First off, hello all. I am new, just signed up today. I have been reading the forum for a few days now and trying to see just what is what....or if this is a forum purposely created by mad bingo players who didn't win as much as they would like. We all know playing online bingo is just a form of entertainment, or should know that. There are very few who have ever gotten rich off of gambling or made a profit from it. To me it has to be viewed as a form of entertainment only. Some choose to go out to eat and a movie, I choose to spend my money online playing bingo or slots.

I dont know if this is the appropiate place for this, but I did want to say this much...from what I have read and observed here, you all could do more good if you acted more professional. When you are attacked, to try to 'one up' the other person looks juvenile to me. There is always two sides to a story and both will claim the other one lied or falsified things. Especially on the net, many things can be manipulated, so called 'proofs'. Screen shots can too.

I guess what I am saying is ...I play at BingoVega, and have been for awhile. You have NOT convinced me of anything. I even believe I know the player who you are 'representing'. I know this will probably just get deleted, and thats ok, I know at least someone read it.

All I can say here is ~ it is your money. We can not force folks to believe what all we saw nor can we ever stop them regardless. However, if & when the time comes ( if ) please don't say you were not warned. Bingovega does not have just 1 bad complaint but many and multiple players. It is not just at BPU you read things, it is at other reputable forums regarding Bingovega and their ripping players off but,,,,,,,,, keep funding, it couldn't possibly happen to you. ](*,)

hello justdontknow, its nice to meet you O:)
your post will not be deleted....we believe in letting people give their opinions, as long as they do not get carried away and vindictive in the process. This forum wasnt made to hurt anyone, but rather to help people who have no other recourse.
Some do view online gambling as entertainment, and some take it very seriously....that is up to the individual.
I know that a good amount of online gamblers are people who are disabled...elderly....or have some other reason why they choose to gamble online, and many listen to advertisements and emails that promise them fair chances.
If you feel its all about entertainment then that is great....
but not everyone feels the same.
Unfortunatly we can not show everyone the screenshots of vega, there are privacy issues involved. We of course would not be pushing the issue so hard if we did not see a reason, we are not that way.
As far as being professional, - well we are just a group of volunteers joining together with the only other recourse we have....forums.
We differ in opinions and views and we come together to agree as a team on the evidence we are shown, we may not always seem professional but the bottom line is that it works because we are just like everyone else.
There is no manual or handbook, but we do what we think is right and have helped a lot of people and bingo sites as well.
again we thank you for your opinion and welcome to BPU O:)

Yes welcome justdontknow! We take Player issues here seriously! We are very professional in our approach and will search for the truth, no matter where it leads. If you disagree with our finding of Vega, I suggest you search the other leading forums. They all say Vega is corrupt, so we are not alone in this!

If You enjoy playing at Vega, that is your concern! We are only here to get the truth out to those that need some direction.. If we have not convinced you Vega is corrupt, perhaps you need to expand your knowledge of Vega and Google it.

It's apparent you came here only to stick up for Vega! That is your right and we respect that =D>

We wont delete you because you disagree with us! You are free to post as you like, as long as it does not turn into a personal attack of any individual! We are all adults here.

Hi ya justdont know,
While I agree with you that online bingo can be entertaining, it is certainly NOT true that people dont make or lose thousands in this little "entertainment". Online bingo is a huge industry that rakes in millions every year, it is not a friendly little game to while away your free time. If a person treats it that way, they rarely win and end up dribbling away hundreds of dollars in a short time. And then consoling themselves with the idea that they had a "good time" and made some great friends. Most die hard bingo players are committed to winning,first of all, then perhaps chatting it up.
When I hear paying players make remarks like " I dont care if I win or lose, I just like the company and the game", that tells me they are either social derelicts in the real world, are starving for human company, or are just plain liars. If yu dont care about winning or losing,,play bingo games that are only for fun! It really doesnt make any sense to give money to someone just for the privelege of seeing others win it and being happy and accepting about it day after day unless your a masochist! lol
I hope you never have a problem there or at any bingo site, but with the time approaching for American players to stop depositing, there are going to be many changes and rules that will allow sites to recover what they lost with the loss of American players. They are a business, not an entertainment industry... be aware of that and do not delude yourself just because many have disclaimers saying they are there only for entertainment...YES..they are! their entertainment when they pocket your money....that entertains the hell out of them.
Whether you choose to believe it or not,, there are sites that will and do cheat the depositing players. It is great to find a site you can trust and feel comfortable at,,but dont be a pollyanna!!! :-k

Welcome justdontknow. Happy to have you with us and to hear your views.. Good luck to you always no matter where you choose to play!

Just be careful, and remember, if you need our assistance at a later date. we are here for you!

I am just me, but when I did play online bingo, yes it was fun... but not nearly so much fun during the losing times. Like stated above, when I pay to play I want to win. Sometimes I did and sometimes I didn't, but it was still the thrill of "gambling" that enticed me to play as long as I did.

Like many, the "free" games just do not hold that "rush" of winning for me. I played to win, as I do when gambling at anything.

Anyway welcome...

Every single gambling facility will have complaints, whether it be on the net or land. Evern single gambling facility is getting rich, one reason why US government wants to start taxing the indians that own them. It IS entertainment to me, something I want to spend my money on, and yes, do love to win, I'd be lying if I said I didnt. dynamitewoman, you have your opinion how you view it and I have mine, but I will not get into a name calling, slinging match with you. That is what I was talking about, how that looks, in my first statement. Its like a lawyer representing a client, you have to be professional in the situation, even though you might know for a fact this client is guilty, or you will come across as looking like an idiot.

I kinda have to snicker at this in a way. People come on here and say you shouldn't say this or you shouldn't say that. For example...
If i come on here and say " Hey Cya...you are the B word" should Cya not respond to that? I know if something called me a name or called me a liar I would definitely have something to say back to them. Everyone that posts here you have to remember is just like you...sitting at a desk, reading a forum from their monitor. They are a person too, with feeling and stresses of regular life. So if you read something and don't agree (which some people dont and or do) and choose to stick up for the site they are talking about, maybe you've had a bad day and sound harsh in your words...how should that person respond?

I didn't see anyone saying anything harsh in this thread. Anyone that has posted wished you good luck and just offered their opinions on you doing some research on Vega outside of this forum. I myself would never play there. I'm never been a member. I've been playing online bingo for a few years now and seen Vega on a Casino BlackList so chose to stay away. It's my money and I didn't want to take a bigger risk in losing it, just in case. I've been doing my own research lately and all I can say is WOW. It's amazing what you can find if you let your fingers do the typing.

I am not in the profession of taking money to defend a guilty party, or at least defending someone that is unfamiliar with truth. However, If I were, that would be my job and I would do it to the best of my ability.
That is what I would get PAID for. the same as bingo sites, chat hosts, and affiliates get paid to respond very positively and upbeat with proclamations of honesty and fairness. It is up to the individual player to investigate, evaluate and ascertain if what they say is remotely connected with the concept of truth.
It is all in the eye ( or pocket) of the beholder. I do not like the weekly deposit rules to play chat games.Many dont mind that at all. I dont like playthru rules at all, much less ridiculous ones. Some dont mind them at all and even consider them fair. I really dont like heavily monitored chatrooms where your words are sifted and censored by a chat host or some background device. Some consider that a safe haven and dont mind the " do as your told" attitude.
There are many variables to sort thru to find what is suited for you, but any site that has openly disregarded the rights of players or attempted to cheat ,or has cheated (with documented proof) is clearly a site to avoid.
That would only take one instance for me to see, I dont need several bricks to fall on my head. I do not consider myself above being taken for a ride by a bingo site no matter how long I been playing there or how many "friends" I have there. It is all business with them and it is my
business to not get taken. \:D/

I have no intention of getting into name-calling and that was not my purpose in expressing my opinion. All I can say about that is..if the shoe fits........ the foot jumps up. It was generic rhetoric not directed at anyone in particular as most of the forum posts are.

FYI Justdontknow,

I do not believe you know me. That's not possible. When I played on Bingovega, I only played that one deposit and I don't believe I even played Bingo. Only slots. Even so, if I did play a couple of bingo games, I did not chat. I never chatted with the other players on any games I played. Just wasn't interested in interacting with them. So, you see whoever you THINK I am, you are wrong.

Another thing, the only "screen shots" received by BPU was from Mike the floorman, none were furnished to them from me.

I sincerely hope you never get cheated by any online gaming site! I would not wish anyone to endure that kind of treatment.

None of the online gaming sites are regulated by any kind of laws to enforce they do the players right, because most are based overseas and they can chose to pay you, or chose to keep your winnings and there is really nothing you can do about it.

I was a "one-timer" at Vega who deposited $75.00 and won approximately $1,200.00. Now, I am sure Mr. Mike Floorman would more than likely pay someone their winnings who had been a regular player and he knew would redeposit and spend it back to him. I was not one of those people. I would have taken my winnings had he paid me and probably would have never played there again.

So, you can believe me, you can chose not to believe me. I hope you do not have to find I was telling the facts by being cheated yourself.

Take care.

Gmeplyr if you see this message, I hope you are doing well. Here we are over a year later dealing with the "same old same old" with Bingo Vega who STILL isn't paying some of their players.

Your story and YoYoDidIt aka BingoGirls story have a lot in common. You were not a big time depositor there and although she deposited several times, her withdrawal amounts were small. But when she wanted ALL of her money, it was a different story. If memory serves, it was the same with you... when you wanted your winnings BingoVega didn't want to pay you so they closed your account.

BPU will continue to expose them as a non responsive, extremely poor customer service & management site. We will continue to remind players that MANY have been ignored, lied to, blackmailed, and cheated out of their winnings by BingoVega.
