Okay, we’re having a hard time deciding on the top Halloween Costumes from this past weekend. So we’re going to let democracy take place – by giving you the opportunity to vote for your preferred Halloween Costume.
How To Vote:
- Visit the BingoMania Flickr Page
- Then come back to the blog and vote for your preferred costume below
But first, we’re putting the finishing touches to a cool poll tool, that will enable you to accurately cast your vote for the best costume. This new tool of ours will be ready tomorrow (That’s Wednesday, Nov. 4th), which you can vote directly from this page … we will update you shortly.
Hi all,
Congrats to the winners! I am trying to credit the winners, but some names submitted under do not equal account names. I am needing to get your current alias and email address please. If you can send them to me at GMBill@bingomania.com, would be apreciated. Need all that participated not just winners please.
Well done by all who participated.
1st place tanya30l
2nd place Duchess101
3rd place BarbieHarley
4th place Lkn4aWINnhaystk
5th place MY TWINS
Congrats,
GM Bill

With Easter just around the corner, we decided to organize a good ol’e traditional Easter egg hunt here at BingoMania! Since we couldn’t have everybody fly down here and scurry around the BingoMania headquarters for eggs, we decided to go with an online version instead. Here’s how it works… we made up the puzzliest puzzles we possibly could, the answers to which are hidden somewhere on the BingoMania website, or right here on the ManiaStu blog. For each puzzle that you solve, you get an Easter egg in your basket. If you can collect all 10 eggs, e-mail your answers along with your username to easter@bingomania.com and get entered into our wacky Easterly draw to win one of three $50 cash prizes. If you think you have what it takes to be BingoMania’s top egg hunter, click here to begin.
Happy Hunting!

We’re entering the final month of the year, my favorite – December!
Over the years, the Elves at the BingoMania HQ have developed a tradition of fun-filled Holiday specials that are now some of the best in online Bingo.
This year, the elves are excited to get to it but want to hear what’s on your wish list too:
What Bingo Holiday Specials would you like to see at BingoMania.com?
Share your suggestions by leaving a comment below. And in the good spirit of the Holidays, the first 50 mania members to share their Bingo Wishes might just receive an early Christmas present from the Elves at BingoMania : )

This is a guest post by GM Bill
We all had such a great time with the Halloween Contest this year that we have decided to do it once again for Christmas : )
The “2007 Christmas Name Contest” begins Saturday, December 1st!
So get those thinking caps on and get those name changes in before the end of the day on the 15th.

To see the official rules and time line with deadlines visit my personal web page
CHRISTMAS 2007 NAME CONTEST:
Show off your creativity by selecting a new and dazzling Christmas alias for a chance at some great prizes. It’s time to put on those thinking caps and get ready for a chance to win with a new name.
Simply pick a new name that we love and you may get a very nice gift. We had some fantastic entries last Christmas and we can’t wait to see what you will come up with this year. We have added an extra twist this year and will be awarding even more prizes.
We will award name winners in several categories; most creative/original, most outrageously funny, and the “Spirit of Christmas” award.
HOW IT WORKS:
You must be an active player in Bingo Mania, Nickel Bingo.
Only one name change per account/email address is allowed. If duplicated or multiple entries are received, only the first (1st) one will be accepted and the other disqualified.
You must keep the name from the time you change it, until the end of the month. Be sure to join us in the chat rooms so the GMs can see your new name.

Tallying up the votes took slightly longer than anticipated. But nevertheless, we have our winners.
As some of you know, there was a problem with the closing time of the polling station. Originally the poll was set to close at 5pm EST. Unfortunately our blog server time is set on UK time zone so 5pm EST means 9pm EST. As a result, a couple extra votes sneaked their way and slightly skewed 3rd & 4th standings as well as 5th place.
We’re not perfect. However, when we do make a mistake, we make it right. So to ensure the little time difference didn’t spoil a fun-filled promo, we’re awarding two 3rd place finishes and three 5th place finishes.
Without further ado, I present you the winners from BingoMania’s 1st Ever Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest:
Grand Prize Winner
Princess angel ($250 Amazon Gift Certificate)
2nd Place Winners
Hanutapig ($100 Amazon gift Certificate)
3rd Place (Tie)
Sunny155 – ($50 Amazon Gift Certificate)
-and-
wicked wench – ($50 Amazon Gift Certificate)
4th & 5th (3-way Tie)
Pigaboo – $25 BB
bingo4mummy – $25 BB
HappyHOGaween – $25 BB
Congratulations!
And to show our appreciation for a job well done to our contenders who didn’t make the top 5, we will credit their accounts with a little ty bonus.

[update] A big thank you to “LostMyBroom” for taking the time to resend her carved pumpkin photo to us. As some of you heard, “LostMyBroom’s”photos never found their way to us, so we never got a chance to officially enter her in the contest : ( … we feel horrible and for next year’s contest, we will do our best to make sure there’s a plan B for submitting photo.
