Bubble Bonus Bingo Review

For a site with “bonus” in its name, Bubble Bonus Bingo keeps things short. There is a GO100 code for newcomers and an HOUR reload on Mondays, both at 2x. Read the smallprint on each and the Monday reload turns out bigger than the homepage welcome. But is this website worth a go or will it pop your bubble? Keep reading our review and find out.

Bubble Bonus Bingo Facts

First Impressions

Our first impressions were pretty average. The site is designed OK, there is nothing particularly inviting about the layout, colour scheme and general feel about the site. However, at the same time, it’s hard to pinpoint lots of things that turn us off about the site. To be honest, the design and layout of the site leave us with hardly any feeling whether it be positive or negative.

That still holds after the redesign. The hero on our latest revisit had no words in it at all, just a sky of soap bubbles with bingo balls floating inside them (19, 36, 23, 6 and 14, if you’re counting). The offer sits in small print underneath.

Oddly for a bingo brand, the logged-out homepage shows no bingo. Its only game row is a dozen Popular Slots, and the page’s search title promises “Bigger Bonuses” and free spins that the current welcome deal doesn’t include.

Monday Happy Hour and the HOUR Code

Our old page called this the 100% reload, and it’s still in the terms. Between 4pm and 6pm on a Monday, a deposit of £10 or more with HOUR earns a pound-for-pound bingo bonus capped at £100, with the same 2x wagering as GO100. It’s for players who’ve deposited before, and the terms let you reuse it on every top-up inside those two hours.

That max is twice the welcome cap, which makes HOUR the most generous thing on the site for anyone already signed up.

One wrinkle. The full terms pin the reload to 16:00 to 18:00 throughout, then one line says the promo “is valid until Midnight”. We wouldn’t bank on the evening. Deposit before six.

Anyone searching for a Bubble Bonus Bingo promo code will find that GO100 and HOUR are the only two in use. The Bubble Wheel our old page led with isn’t offered any more, and neither is the 20 free spins bundle.

The GO100 Welcome Offer

GO100 is a first-deposit code. Pay in anything between £10 and £50 and Bubble Bonus doubles it in bingo bonus, so a £30 top-up plays as £60. Past £50 the match stops growing. You claim it from the Offers tab rather than the ordinary cashier, and a bonus that doesn’t appear straight away usually turns up among your rewards and vouchers.

GO100 can’t be combined with any other promotion, so a first deposit made on a Monday afternoon is a choice between GO100 and HOUR. For a deposit of up to £50 they pay the same.

Bonus Wagering

2x on the bingo bonus. Deposit £25, get £25 of bonus, and you need to play £50 through bingo tickets before the bonus and its winnings move to cash. Your own cash gets spent first, and the bonus can’t go near the slots. You get five days to use it, and staying logged out for five days in a row loses it early.

Bingo Rooms and Slots

When it comes to bingo and slot games, everything is pretty much standard and expected. You will find the standard 90-ball and 75-ball lobby.

Mystery Jackpots is the one room with its smallprint public. There the full house prize (£10 to £500) is only revealed as ticket sales close. A game costs at most £9.60, because the terms cap you at 96 tickets and the dearest is 10p, and a shared full house is split between the winning tickets.

When it comes to slots, the selection is predictably good as they benefit from the whole Dragonfish library of games. The homepage row runs from Fishin’ Pots of Gold and Queens of Ra Coin Collect to The Showman, Fruit Fusion Lightning Reels and a Club 80 tile, and the games page promises Slingo and Megaways titles on top.

Site Preview

Is There a Bubble Bonus Bingo App?

No.  Searching both UK app stores by name finds nothing from Bubble Bonus, only other people’s bingo apps.

You play in the phone’s browser instead. Chrome is the browser Bubble Bonus’s support pages suggest, and they say to switch off portrait orientation lock if the game throws an error when you turn the phone sideways. On a phone, some cashier screens need landscape view.

Bubble Bonus Bingo Login

Getting started at Bubble Bonus is easy. You can easily create an account and be ready to play in a matter of 2-5 minutes depending on how quickly you type. The registration form only asks for necessary details including your name, address and phone number. You will also be asked to confirm that you are over 18 and agree to the terms and conditions by ticking the box. After that, it’s just a question of choosing a username and password and then you will be ready to play.

Locked out of your Bubble Bonus Bingo login? Hit Forgotten Password without typing anything else. Give the reset email up to ten minutes (spam folder included). The odd bit of advice from support is to copy its link and paste it into a Chrome tab by hand, since tapping it can fail and the token soon expires.

A forgotten username is harder. There’s no email reminder. Support has to look it up, and only after you’ve sent a photo of your ID, framed so the whole document shows.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Valid payment methods at this bingo site include:

• Debit cards (Visa or Mastercard)
• PayPal (charged at 10p a go)
• Apple Pay
• Wire Transfer (payouts only, used for winnings above your total deposits)

Both minimums are now £10, where our old page said £5. PayPal’s 10p is built into the checkout total, and the terms treat it as spending when they measure you against your limits.

A Bubble Bonus Bingo withdrawal takes up to 2 business days to process. After that the terms allow up to 5 business days for cards and Apple Pay, and up to 3 for PayPal, with the full ranges running to 4-7 and 4-5 business days. Wire transfers take longest, at 7-10. Each method can only be paid back as much as it has put in, and the terms call that its Transaction Balance.

Two small practical points from the help centre. The cashier’s transaction history only reaches back 90 days, so download it if you keep records. And if your bank sends a replacement card with the same long number, you can’t just add it, you have to ask live chat to update it.

Licensing and Safer Play

Bubble Bonus Bingo is part of the larger Broadway Gaming Group and the brand is fully regulated and licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (account number 58267). It’s Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited that the footer names as licence holder, and bubblebonusbingo.com shows as active on the register.

As you would expect, they strongly encourage responsible gambling and offer tools to help you control your spending as well as help and support through the likes of GamCare and BeGambleAware.

A couple of the tools behave in ways you’d want to know first. Game time reminders are saved in your browser, so clearing cookies or moving to another device quietly switches them off. And the GAMSTOP article admits that, because of technical issues, the site may not be able to let you back after a GAMSTOP exclusion ends.

Help comes by email or through a live chat window the support pages say never closes. Nobody answers the phone; there is no phone line.

Sister Sites

Bubble Bonus shares its licence and its Dragonfish bingo software with these sites, which we’ve also reviewed:

• Costa Bingo
• Nutty Bingo
• Hippo Bingo
• Lucky Charm Bingo

One name that isn’t related is Double Bubble Bingo. Searches for “double bubble bonus bingo” tend to blur the two, but Double Bubble is a Gamesys site built around its own slot and holds a separate licence. For every other brand the same Dublin company runs, see our Broadway Gaming sites guide.
