Hi everyone!
I am pleased to announce that BingoBets are back at BingoMania! If you’re not sure what BingoBets are or how to play, check out our BingoBets guide here. The gist is that you can place a bet on the outcome of a Bingo game in different wacky ways. For example, if you play the Lucky Number game you can place a bet that your lucky number will be in the BingoBets draw (the last 6 numbers called before the winning ball is drawn).
To all the roomies who are familiar with BingoBets already, we hope that you’ll enjoy playing them again. Also, this is top top secret confidential stuff… but we will have a new BingoBets game very soon =D
Have a great day!!

Hey all,
Just a quick notice that our toll-free phone number (1-877-77BINGO) will be temporarily unavailable due to an internet connectivity problem here in Antigua. We expect to have this phone number available again by around mid-day tomorrow Sunday, February 17th.
Until then, you can always reach us on our local number at 1-268-481-4400 or send an email to any of the addresses listed on our Contact Us page.
Sincerely,
The BingoMania Team

Hi Everyone!
We are happy to inform you that easy funding is (almost) back at BingoMania! Why “almost”? Well there are a couple kinks to iron out still. The major one is that the bank is currently not accepting Mastercard transactions. You can use your Visa credit card only to fund your BingoMania account. Another problem you may experience is this error:
NCC Transaction unsuccessful.Processing this type of credit card in this currency is not allowed
This has nothing to do with your country of residence - both Canadian and US residents may encounter this problem. This means that the bank processing the transaction is unable to approve that particular credit card. If the card is a Visa Debit Card it is more likely to incur this error, but as far as we can see any Visa card can potentially have this problem. Unfortunately we are not able to remedy this issue at this time - it is completely up to the bank. The only thing that you can do is try another Visa card - please call our support office if you have exceeded your max card limit and cannot register another card. However, this is a temporary solution and we are in the process of getting a permanent easy funding option that accepts both Visa and Mastercard within the next few weeks.
Loyalty Bonus - some of you were inquiring about the status of your loyalty bonuses for the month of January. We will be extending the loyalty & VIP bonus qualification period for January until Feb 8, 2008. What this means, is that all your deposits from Feb 1st to Feb 8th will count for both your January and February loyalty bonus, so you have an extra week to qualify. Your January loyalty bonuses will go through before February 10th as usual.
Free Games - we will keep the free Bingo games open, as a few of you may still be having trouble depositing.
We would like to remind you all NOT to post comments requesting individual support on the blog!! Our support staff don’t read the blog - they’re not very bloggy people, but they definitely answer the phone, so don’t hesitate to call us toll free at 1-877-77BINGO or submit a helpdesk ticket.
Have a most excellent day!

Hi everyone!
We’ve read and listened to your blog comments and have opened a FREE BINGO ROOM on BingoMania. The free games will run in the Party Room, 9am to midnight EST every day until our easy funding option is back. The prizes are modest - $1 per game with one 10 cent consolation prize awarded to one random non-winning roomie. But hey, it’s free =) We know how much you miss our lovely chat GM’s, so we’ve asked them to pop in to say hello whenever they can. We hope that this room will reunite all the roomies who haven’t been able to play with us lately, and keep you shouting BINGO during this wintery blues period. Our CC option will be up next week and the Party Room will close then, but in the meantime, have fun and enjoy!
Warm Wishes,
The BingoMania Family
ps. to all the peeps who can indeed fund, you can certainly play the free games but remember that you can be in 2 rooms at the same time, so don’t miss out on the fun chat games and biggie prizes in our regular rooms

Hi Everyone!
First off we would like to thank everyone who helped us test our new server yesterday - you guys are fantastic! For those of you who weren’t there, Mojo was smooth as a cucumber and everything went really well. We will be touching up the new server over the holidays and have set the launch date for January 9th, 2008. Until then, we are doing our best to keep Little Rusty problem-free, which is why we are having maintenance downtime. We should have our games up and running before the end of the day, and will keep you updated here on ManiaStu.
UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that our games are BACK ONLINE… again 
We apologize again for our recent downtime, but hope that you enjoyed the free games. All your Bingo winnings will be credited into your accounts by Monday.
Again, thank you everyone, you’ve been absolutely amazing! We really appreciate your understanding and thank you for your support. As a thank you, we have extended our 150% deposit bonus every day up to and including Wednesday.
Warm holiday wishes,
The BingoMania Team

Hi all!
We have been experiencing a bit of difficulties with Lil Ol Rusty lately and had to do some maintenance on Sunday night. It’s running a little late, but not to worry! We should be up and running by 4PM EST today. In more good news, we are preparing Mojo our new server for his big debut. We will keep you posted on when to expect his appearance.
Meanwhile, please bare with us and we promise to have you shouting Bingo in no time! Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding, we’re all here behind the scenes working really hard to make sure BingoMania is ready for you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
The BingoMania family
Update: we are still working on resolving the issue and will have the site ready for everyone as soon as possible. Again, thank you for your patience =)

Hello,
Our apology if you’ve tried to access BingoMania.com today - we’re currently experiencing some downtime and are working hard to make the site available to you in the shortest time possible.
To explain to you what’s happening, we figured we introduce you to Little Rusty:
I’m Mania’s server, Little Rusty. We’ve met before but I don’t think we’ve been formally introduced. Lately, I haven’t been so nice and have annoyed you on many occasions.
I might only be a software but I am embarrassed and I do feel I’ve let everyone down – you, the team and even Toji.
There are no words to explain how deeply sorry I am for my behaviour. Please do accept my apology and know that Olga, Shawn and Billy and the entire tech team at Mania are trying their best to fix me. I’m going to do my best to keep strong and get myself back up so you can enjoy all the goodies I hear that are stored for you this weekend at BingoMania.com.
In the meantime, I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me : (
Very sorry again,
Mania Server
Little Rusty
