Littlewoods Bingo
GENERAL
Littlewoods are a large reputable company who have now branched into the Bingo market.
LOOK OF SITE
The littlewoods website is professional looking and inviting. There are bright colours and this site was not girly like other sites we tested. We think men could play bingo quite comfortably on this website, as well as the other games on offer such as Blackjack.
OFFERS
When you sign up you get £1.00 free on registration. You can play a few games with this to get a feel for the site.
EASE OF BUYING TICKETS
It was very simple to purchase tickets for the next online Bingo game.
GAMES
You go to the bingo cafe to play the games. We reviewed the Giant Jackpot game. The prizes were not exactly giant jackpots however. It was £10 for line and £20 for a full hous
e.
Before the game started the host says "good luck everybody" and this builds a good sense of excitement and community.
The second game was the Lunchtime Powerpot game which was slightly more expensive at 25p a card. The prizes were a bit better though with £100 for a full houe and £10 a line. There were 78 players on this one.
Next we reviewed the Final Jackpot Game. There were only 10 players on this one. Because of this the prizes were very low with a full house only winning £5.00.
If you want a ch
ange from Bingo there are loads of other games to play including a Day Out at th
e Races, Grow Me The Money, Blackjack, Atlantis Gold, Big Top and more.
PRIZES
Prizes vary according to the game and number of players online, but you can win around £100 for a full house on the Lunchtime Powerpot Game. Other games fetch just £5.00 for a full house.
COST
TO PLAY
It was only 10p a card to play on the game we tested so we could get ten cards with our free bingo money. We thought this site was loads better than some other sites for value for money and clarity.
ONLINE BINGO CHAT
You can select a room to chat in which is different from some other bingo sites where there is
just one central area. There were 67 people chatting at the bingo cafe while we were playing.

USER REVIEW
When I arrived at the home page to the Littlewoods Bingo site I immediately warmed to it, liking the bright colours and easy navigation menus. The site appears to be quite good for beginners like me with clear "getting started" instructions in the menu. I noticed that there are many types of games to choose from including instant win games and scratch cards.
Bingo Tickets start at 10p and there is a timetable on the site showing the game times and special offers such as bye one get one free and half price ticket hours.
As a online bingo novice I was excited to get started and play my first game. Registration for the site was quick and easy and following registration I was given clear instructions on how to start playing.
After registration 10p was showing in my account and I was instructed to validate my email to receive the rest of my bonus. After clicking on the link in the email they had sent, a further 90p was in my account so in total I now had £1.00 to play with. I had been expecting £10.00 as this is the offer displayed on the home page however a closer read of the offer showed that you need to first deposit £10.00 to receive the full bonus.
In fact they offer to price match your first deposit up to £125.00 which is quite a good deal if you are regular player. Although it would have been nice to have £10.00 to play with I was happy just to be able to have a go without depositing anything. So with registration out of the way I embarked on my first online Bingo experience, determined to stick to my £1.00 budget!
Keen to explore the site fully before playing I had a look in the community section and found several non bingo related areas such as health and beauty, horoscopes. and a quiz corner.
I decided to take the plunge and play my first game of bingo in the "Bingo Cafe" I clicked the tab for more info and found that this area of the site is great for beginners. there were full and clear instruction on many types of game and I was promised a "relaxed game of bingo" with the option to chat to other players. I found it fairly easy to buy tickets by moving the courser to the number I wanted. A snip at only 10p I decided to get 4!
The box at the top of the screen showed that we were playing for a line, 2 lines and then a full house, so fairly straightforward. The game started and I found myself really enjoying it. The chatter's seemed like a friendly bunch with many "good lucks" and other encouraging messages.
The number were called very clearly and the game was easy to follow. The prizes were fairly low in this game with the full house winner getting £25.00. Unfortunately I did not win so decided to step it up a notch and have a go at the Fireball jackpot. At 25p a ticket this was a more expensive game but the prizes were bigger too with the winner of 1 line getting £10.00, 2 lines £20.00 and full house £100!
The game flew over and although I was not one of the winners I enjoyed it all the same. Over all I really like this site. The layout was easily navigated, the instructions clear the the look of the site inviting. As a newcomer to online bingo i found everything I was looking for here and I will be back with a bigger budget!
