Hi All,
has anyone ever played on A1?
I was asked to check it out so I did. they do have a free room where you can win 1.00. But I played for 8 hours with anywhere form 26 to 66 players and never won.
so i decided to get the "FREE" 5 bucks and check out the other rooms.
That was a joke. They have 3 other rooms 2 were 5c and one was 9c.
There were a total of 10 max playing in all rooms.
I thought wow maybe i would stand a chance.
LOL the same winner won 12 out of 13 games and the other three were won by the same person.
to this place.
You can buy in at anytime in the 5 cent rooms but not the 9c room.
Don't like that at all.
Well thats one more site i won't be going to .
Just thought I'd drop in and let you know.
I say ti this site.
thanks for listening.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Thank-you leeceesgrandma for the heads up on this site. I have nerver played there but will check it out.

Have a great day

I played there when it was testing so everything you won when it came live site you could play. during testing and after testing always same winners was more then enough to tell me do not ever deposit there. I see things have not changed glad i never invested any money there.

bigtimebingo is another weird one.. I went to sign in and my account was disabled. Live support told me I have 2 accounts registered there so I am permanently banned! It is their policy. Guess they dont need players that badly. They would not even delete one of them.

I have been in a beta testing for sites, and without fail they all end up with the same winners. Oh yes,,they play more often so they had a better chance of winning the "most games won", the most amount won, most specific patterns won, etc. I still havent figured out how a support person can tell me that another player has played more often than I have so quickly. When you have a question for support, in many instances, they want to refer you to someone else, telling you they know nothing about that. But this support person knew immediately that all the other players were way more busier than I was playing the games.That told me all I needed to know! LOL
I have yet to find a site that does NOT have the same consistent winners.
I am not talking about where they give the housies and bots a day off, I am talking overall during a window of about a month where the distribution of wins may be construed as reasonable enough that you can call it luck at work. I am still waiting for this.
When you can start predicting the next winner, it is time to get out of that site...or accept it as the price you pay for a good chat room and those great bonuses that are worth nothing! When I have determined that I would have a better chance of winning the state lottery than to get a bingo at a site, that is all i need to see.I dont care how many "testimonials" they have or how much they claimed to have given away..when they start telling you how much they have taken IN, I might consent to give them a bit of crediblity. This is a very big point to me, because it does not matter how many promises they make, how big the jackpots are, or how easy the withdrawal process is, if you just cant win, none of that matters one iota! It is all just flash and not a bit of cash!

I've been a member of A1bingo for about half a year i believe. I thought it was an ok site. Doesn't seem to be many players there. Had no problems with them, always received my cash-outs within a day. However, i'm waitin for my cash-out request for a few days now and there's been no response. Sent an e-mail, still waitin for a reply. I won't be surprised if they ignore the e-mail. A1bingo, Playtime, and Cashmill seem to be giving me the silent treatment for a week now.

Hi howax;

Boy am I on a roll today I owe you another apology for getting your name wrong in the cashmill thread.

If you want to either pm me the details or e-mail me at sherry@bingoplayersunion.com and let me know what is going on I will
see what I can do to assist you.

Thank-you in advance.

Players Unite. Unity is strength we can and will make change.

Lolz, thats np, i have a weird name :D

I replied to ur msg Sherry and ty for your time.

I was a player on A1 for long time. After the revolution in last Okt./ Nov. it seemed to be OK, but it has changed again. Same winners all the time, if you complain, they change name and win again. They have now restricted chat very hard, not much you can complain now in public. And from support or headcm you get same bla bla over and over again. Finally i told one of this winners, that others want to win too. Result: ban from chat LOL
After all the trouble I had and all the examinations i did, I consider this site as a money washing machine. Many people already left. Me too. If you check out my other posts, you will understand.

The same winner syndrome seems to be a problem at some sites. I know the standard answers are they max or they play more often etc etc etc. but I have yet to ride the so called wave maxing or playing a few cards. As for saying anything in chat
rooms some are very liberal while others have very strict rules of etiquette that is one area many of us overlook but I have started reading the rules of chat etiquette at some sites.

I have found that when players see the same winners all the time and they feel uncomfortable in chat rooms it is time to move on and try another site. Always remember whatever site you choose to play at read all the rules regarding bonuses, deposits and withdrawals.

I agree to move on, but be verbal when you do. Let the site management know what you have experienced and that you ae watching more closely because of it. If you leave a site because you are feeling uncomfortable with "same winner syndrome" let management know. If they do not respond to your email or ticket with a genuine answer, (not canned response), then bring it to the public eye. We are not censored here.

This way we can warn others ahead of time what they may encounter before visiting any particular site. Once again, I have yet to go to ANY site that doesn't have this problem, so I am still looking for possible explanations.

Hello Kalman I have just read your post and would like to say that the particular player that you attacked was very upset about your comments. I have also heard that you have made a lot of players stop coming into chat with your comments. I know a lot of my friends play at A1 and they actually think that chat is much better now that the whining has been curbed. The majority of players go into chat to take their mind of their own problems and the last thing they need is to see all this whining about same winners etc.
As Sissy stated
If you find a site then please let us all know at BPU so that we can all go there. Happy hunting Kalman

Believe what you want. I just state my opinion. Of course some arnt happy about it. Maybe you want to waste your money, ok, you can do that. But dont complain if others dont want to do same. We live in a free world, for luck. And nobody tells me what I have to think or say. If you dont like "whining", i wonder why you read this site. Its all about those things LOL .

Most site don't like what they have named "whining". That is because they want nothing negative in their chatroom. In a way this is understandable, but I think it would be unfair to say that those who DON'T win EVER like some of the "frequent winners" do, have a right to voice their opinions, in a mature way of course.

There are far less "frequent winners" than non winners. I see this everyday in my job. Some never complain, but keep it inside and just silently go away from a particular site. STILL it hurts the site as much, in my own opinion, than those who pop off in chat. The site has still lost a paying customer, whether they left because they couldn't win or they left because of chat that was unpleasant for them.

Hi Smoochies, welcome to BPU and nice to meet you :)



May I ask if this is talked about in chat?? Most sites I have ever been to, a good CM will stop chat about another player, if that player is not in the room. There is nothing wrong with one liking a site and one not for whatever reasons. But .... at BPU you can discuss anything pertaining to your experiences with an online bingo site without fear of being banned from here. BIG difference!

Hi Sissy, nice to meet you too.

No it wasn't talked about in chat as I rarely go into chat myself. This is from friends of mine that play there and have had it done to them.
I have also had my own personal experiences with players like Kalman and it isn't very nice at all. This is one of the reasons why I don't go into chat much now.
Every site has their whiners and I believe that a lot of them are trying to curb this, which in my opinion is a good thing, the bigger the site the bigger the whines.
If I don't like a site I leave and move on life is too short and there are so many other sites out there to try. The site in question is only a small site, which is what I like at the moment. I would love to see Kalman at one of the BIG sites !

At small site, where there are less than 20 players at a time, it seems to me that the frequent winners syndrome would be pretty much spread evenly between all those players, making all of them frequent winners.

At a large site with more than 40 people in a room (some sites have double that easily), you should actually see far less frequent winners because of the number of cards and players involved. Statistically, this is a fact. However, if you see the same two or three people winning with that number of players and cards involved, that should be your red flag warning that something is seriously wrong.

Most sites that you are registered at, you can open a game room, close chat, and not even buy cards to watch the winner box for each game show up. This will give you a 'feel' for what's going on at least.
