Time does fly in the online bingo world. One minute you are the first online bingo site around and the next, 14 years has passed you by and all of a sudden, you’re the Grandpa of the pack.
This is how it appears at Cyberbingo, but one look at the recent news that Cyberbingo celebrated 1 billion games gives us hope there is still some life in the old dog yet. And in fact, Cyberbingo is relatively new to the UK scene, having launched in 2007 here… so, can it really keep up when compared to the fast paced contenders that are around now?!
Sometimes change is bad…
The age thing works both for and against Cyberbingo. One example of why age really is a good thing is most notable in Cyberbingo’s amazing welcome bonus scheme, which takes us way back when. There is a massive £100 free bingo money to welcome you to Cyberbingo’s special trial room. That’s a whole heap of try before you buy – and if you find yourself liking it, there is the added incentive of a gargantuan 500% deposit bonus. Seems like the US roots of Cyberbingo have definitely informed their bonus schemes – it’s positively supersized!
Age before beauty??
But like we said, Cyberbingo’s age works both for and against it. And this is most notable in it’s looks. Cyberbingo is not the prettiest kid in class, it has to be said. The site looks and feels a little clunky, although it’s fair to say it’s not without charm for it. But we think a bit of a facelift may be in order as there are a few wrinkles that tarnish what could be a really great bingo site. At the same time though, Cyberbingo has plenty of hints for beginners and well organised and accessible information to help you on your way.
Still going strong?
The bingo selection isn’t breathtaking, but across five rooms, you still find plenty to tickle your fancy. I guess looking at this from the perspective of a seasoned player, we were a little disappointed that Cyberbingo haven’t caught up with the times when it comes to newer trends in online bingo, such as budget bingo, speed bingo and team bingo offers. Plenty of sites seem to pack in more, but let’s not do Cyberbingo’s selection down too much. 75 ball, 90 ball and 80 ball games play and there are plenty of big money games alongside free bingo treats and guaranteed jackpots.
There is also a great community feel, with bonus points a plenty in the great chat games. And we have to say, we think that Cyberbingo certainly scores extra points for not being afraid of knowing what it is. There is a fine line between playing it safe and becoming something you are not, and for that, we think Cyberbingo should be commended. But if they plan on another 14 years, we reckon there are a few things in need of renovation – to prevent this great online bingo site falling behind the ever increasing army of bingo young guns.
