I have to agree with Maple on this one. It seems that there are winners but it's just like the lottery. They happen often in small amounts. Casino's are SO much like this as you see a 97% payout then end up with zero at the end...it's a small math game until you jackpot and break even.

I play at both bingos and casinos and people do win. If you play for real money again make sure you always read the T&C for bonuses and cashouts. A lot of sites that appear to present the best alue are often not in reality.

I agree fully chat is for fun not for disturbance.If you have a complaint I think there needs to be somebody besides the bingo site to complain to lot of complaints just get trashed caned a link to a good bingo complaint forum on each bingo site would take care of that though.

(dominique)Well, you'd lose me as player there because I like to play but I don't like to participate in chat.
Who said anything about participating in chat just minimize play on.Your telling me you would play at one of these other sites rather to play at one like I just set out in the above post simply because you was put in chat and you would not even have to chat.
Just a oberservation here I have noticed that everytime a idea or change that would make it better for the average player is put forth someone industry related always picks it apart is this by chance or design. lol

If I ran a bingo site my first point of order would be to keep the customers happy and answer each and every question they had myself.First thing I would do is do away with prebuys because prebuys gives a preception of house players and most of us strongly believe that prebuys are used to hide house players and bots.
The second thing I would do is have my site set up to when you logged on you came straight to chat and there would be no out of chat players because out of chat players also gives a preception of house players and bots.
The third thing I would do is have my software set up to where every player in in chat and the number of cards each player is playing for every game.I would also post a 24 hour winners list evry 24 hours so players could see who is winning.
The fourth thing I would not honor a cashout till deposits cleared after that you could cash out any time.No playthru rules and if you deposited and decided you didnt like us the money you had left from pl... | | Read Entire Entry |

If you google bingo, you will find alot of scammy bingo sites.
Here is an interesting advocate site http://www.bingocommission.org/ ( I am in no way associated with this site )
There is alot of factors - chat bonuses and tournament bonus points sometimes tilt the odds toward hardcore players. I personally don't like bonuses - though the deposit bonuses should technically help to spread the winnings around.

I just wanted to say that I won a large jackpot at my site (Starlight Bingo) and had no problems in getting the money they were ery prompt in sending it to me. I have to admit I was playing quite a few cards for a couple of days, but it paid off By the way the people in our chat room are all really nice and there is a nice atmosphere. I agree with some of the others, obviously if someone plays more cards than they are more likely to win. Having said that though, sometimes you can have a string of wins playing a small amount of cards too. So I dont think that it can be rigged.

Its according to what you called rigged if your talking about house players yes they are rigged.if your talking about a bingo site having and unfair advantage against players then its rigged.i keep hearing well they cant be house players because they win and they are in chat well house players can be in chat too.so i guess the question is what is rigged.

I suppose there are some exceptions, but it's usually real hard to rig bingo games. The close relationship players build amongst them in the chat community would make it too obvious.

Actually there are quite a few different Bingo softwares, and they are run by many different companies.
Bingos are a lot less likely to cheat - it isn't really feasible.
Most Bingo players like to chat most of all, and they like to make friends and come back to the same place over and over. This makes it ery difficult to cheat since all the circles of friends see all the winners and chat with them. It would be odd even if a bingo place bothered to plant fake winners - the chat buddies would quickly realize none of them ever won, only strangers.
It would also be ery obvious if there were no winners at all.
The greatest protection Bingo players have is that they can all communicate and do so constantly while playing. Anything untoward soon becimes obvious.
The only bad thing I ever came across is that a Bingo place gave a way cruises that were offered by a questionable company - and I don't know that they did this knowingly.

I thought the same till I looked into it more and mostly they are affialate sites. The same bingo game is running but the owner of the site has to do there own promoting from what I know but it is run like one hall. To begin with I thought something was up with it to but I dont see to many of those sites making a big splash anyways

Playing bingo online is my entertainment and I know when I deposit chances are I will not be withdrawing, in fact I’ve made one withdrawal in a year of playing and I deposit quite a bit monthly. But does it matter to me where I play since most likely I wont withdraw, defiantly. I've no doubt I will hit a pot one day and I want to make sure that the site I am playing on doesn’t give me the run around when I do. I know I pay to play but I am comfortable with the site I have chosen and don’t feel ripped off. I have at some but I check them out pretty good and can usually tell right away if it’s a site I want to deposit at or not. I’ve been hunting for forum and found this one which I think is great for players and I don’t need to worry that the site with best referral programs are being mostly promoted.

I was thinking about the replies here. I guess it comes down to this:
If I play 24 cards and you play 2, I'm more likely to win a bingo game. Although each card has the same odds of hitting, the more cards you have the more chances you have to win.
I sometimes chat for a while and wait for a game that I really like then play a bunch of cards rather than a few each game. I seem to win more often and more $ that way.
If you want to try a game that has few players, go to betterbingo.com. There aren't alot of players (the most I've seen is 35) so you have a better shot at winning.
GOOD LUCK!!

Kev, that's not strictly true - yes there are a number of sites that run network games (via branded front ends) but this is no different to all the Poker sites that u see that end up in the same games. However there are in excess of 150 different bingo sites out there owned by independent and different operators (and that's excluding those front ends).

If only one of them were as good as they say they are then why so many different names? Iwould urge caution.

I definately go for the big bonus on the deposits. I have been playing at Amigo this week they have a 300% first time bonus in addition to some great chat games (24 hrs on the games I believe) and bonus bucks offers that are generous they also have some good weekend contests. The payout rules are reasonable in my opinion, no hidden aggendas straight forward and up front. I have been playing on a $50 deposit all week and have kept my balance over $200 with lots of wins on pots usually over $50. The slots are nickels only and they don't just eat your money up, the poker is of more ariety then most and is also not just a money eater. I haven't found anything negative so far at all. The CH's are a blast and of course the roomies are fun to. I definately felt right at home quickly Yup I like this place I believe I found my new home...I'll keep ya posted.. my ID is AMB217616 I get a referral bump on any deposits referrals make which is another cool thing its on all deposit, not just first one. if anyone wants... | | Read Entire Entry |

I see people buying aring amounts of cards - just like people deposit arying amonts of money in casinos.
Probably the majority of players spends something between $1 and $2 a day. They do win - and since the investment isn't ery high the return is usually decent. Just takes longer to hit something.
Then there will be a handful of people spending around $10 a day. You are likely to see them win repeatedly.
And Bingo has it's high rollers too. They are your most frequent winners.
How do you like Ruby? I just started listing them on my site because some people said they liked them.

I have always wondered just how many cards the "winners" have purchased. I sometimes play (ruby bingo) and usually buy no more than 10 cards (.50) sometimes I may purchase 20 cards (1.00) and get the bonus cards. I have never won and I wonder if it's the amount of cards I purchase s. the cards the others get.... I also don't think its rigged because of the community of players - but I have noticed that some people can win two or three times within my time of playing!

It is pretty difficult to rig Bingo.
This is because of the chat - most people do not jump between online Bingos but stay put with their friends and chat a lot while playing. They are a community of friends.
It would be pretty difficult to hide any fake winners there - since everyone is talking to everyone.
Sure, sometimes someone new wins and no one knows them yet. But for the most part, the players know the winners.

From my own personal wins and losses. I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do. I hate to be bitter loser (a tag I have gotten pretty comfortable with, not by choice) however I have wasted so much money at some of the online bingo places (and I have been to almost all of them) and honestly I have enjoyed some of the people and games I have played, but I decided a long time ago (and a few bucks ago) that I was strickly paying for the entertainment alue and I really wonder now if the winners I read about are actual people or are they people the bingo halls invented.. Anyone else wonder anything on this thought? or did I just wake up? (ok... I just woke up, but its hard to look the broke face in the mirror) any thoughts?
