Bingo Site Reports
Far too often, we see five star recommendations and very little is said to justify or explain how they reached their conclusion. As members of the industry it is quite frustrating to us and as readers, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to you! For these reasons, we decided to come up with a clear, accurate, and easy to understand ratings system to assess and grade the bingo sites we review. On this page (below), we detail our rankings of the elite bingo sites that we cover. Next, we fully explain the grading scale we use and the process we go through in analysing the sites we have reviewed. Finally, we give you a run down and corresponding notes on the other sites we cover that are not amongst the top-tier bingo websites but are more than appropriate places to play.

The 1tg Grading Scale Explained
Before giving you our ratings, it is important that you understand exactly how we assign our marks and draw our conclusions. When reviewing the different bingo sites, we have adopted a traditional schoolhouse system for grading, which runs grades A through F. Our explanation of our grading scale is as follows:
The Marks & Ratings
Our Weighting of Category Grades in assigning a “Final Grade”
We assess bingo sites over eight main categories. However, each category is weighted differently in determining a bingo site’s overall grade. In addition, each category may have a subcategory rating (for example, we look at bingo games, slots games and casino games that each site offer. A site may receive a B in their bingo games offerings, yet they get an A in slots games). All subcategory information is used to determine a site’s overall categorical grading. This is all explained in the appropriate category section.
Our system for providing overall bingo site rankings are as follows (for more detailed information on the various categories for which we rate bingo sites, please visit the appropriate topical ratings page):
The sum of all grades will be used in determining the bingo site’s overall ranking and a final overall grade will be assigned accordingly. We may change, adjust, or tweak our grading scale as we see the need to do so. If we make such adjustments, we will always provide notice and justification of such changes on this page.

Bingo Sites We Cover who do not “Make the Grade”
Sometimes, we have to get stern in our ratings and grades. Like any good evaluator or schoolteacher though, our poor grade is not intending to be “cross”. It is a learning process and if players vote with their money and only play at highly regarded sites, those who are lagging will either get the message and step up to do more for the player. Alternatively, they will fail and cease operations. One such site is iBingo. We rate iBingo a D- because it is not quite a “scam” but their site as a whole loads slow. Additionally, whilst the site’s theme seemingly revolves around playing bingo on the iPhone, it is all but impossible to do so from said mobile device. You can read more about how we justify the D- rating on our iBingo assessment and you can additionally find out where we suggest playing iPhone bingo.
One site, however, that we will come out and call a scam is Mira Bingo. This site has cheated players by keeping their winnings and should be avoided along with our other list of scam bingo sites to avoid.
We have also dropped two bingo sites to failing marks due to a recent “sale”. Bingo3x and Sparkling Bingo have recently sold their souls. Both of these Dragonfish sites offered a somewhat attractive bonus and all of the standard network promotions that come with being on their network. We placed trust in the ownership group. However, with their recent sale (15 April 2016 to parties unknown), we simply do not know enough about the character of the buying group. Thus, we have determined until clarity is provided and until we are comfortable with what we find, these two sites fail to “make the grade” and should be avoided.
