Hunky Bingo casino review (UK)

Hunky Bingo Casino has a neat bonus offer, which does have some strict terms.

Sign up for an account and make a minimum deposit of £10 to claim the following:

• Claim 100% bonus up to £10 bingo bonus + 50 bonus spins when using promo code FREE50

Signing up only takes two minutes. Follow the simple steps below:

1. Sign up for a Hunky Bingo account
2. Verify your account by email
3. Make a minimum deposit of £10 using the promo code FREE50
4. Your welcome bonus will be credited to your account

So, what we're looking at here is something I've seen on several other bingo-focused casinos: A small deposit bonus accompanied by some bonus spins. The good news is you can claim this offer with just a tenner, but the wagering requirements and the cap on the bonus winnings make sure you probably don't get to walk away with full pockets.

First, the bingo bonus needs to be wagered 4x. Additionally, the bonus spin winnings have a wagering requirement of 99x. In the end, the bonus winnings are capped at £100 plus the original bonus amount.

There are plenty of bingo games available to play here, including free Bingo, penny bingo and jackpot bingo.

Whilst playing bingo games, you also have the option to play some slots in the column on the right of the screen. I found this more of a distraction as every time the bingo game loaded up, the slots reloaded and flashed away. On my laptop, the slot screen was far too small to play it effectively and see what was going on. Pretty pointless stuff unless you are playing it on your TV screen.

Moving onto the bread and butter, the slot games selection, I picked a couple from the 'Hot Games' tab. I found it annoying that games opened up in a new window which was easy to lose on my screen if I forgot to close it. Temple of Iris was first up with some £0.40 spins, but nothing to report there. I moved on to Rise of Maya, but again there was nothing coming my way. I fell back on a true classic with Immortal Romance, but the vampires weren't kind to me and just sucked the life out of my funds instead.

Browsing the casino, I quickly noticed the biggest weakness of the site, the size. It is refreshing to have a site where you have a limited selection, as it makes it less overwhelming. But the fact is that it won't take too long until you have played everything you really want to. Then it's just a question of those games being good enough. Hunky Bingo has some quality games which do have some staying power.

There's no easy way to put this - my mobile experience was a disaster. There's no app available, so I loaded up the site in a Chrome browser on my Android phone. The screen was all scrunched up and impossible to use in portrait and not much better in landscape mode. I tried to play a game of ‘Wonky Bingo', but it was impossible to see my card.

Slot games were a different story as they loaded up in a new window, so took up the full screen. However, finding them to select was still very tricky because of the mobile unfriendly design here. I had a few £0.10 spins on Piggy Riches Megaways, but it had difficulty connecting to the server and just kept spinning.

This is the worst mobile experience I've had from a casino site in a long time, and they really need a redesign or some kind of dedicated app to fix this quickly.

After signing up, I clicked on the deposit at the top of the screen and got a popup with all my payment options. When I selected a payment method, there was a checkbox here to confirm I have read the UKGC-compliant funds protection information. When I ticked the box, this info appeared on the screen, and I had to click ‘accept' to dismiss it.

I initially tried to use Revolut but got an error notification saying 'Due to regulatory restrictions, we are no longer able to accept credit cards/this card. Please try to use another available payment method (such as a debit card) in order to make a deposit'. I switched to my trusty UK Visa Debit bank card, which worked fine.

The deposit box was cramped up, and I had to zoom out to see all the details properly. Checking the details, the next screen allowed me to enter my desired £40 deposit amount and promo code to trigger the welcome offer. After hitting deposit, the screen gave me full details of my deposit and the free games I'd claimed plus a cheeky little ‘ka-ching' sound effect. A minus point was the lack of an email confirmation of my deposit. However, my £40 did instantly display as a real cash balance, so I knew it had been a success.

Making a withdrawal was a more confusing affair as the payment menu is hidden in the deposit screen. I had to click ‘Deposit' then on the small tab on that popup, then click on ‘More Options' for the full list. I'm not sure why they want to hide it away like this; it feels very dishonest.

When making my withdrawal, it stated that ‘We will attempt to process your request within one business day. However, this timeframe can vary due to unforeseen circumstances. Again, I got no confirmation email of my withdrawal attempt. In the end, it took 34 hours to be approved, and a further 2 days to reach my bank account.

Even though I didn't need any help I did go through the FAQs section found on the right-hand side menu. Here there is a very thorough collection of questions and answers which are all well categorised and easy to search through. There is a help chat button

Live chat here is open for just 6 hours a day in the afternoon/evening time. When I did make an inquiry during those hours, the support assistant answered in just over 2 minutes. They were polite and quickly answered my question about getting some more bonuses so I can't fault them there. It's just the limited hours that really let them down and make it feel like a small-time gaming site.

• Phone: 0808 018 3307
• Email: By filling out a contact form

That said, the FAQs section here is pretty comprehensive and had all the stuff most players would need to know. It was weird to see that under support it said ‘Select the 'Contact' tab at the top of this page, and you can then find the free customer support phone number or alternatively, you can use the contact form if you'd prefer'. So I searched the menu under my ‘Useful Links', and there was a phone number and email. I don't understand why these are not given when the live chat is offline.

As a licensed operator, Hunky Bingo is obliged by law to verify the age and identity of its players. It is an industry-wide standard and a onetime inconvenience, designed to protect your interests.

Under my account menu, there is a ‘My Documents' section. Here, I could submit a maximum of 3 documents at a time, but there was no additional information about what might be required. I hope this detail gets fixed soon - as an experienced player myself, I already knew what to send, but someone else might struggle to know what documents are accepted.

These are what you should have at hand:

• Proof of ID (passport, driving license, ID card)
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, official government letter)
• Proof of Payment Method

Hunky Bingo takes the issue of responsible gambling seriously. They want to make sure that players have fun whilst also playing responsibly.
