Everyone knows that no funny business is part of our DNA. But not long ago, in one of the many hot discussions here on our blog, some members suggested that newbies seem to win more biggie prizes than regular members.
That got our attention, because we know that our software provider Parlay has the best bingo software out there. However, we got curious, and Shawn, one of our techies who understands things us ordinary folk don’t, ran an interesting report for us. Here are the results:
From March 2007 to Present:
Any funded member with account younger than 30 days won 64%.
Any funded member with account younger than 60 days won 62%
Any funded member with account younger than 90 days won 63%
Any member with account older than 90 days funded in past 3 months 72%
As you can tell, depending whether your definition of “newbie” is 30 days, 60 days, or younger than 90 days, based on our report, it’s fairly close. It seems our regular members have had the higher winning percent of 72%.
Popularity: 23%

Well i tell you what i found fustrating on wednesday was the same person won 5 games in a row and that same roomie won most of that 2 hour special.
Im very happy for that person but it gets fastrating when u see this, i mean there was over 40 peeps on around that times, it sometimes dont make sense to us roomies when this happen as it seen not normal although it can be normal as one day is always some one elses lucky day.
Im not complaining but sometimes it seems unfair, just a comment plz dont jump on me lol
THATS JUST THE LUCK OF THE CARDS WD MAD X
Wino, I agree hun its just the luck of the cards, I have had days where I just could not believe my luck, rare granted lol, but there have been days when I just couldnt lose.
Finesse, I agree with u hun, it can be frustrating when u see same person winning games in a row, but as Wino says, it just the luck of the cards hun. However, u will always get peeps that max out on the specials like the fixed pots etc, and that does tend to give them a bit of an advantage, doesnt seem fair I know but thats their perogative and if they can afford to do so then so be it, we poorer peeps just have to grin and bear it hun lol
Personally, I dont see the point in maxing out coz it just takes all the enjoyment of the game out of the equation, well it does for me anyway, I would rather buy just the 1 or 2 that I do and feel that I am competing fairly with my roomies to be honest, also I dont end up with a massive credit card bill which is always a bonus in my eyes lol. Also, think of it this way, when u win after buying just the 1 tik, the win is always the sweeter for knowing that u didnt spend a fortune to get ur win !
Good luck hun, hope u win real big soon

OK NOT SURE WHERE TO POST THIS SO WILLL PUT HERE LOL
CASHOUTS….
WHEN SOMEONE MAKES A CASHOUT AND IT IS APPROVED USUALLY THE MEMBER WOULD EXPECT THE CASHOUT TO BE PROCESSED THAT DAY, SADLY SOMETIMES THIS ISNT THE CASE DUE TO TECHNIACAL PROBLEMS, SO THERE FOR OUR CASHOUTS SIT IN LIMBO TILL THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES ARE RESOLVED. SOME PEEPS RELIE ON THAT CASHOUT TO HIT THEIR NETELLER ACCOUNTS SO THEY CAN RE - FUND. WHEN TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE HAPPENING ISNT IT SIMPLY EASIER TO DECLINE THE CASHOUT OR LEAVE THE MONEY SITTING IN THE CASHOUT AREA UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU CAN PROCESS THE MONIES?
ALSO………
WHEN WE CASHOUT CAN IT BE DONE SO THAT WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO DEPOSIT IF WE WANT TOO EVEN IF THE CASHOUT IS SITTING THERE, I KNOW I HAVE FOUND IT ANNOYING BEFORE WAITING FOR A CASHOUT TO GO THROUGH AND USUALLY ITS ON THE 150% DAYS THAT I FIND THE CASHOUT STILL SITTING THERE, SO THEREFORE WE MISS OUT ON THE SPECIAL BONUS AND ON THE BBS WE HAVE LOST DUE TO THE CASHOUT.
ALSO……LOL
THE BBS WE LOSE ON A CASHOUT (SOMETIMES QUITE A LOT) CAN THESE NOT BE GIVEN TO THE CHARITY FUND AS A DONATION? THAT WAY WE WOULD FEEL WE WAS DOING OUR BIT,EVEN IF IT IS A LITTLE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SORRY TO HAVE WAFFLED LOL

Hi All,
On the US site you get the option to re-deposit and get 50% bonus on it. Also, on Bonus Days, there is no minimum deposit for the 150% bonus.
Any chance for us Stu?
Good luck all

OMG yer it has got some swearing in it but it so very very funny and Im sure even the naivest of peeps will find it funny, but to anyone out there who cant bear to hear any bad words………………. DONT WATCH THIS VIDEO !
ok - I gonna have me say ( ohh nooooooo!! rofl ) - I think here is the fairest site i ever played on . Yes u see same names win some days/nites but maybe they having lucky day or as grumps said some max out every game . We all get frustrated at that but hey we all pay and play- how much we choose to spend is our individual choice. I have had days where I have won and won - I rarely buy more than four cards and like grumps says they are the best wins esp the one card wonders lol. I learnt the hard way a long time ago that maxing dont pay , sometimes those same names may just be trying to make up on the games they lost. At the end of the day , we all notice when a player wins more than a few in an hour or in a row - but we dont see all the games they have lost( does that make sense?lol) Anyway you can all give a huge sigh of relief - here endeth me lesson . Dot Cotton . Bless you all btw. lmao
stu, hope you laughed at the u-tube thing.
grumps have you got my kit-kat with gravy yet??? lol

ONCE AGAIN MY POST HAS BEEN IGNORED, AM I INVISIBLE ON ERE OR WOT PEEPS
CAN ANYONE SEE MEEEEEEEEEEEE OR MORE TO THE POINT STU, CAN U SEE MEEEE ???????????
well - here is a classic example- the post was ” who wins more newbies or oldies” surprisingly the post has 3 replies to the topic and many more whinging posts. to you that moan - why do u still play if u so unhappy-y not go to another site who lets u keep ur bbs, processes ur cashout anytime of day/ nite and still lets u earns bbs even after a cashout. no 1 has ignored ur post grumpy but u have 2 admit u very hostile bout a site that gives away far more than most
ERMMMMMMM TRUTHNLIES I THINK U SHOULD GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT FIRST HUN, I AM ONE OF THE FEW THAT ARE NOT HOSTILE TOWARDS THIS SITE AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ANY BLOGS I POST ARE USUALLY IN FAVOUR OF MANIA, I AM ALWAYS POSTIN NICE BLOGS ABOUT MANIA AND I AM ALWAYS SAYING HOW WELL THE SITE TREATS ITS PLAYERS, SO HUNNI BEFORE U GO HAVING A GO AT ME U MAY LIKE TO CHECK OUT ALL MY OTHER BLOGS AND U WILL SEE THAT I AM FAR FROM HOSTILE TOWARDS THIS SITE !!!!!
I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT THIS IS THE BEST ONLINE BINGO SITE AROUND, SO PLEASE CHECK UR FACTS FIRST HUN X
Just like to say that I hardly ever post on here, but i do think it would be a good idea for the bbs to go to charity or something if possible.
As for moaning or being hostile, grumps is the last person you can accuse of that.
I love the site, I do wish I could win more (lol doesn’t everyone??) but hey ho, you take your chances etc.
Anyway thanks all for your kind comments on my health - am getting there slowly, and Orla is wonderful.
Thanks
all
Be lucky xxxx
Hi All!
ohtut@janny: great video … is that what really goes on at the local bingo halls?
*~*Tiggs*~*: thx for your suggestion. I’m going to run your suggestion by Nicole, who’s our payout manager. She knows our payout structure better than anyone else. She can give me a better idea as to what’s possible with our existing structure. I’ll keep you posted.
Grumps: again apology for not responding earlier. I feel as if I’m a full-time blogger now…lol. Who would have guessed? … I really like your ideas on a “suggestion post”. We’re working on this right now and should have it ready by later this afternoon. Thanks! … oh and thanks for the kind words - we love hearing “Mania is the best online bingo site around”
I completely understand that, as customers, you are in control. You could choose to play bingo online over at many different sites in the UK. And I’ll admit, there are several great sites out there.
Although at BingoMania we’re not in a position to dish out life changing jackpots (yet), we put our effort in making sure you receive a fair chance at winning our fun-filled biggie games. During the past few months, many of you have enjoyed:
1) lowered card max limit in Madhouse and Pound room
2) fair-play monthly contests
3) 6 card max sessions in Madhouse
4) removal of pre-purchase to reduce out-of-chat-winners
5) a revamped 2nd chance room concept
6) a dedicated fair & square room
And in the weeks and months to come, we will be introducing new events and specials that will further give you a fair chance at yelling bingo.
Basically, the bottom line is this: We believe everyone deserves a fair chance at yelling bingo! That’s what BingoMania UK is about. With your continued support and feedback, Mania will continue to get better and more enjoyable for all!
Awwwww grumps i must agree with u, you are always in favour of improving games and etc for us all, keep it up, i prefer your moaning lol for the better of mania and all its community. Sometimes it looks like harsh words but i understand where your coming from, always be honest and dont change what u believe in.
FRAGGLE N FINESSE, thank u very much for ur kind words
Luv n hugs Grumps xxxxxxxxx
