Carlton Bingo

Introduction

Carlton Bingo is operated by Jumpman Gaming, but comes a history tied to the land-based Carlton Bingo clubs in the UK. The latter started operating in 1998, with the online operations starting somewhere around 2001, though the the online bingo site itself only started full operations in 2007. But how does this online bingo site look and feel, and how does it compare to other similar sites?

...small-timer or a remnant of the past?

It’s quite obvious from the first look on that Carlton bingo isn’t out to cover all bases. That is to say, what they offer is quite limited. Online slots and online bingo, and not too extensive in either area. The site itself comes with a simple design, and you an find anything and everything you want directly from the front page.

...in short, this is a site that offers bingo games and a handful of side-games to enjoy alongside them. And that seems to work pretty well, especially now that everything works on mobile devices too. The site works via the UK and the Alderney gambling licenses.

...but there seems to be no connection with the land-based operations

We’re not quite sure why this is so, but the site doesn’t really make much of the long history of bingo halls. These are two different operations, which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully they will explore the possibilities of this area a bit more in the future.

...Bonuses, promotions and customer service

Players get their hands in a pretty good welcome offer, which is then further reinforced by promotions that seem never-ending. If you’ve played in a bingo site run by Jumpman Gaming before you’re probably familiar with the abundance of the promos...if not, have a look now!

Customer support at the site is a bit of a disappointment. Your only option is email, in English, and even then responses can take up to 48 hours.

Tip: You can complete tasks to unlock trophies, which will then give you access to the Mega Wheel of extra bonuses.

Banking Deposit/Withdrawal

• You can claim a spin on the Mega Wheel for each deposit of £20 or over, unless you have a pending withdrawal.
• Maximum withdrawal from bonus wins is limited to life-time deposits total.
• Players need to be aware that the site uses the GBP, and as such all deposits done with other currencies are subject to exchange rates.
• Both the player and the casino may apply deposit limits on player account.
• All withdrawals are subject to a £2.50 transaction fee.

Games

As the site is managed by Jumpan Gaming the selection of games available comes directly from the platform this company offers. Not all of the possible games have been included, as this site for example only includes two table games. Carlton Bingo is very much concentrated on bingo games, and even though you can find several hundred online slots, they are still treated as side games.

The bingo games come with 30 ball, 75 ball, 80 ball and 90 ball varieties. There are a couple variants missing, but this is already more variety than most other online bingo sites can offer. 90 balls bingo is by far the most common, with several rooms available. There’s some nice variety when it comes to ticket prices and top prizes too.

...but it’s the jackpot rooms that will really draw you in. Jackpot rooms are not always readily available though, as they are only available on certain days. The biggest jackpots tend to be reserved for the weekend, but you can find rooms that reach into the thousands during the weekdays too. Superb for casual players who want a bit of extra excitement for relaxation.

There are also plenty of online slot jackpots, both fixed and progressives. These might not include the biggest names in the industry, but they do still offer dozens of jackpot games to choose from. 

As said, table games are very limited. The site used to have a live casino too, but at the moment of writing this seems to have been disabled. It’s a bit unclear if it’s going to make a comeback sooner or later.

Online slots offer some familiar producers and also exclusive games from Jumpman Gaming’s own selection. There are all sorts of games available, whether that is classic slots or modern games with extraordinary special features. Excellent for some spins on the side.

...overall, we love the variety of bingo games you can enjoy here.

Mobile Overview

This bingo site is fully mobile compatible, automatically scaling to all devices from smartphones to tablets. The games also enjoy the beenfits of modern web design, which at times also includes different button placement and such for touchscreens. The overall site design, which aims for simplicity, further reinforces the customer experience when playing on the go.

Loyalty Program

Though the VIP or loyalty program is still based on levels, it’s is not quite the same as the standard loyalty program that you will run into on other sites. Instead of playing for points, you get to chase trophies and fulfill missions to unlock unique rewards and achievements.

The promotions also add their own benefits, such as giveaways and raffles for depositing players. Finally, there is the Mega Wheel, which players get to spin from time to time, winning extra spins for games.

Conclusion

Carlton Bingo comes with a long tradition brought to modern times. The selection of bingo games is great, and the same applies for online slots and jackpots. Table games and other speciality games are a bit lacking, but that doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be enough side games to enjoy.

The site might not differ that much from other casino sites run on the same platform, and the customer service isn’t the fastest possible. But in our opinion the good far outweighs the negative, making this site worth a try. Open your account today and get started!
