|

Can I keep my winnings
in my BingoWorkz account? |

Yes. You may hold any
amount of funds (deposits or winnings)
in your account for as long as you wish.
Many players prefer to do this so as to
have funds available for our big TOP and
Jackpot games when required.

 |
| |
How many cards can
I play? |
| |
That depends on the
game you are playing. In Bingo Central
you may play from 3 to 100 cards per game.
In Fair 'n Square everyone plays 20 cards
to provide a fair and level playing field
- each game has a set price and all players
have the same chance of winning the CASH!
Other games vary depending on the game
selected. But remember, the more cards
you buy the higher your chances of winning.
Although there are only nine cards visible
on your screen at any given time, the
game software will automatically keep
track of all your cards, and inform you
if you win. By playing in autoplay mode,
you will be able to see whenever one of
your numbers comes up. Your computer will
automatically mark it off for you so you
really can play as many cards as you wish.
Our games also have an automatic "Best
Order" function which enables you to see
your best cards at any given time. Cards
change color automatically the closer
you get to BINGO enabling you to clearly
see whether you're 3, 2 or 1 call away
from scooping the CASH!!

How much do cards
cost? |
| |
That depends on the
game you're playing. At Bingo
Central the default card price
is 25 cents but we also have regular dime
games and sometimes your chat leader may
even change the card prices at random
if the players request it. Card prices
also vary according to our game specials.
Cards purchased for our TOP games (Top
of the Morning, Top of the Day, Top of
the Evening and Top of the Week) vary
in price from 50 cents to one dollar.
Blackout Bingo and Poker
Bingo are cash only, so enjoy
bigger pots and greater odds!

Can I buy cards in
advance? |
| |
Yes you can. You may
buy cards in advance using Pre-buy or
Auto-buy features. To buy your cards in
advance, log in to the game and select
"Buy Cards".
Back
to Top... |
| |
 |
| |
Can I keep the same
cards from game to game? |
| |
No, this is not possible.
Our game server randomly creates and distributes
new bingo cards for each new game. As
in a live bingo hall or casino, players
can only play each card once for every
individual game. We do this to keep the
game totally fair and honest.
Back
to Top... |
| |
 |
| |
Is there always a
winner? |
| |
Yes, every game always
has a winner. Sometimes there may even
be more than one winner, in which case
the game prize or jackpot is shared accordingly.
The winner's nickname is broadcast to
all players that are logged in to the
game. This confirms that the game has
ended and that the winner has been awarded
the game prize.
Don't forget
many of our games have
multiple winners. We are the only bingo
site that awards up to ten extra prizes
per game to randomly selected players.
That means up to ten chances per game
to win - ten times better than any other
site out there!
Back
to Top...
|
| |
 |
| |
How is the prize
money determined? |
| |
Every game prize is
determined by a complex formula which
involves a percentage of the dollar value
of cards purchased for the previous game
and a percentage of the dollar value of
cards purchased for the current game.
TOP game prizes are determined by the
latter formula plus a percentage of the
dollar value of cards purchased during
the preceding week or day - depending
on the TOP game. Random Jackpots are determined
by the dollar value of all previous card
sales and build until the specific call
per pattern is achieved. Basically we
give away up to 80% of all card sales
as real CASH prizes every day!! The more
folks playing and the more cards purchased,
the bigger the prizes!!
Back
to Top... |
| |
 |
| |
What happens if there
is more than one winner? |
| |
In the event that there is
more than one CASH winner per game, our
game server automatically splits the winning
prize equally between the winners. Winning
amounts are then credited to each players
account.
Don't forget
many of our games have
multiple winners. We are the only bingo
site that awards up to ten extra prizes
per game to randomly selected players.
That means up to ten chances per game
to win - ten times better than any other
site out there!

 |
| |
Can I join a game
in progress? |
| |
Yes. You can currently
join any game in progress provided the
game has been running for one minute or
less. The game software will automatically
mark off and update your cards. You will
have just as good a chance of winning
as any other player.
Back
to Top... |
| |
 |
| |
How long does a game
last? |
| |
That depends on which
game you're playing. Bingo Central has
a new game every six minutes (ten games
per hour). In between games, our chat
leaders will often run chat games and
competitions.

 |
| |
How do I know the
game is not fixed? |
| |
BingoWorkz uses the
most modern and sophisticated bingo software
available anywhere. All cards and ball
calls are produced by a sophisticated
random number generator which cannot be
reprogrammed or tampered with. Our software
has been thoroughly audited and tested
in line with the biggest and best real
world bingo halls worldwide. Furthermore,
in the interests of fairness to all, we
do not allow any of our staff or family
members to play on our sites and we certainly
do not allow house players. Our games
are strictly fair and honest, and this
is supported by the fact that we have
far more players at the BingoWorkz network
than any other online bingo site anywhere!

 |
| |
When I log in, can
I remain anonymous? |
| |
Yes you can. When you register
and deposit at BingoWorkz , we ask you for
your real name, address and contact details.
This information is for our records only.
It helps us to ensure that all our players
are legitimate and is never made public.
At registration you are also required to
select a nickname and password. When you
enter the game, you are identified by the
nickname you have chosen. So unless you
choose to communicate with your fellow players
and pass on any personal information, there
is no way anyone should know who you really
are.

How long can
I play without being disconnected?
|
| |
Depending on your type
of ISP connection, you can stay in the
game for as long as you like. In fact,
as long as you've purchased cards in advance,
you don't even have to be at your computer.
Our game software will play every game
for you and automatically notify you of
any winnings. To buy cards in advance,
go to "Buy Cards" on the game site menu.
Back
to Top... |
| |
 |
| |
If my connection
fails, am I kicked out of the game? |
| |
Our software has been
programmed to track every card purchased
for every game played. So even if you're
disconnected, for whatever reason, your
cards will still be played and your winnings
will still be credited to your account.
As long as you have purchased cards, you
stand the same chance of winning as everybody
else, no matter what!
