    I just took another look at the site to see how all the problems are going…doesn’t look like anything has been fixed. I notice on the newsletter there are no $250 games posted for HR again tonight. Last week the newsletter made it sound like there was some kind of glitch but it seems more like the big games may be gone until more people are able to fund.
    Could someone please update me on this, thanks so much.

    Wish I could contribute some useful info but as of today still cannot fund even with eWallet…. but am keeping tabs on things and although not overly hopeful, seems they are indeed working on getting that cc option up and running. My bank simply will not give eWallet the correct routing numbers for my checking account ( dang it all ). But just for the fun of playing, etc… will still fund and play as soon as it gets up and going. Again, miss everyone, miss the roomies, miss BINGOMANIA :-(

    Hugs to all and gla to all who are in there playing. :-)

    Robin1952 Said @ 10:35 am on January 26th, 2008

    I for one am in the same boat as most who use a CC to fund,, I am certainly hoping that this feature gets up and running soon,, I miss playing and would truly like to play again,, I also use E-Wallet but do not have enough in my checking acct. to fund that, so I am left with playing elsewhere, ie, no other bingo sites though,, just other game rooms,, Its very exciting to see there will be a Valentine’s Day tourney, but unless the CC option is up I, and probably many others wont be able to participate, but from my point of view, the same people always win in those tourneys just as they do over and over and over again in the rooms,, to me I feel its not really all that fair that the same people win constantly over and over again,, maybe they need to put a limit on those that do that, maybe restrict how many cards they can buy so that maybe for once other people have a chance to win. really tired of seeing the same names winning PJP’s week after week, month after month ,, I am sure there is more than me that feel the same way,, And I am sure I will get slammed for saying all this but that is how I feel,, I dont care if some of you dont like it or not,, I just feel its not fair to those of us that cannot afford to buy max cards in a room,, there needs to be a solution,, ok so there, I said how I feel,,

    HI Maniacs,
    I am too in the same boat with the CC option. I miss Mania very much. I wish I could play in the tourney as it is an awsome idea.
    I do have a suggestion, why not put the games back up like on the old site that were free? You didnt win anything on them, but at least it kept me busy till I could fund. And if you do put the new slot games up for us to try. lol

  24. 24
    Mary Grace Canepa Said @ 12:42 pm on January 26th, 2008

    Oh that would be such a good idea and thanks for posting that one, BankRoll!!!! There was a time way back when, about maybe say 5 years ago, that you could play for free and although you didn’t win cash, you could win prizes. That’s where I got a Bingomania refrigerator magnet; a dauber bag filled w/ bingomania daubers, and a Bingomania T-shirt!!!! And……… if that weren’t enough, they did “pay out” it was one penny if you won!!! Oh that would be sweeeeeet!

    Now of course, the only problem is, will anyone in charge read this LOL and if so, will they actually put that free room in place?!

    Hope so and really, really, really miss playing!!!

    CC option up in a week or so, too bad that keeps so many of us from receiving our loyalty bonus, that stinks to high heaven. My bank will also not allow ewallet so I have no way to make the next $20 to make my $100 deposit to get the loyalty bonus.

    WAUSAU, I too am concerned about my loyalty bonus & status. So, I want to look @ my depo history & found out that I have none in the current system.
    Thus, I NOT going to worry for now. Maybe we’ll be starting our loyalty all over again once the easy funding is bk. 1ALLRED

    Olga,

    Here’s a hugeeeee “Thanks” to Mania for the Party Room Games! Have a small question though. With the new system are we only able to acess only 2 rooms at a time? The old set up would allow us to play in as many rooms at time as we wanted. Please clear this up for me. I tried to open 3 rooms and was not able to do so.

    I wanted to thank you for the party room. I am unable to get to a place to send a monry gram and was out of money. Again thank you I still pop in and say hi in the room I play the most to see my roomies. But now maybe skippy will let me win a game so I can play other rooms.I think ot os great and you are si giid to us that is why so many people love this place.

    Mary Grace Canepa Said @ 12:13 pm on January 27th, 2008

    Can one of you explain to me why you are referring to when you say thanks for the “party” room? I’m sure it is something that I already missed out on LOL.. because I haven’t been vigilant in looking at the posted blogs/ nor have I been able to play ( definitely not going into that problem again LOL ) … so crazy or someone, if you read this , can you explain it to me?

    Still so very anxious in Ohio,

    Mary Grace Canepa Said @ 12:31 pm on January 27th, 2008

    Okay.. just got the scoop on the party room/ great perk they’ve offered us. Can anyone now tell me how to get into the party room?

    I can get into all the other rooms but the party room just starts ‘loading’ but stops. Maybe too many peeps trying to get in?

    1ALLRED Said @ 12:44 pm on January 27th, 2008

    ANTJUDE, there are now 121 players in the free rm. Not all of them in chat tho….Keep trying…hope you get in.. miss you and can’t wait 4 things 2 get sorted out and we have cc funding again, lol
    Best regards, 1 ALLRED

    Mary Grace Canepa Said @ 7:40 pm on January 27th, 2008

    How sweet of you to respond 1ALLRED…. I did finally get into the Party Room/ even tho there are a bzillion peeps in there, at least one can play and get to know the site!!! Am very happy to have it available. Can’t wait to be able to fund and have some $$ to play the other rooms
    ( even though I realize I cannot claim anything back, still it’s great to play and chat.) So I’m going to go into the Party Room maybe earlier in the day when there are less peeps playing. And THANK YOU MANAGEMENT so much for this room; hopefully you will still consider a permanent penny room or free room that will give out prizes as you used to do in the past. Even if we just win 5 cent bb’s… or whatever, still it’s a thrill to win something!

    Waiting anxiously to send you my money!!!

    olga Said @ 11:46 pm on January 27th, 2008

    MW53 - You should be able to open up as many rooms as you like simultaneously.. I just tested it and it worked fine for me. Try waiting a few seconds before opening your next consecutive room.

  41. 41
    olga Said @ 11:50 pm on January 27th, 2008

    ALLRED - all your deposit history is in the current system. Try going to “track balance” under the My Account menu and set the dates to be Dec 1 - Dec 31 2007 for instance. If you do not see any data, please submit a support ticket, but rest assured I just checked and all your lifetime transactions are in our system.

    Cheerios,

    olga Said @ 2:33 pm on February 1st, 2008

    lol flower - you’re right they should be bigger. The other two are “BINGO LUV” and “DAUB ME”

    Dazzling - I added in the 1,2,3 line pattern games to the party room just for you =)

    ColCash - of course your hubby can be your sweetheart! he is your hubby after all. As long as he has his own account and credit card. Our multiple account rule just states that you can have max 2 accounts per household and no more than 1 account per person. So basically you can’t be your own sweetheart loll we will have cc option up sometime before tourney starts no worries

    And yes we changed the caller - we will also change the rest of the lady callers to be the dude as well due to player requests in chat

    Cheerios,

    Can my hubby use my ewallet account to fund his bingo account? We use the same checking account, lol. He is new member too and loves playing his own account. Just glad he now leaves mine alone! Love the 1 2 3 pattern in free room, but due to me winning in regular room I will not be in free room until I have a zero balance. Can’t see taking from those who can’t fund. Just my own opinion. Good luck to all!

    Dear Kimmers62:
    I fully agree with you, only when I have no money is free an option because I can fund,Mania will not stop any one from playing free but please remember how it fells to want to play and can not due to funding problems. Let them win a little so nut house is an option not the impossable dream of the unfundable lololol ssry if this seams unkind just thought Kimmers62 got it right.

Below I have posted the winners list along with their Sweethearts name, you will notice that we did play more then 20 games, in fact 3 addtoinal games played between the session hours so that we didnt have to close the room between the 2 -10 game sessions.

    Truelyblessed Said @ 4:56 pm on February 15th, 2008

    I just wanted to say I am sorry to those friends that feel the same people win all the time. I understand your frustration,but stay positive. Some people spend a small fortune and some play only a few dollars, but it only takes one card to win. I go both ways, I buy lots of cards and win or not, I buy one card and win or not.I feel Mania is the most fair I have ever seen or played, they work hard to keep their players happy and I know they are doing their best to get the cc funding option up, they miss us as much as we miss them. I look forward to being able to fund again, I think I am going to use moneygram so I can play this weekend. That option is fast and you can use your cc to fund online. Keep your fingers crossed and stay positive, your time will come and when it does you will hit the big one. :)
    Happy Valentines Day and congrats to those roomies that won last night…Awesome

    I had a great time and was even fortunate enough to win one with my partner….congrats to all the others who were just as fortunate. Started off a wee bit shaky…chat had my head spinning…
    perhaps something like that can be held in 2 rooms..running the same games..providing the site can be setup that way…regardless was still a fun time….thanks Bill and Mania !
