Lucky Rainbow Bingo Review

Rainbows are destined to be forever associated with all things lucky and Irish. The Lucky Rainbow Bingo logo depicts a star-studded rainbow leading to a number 7 bingo ball and the homepage featured image, shows an Irish leprechaun with a ginger beard, juggling a series of bingo balls. So far, so cliched, but that's how it goes in the world of online gaming. Aside from the striking logo, the first thing to catch your attention is the spinning wheel. The moment you spot it, you’ll know exactly who runs this site, or at least you will if you've seen any of Jumpman Gaming’s other bingo sites, all of which have this same feature.

The premise behind the wheel – or the Lucky Wheel as it’s branded here – is simple: after making a first deposit, spin the wheel to find out how much bonus cash you have won. This could be £5 or, if you are extremely lucky, it could be as much as £2,500. Although bingo accounts for the bulk of the action on this site, you can also play a selection of slots and mini games.

About Lucky Rainbow Bingo

Lucky Rainbow Bingo was established in 2014, which also appears to be the last time the site was updated. That’s perhaps an exaggeration actually, but the site certainly feels like it’s been gathering some dust over the last few years. Nevertheless, it is a reasonably attractive and functional site, one that is designed to work as well on mobile as it does on desktop. Apparently the site was rated the best bingo site of 2014 by Two Big Ladies. It was also voted the best new bingo site of 2015 at the Bingo Port Awards. Competition has heated up since then and it seems safe to assume that Lucky Rainbow Bingo won't be picking up any more awards in the near future.

The bingo software that powers the site has been developed in-house by Jumpman Gaming. The company themselves are licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. They also hold a gaming licence issued by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission which enables them to market their services at British players. If you need to get hold of customer service while using this site you can do so by dropping them an email, or by calling the UK phone number that is provided. There is also an FAQ that covers most common queries.

Lucky Rainbow Banking

Because Lucky Rainbow Bingo is operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited, the only deposit options available to you are credit and debit card. Choose from Visa Debit, Visa Credit, Visa Electron, Maestro, MasterCard or Solo. It may seem strange that they are not other deposit options available, but this is simply how the operators of this site like to work things.

The minimum deposit amount is £5 on the first occasion and £10 thereafter. As for withdrawals, the minimum withdrawal amount is £30 and withdrawal request type 48 hours to be processed. After this it can apparently take anywhere between 7 and 14 days for funds to show up on your card. It seems odd that it should take this long for funds to clear, but that's just how it is when you're playing at Jumpman Gaming sites.

Big Bonuses?

When you sign up at Lucky Rainbow Bingo and deposit £10 you will be given an additional £20 to play with. At the same time, you will get a chance to spin the Lucky Wheel which will give you the prospect of winning anywhere from £5 to £2,500. It is unclear whether a random number generator controls the wheel or exactly how it operates, but it's even safe to assume that you're more likely to win £5 than you are £2,500.

When it comes to promotions, the site’s operators like to keep things safe and predictable. That means you have a promo called Monday Madness in which the value of the one-line and full house prizes is reversed in the Lucky Stars room between 4pm and 7pm. There is also a weekend promotion in which there is £300 available in bonus funds. This is named Weekend Wad. On Friday nights, there is £50 in takeaway vouchers to be won in the Friday Night Takeaway game. Lucky Rainbow Bingo also operates a VIP scheme which has various tiers of membership. The higher you rise, the more you can expect to earn in cashback, redeposit bonuses, birthday bonuses and free bingo games.

Bingo Guides

90 and 75-ball bingo are the two types of games you can play on the site. Complete playing guides for both of these are available on the site. There isn’t a whole lot to learn to be honest; if you’ve played bingo before, either in a bingo hall or online, you’ll already know exactly what to expect. For the record, in the 90-ball game, cards are made up of a 3 by 9 grid. Players aim to complete one line, two lines or three lines, which is known as full house, in the fastest time possible.

In the 75-ball game, the grid measures 5 by 5 and has a blank square in the centre. You can purchase multiple tickets for a single bingo game to improve your chances of winning. These cost anywhere from 1p upwards with the average being somewhere between 5p and 10p. The value of the prizes on offer varies greatly, ranging from a few pounds to several hundred or even several thousand. Big jackpot games are hosted once a month or so on the site.

Try Sugar Train

Lucky Rainbow Bingo has a small but reasonable selection of video slots. Well, perhaps not reasonable, but certainly enough options to pass the time while you're waiting for your bingo games to start. Try the likes of Sugar Train, Fluffy Favourites, Irish Luck and Bejeweled.

Lucky Rainbow Conclusion

Lucky Rainbow Bingo is another generic site from Jumpman Gaming. That's not to say it’s a bad site, merely that it offers nothing that you haven't seen before. When it was founded in 2014, it was probably a genuinely fresh and exciting site. Today however Lucky Rainbow Bingo looks more than a little jaded, not simply on account of the theme but also due to the very limited slots and the absence of casino games.

The casino bonus is so-so and the weekly promotions are pretty uninspiring. The absence of additional deposit options is also disappointing – that’s probably the worst element of the site. On the plus side, at least Lucky Rainbow Bingo works well on mobile and has a pretty logo, for what it’s worth.
