Woolly Bingo Review
Woolly Bingo launched in 2017 and joined the popular Dragonfish Network. It also became another addition to the growing group of brands headed up by Bubble Bonus and that also includes Hippo, Nutty and others. Like it's sister sites, Woolly gives players access to 75 ball, 90 ball and 52 ball bingo games. These are joined by top of the class slots, exciting jackpots and even prize bingo games. Players at these particular suite of sites can also claim extra bonuses with weekly rewards and, in this particular case, The Woolly Wheel!
Introducing Woolly Bingo
When Woolly Bingo launched it featured sheep! However The UKGC decided that cartoon characters weren't allowed so Woolly's sheep barely managed to make an indent in the online bingo world. The site has been revamped and has adopted a wool theme. Yes you read that correctly. Balls of wool can be seen and these represent bingo balls and there's even a house that looks like it's made of wool. To be fair it sounds horrendous but it actually looks quite cool on desktop. Mobile and tablet players may not get the same enjoyment of this design but the site plays well on all devices.
Woolly Bingo Welcome Offer
New players to Woolly Bingo are offered a £20 bingo bonus plus 20 bonus spins on the Fruit Shop slot with a deposit of £10. Wins from the spins are paid out as games bonus. Register, login and deposit £10 to receive the bonus. Note that this is the maximum bonus on offer so depositing more won't increase the amount you receive. Wagering terms apply to both bonuses and these are x4 for bingo and x80 for games. The latter is hefty, but typical for Dragonfish, and players should familiarise themselves with the full details that are on the site.
You can try Woolly Bingo for free and without making a deposit either. Register and login to the site and access the newbies room, The Daily Doozey. This free bingo room should be open for 72 hours after registration for a series of games. Wins from these free games are paid as a bonus and therefore wagering terms apply. Note that the free games are 75 ball which we find unusual. The most popular rooms on the Dragonfish platform are 90 ball but new players aren't given the option to try these with no deposit needed. Depositing players have access to other free games.

Our Verdict
Slots are available to play at Woolly Bingo. The lobby area for slots is greatly improved and this makes accessing new slots, instant wins, jackpot games and scratchcards a lot easier. Top slots include Mega Fortune, Cleopatra, Rainbow Riches, Nightmare On Elm Street, Siberian Storm, Starburst, Dragon's Luck and many more. If you like games such as Slingo then these are available to play at Woolly but you'll need to use the search facility. You can favourite games to make it easier to find them again on subsequent visits. Woolly doesn't have any social media presence.
Woolly Bingo arrived at an awkward time for online bingo. It ran straight into the The UKGC storm and was then offloaded by it's owners. In our view it's never managed to get established. This is a shame because the site does have good bingo games including penny bingo and freebies. We also like the Woolly wheel and the monthly prize game. However it should be noted that these aren't exclusive and can be found on other brands. Take a look just to see the woolly bingo balls.
