bye bye little rustyAnd a major thanky-poos to all of you for keeping the faith while we gave Little Rusty the send-off he deserves. He’s now tucked up cosily in the flower beds, next to the nasturtiums and good old Pebbles. (The hamster.) Just kidding, his off to enjoy his retirement plans.

Little Rusty’s final act was to hold strong for his successor, Mojo. (*Sobs*) It was one of the gutsiest things I ever saw.

Anyway, Mojo is here for good now. And it’s the start of a bright and bouncy and probably slightly lunatic new era. Mojo is rugged, powerful and handsome with a washboard tummy that comes fully loaded with a spanking new version of BingoMania.com. He’s the Antonio Banderas of bingo servers : =)

What’s New:
So what does this mean for our loyal customers (that’s you, BTW)?

  • Greater stability
  • New and better bingo version (check out what’s new here)
  • New room logos and bingo room skins
  • New game lobby with easier navigation
  • Improved website navigation

Say hello to Mojo and try out the new, improved, washes-even-whiter BingoMania.com community.

To see a list of all the latest goodies, visit our “what’s new” page.

please note - if you’re still having trouble accessing the new bingomania.com home page, please see some of the tips included in the comment box below or call us toll-free: 1-877-77-BINGO (24646) for more help.

    Hi Tanya and Carol!

    If you’re still having trouble accessing the new home page, try this link:

    http://77.66.37.244/paas/bmn/home.action

    Also, please note if you receive a “page cannot be displayed” error message or our temporary splash page when accessing bingomania.com, don’t worry - all this means that your ISP hasn’t yet registered MOJO’s new DNS address. It might take a few minutes (or in some cases a few hours) If you do continue having problems accessing bingomania.com, please let us know.

    Shawn has the following suggestion for anyone still having trouble accessing the new bingomania.com home page:

    His tip: “flush your DNS” and here’s how:

    1) Click on the start button
    2) Click on Run
    3) In the window that pops up, type in “cmd” without the quotes
    4) In the command window type “ipconfig /flushdns” without the quotes
    5) Restart your browser and try visiting http://wwww.bingomania.com again

    Good luck!

    PLEASE NOTE - the temporary link I had provided you earlier (http://77.66.37.244/paas/bmn/home.action ) might not give you complete access to our games.

    The new home page does not fit in the window. The left side is cut off unless I change my settings to 1024×768. My eye sight is not very good so I can not use this setting. While playing a game I also had a problem viewing the called numbers at the top of the screen. Is there a way to either eliminate or reduce the chat box?

    Dont think mania really knows red.. Think what they’ve been saying is they hope it will be up today.. But its out of their hands i think cause its not mania causing the problem.. All of us who use cc for funding just have to be patient.. I know its hard but i’m sure we well have the cc option back soon.

    Once again ty so much mania for this great new site. Love u all

    olga Said @ 11:07 am on January 15th, 2008

    Hi all,

    Please note: using http://77.66.37.244/paas/bmn/home.action does not give access to our games!! Mojo’s friend, JJ the game server absolutely refuses to load games unless “bingomania” asks him to - any other URL simply won’t do…

    Only going directly to www.bingomania.com will allow the games to load.. The reason why some of you may still be having trouble accessing it, is because it takes some time for your local DNS servers to realize that we’ve moved. The only thing you can do is wait OR if you’re really hankering for some Bingo, you can “trick” your computer like so:

    1) Open up the file c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts in notepad.

    2) Insert the following lines to the end of the file:

    77.66.37.244 www.bingomania.com

    77.66.37.244 bingomania.com

    3) Save the file. You can now access the site using the above domain.

    Happy Bingoing!

    Olga

    Good Morning All!

    Note to All of our members who are still having trouble accessing the games: although the problems are not related to bingomania.com but from your ISP’s side, please follow Olga’s suggestion on comment #49.

    [Funding Questions Regards CC] As you know we’re working really hard to have our CC option available to you. Unfortunately, we cannot promise the exact time it will be available. But you can rest assure you will find out the second it becomes available via the blog, chat room and email.

    For the time being, please take advantage of eWallet payment option.

    olga Said @ 11:42 am on January 15th, 2008

    Awe I’m sorry appleby, I tried… If this didn’t work for you then you will be able to access the site only when your local DNS server recognizes the change… I guess it’s a lazy one =p

    When we moved our UK site, the last possible time anyone had trouble with it was roughly 20 hours after the move - so that means today around 5PM you should be good to go.

    Well I too submitted two help tickets - I can see they are closed but who knows what they say, as I cannot read anything on the left side - it is all cut off. I even asked in the last ticket if someone could email me with the info I need to fix this problem. Then GM told me to call. No one answered and I received nothing but ring ring ring LOL !! Cant fund either - guess you know what I am going to do……I know it is all new, but really do think that it should have been tested more thoroughly even if it took several days. Good luck to you all and I hope the glitches get fixed.

    clpatchen Said @ 12:02 am on January 16th, 2008

    Am not sure, think I liked the old site better. Not as impressed as I was at testing time. You took away one of the bingo games I could almost count on winning, the 30 cent cards (blue skies) or something like that? Doesn’t feel as homey or welcoming as other site. Sorry. I also feel that E-Wallet is a rip-off. Why do they think they deserve to get 10% of our winnings!

    Bomber Said @ 3:12 am on January 16th, 2008

    I would just like to say that the roomies are hard to see now and we cannot make their names larger.Also that Bingo Board is so small I got a headache just straining my eyes to watch for my numbers to be called.The caller in the nickknacks sound just Like Elvis Presley.I love the guy but to come back as a Pig. I don’t think so.Also I miss the Jp,s, the penny room,I think that the colors clash too much in the rooms.And the Buy button is too close to the room button, I boot myself a lot now.

  79. 79
    Bomber Said @ 3:18 am on January 16th, 2008

    Oh, Yes, I wish you would of would of added a Bingo Button,instead of all them crazy ones.And a way to see if a player has not bought cards,by highlighting their name or something.This would be very helpful to the Gm,s.It would also cut down on people chat sitting just to get bb,s.I also think E-wallet is a big rip off, they Know that The US is in a tough bind as far as being able to gamble on line, so they are taking advantage,just to make money on us.It’s pretty Sad when it takes forever to win any kind of money here and then just to get it we have to pay them 10% what a rip-off.

    Kimmers62 Said @ 6:30 am on January 16th, 2008

    Here are the problems as I see them so far. Card highlight doesn’t work on 4 pack pattern, music for some, caller for some, no credit card option, jackpot winners listed aren’t true progressive jackpots won, unless they are splitting them by many people, they look to be amounts over $100.00. One GM said last night they are investigating the jackpots and winners to make sure they are not testers who won. Hmmm makes ya think. Lots of strange names winning bigger pots.

    Been a player here since the start, nearly 10 years, and the new server should have been tested until all bugs were worked out. Last testing session there were still many problems.

    They asked for reports I am giving them one. Love the GM’s here at this site, just not happy with the new site. They have been working on it for months that we know of, and probably longer behind the scenes. I know the old server was no longer working, but bingomania was no where near going live when they did.

    Sorry just telling it like I see it. Don’t kill the messenger. Good luck!

Was told to hit the back button to do that, and what happens? NOTHING I typed before was left in the message box so I get to do it all over again.

    Mary Grace Canepa Said @ 8:40 am on January 16th, 2008

    Hi all you others who are bothering to make comments. I too do not like the new site…. not because it is “different” and I agree that regardless of what we say, they will not change the look of it.

    Having a new server is one thing. Does that mean we have to change the way the actual game looks?

    It is confusing. There are no longer any Penny games ( which were great when down to last few cents as I am right now ) BECAUSE I CAN’T FUND!!!

    I HAVE visited other sites. They are similar to the old venue and guess what? THEY HAVE CC OPTIONS FOR US CITIZENS!!! Why not Bingomania? I still think Bingomania is the absolute best online, but why oh why are we now having to plead with management to make it work the way we, the players wish it to work?

    I will get lots of bad language from others for saying this, but I am frustrated and disappointed! All this time and still the new site is worse than the old one which was worse than the one before it!!!!!!

    PLEASE, GET IT TOGETHER AND AT LEAST change your darn screen to reflect things that matter to the player ie., the call board is teeny… there are too many “bells and whistles” and too many unnecessary things that we don’t need! Go back five years ago. Look at your site! Copy that and if you need, I have a CD you sent me for installation of a download version! My goodness, you all need to either want these comments in order to improve the site or not! We are the ones playing and paying… and I do not believe there are more people who are satisfied than those who are not~ Why now take a vote! I’m confident that THE MAJORITY WILL AGREE THIS NEW SITE MAY WORK a little better technically, but it is not better in it’s design, or application, and definitely needs to have a cc option and easy payouts. Otherwise, tell us to hit the road!

    AS Kimmer said…. “don’t kill the messenger”… this is not Hitler’s Germany it’s America and I have this right to express myself! I HAVE BEEN A MAJOR DEFENDER OF BINGOMANIA FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND FEEL YOU CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER BY US.

    The missing penny room and free room and being able to play slots for free will be missed by many. This is one way for people to check out the various games for free or little money and see if this site is one they want to deposit at.

    Bring them back please!

    Totally ticked off….The home page shows nothing but text with blue url links and the log in area is half way down a huge page since the links all line up on separate lines. I’m using IE6 with all current updates. Installed Firefox, got a few graphics to load at the top, but the rest is identical to the results with IE6.

    I’ve emptied the cache, deleted cookies and shortcuts to the site, rebooted the computer, and nada.

    After logging in with IE6, I can now get the page with the rooms and those graphics show up fine; however, everything else is still text with blue url links and the scrolling down is a pita. When I try to log in with Firefox, it gives me a stupid dialog box asking me what program to use to open the link with (the GO button) as if the browser can’t figure out what it’s supposed to do next, such as open the freaking game index page.

    Last, but not least, any room I click on shows the ‘flash’ popup window that you normally get for each room as before; however, it only turns green and loads about a fourth of the way and stops dead in the water. It will not load at all, even after I’ve walked away for over a half hour waiting for it.

    I’m on a satellite modem, which is pretty close to being as fast as cable or dsl, but nothing is working for me at all….not IE and not Firefox.

    Guess I won’t be around for a while until somebody at Mania’s end figures it out……and a good majority of us during testing of the new site had alot of these same problems before. I can’t believe you launched the server with this software before it was ready.

    the new server seems worst than the old one. More problems than ever. Can’t even get to the bingo site. It says I have an invalid account. Ridiculous! Guess i’ll be looking elsewhere to play.

    luccia11 Said @ 12:18 pm on January 16th, 2008

    I’m sorry but I think it’s appalling that no one from mania can address these issues on the blog, and let us know whats going on. Are they actually going to have cc? I tried another site that uses parlay and they don’t take MC from US. Is it going to be the same here. Rag on me if you want,idc,

    Hard Candy Xmas Said @ 12:48 pm on January 16th, 2008

    Ok I tried to get some bbs to tie me over until the cc option comes back and they said no so I guess my 700.00 plus a month I spend here is not good enough I can’t deposit without cc option and therefore I will not be able to get my loyality bonus so lets see how long they stay up when they lose alot of business I know they don’t care because ther is a sucker born every minute.

    Boy this is a heck of a site can’t make deposits here useing visa it is saying you can but option not available boy and after reading all of these post here and no one responding to them tells me that this is not a site I need to be a part of. It seems as though they do not care about loyal players

  92. 92
    DianeLord Said @ 2:52 pm on January 16th, 2008

    Can somebody answer why some of us loyal players can access the site and play and some of us can’t? Are there any cm’s around?

    YUMeeeSweeets Said @ 5:26 pm on January 16th, 2008

    OK…at the cashier…the 2nd option down is Instadebit. All over the ‘write up’ about it, it says for US players. However, it does not work for US players. If you click on the ‘compare’ link, at cashier, it says right there…FOR CANADIAN PLAYERS ONLY. What’s up with that? Instadebit ‘went out’ years ago for US players. So, I read about it at cashier, and got excited…thanks a lot. NOT! Well, I left for a few days, decided to come back and see what’s going on…see if the cc option is back, catch up on the blogs, etc. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. lolol

    As long as the rooms are filled ( as they are now ) Yumeee, et al, it seems there is no reason for them to rush to get the rest of us satisfied. Even if I could fund, it’s just not the same experience it was once, long, long, ago in a land far, far away.

    Dang it all! This was one of the very few enjoyable things I could do being “homebound” most of the time. Very sad here….. as are you all I know.

    potty and nap timeeeeeeeeee lol would love to see my roomies soon. I have really been thinking, lately. This thing about funding when I can’t cashout. How crazy is that? Getting back to this free site that I mentioned a few times already…it has helped me realize that playing there is just as much fun (because it’s an exact copy of a pay bingo site that awards you play money, and boy does it feel ‘real’)and, it doesn’t cost me a thing. It’s been real nice to not always be making sure I have enough money in the bank to play bingo. Can anyone relate? lolol So, I would love to be able to play at mania and see my roomies and GM’s, so I might. But, I am so glad that I have found a place that will take care of my bingo addiction, for freeeeeeeee. :) Still not sure if I will fund again, before there is an option for cashing out that I can use. Pleaseeeeeee no one say ewellet, again. We all should know by now that some CANNOT use it. Thanks! :)

LOL Yep, it was a whiner and complainer trying to hold on to their holier than tho stance…which only they believed they had. rofl…I think that made sense. lol Oh well.

    Hi buttszzbroke you’re right - I did encourage our members to leave a comment if they’re having problems accessing bingomania.com, but this was related to the DNS issue that some of our members experienced on launch date. All ISP provider’s should by now have registered the new bingomania.com DNS.

    I take it i am the holier than thou complainer and whiner yumee is talking about..

    Well first of all I dont think i’m better than others..

    second.. i “whine” when i dont win.. mostly for fun cause i really love seeing others win to as long as its not same player 10 games in a row

    Third… Bashing? whos bashing who? anyway? I was trying to make a point that people should have patience.. This upgrade we just got was lots of hard work for the mania team. And they were really doing their best to keep us happy but all they got in return was complaints complaints and more complaints..

    And just cause i say my honest oppinion i have a holier than thou attitude? I really do appreciate the work the mania team does. I really do love mania. I really do think GMs mania is the best. I really think Mania is the best site ever. If thats a crime so shoot me..

    Sorry for my bad spelling I’m norwegian as some of u might now and english is not my main language.

    Sorry to stuart for messing up his blog

    Thanks all for your support and honest feedback.

    gsfan Said @ 8:54 pm on January 16th, 2008

    mr. stu, i have a suggestion if i may.
    have u thought about shutting down the site during the overnight hrs. since there is very very few playing during them hrs.this way it gives mojo time to rest and cool off. it got to be hard on server to run 24/7 and not over heat, maybe that one reason rusty died on us. i will admitt i no nothing about computers but it almost makes sense to me. it also gives techs time to fix some issues without bothering game play.also will u see about fixing it where it shows in chat who is joining and leaving, i like to greet players when they come in as much as i can. and i agree there got to be away to show who is plsying and not playing, it hard on gm’s when they got to yell for bb reply. ty for your time and ty for all the hard work u and all your staff does to make this the site the site to be at. mark

    Regards CC option, I had posted this comment earlier:

    [Funding Questions Regards CC] As you know we’re working really hard to have our CC option available to you. Unfortunately, we cannot promise the exact time it will be available. But you can rest assure you will find out the second it becomes available via the blog, chat room and email.

    For the time being, please take advantage of eWallet payment option.

    Stuuuuuuuu…didn’t you read where some can’t even open the home page? How are they supposed to send in a ticket? And, previously, this is exactly where folks came for help. Not only about the DNS thing. This is where updates were posted, and you and Bill, and Olga, and others came in to give assistance. Those that cannot open the home page, have no other choice. Didn’t you read the comments, from some that called Mania? OK…enough about that. I, personally, I have never had a problem accessing the game. During the ‘tests’, I had no problem. When the new server was all ready and the game came back up, so many had problems…I didn’t, and I am soooooo glad for that. So, on that note…I would like to thank you for the gift in my account. I was able to try out the new site and I absolutely lovedddddddd it…especially when I maximized the screen…it was all ‘right in my face’. lol All in all, I am thinking that the major complaint is communication. I even complained about it, a few days ago. I am just really trying to be honest, and share how it feels being on this end. Most players are able to get in and play, now. Some still can’t. It feels like, once the new server was up, there was much less communication, from Mania staff, in the blog. That’s all. It feels like, most concern is given to those able to fund, and able to play. Maybe we can work on that?

    Thanks again, Stu…I, for one, am really looking forward to playing at Mania, again. Wait…not ‘for one’… lol Quite a few of us and I am sure I can speak for the other’s that can’t play right now. We are all really looking forward to playing again at Mania. :)

    WOW!!..took forever to read all the blog entries..I truly don’t understand all the negativity..I did like the previous setup..however, if Mania felt it needed to change-upgrade..whatever..so be it.. I have played at many sites that went thru changes as well..most of the time we didn’t like the changes..but eventually we settled in..
    and then there are sites that I go into..never having played there before..and I won’t go back..but when we ARE dedicated site players..then I do think we need to chill out and go with the flow..
    Good Luck to all..

I wont be ’round no mo.
