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 :D

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

    ‘For those of you who weren’t there, Mojo was smooth as a cucumber and everything went really well.’

    Are you kidding me??? No sound, no chat…..some people couldn’t get in at all……not ’smooth’ by my definition. Maybe you didn’t realize that some of us still don’t have a caller and chat won’t load….because we couldn’t tell you as we waited 2 hrs for chat to load and it never did. If yesterday’s test was an indication of how ‘Mojo” is gonna be…..well, I’ll miss you all……..

    OMG all day without bingo what is a girl to do!!! House is clean presents are wrapped and kiddos are gone for the night. As for the new server in my opinion it stinks! The new board is wayyyy to light and as I have bad eyesight its not good! Those bingo bets *bleck* couldnt figure out how they worked even after clicking that rootin tootin question mark a few times! And I noticed that it took me forever and I do mean forever to get into chat the last time because the room was FULL! Full what do you mean full whats up with that? And as for the caller she just sounds a little to perky for my liking. I just hope they change the skin for that bingo board and make that “glass” where the bingo balls come out a little clearer. as for the bingo bets I just wont play them. I am however looking forward to the micro slots!

    just a suggestion..but those of u that had issues with the new server…maybe u can tell em which type of internet u are using (i.e, dial-up, dsl, satellite) and which browser u are using (i.e, firefox, internet explorer, etc). Maybe this will help them fix the problem ;)

    I was fine both times on mine…i use high speed dsl and firefox…hope that helps :)

    Someone at Bingomania get their I Phone. PREPARE TO FILM LIVE.

    Ok. First give us some dang cards. Now, get a caller and put all 75 balls in the hopper and get it rolling! Put them in front of a lit bingo board. Next, pull the balls, and call them. We will all daub.

    i’ve been with mania for almost 7 years and have never found another bingo with as many choices for games and never had a problem cashing out until the changes that our crappy gov’t made trying to ban US players…now it just takes longer…oh and the fact that i’m waaaaaay over due for a big win. would love to try cashing out again. seems my luck took a dive but 2008’s gonna be a good year i can feel it in my itchy palms. i know one lady who said she played at a site where she won over $800 in one night and ended up having to spend it all back because they had waging requirements…she ended up with nothing and when she asked about it in chat she said they booted her. i’m staying put lol.

    nawty Said @ 3:29 pm on December 21st, 2007

    ok, i’m bored to death so i’ll post, listen up mania, keeping us updated means.. “posting” an UPDATE as to when you think “WE” the money spending, paycheck supplying players, will be playing! I’ve cleaned everything cleanable, tried another crummy bingo site and lost the money i would’ve given to you, IF you were operational.,

    and while i’m on a roll. I would like to suggest another loyalty level for those players who fund over the 1000.00 a month, perhaps giving back the same 200.00 vip for EACH 1000.00 funded per month would encourage your high rollers to fund as such, you are a very generous site however you’re ultra high rollers are not represented with bonuses, in the same fashion as your regular players. If the same player had multiple accounts the bonuses would be representative of the 200.00 per thousand loyalty. But since we’re limited to one account. I think the higher depositors should be rewarded compensatory bonus.
    with that said, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OUR MANIA FAMILY MAY THIS NEW YEAR BRING YOU JOY, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS XOXOX NAWTY

    and while i’m on a roll. I would like to suggest another loyalty level for those players who fund over the 1000.00 a month, perhaps giving back the same 200.00 vip for EACH 1000.00 funded per month would encourage your high rollers to fund as such, you are a very generous site however you’re ultra high rollers are not represented with bonuses, in the same fashion as your regular players.
