Tickety Boo Bingo Review

Although the Tickety Boo Games website at www.ticketyboogames.com doesn’t scream ‘charity bingo site’ or ‘Marie Curie’, it doesn’t take long before you realise that the site supports the famous cancer care charity.

Charity Bingo Sites

The last couple of years have seen a big rise in the number of charity bingo sites out there vying for your business.  This is no surprise when you think that the average bingo player, just like the average man or woman on the street, likes to ‘do their bit’, whether that be putting change in a charity box, signing up for a monthly direct debit to a worthy cause or donating some cakes to the local scout fair.  When you play at Tickety Boo Bingo you can enjoy your favourite games, while doing your bit for a good cause like Marie Curie Cancer Care, which we think is a great idea.

Start Playing, Start Giving

Before you can start playing at Tickety Boo Bingo, you will first need to register for a new account at the site.  If you have registered at any other Globalcom-powered bingo site such as Foxy Bingo or 888Ladies, this process will feel familiar.  Simply complete a handful of personal and contact details before you’re up and running, and ready to start playing and giving.

Although details about how much of the money raised by Tickety Boo Bingo goes to Marie Curie are a little difficult to find, we spoke to a member of staff at the charity, who confirmed that all net profits generated by the bingo site will make their way directly to the bank account of Marie Curie Cancer Care.  This means that, after the operator and running costs have been accounted for, all other revenues go directly to the charity.  This is stark contrast to other supposedly charitable enterprises, which often make more money for third parties than they do for the charity they’re representing.  However, we can confirm that this is not the case with Tickety Boo Bingo and Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Tickety Boo Bonuses

When you initially join Tickety Boo Bingo you are offered a 200% first deposit bonus up to £100.  The minimum deposit to qualify for this offer is £10 but there’s no need to opt in or check any boxes.  Simply make a deposit and you will receive your welcome bonus.  All further deposits of £10 or more will receive a 25% reload bonus but, if you up the deposit to £20, the bonus goes up to 50%.

Note that a 4x wagering requirement is attached to each of these offers.

Ways to Play, Win and Give

There are three types of bingo games on offer at Tickety Boo Bingo – classic 90-ball European bingo, US-style 75-ball pattern bingo and the less frequently found 75-ball line bingo or high five bingo, as they call it at Tickety Boo Bingo.  These games are found available to play across a number of ‘networked’ at the site, which means that you will be competing for pots against players across the entire Dragonfish Bingo Network, not just players at Tickety Boo Bingo.

Along with a choice of bingo games, there’s also a host of online slots and bingo side games to play at Tickety Boo Bingo as well.  You will find some of the internet’s most popular side games such as Fluffy Favourites and Cleopatra from providers including IGT and Eyecon Games.

If you’ve ever visited the Marie Curie website before, you may have been directed to the Tickety Boo site at www.ticketyboo.com, which offers lotteries, raffles and prize draws to raise funds for the charity, and which the Tickety Boo Bingo website is styled on.  Although this site operates its own games and also raises money for the charity, it is completely separately from the bingo side of things, which is managed by Cassava Enterprise.  If you have a bingo support query, use the contact details below only.

Free Bingo

Whether you’re a new or an existing player at Tickety Boo Bingo, you can play in free bingo games for real cash prizes.  The two network-wide free rooms can be found at all sites on the Dragonfish Bingo Network, which does mean that they can be very busy.  There’s one free bingo room for funded players, which is open between 4pm and 7pm daily, has £10 cash jackpots to play for and games every 15 minutes.  The other free bingo room can bee accessed by everyone and is open between 7am and 7pm daily, which has £1 jackpot games taking place every 8 minutes.

Globalcom Bingo Software

The Globalcom bingo software used by Tickety Boo Bingo may not be the freshest and most unique platform on the market.  Nor is it winning any awards for style but it is a solid and robust environment from which you can enjoy your favourite games of bingo.  The bingo play window is well designed (if a little dull) and it functions near perfectly.  Everything you need is just within sight and reach, such as your balance, banking facilities, game details and more.  Take our disliking of the software’s overuse out of the equation and the bingo platform at Tickety Boo Bingo receives no criticism whatsoever.

Tickety Boo or Boo Hoo?

Overall, Tickety Boo Bingo is a decent online bingo site.  As discussed, we’re not the biggest fans of the platform but many people are and it has stood the test of time.  Our only real negative point is the lack of any standalone bingo rooms or site-exclusive offers but this may be something that the site addresses at a later date.  Will we be going back to Tickety Boo Bingo again?  Yes, because we have cash left in the account!
