At any time of the day or night, you can take a seat at the Bingo Cafe and play one or all of their wide variety of bingo and instant games. Although the website itself lacks the charm of some on-line bingo locations, Bingo Cafe offers more that the usual games and interface as you play, offering a completely 3D avatar experience and the ability to literally put a representation of yourself into the game to walk, talk and play along with hundreds of other bingo lovers.

Games and Software

The bingo games are some of the most advanced on-line, with impressive payouts and bonuses and the atmosphere created by their innovate software and that extra personal touch is much warmer than usual - making it a great place to meet bingo friends and chat while you play.

The software at Bingo Cafe is completely unique as instead of the usual boxed bingo display with the chat screen and cards, they offer an entire 3D bingo world to explore, full of other bingo players to meet in a virtual world! Once you have registered and loaded the software, you can create a 3D avatar of yourself and chat with other avatars as you walk around the bingo world. You can move from different themed tables to play different games of bingo, or head over to the slots area to try and win one of their big jackpots.

To play any of the games at Bingo Cafe UK, you must first download their software and install it onto your computer. A handy guide to downloading and installing can be found on the site, which takes you through each process step by step. Once installed, players can register and create their own avatar to represent them in the world and then play any of their games. Both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo is available at Bingo Cafe UK, as well as a host of other games including video poker, slots and scratch cards. These can all be accessed by walking your avatar to the appropriate area of the 'cafe', or by clicking on the handy tabs on the game screen. There are plenty of games to suit any pocket - from big money games with large jackpots to regular free bingo games. A bingo schedule is available with the 'weeks menu' - handy for keeping track of the next games and to arrange when to meet your new 3D friends.

Although a little daunting at first (the website isn't the most user-friendly), those new to bingo on-line may find Bingo Cafe a good place to check out. An extensive tutorial is available, which guides players through every aspect of the games and site - from registering to how to play the games, with plenty of screenshots and images to ensure you are on the right track. In addition, they also offer an in-depth bingo dictionary (handy for learning the often weird and wonderful bingo chat speak) and lots of hints and tips on how to get the most out of your bingo games.

Bingo Cafe UK does not offer the huge range of glitzy prizes that some of the big-name sites offer, but they do have monthly competitions in which members can win extra bingo bonus points as well as regular high-stakes games with thousands of pounds in jackpots up for grabs. Bingo tournaments run regularly, with 48-hour tournaments, bingo masters and rainbow connection games available. If you prefer slots, they also run exclusive slot tournaments with big cash prizes. Mega Bingo games (games linked to other bingo site for big prizes and plenty of competition) are also available.

Communicate

Because of the unique avatar element of Bingo Cafe UK, the place is buzzing with people that want to interact and chat at any time of the day or night. The cafe provides a great place to chat to new people and play games with them as if they are sat there with you, although the website does not offer the community features you would expect - but a photo gallery is promised soon. If you like loads of news and info about the players, winners and chat moderators then you will be disappointed, although a regular newsletter keeps players up to date on all the latest jackpots, games and even welcomes new players.

Contacting the customer support team at Bingo Cafe UK couldn't be simpler - they offer a live chat feature where you can instantly talk to one of their customer support representatives. Although they do not offer a phone line, you can also obtain help at any time by logging into the Bingo Cafe software and talking to one of their chat hostesses.

You Like Bingo cafe...

but want a change of scenery then why not head for Littlewoods Bingo, which has possibly a healthier prize fund, but still the easy to navigate, attractive user interface. Another good one, with a similar laidback online bingo vibe, is Harrys Bingo. Lot's of fun!
