Recently I've been checking out quite a few bingo sites and having decided I quite enjoy the game decided to head over to Bingo Day to see if my luck would be with me during a few games. There seem to be more and more bingo sites cropping up and so I was interested to see if this Playtech-powered site had what it takes to keep a player coming back for more!
Any site that decides to use Playtech software is highly likely to be respectable - after all the software is not cheap to purchase! Similarly, the 'about us' section of the site showed that the site was managed by the same people that run Titan Poker, Casino Tropez and Cameo Casino. It's always good to know a bit about the people running a site and since these guys have a good background in online gambling, I headed over the download part of the Bingo Day site without any reservations.

Although a number of websites operate using no-download software, as hinted at above, Bingo Day actually requires users to download and install their software to be able to play. However, this process is pretty easy and only needs to be performed once. Similarly, the 200k installer should take players only a few seconds to obtain. Having said that, the software then takes a further few minutes to install further files.

Once inside the software a player can then create a new account. Having not played here before this is something I too had to do. The sign-up process is straight forward and anyone who's played at Playtech-powered software before will be used to the form that is used to capture a new player's details. Unfortunately US players are not welcome at Bingo Day due to legislation in that country. As a result the play currency at Bingo Day is the UK Pound which suggests that this is very much a UK focussed site.

One thing that impressed me with Bingo Day is that even before the lobby had loaded 'Chelsea' from the support team had opened a chat window to check that everything was OK and that I was having no issues. I realise this is probably partly to ensure I go on to make a deposit, but I thought this personal service was great. I had the same thing happen on a few further occasions and I definitely got the feeling Bingo Day were pleased that I had become a member and genuinely wanted to offer support if I needed it.

Once the software had loaded and I was logged in I quickly realised players are dumped directly in the bingo room. Although a few other casino-type casinos can be accessed from a menu system, the focus of this site is clearly bingo. Of course, with only one game being available it also means that the bingo room is always likely to be reasonably populated. There's nothing worse than trying to get a game with only a handful of people logged in. Incidentally, the version of bingo played here is 90-ball where players battle it out to be the first to claim 1-line, 2-lines and a full house. This is certainly a popular form of the game, although 75-ball players will obviously be disappointed with the lack of this type of game at Bingo Day.
