Buzz Bingo

Buzz Bingo is one of the most recognisable bingo brands in the country, with 82 high street clubs across the UK. I was already familiar with Buzz Bingo, as I'd had the opportunity to review their slots offering in recent weeks, so I was interested to circle back to their online bingo rooms for this review.

As it's a Virtue Fusion-powered bingo site, and I've reviewed a few of these, I had a fair idea of what to expect. I knew how the bingo rooms would look and operate, and that they would be of a consistently high quality with games that worked well. However, I wasn't expecting such an enormous sense of community! The players at Buzz Bingo really do feel like a big group of friends, and it's this feeling of inclusion that makes Buzz stand out.

Alongside an ample collection of bingo rooms, which include smash-hit games like Deal or No Deal The Big Draw and Fluffy Favourites Bingo, there’s also a whole casino section that you can enjoy through the same account. 

With plenty of free bingo up for grabs, as well as guaranteed prize games, cash giveaways, free spins and other goodies, this is a bingo site where you’ll feel rewarded for being part of the community. And with a supportive network of fellow players never too far away, Buzz Bingo is a lively, friendly place to play online bingo and slots.

There’s pretty much nothing I don’t like here.

Buzz Bingo does bingo and slots better than a lot of other sites on the market, and with great customer support and banking options adding to the overall experience, Buzz Bingo earns a rightful place amongst the very best bingo sites in the UK.

Playtech's well-known brand, Virtue Fusion, powers the Buzz Bingo site. That means you can rest assured that the games are all high quality, and stable enough to avoid the vast majority of technical problems experienced at some other sites. 

With an array of bingo rooms covering all the major versions, plus some more niche choices, it’s good to know that you’re getting a good software experience, no matter which games you play.

In terms of design and layout, it’s impossible to fault the setup at Buzz Bingo. Everything feels very slick and streamlined. From the site's navigation to the colours and visuals used throughout, right down to the fonts, this is a very well-designed bingo site, whether you’re playing on desktop or your mobile.

Buzz Bingo has apps available for iOS and Android device users. The apps are quick and easy to install, in just a few taps from any device. With a full selection of slots and bingo rooms available on the app, you can get a fully native experience – perfect for playing on a smaller screen. 

Alternatively, click on your phone’s internet browser and enjoy a similar experience without the need to download anything.

As you’d expect, Buzz Bingo has a large selection of different bingo rooms available, each giving you the chance to play for real money. There are also free bingo rooms that run every single day of the week. As long as you’re a Buzz Bingo account holder, you’re eligible to join the action and see if you can become a winner!

On the bingo side, there are ample options for 90-ball, 80-ball and 75-ball games, so you’ll never be stuck for something new to play. There are even some novelty bingo rooms that include games based on popular TV shows, offering something a bit different.

Popular TV-inspired bingo games at Buzz Bingo include The Money Drop, Cash Cubes and Deal or No Deal Bing 90.

Aside from its regular selection of bingo games, Buzz Bingo likes to call itself ‘the home of live bingo’. There are live-streamed bingo games throughout the day that allow you to get involved from just 1p entry, all run by a professional real-life bingo caller. It's the closest thing you’ll get to physically being in a Buzz Bingo club without leaving the comfort of home.

Slots

On the slots side, Buzz Bingo packs a punch too, with a fine selection of new, popular, jackpot and progressive jackpot slots to choose from. 

Look out for the likes of Rainbow Riches, Golden Treasures, Starburst, Thunderstruck Wild Lightning and loads more, all waiting for you to take them for a spin!

One thing that really jumped out at me was that the graphics and animations on the slots pages are really vibrant and attractive. Some of the thumbnails even come to life as you scroll through the games catalogue, which makes them all the more appealing. It’s all part of the gaming experience that makes Buzz Bingo stand head and shoulders above its competitors, as both a bingo and slots site that you can call home.

Casino Games

There’s also a very decent casino offering, if you prefer classic games like blackjack and roulette. This section of Buzz Bingo's site also includes a great number of live dealer tables, for those who enjoy an authentic casino experience.

Live casino games available at Buzz Bingo include Quantum Roulette, Sic Bo Deluxe and Adventures Beyond Wonderland.

All in, between the bingo rooms, the slots collection and the casino catalogue, Buzz Bingo does an excellent job on the games front. I’d be more than happy to make this my default choice for bingo, and indeed slots play.

You'll find plenty of great promotions at Buzz Bingo. Go to the Promos tab on the expanding left-hand menu to find the latest bingo and slots offers. 

As well as the welcome bonus package, you’ll see a list of regular and ongoing promos, designed to keep you engaged as part of the Buzz Bingo family. 

Many of these promotions have no wagering attached, so you don’t have to worry about meeting unrealistic wagering requirements to get your hands on your winnings.

Deposits and withdrawals are supported across a variety of convenient payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, PayPal, Paysafecard and Apple Pay. Just be aware that Apple Pay and Paysafecard are only suitable for deposits, not withdrawals. 

The minimum deposit amount is £5, while withdrawals are a minimum of £5 unless you’re requesting a final withdrawal to close your account.

Withdrawal requests at Buzz Bingo are processed in just a few hours. However, each payment method has its own pending/approval period, so don't forget to add this to Buzz's processing time to get a rough estimate of when to expect your winnings. 

Depending on which payment option you choose for withdrawal, you should expect to see winnings land in your account within 2 to 5 working days. 

Buzz Group Limited is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the UK Gambling Commission under account number 2355.

This is a requirement under UK law for any legitimate operator, but it’s good to know that the Gambling Commission, one of the strictest regulators in the world, is keeping an eye on proceedings.

Buzz Bingo operates a comprehensive FAQ section that can answer basic questions. But if you can't find what you're looking for, don't worry! Buzz Bingo offers multiple ways to contact their customer support team at any time. 

Firstly, you can email the team. You need to include your membership number and full name in the email.

You can also phone them or write to them if you still do the snail mail thing! They're at:

Customer Services, Buzz Bingo, Unit 1, Castle Marina Road, Nottingham, NG7 1TN

Finally, you can contact them through the live chat service that's available Monday to Sunday from 10:00 to 22:00. I found that the service was relatively fast and helpful, and the staff at Buzz answered my questions quickly.
