Bingo Hero or Bingo Zero?

Tuesday, Sep. 14th 2010 7:29 AM

The latest review to hit our site is that of Bingo Hero; Sunday was spent in away that can only be described as pulling teeth trying to compile a review of this Cozy Games bingo site. We’ve played at sites on this platform quite a bit, not through choice but through necessity, and we can say, hand on heart, the experience doesn’t ever get any better! What’s even more infuriating is that novice bingo players are being sucked in by what appears to be great welcome bonuses!

In fact these aren’t great offers from Bingo Hero; scratch the surface (i.e. read the terms and conditions) and you’ll see that it’s very unlikely you will ever see a return on your money!

Are Cassava Sites Banning ‘Unprofitable’ Players?

Wednesday, Jul. 28th 2010 9:37 PM

If you play at any 888 / Cassava powered sites, then you may just need to start looking carefully at how you handle your money. Over the last couple of months, I’ve been hearing an increasing number of reports from people who have been banned from Cassava powered sites on a number of different networks. The one thing these reports have in common is that players are what you would describe as unprofitable.

They all seem to share the same profile – they withdraw more than they deposit – and use their frequent withdrawals to refund their accounts and take advantage of the reload bonus. One has been told they’re abusing bonuses by doing this. Others have been told they are unacceptable as players as they only deposit funds when the site offers an extra deposit bonus. Either way, players are having their accounts frozen without warning, and some are having their winnings withheld as a result. Well, I’m here to say this sort of behaviour is not on, and appeal to Cassava to stop this shoddy behaviour. I’m also here to warn you about what’s happening, so as you can take steps to stop yourself becoming one of the banned.

Two Mil Thrill At Tasty Bingo

Monday, Jul. 19th 2010 8:21 AM

There is something new happening over at Tasty Bingo and the site have chosen to call it the “£2 Mil Thrill” but maybe here at Bingo VG we are just old cynics because the game is just like any other million pound coverall offered at many brands powered by the 888/Globalcom/Dragonfish software. This time instead of playing for one million players have the ‘very slim, practically no’ chance of winning two million.

Tasty Bingo, like many brands before it, are using this big coverall jackpot game for marketing and enticing players through the doors. Pay £1 for a bingo ticket and you could ‘maybe’ win two million pounds. Likelihood of it ever happening? Well you have two hopes, one is Bob and the other no!

Online Bingo Player Charter And Complaints Section Launched

Thursday, Jul. 8th 2010 4:39 PM

There’s one thing that really irks me as a bingo player, and that’s when sites take the pee and try to make it as difficult as possible for me to get my hard won money out, or impose over the top terms and conditions on what I can do with the bonuses they give me. I’ve been lucky and avoided any real problems over the years, but I know from the contacts I’ve had with other bingo players that some people find themselves with real issues when it comes to online bingo.

To that end I’ve decided to do something about it – so I’ve been busy putting together a number of pages on the site to help players should they find themselves with a major complaint about an online bingo site. Our brand new Online Bingo Complaints section offers players advice and resources to help them try and fight back against shoddy online bingo operators. There’s advice on what to do if you find yourself in a dispute, a Watch List of sites from which we receive lots or serious complaints.
