One of the things that has long been an issue at BingoMania UK is the BBs that are awarded in chat. As you all know, BBs are supposed to be a reward from us, to you, to help make chat a brighter, more fun place to be. They are not supposed to be a way for players to delay depositing as long as possible. We had already been trying to find a fairer way to distribute chat BBs, but the change to a common platform has provided us with a solution which is fair to all.

Before you all start thinking this is a bad change, this is will also allow you to do something you have never been able to do in the past: keep some, or all, of your bonus and still withdraw (see below).

Firstly, chat BBs will now look slightly different. The silvery BB is being replaced by the shiny new golden BP, which is worth the same amount (1BP = £1BB) but prettier.

Secondly, chat BPs will be awarded in a much fairer way. We don’t really think it’s fair that someone with 1 card gets the same amount of BPs as someone with 6 cards. After all, the more you put in, the more you should be able to get out. So the way it will work is like this:

• If you have 5 or more cards you will get 100% of the Chat Game BP award
• If you have 4 cards you will get 90% of the Chat Game BP award
• If you have 3 cards you will get 80% of the Chat Game BP award
• If you have 2 cards you will get 70% of the Chat Game BP award
• If you have 1 card you will get 60% of the Chat Game BP award

The third change is that to be eligible for chat BPs you will need to have made a deposit in the past 14 days. For the vast majority of players this change will have not any effect at all, as most of you deposit at least twice a month anyway. Chat BPs are also subject to a maximum of 30 per day.

Our minimum withdrawal amount will go up very slightly from £20 to £30. This will help to keep down the costs involved in processing withdrawals and leave more funds for greater bonuses. The really good news is that if you have deposited £100 or more on BingoMania UK since you first joined the site, you will be able to keep some (or all) of your bonus and still make a withdrawal. You can protect your bonus by leaving the same amount of cash in your account as you have in bonus. As an example:

Let’s say that you have £45 of bonus and £150 cash in your account.

• If you withdraw £105 and leave £45 cash in your account, you can keep the whole £45 bonus.
• If you withdraw £125 and leave £25 cash in your account, you can keep £25 bonus.
• If you withdraw £150 you will lose your entire bonus, just as you do now.

In summary then, a change to a fairer way of awarding chat game bonuses and being able to protect your bonus when you withdraw.

   OK a question or two again !!!
   (and thanks for the last reply)
   Will it be automatic for the decline in the rate of bbs - for example i but 3 tickets, win cg does (eg) wom then ask how many ticks, or see automatically or does hte computer system know this and it is done automatically?
   Are you still doing £2.00 for pound room - if so how does it work in there as I am pretty sure nobody buys 5 or 6 tickets in there every game?
   Will the payments for each room remain the same?

   Although some things have altered, up to now it is not as horrendous as many were thinking it would be.

   Ready for next instructions lol.

   p.s.it has been a good idea to do this bit by bit, gives you time to read,re-read and absorb. xxx

   Fraggle: The system automatically awards the correct amount, or none at all if you have no tickets :). I don’t have the answer to your other questions at the moment but I will post again as soon as I can find out.

   Agreed Janny - it doesnt seem so bad, also to have it in bit parts has made it easier for wee granny to understand.

   In a strange way I will be sad to see the end of the Bingomania that I have grown to love - but am looking forward to the New Mania. As himself would say positive thinking.

   Will be back tomorrow for next instalment

   mwahhhhh

   if you have to buy 5 cards min in the pound room, no-one will probably play in there, as they will have to spend 5 pounds to get 2bbs.

   putting these rules in the other rooms is a good idea but to be honest i think it will not work in the pound room
