Hi Everyone!

While we wait to update our permanent credit card processor, we have set up a temporary solution to allow US and Canadian players to fund their BingoMania account using Visa or Mastercard. This solution lets you load a virtual ToggleCard using your credit card, and then you can use this ToggleCard at BingoMania just like a regular credit card. Launch Skippy’s step-by-step tutorial to learn how to use ToggleCard and start playing =)

    does anyone know if you can use this card immediately or do you have to wait a week for verification like with ewallet?

    Hi guys,

    You don’t have to wait at all, it’s completely instant.

    Here’s the general overview:

    1. Register for your free virtual card - much like you would register for an eWallet account. Only here you get a Togglecard that you can load up using Visa or Mastercard. This Togglecard has a unique 16 digit account number, CVV, and expiration date - just like a credit card.
    2. Load your virtual Togglecard with funds using your credit card.
    3. Use your Togglecard just like any regular credit card at Bingomania, by first registering it with Bingomania, and then re-using it on all future deposits. You can log in to togglecard.com to re-load your Togglecard at any time if it runs out of funds, just like you would reload an eWallet account =)

    Hope this helps! And with regards to Visa gift cards - you’ll just have to try it out. If it works, great - if not, then =(

    Togglecard.com verifies your credit card on the spot. The reason why it takes so long with eWallet is because they have to verify your checking account at your bank which takes time to process. Credit card processing is instant (you can use your major credit cards at a store for example and it takes a couple of seconds to approve/decline). It’s really simple to use after you do it once :)

    Q: what is a “virtual Togglecard”?
    A: it is an online card, uniquely identified by a 16 digit code, CVV and expiration date, that you can load using Visa/Mastercard and use to make purchases online.

    Q: why should I use it?
    A: just like other virtual cards/accounts, it allows you to give your Visa/Mastercard information to just one source, but make purchases at many online retailers without having to divulge your cc info to them all. You just give them your togglecard account info and the transaction has Togglecard.com as the middle man to keep your real Visa/Mastercard info secure.

    thanks

    Kimmers62 Said @ 3:51 pm on February 29th, 2008

    I have not tried the gift cards, but I would think as long as they have the 16 digit number, expiration date, and the CW2 number on the back of it like a regular credit card , that it would work. Good luck!

    This
    poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
    New York
    Hospital .

    I was sent this and I also have cancer. After reading this I felt who better than all my friends and staff here at Bingo Mania would pass this to family and friends as it matter’s a great deal. Thank you all for reading this, Love Rissey

    It was sent
    by

    a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
    AFTER THE POEM.

    SLOW DANCE

    Have you ever watc he d kids

    On a merry-go-round?

    Or listened to
    the rain

    Slapping on the ground?

    Ever followed a
    butterfly’s erratic flight?

    Or gazed at the sun into the fading
    night?

    You better slow down.

    Don’t dance so
    fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won’t
    last.

    Do you run through each day

    On the
    fly?

    When you ask How are you?

    Do you hear the
    reply?

    When the day is done

    Do you lie in your
    bed

    With the next hundred chores

    Running through
    your head?

    You’d better slow down

    Don’t dance so
    fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won’t
    last.

    Ever told your child,

    We’ll do it
    tomorrow?

    And in your haste,

    N ot see
    his

    sorrow?

    Ever lost touch,

    Let a good
    friendship die

    Cause you never had time

    To call
    and say,”Hi”

    You’d better slow down.

    Don’t dance
    so fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won’t
    last.

    When you run so fast to get somewhere

    You
    miss half the fun of getting there.

    When you worry and hurry
    through your day,

    It is like an unopened
    gift….

    Thrown away.

    Life is not a
    race.

    Do take it slower

    Hear the
    music

    Before the song is over.

    gsfan - we’re working on getting bingobets back up within the next couple of weeks. The problem with it, was that when you made a bet, it wouldn’t take you one step closer to qualifying your bonus. So then it becomes impossible to qualify =( As you can tell, that’s not fun for anybody! That’s why we had to take them off until we can fix the problem. Sorry for the long wait, they are really fun once you get the hang of it and we’ll do our best to have them back asap!!

    RE: togglecard problems

    Access denied can be fixed by going to register using this link: register toggle

    All cards registered before today are no longer re-loadable because ToggleCard has upgraded their software. So just register for a new togglecard and that one will be reloadable like before. You will need to verify your toggle account after 3 card loads though - they implemented this as a security measure to prevent fraud. If you have any questions or problems pertaining to your individual card, please click on the “live help” button on any of the ToggleCard deposit pages at BingoMania, try our FAQ section as I will be posting up a whole pool of info on there, or e-mail me at helpme@bingomania.com

    HAGN!
