Foxy Bingo is a safe bet
By David Newstead
Foxy Bingo is sister hall to the popular Getminted bingo site, and it is a site that unabashedly appeals to sisters everywhere. There is a bias towards the fairer sex here that Foxy Bingo makes no attempt at all to hide. And really, why should they? After all, the majority of gaming sites on the Internet are clearly geared towards men, so it's kind of refreshing to see a site dedicated to chat on topics from diets to reality TV. As part of the thriving GlobalCom online bingo community, Foxy Bingo is a solid bet as far as security is concerned. There are also instant win games available as well as team bingo to spice things up, and newcomers receive a 2 pound credit.
One of the unique things about Foxy bingo is that it's not just a bingo site, it's a bingo site and a magazine combined as one. The home page of the site is well designed, with an attractive pink, purple and cerise colour theme. On the left-hand side of the screen, you'll see a link called "the Fun House", where you can check up on your daily horoscopes (provided by astrologer Russell Grant), view the profiles of other players on the site as well as the chat managers, and even tap into some great previews regarding your favourite TV soap operas.
The rest of the welcome screen is taken up with boasting about the exceptional bonuses on offer for players opening an account for the first time. And as far as we're concerned, the boasting is well merited. After all, a 100% bonus on a first deposit up to a maximum of 150 pounds is equal to any of the other welcome bonus as we have come across when reviewing online bingo halls.
It's easy to open accounts on the Foxy Bingo site, involving just three steps. First, you register your details, then you make your first deposit, and then you start to play! Games on tap at Foxy Bingo are all of the wonderful "BINGO pattern" approach. This means that in order to win you have to get numbers that form a pattern (such as a pyramid or the letter C) on your ticket. If you're used to playing the typical line or full house approach, this makes for a wonderful change. The pattern changes from game to game, depending on which pattern the caller draws. A player is allowed to buy up to 24 tickets in any given game, and with ticket minimums as low as 10 pence each, playing 24 tickets at a time certainly won't eliminate your bankroll. If you're worried about playing all those tickets manually, fear not, for the site has an efficient auto daubing feature.
There is not a lot of background music or game sound effects on this site, but the voice of the bingo caller (incidentally, a female) is cheerful and clear. The game itself is not downgraded any due to the lack of effects.
When it comes to any online bingo site, and one would naturally assume a site that caters to females, chat rooms are an absolutely essential feature. The chat rooms at Foxy Bingo are wonderfully lively and friendly, and it is a truly welcome experience to be able to view the profile of the people you are playing with and talking to. The chat managers themselves are enthusiastic and helpful and always seem to be ready to hand out portions of lucky dust.
The site also includes several good minigames as well as the usual slot machines and a couple of more innovative ones such as the high low lottery type game. It's nice that these addictive games can be played for free as well as for real money.
We realize that we've hardly come up with any criticisms of the experience we had at Foxy Bingo, but the site is so cheery and entertaining it was hard to say anything bad about it. In fact, will be putting it this site in our list of favourites and keeping it there for a long time to come.
