Design

Butlins bingo stands out from the crowd as a really vibrant, fun looking site with bright citrus colours popping out from a plain white background. This clean design makes both using the site and finding information incredibly simple.

They keep things uncomplicated with just two bingo games rooms although the bingo lobby also includes details of the many 'extra games' they have available too which is rather handy if you're in the mood for something a little different. In terms of design, the bingo rooms themselves are equally colourful and clearly laid out making for a really enjoyable bingo playing experience.

Usability

Butlins Bingo keep things incredibly simple throughout the site and using it is intuitive to such an extent that even novice players are unlikely to need to refer to the 'help' section before playing. This smooth simplicity is largely down to the fact that Butlins base the site on the 'St Minver' shell and while this does take away a lot of the site's individuality it is no bad thing as the end result makes for a really easy to use online bingo experience.

Once you've set up your payment details, crediting funds to and withdrawing money from your account is equally straightforward and purchasing tickets is completely hassle free. Butlins bingo even have an auto-buy functionality that enables you to automatically purchase tickets for any future games you want to play in. This is especially useful if you're keen on instant games as these open up in a fairly large window obscuring most of the bingo screen behind, the auto-buy functionality allows you to continue purchasing tickets and playing so you're still in with a chance of winning big even if you're otherwise occupied.

Games

As a strict 90 ball only site, Butlins bingo keep things simple with just 2 games rooms; the Bingo Cafe and Bingo Lounge. Each room has fixed ticket prices so you know where you stand, although they do throw penny bingo games into the mix to spice things up a little.

Aside from the regular bingo, which by the way they manage to keep interesting despite the lack of games room options largely by running a host of special promotions throughout the week, Butlins bingo have a great selection of instant games on offer and each comes with a really useful, concise explanation of the rules so you can get a feel for what you need to do to win before playing.

Jackpots

As a relatively busy bingo site Butlins bingo are able to go to town with their jackpots. They run three continually rolling progressive jackpots, the 'Giant' (you need to bingo in under 37 calls to claim this monster win) and the 'Snowball' (this can be won with a slightly more achievable 50 call full house) and the newly added 'Fireball' (bingo in 42 calls or less) which regularly reach life changing proportions as well as a fantastic VIP loyalty scheme that sees top players regularly rewarded with extra goodies.

Chat

The Butlins bingo community really is one of the friendliest communities around with both the CMs and players hugely welcoming to new players (you'll literally be inundated with good luck wishes as soon as you log on and say hi!). The CMs seem to be really enthusiastic and there always seems to be something going on whether it's an 'on-your-toes' game or just some lively chat between games.

The community section of the Butlins bingo site is really handy as a reference point as they post details of the latest promotions and news here as well as including entertaining features such as your latest horoscopes.

Support

Butlins bingo make use of the St Minver instant support service which means that you'll get help from customer services assistants who really know what they're talking about whenever you have a question although on the downside it does mean that you're likely to have to wait a few minutes for someone to become available. If instant messaging isn't for you it's also possible to contact the Butlins bingo customer services team by email or phone and, as they have advisers available 365 days a year 25/7, there will always be someone to help whenever you get in touch.
