Volcano Bingo: Not Recommended
Volcano Bingo is not recommended!
Volcano Bingo Casino
Review last updated – June 2019
Volcano Bingo is part of an extensive group of bingo and slots providers running on the Jumpman Gaming Limited platform. It holds dual licenses with the AGCC in Alderney, and the UKGC in the United Kingdom- it uses eCOGRA as its ADR for UK players lodging complaints. Scope Bingo is platform mates with over 84 other bingo and slots sites and full details of all of its sister properties can be found on the UKGC license page for Jumpman Gaming Limited. Volcano Bingo offer a range of games, slots and bingo by: NYX Gaming, Quickspin, Chance Interactive, Foxium, PariPlay, NextGen Gaming, iSoftBet, IWG, Gamery, ELK Studios, Net Entertainment and Microgaming. The Volcano Bingo site design is based on the theme of a volcanic island. The colour palette is browns, oranges and blues. The casino landing page features a volcanic island very near the sea with its volcano in mid eruption – a huge stream of lave propelling high into the air. The volcanic rocks and pumice normally found during such events have been replaced with bingo balls which have been fired out over the island by the power of the eruption. The casino logo is the name in molten letters with the eponymous volcano in the background. Volcano Bingo have no outstanding complaints at any of the major gambling portals.
Volcano Bingo are Not Recommended as a result of their dormancy/inactivity clause which we consider to be predatory. It states that players that have not been active for 180 days will receive an email to that effect and then all funds in their account will be forfeit to the company. Dormancy/Inactivity should never be used an excuse to seize a full balance. Furthermore Volcano Bingo do not exclude Progressive Jackpots from their maximum withdrawal limits - since Progressive Jackpot winnings are paid by the software provider and not the site operator, there is no excuse for withholding full payment from Progressive Jackpot winners. In addition the T&Cs state that players that self-exclude at Volcano Bingo will have their accounts at sister properties closed but no details are given as to what these numerous properties actually are.
As of June 2019 Jumpman Gaming have indicated that they will not cooperate with the management of complaints submitted to this service.

Volcano Bingo Casino only publish the house edge/RTP figures for the slots games that have them already inbuilt into their game files - this is in violation of the terms of their UKGC license which stipulates that the RTP figures must be provided for ALL games offered. Further to this even the RTPs given can only be viewed once a player had opened an account with this operator - not best practice.
This operator offers a VIP system for gathering "Kudos": each £1 bet gathers 1 Kudos and then players can achieve a variety of different levels depending on the size of their deposits.
Full details can be found on the casino website.
The Jumpman Gaming group - a very large range of slots and bingo sites. The welcome bonus offered is somewhat disappointing and by no means guarantees players any sort of prize at all. Of greater concern is the predatory dormancy clause implemented by this group and the fact that they do not exclude progressive jackpot wins from their maximum withdrawals. Suffice to say there are other operators offering more hospitable conditions for players and greater incentives for player loyalty. Add to this a non-cooperative approach to the management of player complaints and there are plenty of reasons that players should avoid signing-up with this group of operators.
