Mecca Bingo Review

Mecca Bingo Overview

Through the introduction of their iconic bingo halls, Mecca Bingo revolutionised bingo back in the early 1960s (see A Brief History of Bingo) and have gone from strength to strength ever since. Whereas as most online bingo sites were still scrambling for a mobile solution as late as 2012, Mecca had already been offering their players bingo-on-the-go for years. It's this forward thinking at Mecca Bingo that makes their product shine. They get online, they get mobile and they get land-based bingo. It's a powerful combination.

Site Design

Mecca Bingo have opted for a muted pink for the primary colour of their site, offset by yellows and blues. A lot of bingo sites go down the pink route, but only one operator stands out in my view because of it's huge brand presence and that is Mecca. The back-end is run by software favourite Virtue Fusion which is the market leader in bingo software for good reason. Signing up to Mecca Bingo was an abosolute doddle, which you'd expect from such a well-known brand.

Bonuses

Mecca Bingo offer a 100% sign up bonus for new players, which seems to have been their policy since time began. It's a bit disappointing the bonus is so low, but I guess when everyone knows you offer a 1st class service there isn't a great need to entice players with big offers. Which is why it is with great excitement that I can announce an exclusive deal for all Bingo News readers. If you sign up with Mecca Bingo via a Mecca link on Bingo News then you will be entitled to a 300% bonus as a new player. You won't see this anywhere else on the web!

Games and Jackpots

The games on Mecca Bingo consist of the tried-and-tested stable of games offered on all Virtue Fusion platforms, with 90 ball, 80 ball and 75 ball bingo all catered for. Mecca also offer unique games such as Britain's Got Talent that you won't see anywhere else. The crown in their jewel, however, is their exclusive tie-up with The X-Factor which remains a player favourite. The jackpots are huge on Mecca Bingo as you would expect with the network effect.

Community

Mecca has a reputation amongst it's land-based regulars for fantastic customer service, so I was glad to see that the CMs on Mecca Bingo were just as friendly as their land-based counterparts. Everyone was friendly in all the rooms I visited and you can't really ask for much more than that.

Sammy's Verdict

It's always heartening to see a big brand delivering on its reputation, which is why I'm happy to report that Mecca Bingo is one of the best bingo sites on the web. Through Bingo News they are offering a fantastic 300% bonus and they really know how to look after their customers. With many more people now playing bingo on their mobile phones, Mecca Bingo is the obvious choice because they do mobile (now via their app also) so well. In summary, a fantastic bingo experience across web, mobile and tablet.
