NewBingoBilly Complaints: A Reviewer’s Litany



After having tried my hand at the website, I have a lot of NewBingoBilly complaints lined up.  I could talk about how there are too few bingo rooms, for instance, or how they didn’t give out the larger prizes and promos often enough.  But strangely, my greatest quibbles with NewBingoBilly seem to be with its packaging as opposed to its contents. 
 
It may be since it feels cheap.  I’m admittedly not a fan of some sites’ brand of over-the-top “gloriousness”.  A tour round one of their casinos can be enough to put an eye out with the amount of glitz glaring at you. 

Nonetheless, the NewBingoBilly site is worse for having taken the opposite route.  There’s a thin tribute to the original NewBingoBilly style here, but it looks like it could be put together by anyone, as opposed to professional designers working for a major entertainment brand.  It lacks personality. NewBingoBilly is supposed to be bold, brash, and attention-getting.  It should be an expressive shout, whereas this is a sigh.

Even the games suffer from NewBingoBilly complaints.  A number have decent design qualities, but others look like they could use sprucing up.  Some look like they weren’t tested enough before being released – some games have the cards so small, for example, that older and visually-challenged players will be left squinting.  Add to this the less-than-calming, also-not-thrilling music, and the overall impression the user gets is one of a poorly constructed gaming site.  

One feels that one could forgive most of the other shortcomings of NewBingoBilly since they can be fixed as the site becomes more popular over time.  Bingo rooms can be added as more players come on.  Prizes will go up too.  But if the site continues to be this unpleasant to visit in terms of sensory experience, those things will also become unlikely.  That’s why these NewBingoBilly complaints, though they may seem shallow, may in reality foretell where the site is going.
