Faye's Bingo and Gambling Links
iBingo -- Download required, PC only, Mac using Virtual PC. iBingo, the longest viable pay for play site on the net, has made yet another revision to the games. The latest version is more than good, offering the same format as one would find in a Bingo Hall. They have audio calls, with many callers to choose from and a new download/install for callers, no problems there. There are almost 200 different games, offer 6 different style and price playing rooms, and a free room. They have regularly scheduled JP's, floating JP's and truly big holiday specials. ibingo has contests, a great chat room integrated into the game board, and many, many options available from the menu bar in the game room. You simply have to go there and explore, there is too much to do in a review. The site is well written, with much information available. Response to queries and requests for help is prompt, almost immediately and with live persons! Yes, I will continue to pay and play at this site!!!!
Tournament Games -- This site has changed so much that it really needs to be included in one's list of VERY fun sites. The development was slow, but sure and steady. It has solitaire games, but not like the kind one plays when bored! They have tournaments, you really have to play there to get caught up in the style of the games. Tournament Games does offer free play, but this is basically a pay site, with games ranging in cost from .01 per tournament to 1.00 per tournament.The cost is so nominal that I have no problem with the pay or the prizes. You must download, but I truly think you will love this site. Another bonus, you will find very little advertising, and none at all on the game page, very welcome, because you simply must concentrate on the game, it's a matter of speed! Found quick response to queries, another plus for any site. Give this one a try, and let me know if you are as enthusiastic as I.
E-vegas.com -- E-Vegas has really grown and expanded, offering several new games with the chance of good prizes. This site shows a lot of thought and hard work, and the newsletter has loads of information for those interested in Las Vegas and environs.
Gamesville aka Bingo Zone -- All free -- fast games, and they always pay, even $.36. The Zone now has almost 13 million players, great odds for the house! They are offering several new games, 10 in all, and they are still playing the $100.00 CatchUp Coverall, with upwards of 1000 players in each game, tho I could not get in to play, the screen kept taking me back to the Bugle. OK if you like lots of competition, but a good site.
Bingo on Line -- The site has been updated, well worth a visit. You will find a chat site, and some fun games and "stuff" to do. The Bingo Balls Club will be starting up again, and prizes offered.
Cyber Bingo -- Cyberbingo has come up with some changes. They now offer autodaub, altho I found the number appears on the board before it hits the end of the chute. You can purchase from one card, at $0.25 up to 12 cards. I did play the Jackpot game, with payout starting at $1000, if covered in 50 numbers. There were 36 players. I played one card, and this is how the calls went, at 21 calls I had one number covered, at 30 calls - 4 covered, 40 numbers - 9 covered, 45 numbers - 11 covered. The Jackpot decreased to $750 at 51 numbers and decreased each number. At 59 numbers the JP is $100.00, at 60 it is $50.00, and $25.00 thereafter, less than a regular game. The game went on the 64th number and was split two ways. The game menu offers options, not many. Calls are fast, approximately 6 seconds between calls. The wait between games is approximately 5 minutes. On regular games the payout is determined by the number of players in the game. They offer specials, you have to go to site to see them all. I don't like the odds. Your choice.
I Win Com -- This is a free site, simple log in. The prizes are very nice, not just a bunch of junk tossed at the players. The prizes are in the form of a raffle, you play, win credits called icions and use them to enter the raffles for various prizes. The game is played one alone, against a set amount of numbers drawn. Every 5 numbers covered gives player 1 point, and a bingo is 5 points. Unless you close out and go back in, you will use the same card all the time no variance. All in all for a free site, with no interaction, it's not bad!
Bingo Com is a fun site. The part we like best is the Slots, especially Sizzlin 7's. Tournaments held on Tuesdays, time on site. One wins Bingo Bucks, which can be used to redeem gifts, or even Cash. They also have bingo and poker, and Chat is very good, pleasant crowd.
Bingo Canada -- There have been many changes here since original review. This site now has two different themes, and good chat. Great home page, detailed information, check all the pages. The games are good, free, and one garners prize points to exchange for gifts. A good way to pass time!
Simshots Com -- is sponsored by pay for play casinos, but this site is free. You can win points, exchange them on a 100 to 1 basis, and enter draw for cash prizes. No chat, but very realistic, and it didn't seem to freeze or cause problems. Several slots to chose from, the 5 and up group don't offer the points for exchange.
Igames Multimedia Player -- This is a really neat place to play. Several interactive board games, and nice chat. Member profiles available and you can choose your game room.
Virtual Vegas -- Slots and other games available, free, however this site eats memory for breakfast, so watch time played.
Uproar Games -- This site offers several games, including bingo. They have prizes, and other interesting goodies. Really need to investigate to discover all that is offered.
Betnet -- This is a fun site, with running chat during games. Chance to win $$$ here, be sure and play FlashCash, highest points per week wins $200.00. Players helpful to newbies.
Network gaming -- Download required, easy. This is a fun site, at present still in beta testing. They do offer prizes for weekly points accrued. They also give 5 $100.00 gift certificates out to random players each week. Yes they do! I got one, to be spent in their "prize mall" and there are some nice selections. The chat room is fun, the group in there are all great folks, cheering one another on. Changes expected as they work out "the bugs".
Bingoonline com -- This site works best with IE. Sign in, get cards. Weekly tournaments, earning Bingobucks, which can be used for software, hardware, etc.
Excite Classic Games -- They offer a number of games, all free. There are two bingo games, EZWIN and Jackpot. Cash prizes at both games, with running chat and helpful players. Be sure and check out the choice of tables, and I suggest you stay away from the Uncensored table unless you want your ears fried. Other good games offered as well. However, I would recommend extreme caution at this site. They have some internal bugs to work out. The site crashed my computer, closed it, with restart and scan disk, etc. I am not the only player with crash problems.
Gamehub --Site has many fun games, win cash and prizes. Good homepage, with helpful information. NO download. Prize Point Store is available to spend Chance Points. They have chat, but they also have pop up ads. I won a $112.00 shopping spree while updating this review. However! it leads to a page where one must register which would then trigger more e-mails. You don't really get anything, and they ask for an optional referral. Play the games, ignore the ads.
Absolute bingo -- The current page says that they were going live on May 5th, however on May 23 they were not up and running. Looks as tho it is going to be pay for play, but then who knows?
Draw Bingo -- requires download, many changes. Did not check it out for I do not want to download the site, so I cannot give a fair review. Looks iffy!
Bingotops -- This is now a paysite, requires download, and you know how I feel about downloading! Graphics and information on the home page are not particularly appealing or helpful. Your choice here.
Virtual Funhouse -- I have tried to access the site on many occasions over a two month period. The only message I'm getting is that there is no response from the server. Sad, this was fun site and nice chatters.
8 DrawBingo -- I will not even give an address for this site. I paid, I played, I lost. Great way to lose money and support the site. They draw only 8 balls, now you figure the odds
Majority Rules -- This is just for fun, go check it out!
You will note that I do not include any of the zillion or so casinos now online. I have gone in and played at several, paying to play, in order to be able to make a report of some kind, and I can only say that they sure can take your money in a hurry. If you are loaded with cash, you'll probably be playing at live casinos anyway!
I have been to several, nay, many sites who write to me and request to link. One of them turned out to be associated with a future promo for a major communication company. Another touted many games, with $35.00 access fee. Still others were just plain cons, and some were awful, in the strictest sense of the word. One new bingo game, must download, took 18 minutes to play a simple game. If you find any, let me know and I will go aroaming and check them out.
NOTE TO PLAYERS........All of you who have Credit Cards, whether you use them online or as plastic in stores, note that there is a new scam on the move. Some credit card companies will give you a free gift, i.e. a free Travel "Thingie", (can't use names). If you don't call on this, you will eventually find that you have a charge on your account, and you did NOT authorize or order this item. Call the co, they tell you to call the number listed by the charge. The XYZ Co will credit back, however they offer to keep the "membership" open for another six months, at the end of which time you will again find yourself being charged on a monthly membership you thought you dealt with in the first place!
Our answer to this has to been call, tell them to eliminate us competely from the data base, and tell them that if any further charges appear, we will go to States Atty General, and the Feds too. Basically, check all your statements, and deal with any charges immediately. We were also charged US$114.00 for a call to a foreign porn site! Took three calls to AT& T to get this charge removed, with AT&T insisting that a page disclaimer comes up telling pc user that the site is dialing to another number. Not true! Small windows pop up at some sites, and keep popping up, one can't eliminate them fast enough. We DID NOT visit porn site, this arose from an unsolicited e mail, which had a link to news, we just didn't know what kind of news! Any porn mail, send it to abuse at your local ISP! Get that address and use it!
