Sky Bingo Review

Sky Bingo is one of the smaller players in the muti-brand website wars but is still pretty much keeping up with the competition.  Unfortunately they have firmly targeted the bingo part of their website at the female players or guys who overly love pink.  Not one to play in front of the lads we are afraid!  Of course there is sports, casino and vegas slots but.. meh…

What’s On Offer

There is nothing free on Sky Bingo which puts it at a huge disadvantage over most other bingo sites out there.  There is no free money (becoming rare nowadays) and not even one type of deposit or redeposit bonus.  It’s a shame really, no incentive at all.  There is the (usual) BOGOF bingo and not so usual Buy One get Two Free bingo which is a nice surprise.  Sky Bingo have a few other promotions going on but none would appeal to men so it’s pointless mentioning them here, sigh…

What’s the Bingo Like?

Software is fine , Virtue Fusion again so solid as a rock.  90 Balls, 80 Ball, 75 Ball, Joker and Speed bingo all make an appearance as well as a whole host of mini games some with amazingly huge jackpots.  Interface is as would expected a little on the girly side, no way you could play this while playing in the poker room with your mates round.

Slots and Other Games

Sky Bet is becoming more and more popular (who doesn’t have Sky!), most people have heard of it or seen it advertised on one of Sky’s many TV channels.  You can even place bets via your TV which we think is pushing it a little too far   They have betting on the  Strictly Come Dancing Winner and normal stuff like Formula 1 and the Premiership.  Sky Poker is pretty neat with you being able to take part in live TV tournaments albeit on Sky’s who knows how much watched own TV channel.  One interesting thing about the Sky Poker client is that you don’t need to download it meaning you can play at work or on holiday!  It all loads in the browser which isn’t normal in the poker circles but possibly quite welcome.  Sky Vegas is interesting with dozens of slots and table games to take your fancy and up to 15% cash-back on bets which you can’t complain about.

Unique Points and Conclusion

• Can play on TV, wooooo!
• 15% cash-back on the Casino.
• Great looking if you LOVE pink.
• Fantastic if you like horoscopes, sex advice or showbiz gossip :S
• You can play Deal or No Deal.

Sky Bingo seemed a lot better when we started this review than we have now come to conclude.  Upon using the site and looking more closely at what’s on offer in terms of sports, casino, games and bingo we have found out that the site isn’t very good at all, especially for the bingo playing man.  The bingo site is so in your face pink its hard to even be on there for more than a few seconds.  The sports site isn’t much better due to a not so good interface and the only saving grace being the in-browser poker and decent amount of casino games.
