Your post sparked my curiosity on the odds also! Thanks to School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. For the following information.
Chances of Winning

Every BINGO game has a winning card, so a player's chances of winning depend on the number of cards in the game and how many cards s/he is playing. For example, if a player has 12 cards in a game with 1200 cards, the chances of winning for that player is 1 in 100.

So lets run the numbers just based on 200 players, playing the same game with 9 cards each.

200 players X 9 cards each = 1800 cards are in play for a game. Accourding to the statement by The University of Waterloo, in this so called Fair & Square game With Fair & Square meaning all players have the same amount of cards and therefore all have a 1 in 200 chance of winning. Granted! Yippee had 1 in 200 chance of having the winning card, but to win 5 times in 30 minutes against 199 other players is highly unlikely in a Fair & Square game!

This is great evidence to prove BingoVega’s RNG is somehow compromised. Some of the ways this is possibly done by giving house accounts more cards than regular players. This is done behind closed doors, so it’s not visible to us. Also the winner can be pre-chosen, by manipulating the software. But it definitely shows Vega’s free games are compromised. So if they compromise their free games, what do you think they do in their pay games, where you have no idea how many cards your cards are playing aginst?

So, here's my question...

If software is able to be manipulated (and we already KNOW it is)...then what good will regulation have on the manipulation of software? I can see how it would make it so that cashouts, rules, bonuses, and chat could be regulated.....but who would be able to prove software issues?

Sad, very very sad. It takes away some of my hope of ever seeing a TRULY regulated industry.

I sure hope so! It seems now that since the beginning of online bingo the possibility of cheating the players has been right at the sites' hands! And the majority of them are allowing manipulation to occur at their sites. SHAME ON THEM for taking advantage of their customers!

I realize I shouldn't lump ALL bingo sites together. I know there are honest ones out there, and I PERSONALLY thank them for keeping their practices above board. In the end, it's going to be sites like those that stay open and gain all the players from cheating sites.
