In the past couple of days, we’ve been informed about a (supposedly) brand new bingo site that had slipped our attention here at Two Little Fleas, a brand that got through under the radar so to speak. So, we thought we’d dig a little deeper into the world of Mainstage Bingo and all that it has to offer.
Mainstage Bingo is hosted on the Beast Gaming Network, alongside brands like Nudge Nudge Bingo and Bingo Northern Ireland. The network was also home to Braveheart Bingo and 50 Shades of Bingo but both of these sites have now been merged with other Beast Gaming bingo brands.
Mainstage Bingo was launched in a low-key affair back in May 2013, although a representative of the site told us that it had been operating since May 2012. However, this can’t be true, as the domain www.mainstagebingo.com wasn’t registered until April 2013! So what DO we know about Mainstage Bingo?
Mainstage Bingo is owned by Caddell Limited N.V, which is a Curacao-based company and the site is operated by Imperium Network Solutions Limited of Kent in the UK. All games are licensed and regulated by the Government of Curacao, which is NOT a white-listed jurisdiction of the UK Gambling Control Commission but nor are many other regulatory bodies out there.
When you first signup at Mainstage Bingo you are given a £5 no-deposit bonus followed by a 300% first deposit bonus of up to £150 (according to the site’s representative, although it says 200% up to £200 on the website). If you buy bingo tickets with these bonuses, you will face just a 4x bonus / 4x bonus + deposit wagering requirement. However, for bingo side games, these wagering requirements climb to 50x!
Players from many countries around the world are welcomed at Mainstage Bingo, with a few exceptions, notably the US. You can choose to play in a variety of languages using a number of different currencies, making the bingo site a truly international place to play bingo.
Overall, we’re not overly convinced about Mainstage Bingo for a number of reasons. Firstly, the differing and inaccurate information from the website and representatives of the brand left us doubting anything we were told. Secondly, the low-key launch that was largely missed by most of the industry made us wonder too and finally, the site is ‘licensed’ in Curacao!
If you want to take a look around at the site and judge for yourself, you can do so by visiting www.mainstagebingo.com and getting that free fiver. You don’t need to enter any financial details to get your bonus so you can take a look around risk free.
** Update 06/11/2014 **
Mainstage Bingo does now hold a UK license, it is currently owned by White Hat Gaming.
