Cheggers Bingo

Who Are Cheggers?

Keith Chegwin is the erstwhile TV personality who has cropped up to annoy the bejesus out of the nation every few years or so since the early 1980s, who started life as an actor, briefly blighted the pop charts, hosted the laudable ‘Cheggers Plays Pop!’, once married Tomorrow’s World boffin Maggie Philbin before fronting the Big Breakfast and himself naked and currently doing the biz on GMTV each morning. Phew! Recently decided to try his luck at launching an #online bingo# website.

What Is Cheggers?

Just when you thought it was safe to venture back online, and lo and behold we’re confronted with the one-man irritation that is Keith Chegwin, who for reasons best known to himself has relaunched his flagging media career by setting up his very own online bingo presence. Wahay Cheggers as some might say. We shouldn’t mock though as rumour has it that old Cheggers has paid out something in the region of £3.8 million in prize money to players since its launch in 2006. now that’s no laughing matter. Well it is, but you get our drift.

Who’s Behind Cheggers?

Why Keith Chegwin of course. Or at least Keith Chegwin in cahoots with St. Minver Ltd – a leading player in the global online bingo economy responsible for a raft of other sites – who saw the potential of conjoining both Cheggers and virtual bingo to appeal to the masses who cant get enough of the Liverpudlian wit across any other mediums.

Is Cheggers Any Good***

Well, yes and no. Whilst there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Cheggers Bingo on the surface, critics cite that it’s simply St. Minver cashing in on a lucrative market simply be re-jigging existing online bingo platforms around Keith’s brilliance, although the larger than life Chegwin remains CEO of the company that he formed in 2006. Yet on the other hand we think this accusation is a little unfair, and that if you’re really lucky you could get to chat to Cheggers yourself when you’re online. Moreover, should you win big on the site there’s every chance that you could receive your cash windfall from the entertainment icon himself, in the flesh (although hopefully not too much of it exposed) as he’s been known for impromptu doorstep visits to dole out winnings. No imagine that.

Cheggers being Cheggers there’s no prizes for guessing that the site is on the comedic side, and is as colourful and cartoonesque as the one time Noel Edmonds’ fall guy himself. He even enlists the help of Madness singer Suggs to perform the opening credits for the unsuspecting would-be member. The Z-list celebrity-shaped fun doesn’t stop there though, as Cheggers calls the bingo balls and regularly takes to the mike in the chat rooms too. So yes, as per, it’s all about Keith Chegwin. Only the rest of us are in with a very real chance of getting something out of it for once.

There’s also a definite ‘community’ feel to Cheggers Bingo, complete with the usual mix of bingo news, horoscopes and general bingo-lingo chat functionality with all the other members and the useful Chat Masters who are ready, willing and able to help out should you holler. Elsewhere, and the timetable section allows members to keep tabs on when particular bingo games are about to commence, where and what’s exactly at stake in an ‘at-a-glance’ aspect to the informative Cheggers Bingo site.

What Free Bingo Promotions Do Cheggers Offer? ****

Sharing the ethos of other similar St. Minver developed bingo websites, Cheggers Bingo proffers a decent selection of sign-up promotions and bonus offers, with newcomers receiving a not-to-be-sneezed-at 100 % first bonus if opening their online account with anything less than £125. providing that their follow up deposit isn’t in excess of £65, they’ll again receive a 50% bonus for their loyalty. There’s also the popular £1 free money deal to take advantage of. Come the end of each month mind, and there’s totally free bingo to be had, as for one whole day Cheggers Bingo offers players new and old the opportunity to play for nothing. Nowt. Zilch. Zero. Now for that Chegwin might be forgiven for all his previous charges against public decency. Well maybe we said.

What Current Deals Are On The Table? ****

From the moment you’ve rolled out of bed much earlier than none bed-wetters through to the insomniacal types amongst you, you can play Cheggers Bingo around the clock. A 6am wake up call comes courtesy of the 6am-starting Bingo Blitz, whilst Night Owl Jackpot keeps the momentum up into the wee small hours.

Quickly glancing at the current Cheggers Bingo line-up of promotions and it’s plain to see that there’s something for everyone with bingo on their mind, from the sign-up bonus that gives newbies 10 free bingo games (equivalent of £1 free play) and the 100% Cash Match deposit bonus through to an equally as impressive 50% Cash Match on your second deposit (totaling £65) and an array of loyalty points to be collected just for playing the phalanx of bingo-related games on site.

Last time we looked – which was the last time you took a shower before you start! – we noted the following in no particular order; exclusive £10K Golden Game (check in store for further details as they say), Massive Pots, Penny Bingo Wednesdays, £500 cash giveaways just for yakking away in the chat rooms (well, almost) and some top new side games such as Robin Hood and Chain Reactors to name but two. Just thought we’d mention it in passing.

How Many Bingo Rooms Can You Visit Online With Cheggers? **

The Cheggers Bingo Cafe is the real place to be seen and heard, and with tickets costing from as little as 10 pence you’d think we were on the payroll with our excitable description. Sadly that couldn’t be further from the truth, however we do shout the odds when we’re on to a winner; just like you lot could be by taking a ganders in Bingo Ballroom (tickets from 5p – yeah, that’s FIVE whole pence) and Bingo Lounge (where you have to cough up 25 pence for a spin).

Investiture in the VIP Club acts as an ongoing incentive for regular players, whereby they’re invited and entered into exclusive prize draws, so you just keep on accumulating wealth. Well, if you’re any kop at the whole bingo lark that is. That said, even the casual players never come away empty handed according to the law of averages, given that there’s prizes up for grabs wherever you look. As away from the bingo halls and it’s all about Summer Scratchcard, Cluedo, Vegas Nights, Monopoly, Blackjack, Video Poker and Atlantis Gold and a plethora of other fascinating ways in which to make a reasonable killing. We likey. We likey a lot.

90/75/80 BALL BINGO?

Just 90 ball ’tis afraid. You could pen a strongly worded letter of complaint in between having a barrel of laughs whilst exploring everything else Cheggers Bingo has to offer though if you’re that bothered? Face? Bothered?

WHAT’S THE CATCH? Lack of rooms might be seen by many as a downfall, but when the fun and action comes as thick and as fast as it does within, then who cares.

WILL THEY ACCEPT MY PLASTIC? VISA/MasterCard credit cards and Switch, Solo, and Visa Delta cards, Ukash, Paysafecard, NETeller and Moneybookers and you’ll be just dandy.

IS THE SITE SECURE? Being backed up to the hilt by St. Minver (therefore operated by the Gibraltar-based online bingo service provider for all intents and none commercial purposes) there’s nothing left to chance with regards security.

HOW CAN I CONTACT THEM SHOULD I WANT TO? 24 hour Phone support and email support.
