Thank you!I’m too loving our blog and glad to see many of our loyal bingo maniacs sharing their thoughts and suggestions with us. It means a lot … and all the comments are the life line for the success of the blog and our community.

If you’ve got something on your mind, we’re listening, please let us know.

Over the last couple of days, we’ve received tons of great suggestions. I want to summarize all the wonderful suggestions on today’s post, and see realistically what’s possible.

Suggestion: 150% Bonus Every Day
By: gallopingranny
My thought:

We’ve never been a site that offered the highest bonuses, because by giving out more bonuses we wouldn’t be able to continue to offer the prizes that we do. Over the years, we’ve managed to cut back on unnecessary expenses so we can afford to offer our member’s competitive bonus specials like our 2x per week 150% bonus, minimum 50% reload bonus and loyalty bonuses. We are also always investing in projects that we think make Bingomania different from the other bingo sites out there.

That all being said, I think its fair to say that we‘ve proven that you can count on us, we will always find new ways to help you stretch your money at BingoMania. And best of all, when you win big, we pay you:)

Suggestion: Change patterns more often
By: dewdropinn81 & Darlene
My thought:

I agree with your suggestion. Shame on us. I’ll speak with GM Bill and Jordan, and we will start changing our patterns more often.

Suggestion: Quickie games
By: abbingo winner & alwaysone
My thought:

I like this idea, we had plans for launching a quickie special room, not sure why we never went forward with it. I’ll speak with GM Bill and see what options we have. Thanks!

Suggestion: Show loyalty points to players
By: Rachy Rays
My thought:

You’ll be glad to know on the upcoming redesign of bingomania.com, this feature will be available.

Suggestion: Nakid Bingo Hour
By: NyBill
My thought:

Wow, you got my attention with this suggestion … how do you see this session playing out?

Suggestion: Slots & Bingo Tourney
By: Mooners44
My thought:

Currently, we have our weekly Bingo tourney on Friday Nights. In the very near future, we might add one big monthly tournament to the mix … this way, you’ll have our $12,000 Friday Bingo Tourney and once a month a bigger bingo tourney. I’m thinking we can start this late October, early November. We will keep you posted.We use to have a weekend Slots and Video Poker Tourney … unfortunately, not many of our members participated, so we stopped the tourney. It seemed that every other bingo site out there runs a similar event. At Mania, we try to offer you a different entertainment experience from what is currently offered at any one of our competitors. That’s not always easy…lol. With that said, we’ve got some ideas brewing here at the BingoMania HQ and hope it will be enjoyed by our Video Poker and Slots players. Stay tuned.


Suggestion: One Line, Two Lines, and Three Lines
By: bunnys057
My thought:

That’s an interesting suggestion. I’ll speak to GM Bill on this as well and see what options we have. Ty.

Suggestion: Bringing Back Keno Chat Games
By: Bunnys057, Rachy Ray, Moneybunny

GM Bill: What do you think? Can we bring this special chat game back?

Suggestion: no pre-buy & new slots
By: Choocoomagooo & 10lubber35
My thought:

With the new BingoMania.com upgrade, we will be introducing a slew of new games including a couple of new slots. More on the upgrade on a later post this week.Over at our sister site in the UK, no pre-buy has been a hit. Maybe we can take a community poll.

Suggestion: more chat prizes such as t-shirts, magnets, etc.
By: duch525
My thought:

I like this idea and will look into it and get back to you. Thx.

Suggestion: see bigger pots late at night & auto-buy
By: 7 grands & Hope (Angie)
My thought:

Auto-buy feature will be available with the new upgrade. And late night bingo pots, could be a possibility. We’re in the process of revamping some of our games and I’ll do my best to include a couple of sessions per week.

Suggestion: more winners on home page
By: Ps2Mobius1
My thought:

I’ll see what options we have available on the upcoming site redesign.

Suggestion: trips and merchandises & pre-buy package tournaments
By: Bill Collector
My thought:

We will definitely do our best by introducing new monthly specials and different grand prizes like cruises, trips, etc. stay tuned. Thx.!

    Hi again LOL

    I just now remembered what I wanted to ask…since we are able to make the chat list font bigger, can you think about us being able to change the font on the chat area? It would sure help many of us with eyesight problems.

    Thanks!!

    I would like to see a cover all play every hour 24/7 along with more 2 and 3 line games in the dollar room. Also the patterns during the daily fixed pots could be changed.

    ali aka bingo Said @ 10:57 am on September 13th, 2007

    on fixed pots the shr used to have them on tuesday and thursday between 2and4 pm randomly but another room of fixed pots in that time period.

    Amber Said @ 11:06 am on September 13th, 2007

    Hi and Great idea on this blog.
    I also think that at least one room that goes all nite with on and off fixed pots and coveralls would be awesome. There are lots of us night owls on this site. You could even call it Night Owl. lol. I also agree with the new patterns. There are lots and lots of patterns that we could give trial runs to. Then you could set up a couple of polls and see which ones were more liked. New slots would be fantastic. A new one that is like Crackin or Trollin would be fun. Also please bring back keno. I miss it. Also big slot wins could be on the front page as well.
    More fair and square tourneys. Also the auto buy/prebuy is a good idea but maybe only have it for the next two games so that it doesn’t get out of hand. I think thats all for now. lol.
    Have a great day.

    OH! I remember one of the suggestions I had a loooong time ago and never said anything. I love Emoticons and would just LUV to see some new ones. Maybe an emoticon that says WTG, TY, BRB, 3TG, 2TG, 1TG…or something along those lines. I know sometimes my mouse doesn’t want to let my cursor let me type stuff in. (it’s wonderful being me)! This way, I can just click and go!

    KrabbyPatty Said @ 12:32 pm on September 14th, 2007

    WOW! Live Help is a GREAT suggestion!! Yes, that would be a huge, wonderful thing if we had it here at Mania. P-p-p-p-p-pleaseeeeee

    KrabbyPatty Said @ 12:40 pm on September 14th, 2007

    Ok does anyone know if we can use SafePay as a CASHOUT option??? One of Stu’s comments mentioned it and I just need some clarification. If so, it would be a great improvement over ewallet. Any feedback would be appreciated.

  12. 12
    Stuart Said @ 3:33 pm on September 14th, 2007

    I see our Maniacs are full of ideas … I love it!

    KrabbyPatty: yes, you can use SafePay as a withdrawal option. If you already have a SafePay account:

    1) visit our cashier page
    2) click the ‘request payout’ (orange button)
    3) you’ll see ‘SafePay’ as the first withdrawal option.
    4) simply enter your “SafePay Account Number” in the field marked “SafePay Account Number”.

    If you don’t have a SafePay account, sign-up for one through our cashier ‘deposit’ page. This way any deposits you make to BingoMania.com using SafePay, we will pay the transaction fee on your behalf. And best of all, you’ll be able to get your winnings through SafePay too.

    Note I’m a bit rusty on the customer support side of things, so hope you find the above helpful.

    jpvirgin: yes, Live Help … you’ll be glad to know, will be launching a live helper service very soon.

    flower61: thank you. I will make sure she gets your message.

    Amber: fantastic suggestions … give us a few weeks, and we will present some new goodies to you and your fellow bingo maniacs.

    KrabbyPatty: those are great suggestions. I’ll run it by our development team and see what we can do.

    DAZZLINGJEWL: thanks for your feedback. We will be looking into this for you and hopefully we can introduce new patterns or at least change the patterns around to freshen things up for you.

    I was wondering if we could change our nicknames any sooner that once every 30 days. It would be nice to lower it if at all possible.
    Thanks!!!!

    HoneyofaBingo Said @ 9:40 pm on September 22nd, 2007

    Why not get rid of the free room as we can’t win any money and no one plays in it anyway?

    BP(Barbara)NeedsLuck Said @ 10:19 pm on September 24th, 2007

    1st game is 3 corners
    2nd game is 4 corners
    3rd game is 4 corners and cross

    redrush4$$$ Said @ 10:15 am on September 28th, 2007

    I would like to thank mania for doing a great job, but could we possibly do maintenance in the middle of the night rather than during fixed pots and day time hours ?????
    Seems like there are alot of server issues……maybe get a new one?????

    lov2bingo Said @ 3:36 pm on October 2nd, 2007

    Bring back keno, add more bonus feature video slots. Add higher payout pulltabs $1000?

    Also I enjoy 3 part games, outside corners, Big X , coverall.

    I think you should cover the ewalletExpress fees for U.S. Payouts since that is pretty much our only payout option, it isn’t fair!

    Create a $1 room where the Jackpot is actually reachable! So there can be several JP winners daily. Start it at $150 or somthing. Having a 10,000+ jackpot is worthless if it is next to impossible to get, it’s just no fun!

    Add pull tabs to the bingo software window, so we can pullem and watch our cards at the same time:)

    Less rooms = bigger pots. I love 90 ball but nobody is ever in there I think with less room choices more people might play it? Get rid of the $5 room it is too pricey , instead of it add a $1 fast room where the jackpot is getable!

    I have a lot more ideas but I’ve taken up too much room already so I’ll shut up lol :)

    Mary Grace Canepa Said @ 10:56 am on October 19th, 2007

    I agree with those who want more ‘variety’ in the patterns and also would love to have some “speed” games for a straight line.

    Love everything… no “lerve” everything, noooo, ummm, “loaf” everything at Bingomania!!!!!

    WICKED WENCH Said @ 11:19 pm on October 19th, 2007

    I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SPEED GAMES ON A SET SCHEDULE..LIKE EVERYDAY! AND ALONG WITH THAT PERHAPS A CONTEST FOR THE MOST WINS ACRUED DURING A MONTH’S TIME…AND YES I HAVE TO AGREE WITH SHR..SET POTS WOULD BE FANTASTIC..ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THE CARDS ARE 5 BUX A PIECE..IT WOULD BE FUN TO HAVE A COUPLE OF DAYS AT LEAST WHERE A SET TIME THE POTS WOULD BE SET…I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A 3-WAY COVERALL GAME..LIKE A STR8 LINE BINGO FIRST..THEN ANOTHER PATTERN LEADING INTO THE COVERAL..SIMILAR TO THE MONEY POT GAMES..
    I LOVE SHR AND YES I HAVE TO AGREE..ABI IS GR8!

  29. 29
    WICKED WENCH Said @ 11:18 am on October 26th, 2007

    I think there should be a blo contest for the funniest blog..!! and my vote goes to Honeybear for her blog post about addiction and needing meth..cracked me up! I also would like to suggest each week mania has a contest for the most friendly roomie..so many times we go into chat and no one is talking..or roomies can get negative at times..i would like to see every week a roomie get like 25 bb’s (or more)..lol..for the most helpful and friendly…would be a gr8 way to keep chat motivated and friendly!

    Croikee….. not up yet Wow… Larry, Curly, Moe probably not the top of the line techies.

    We had our Living Room and Dining Room carpeted, our chimney swept clean and our Furnace replaced since they started to “fix” the Mania server!!!!

    I have a nephew who is 12. He is willing to come to Antigua and fix their server!!!

    Yes, I am venting. Yes I am aggravated. This is still a free country and I declare my right to be really really upset and angry and frustrated and extremely curious as to exactly why they can’t get this together more quickly!!!!!

    There are several other Parlay game sites that are exactly like this one. All are up and running just fine! Techies ! Give them a call and find out what switch to pull!!!!

    I DO NOT ADVOCATE NOR DO I INTEND TO PLAY AT ANY OTHER SITE. NONE COMPARE WITH BINGOMANIA.. BUT IT IS FAIR FOR A PLAYER WHO CANNOT FUND, CANNOT PLAY AND CANNOT GET THEIR WINNINGS BACK WHEN THE DARN THING IS UP TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE SITES. And that is exactly what I’ve been doing during this long, long, downtime ( and it would certainly help to have someone from Bingomania besides the poor GM’s who are wonderful and are trying to keep us amused ) but who are helpless as we are to do anything about anything.

    The End.

    I suggest we all pray for peace. World Peace at this time of the year…. perhaps that’s what we should be focusing on now.

    ( did I just say that?! )

    Am trying to be sincere … should I apologize?

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all….

    I love the new skins we have with MOJO. GR8JOB Bingo Mania.
    However, in the Lucky Lane room I find the red brightness quite distracting. And today it triggered my migrane. It likely will not affect everyone this way but migrane sufferers should wear sunglasses if they are planning to play for in LL 4 hrs.
