Snowy Bingo

What Software and Games Are Available at Snowy Bingo?

Players will spend most of their time testing out the software and games at the site, so that’s exactly where we’ll be kicking things off. 

Software 

The software list at Snowy Bingo is kept short and sweet with a focus on quality over quantity in its selection of providers and games. 

Players familiar with different casino software brands will be pleased to find Dragonfish taking care of all things bingo; a short list of other providers looks after the rest of the games at Snowy Bingo. Eyecon, IGT, and NetEnt are the other three in operation here. 

Games

The short-and-sweet philosophy is kept consistent when we look at the games available at Snowy Bingo, with just a handful of featured categories available at the site. 

However, we find this site really simple (a good thing) and eye-catching. It’s also really nicely intuitive; perhaps the minimalist look is partly due to the pared-down games in a casino that simply knows what it does best, but whatever the reason, this site works great--esthetically and functionally. 

We also love the way the games are all explained in super, easy-to-find guides that have been thoughtfully written so you’ll always know how to get the best from any game here.

Bingo

Bingo, it will come as no surprise, is the focus of the site for the majority of players visiting, so there’s been a heavy focus on this fabulous bouncy ball game at Snowy Bingo Casino.

Players browsing the bingo games will be able to see each of the following sitting pretty, waiting to be enjoyed: 

• 90-Ball Bingo
• 75-Ball Bingo 
• High 5 Bingo 
• 5-Line Bingo
• VIP Bingo.

The bingo options are again beautifully laid out for ease of browsing, and with over twenty rooms running overall and progressive jackpots throughout the day, there’s little chance players will be disappointed at this site. 

Featured games

As previously mentioned, the categories in which games are featured are kept to a minimum at the site, with the majority of games falling under two main headers.

With the second category named “Featured Games”, there’s a lot to be covered. Here’ you can find instant games such as slots, jackpots, scratchcards, and keno all available. There’s everything from classic slots such as “Cleopatra” and “Starburst” to “Sands of Fortune” and “Fruit Shop”.

Here, it feels a little similar to that crazy drawer in the kitchen; you know, the one into which you just fling everything under the sun that has nowhere else to belong? It’s exactly the same at Snowy Bingo, only it’s less tape and string, more slots and keno... and we love it.

Can I Play Snowy Bingo On My Mobile Device?

Although there are no downloadable apps at Snowy Bingo, there’s a great chance to get to grips with mobile games. 

Players using any of the following devices can play their favorite bingo games on the go, simply by visiting the site from a browser of choice: 

• Desktop (Windows + Mac)
• Tablet (Android + iPad)
• iPhone 
• Android.

That makes things nice and easy and livens up the daily commute - it’s a win-win. 

What Promotions and Bonuses Does Snowy Bingo Have?

Next up on the list, it’s everyone’s favorite - the promotions and bonuses that players will be able to claim at Snowy Bingo.

You’re sure to be happy with the wide selection of promotions and bonuses on offer here, with everything from a great welcome offer and mystery jackpots to free bingo games and even a guaranteed share of $10,000!

Welcome Offer - Deposit $10 & Play with $40

The first bonus you’ll be coming face to face with is the welcome offer available at Snowy Bingo. It’s actually a good one, too. 

Players depositing a minimum of $10 will be able to play with $40, all thanks to a pair of huge bonuses. The bonuses, available as a 200% bingo bonus with an additional 100% game bonus, is up for grabs for all new players with a maximum value of a huge $105 to claim.

However, delve into the Terms and Conditions of the bonus and you come across the usual handful of interesting bonus caveats. First up, it’s the minimum deposit required to claim the bonus; here, it’s only a case of needing to pay in $5 to satisfy the promotion terms--not bad at all.

Next up though, it’s the wagering requirements, everybody’s least favorite part of any online casino bonus or promotion. Thankfully, the wagering requirements at Snowy Bingo aren’t too bad either with just a 4x (deposit + bonus funds) requirement on the bingo bonus and a (somewhat worse) requirement of 80x (bonus) for the games bonus. 

Bonus wins will be capped at just $100, but, with such a generous starting offer, it’s hard to make any complaints!

Mystery jackpots 

There’s the chance to win some serious mystery jackpots at Snowy Bingo, with a dedicated Mystery Jackpot room open to players every single day between the hours of 18:00 and 23:00 (GMT).

During the allocated time frame, players are able to play every six minutes with mystery jackpots revealed just ten seconds before the game starts. Pick up as many tickets as you like, up to a maximum of 96 at just 10p each, to get the very best chance of victory. 

Jackpots range from $10 to a humongous $500 over the 51 daily games, and it’s just a case of who will win--and who will win how much?

The Big $10k

Available for players on an invitation-only basis, “The Big 10k” is one party that you won’t want to be skipping. Put on your best outfit and tiara, and hope to get that elusive invitation!

Players will be entered into a guaranteed jackpot of $5,000 to be split between FH ($750), 2L ($500), 1Line ($250), 1TG (£2,000), and 2TG ($1,500) in the special game. The remaining $5,000 in cash will be split in accordance with the number of tickets held, with the following split of tickets shown:

• Bingo Champ - 10 
• Bingo Master - 5 
• Bingo Pro - 2.

It’s all to play for and everyone’s a winner. It’s the size of the prize that’s the unknown in this adrenaline-fuelled game!

Win free bingo spins 

There’s the chance for players to win free spins at Snowy Bingo every single day from Sunday to Thursday at 21:00 (GMT). 

All players have to do is join in with the WOW daily games and purchase their tickets from just 1p. Players are able to claim a number of fantastic spin-based prizes with FH (100 spins), 2Line (50 spins), 1Line (20 spins), 1TG (10 spins each) and 2TG (5 spins each). 

Once granted, free spins will be available for use for the following seven days, but don’t forget to try your luck every single day at the site. 

There are plenty more promotions and bonuses available at Snowy Bingo, but in the interest of both time and space, we’re leaving those for you to discover by yourself. But be warned, a little birdy told me something about some unrivaled daily deposit bonuses...

Is There a Loyalty Program at Snowy Bingo?

There’s a fantastic loyalty reward scheme to take advantage of when playing at Snowy Bingo, with four VIP loyalty levels to reach. 

A traditional comp-points systems 

As with the majority of online gaming platforms, Snowy Bingo has adopted a traditional comp-points system to allow players to make the most of their gaming endeavors. 

The loyalty benefits (including monthly cashback, monthly free cards, and free spins) are calculated at the beginning of each calendar month, with the site viewing the loyalty points earned the previous month. The full breakdown of the loyalty levels and jewels required can be seen below: 

Table: Jewel requirements for the loyalty levels at Snowy Bingo

As loyalty is determined on a monthly basis, players must be registered and classified as a 'Bingo Pro' (as a minimum) at the end of each calendar month if they’re to be provided with any loyalty benefits. A full breakdown of benefits can be found in the table below:

Table: Benefits on offer by loyalty level at Snowy Bingo

Jewels are awarded upon deposit, with $1 in deposit funds equal to 12 jewels at the site. These jewels are updated every 24 hours at the site, so there’s nothing to worry about if a player’s jewel count is taking up to this length of time to update.

Cashback is rewarded as either a game or bingo bonus up to a maximum of $100, and can be calculated with the “Wager – Wins” formula. To receive the entitled loyalty points, respond to the appropriate loyalty email within 72 hours to have loyalty benefits awarded inside seven days.

What Deposit Methods Does Snowy Bingo Have?

When it comes time to finally make that first deposit, players aren’t left in the dark with a fantastic, albeit small, selection of deposit methods available. 

There shouldn’t be any issues with MasterCard, Visa, PayPal and even Apple Pay options available, but those looking for a little something else will be able to find just that. Here are all the methods: 

• MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, PaysafeCard, PayPal, Entropay, Apple Pay, By Phone 

What Withdrawal Methods Does Snowy Bingo Have?

Similarly, when players are looking to withdraw funds, they’ll see a small handful of quality methods available.

The basics in Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal are all covered with a handful of others for good measure. You can see the full list of withdrawal methods below: 

• Bank Wire Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, PayPal.

Withdrawal times will, naturally, depend on the withdrawal methods chosen, but here’s an overview: 

• EWallets: 2-3 days 
• Credit / Debit Cards: 5 days 
• Bank Transfers: 4-7 days
• Cheques: Not offered 
• Pending time: 24-48 hours. 

There is a minimum withdrawal of just $5 at the site, with a maximum of ten withdrawals in a single day. However, there is no maximum withdrawal as far as we can see, good news for those high rollers among us.

Is Snowy Bingo a Reputable Place to Play?

We don’t have any major criticisms and/or controversies surrounding Snowy Bingo itself, but that isn’t to say that we couldn’t dig out a couple of gripes when we looked for some.

Part of the 888 Network 

Unfortunately, due to the strong ties with the 888 Network as mentioned at the start of our review, Snowy Bingo is just one site of many painted with the same brush due to the unlawful actions of the company. 

In 2017, the 888 Group was handed the single largest fine issued to date by the UKGC due to failures surrounding the enforcement of Responsible Gambling. As with every punishment handed out, we’d hope that the network has since corrected any errors and changed its ways, but it will remain an area of concern for players. 

Although it may not affect the Snowy Bingo site, it is an area for new players to be aware of. 

Dated website, or just old-school? 

Another criticism that could be applied to Snowy Bingo pertains to the website design itself. 

We rather like its pared-back look as stated earlier, especially given that it’s selling older games based around slots and bingo. As these are associated with the old-school customer in the UK where these games are popular, many players invariably love the site’s simplicity and traditional styling. This site is reminiscent of the seaside penny arcades and there isn’t much to criticize there. 

However, younger players may struggle to identify with Snowy Bingo’s esthetic for all the same reasons, and it would probably be a bad idea to just target an older audience. For a site launched in 2016, the design would be right at home in the mid-noughties. 

So, is that good or bad? 

That depends on the current player profile and presumably, client retention isn’t a problem--but it could become so.

Naturally, the snowy theme is another divider, as you might expect from any seasonal site. The icicles, snowmen and Christmas trees featured aren’t exactly a good fit for players in the summer. We thought global warming was meant to be a thing? However, we revert to the point that this site is UK oriented--and the weather’s said to be lousy over there. No wonder Harry and Meghan escaped!

Bottom Line

There’s a great selection of bingo and alternative featured games from a small selection of solid providers as well as a wonderful array of bonuses. 

Snowy Bingo’s loyalty system treats its players as they should be treated, and licensing shows real commitment to fair gameplay. Full marks for all these points.  

This site’s old-style, traditional look and relatively few game types won’t be for everyone, but you’re bound to enjoy Snowy Bingo if you commit to giving it a go.
