BingoPlayersUnion.com is a group of dedicated volunteers aligned with the purpose of creating and maintaining a neutral environment for site owners and managers, players, members and guests to share experiences and information regarding all aspects of the online bingo industry. Our goal is to provide a forum platform to stimulate and promote cooperative effort, assist in resolution, promote unity, fairness, and achieve an acceptable quality of assurance in the non-regulated online gaming entertainment venue for everyone involved.
Always wanted to move to Costa Rica, but I guess I learned something new today with this post. Looks like you need to verify the country of origin as not CR for your bingo playing experience.
Other than a DNS search and trying to find where the servers are located is there anyway to know where the site is incorporated?

OK so who is WU going to prosecute? Are they going after the player who simply used them to transfer the money to the gaming site or are they going after the site owners?
To me I don't see where they could get much out of the prosecution unless they have a penalty clause contained somewhere in their TOS.

OK so we are back to my math questions again.
If a site is raking in $200 for every $50 payout. Then something is totally remiss. I don't even think that Vegas or the old stand alone card machines are that crooked. Effectively you are relegated to a 20% win total. Meaning that to cash out at $200 you most likely had to wager around $1000.
So where are the online casinos that offer a fair shot at winning, at least somewhere in the 40 - 45% range so that the bingo guys are making 5% and the players are staying interested.

Is there anyway to find out or get a list of the sites that they iPlay guys have acquired? Or is there another thread that I have missed outlining this particular situation.

Although further up in the topics here AmigoBingo is shown as being connected to StarsandStripesBingo and "possibly" connected to BestDamnBingo, it has been shown that StarsandStripes is definitely networked to BestDamn. As you know, networked means that all of their sites end up at the same bingo games, rooms, chats, etc, just like WBN does among others. They aren't individual sites that are sisters but separate.
Over the last few weeks, I've been logging into BestDamn (never deposited there) on average twice a week or so. Today I went to the BestDamn site to log in again, and was immediately whisked away to the StarsandStripes homepage where I used my BestDamn log in info and was then taken to exactly the same game room page I became familiar with at BestDamn, but now I am at StarsandStripes instead.
There was no page that would normally come up saying the BestDamn site was down and that I was being redirected....it was an instaneous redirection as if BestDamn didn't/doesn't exist at all.
The homepage at StarsandStripes was promoting the same 500% deposit bonus that we came to be familiar with that BestDamn usually offers....
Just a heads up........and a warning to stay away from this network.

IDIOTS & RETAIL
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.
IDIOTS & GEOGRAPHY
After interviewing a particularly short-spoken job candidate, I described the person to my boss as rather monosyllabic. My boss said, "Really? Where is Monosyllabia?". Thinking that he was just kidding, I played along and said that it was just south of Elbonia. He replied, "Oh, you mean over by Croatia?"
ADVICE FOR IDIOTS
An actual tip from page 16 of the Hewlett Packard Environmental, Health & Safety Handbook for Employees: "Blink your eyelids periodically to lubricate your eyes."
IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: Many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS & COMPUTERS
My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
IDIOTS ARE EASY TO PLEASE
I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented that the next day would be the shortest day of the year. My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I explained to her that the amount of daylight changes, not the actual amount of time. Needless to say, she was very disappointed.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
AN IDIOT'S IDIOT
Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

I complete agree with advocate's statement, no one can tell us who to make friends or what to do and what not to........ everyone should be freely socializing with their mates because this is life and BINGO is the platform to it. But few people just need money so those who do not give out msn messengers or emails should not be considered as friends. So guys be a part of bingo and enjoy life rather than only playing games! 
cheers

General Daily Horoscope
The conservative Capricorn Moon reminds us to move cautiously by delaying pleasure so our lives work more sensibly and instability doesn't get in the way of success. Still, we slowly gain momentum throughout the day, increasing productivity as we go along. Confidence builds as the Moon sextiles fortunate Jupiter and mental Mercury. However, we may take it too far as Mercury forms an anxious sesquisquare with impatient Mars later in the day.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
It feels like one minute you have the patience of a saint and the next moment you're climbing the walls with anticipation. You honestly don't know whether to scream out of frustration or laugh joyously because you are so excited about your future. Your friends might be wondering about you these days, but their concern could quickly turn into admiration as you come alive over the next few weeks.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 - May 20)
You may be rather subdued now as you settle into a steady pace at work. You're less concerned with recognition for your extra efforts today than you are about getting the job done right. Others may look to you as an example of what it means to be a team player because you are willing to trade anonymity for the overall success of a project.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 - Jun 20)
You could feel the discomfort of being observed today because you currently seem to attract attention no matter what you do. But as you become more accustomed to being on stage, your inner performer could come out to play. There's nothing wrong with having the spotlight on you for a while, but being too expressive can make others uneasy. A smarter strategy would be to downplay your role and share the recognition with your co-workers so that everyone feels appreciated.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 - Jul 22)
It's important to respect the power of the system and follow the rules now, even if they don't make sense to you. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. There will be time later to question authority, but rebellious behavior today won't likely make you any friends or influence those who matter. Think about your words before you say anything, for a slip of the tongue can start a verbal landslide that you would be wise to avoid.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
You may have already decided that some things are best left unsaid. You know better, but it's just too tempting to say what's on your mind today, especially if your words are able to even the score. It's not that you are holding a grudge; it's just that you could have a bit of unexpressed anger that needs clearing as Mars prepares to turn direct in your sign tomorrow. Just remember to be kind in your delivery.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
You are usually very astute in your thinking, but others could confuse you now, even if your logic is sound. At first you might question your own ability to interpret what's being said, but as you listen more carefully you begin to realize that you are not the problem. If someone starts talking in circles today, your best response is to avoid direct engagement, even if it means walking away.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
You may not understand how a warm relationship could cool off so quickly, but you still might be at odds today with a close friend or partner. Fortunately, a business disagreement or lover's spat won't likely last too long now if you can maintain respect for each other. It's a good idea to allow enough space to process any hard feelings instead of trying to force a quick resolution. Tempers might flare during an intense discussion, so it's best to return to the conversation tomorrow once emotions have settled down.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
You might have a serious debate over a creative issue with someone at work today. What makes this so difficult is there's no right or wrong answer, just a difference of opinion. Nevertheless, you may become discouraged if you feel as if you are not being heard. Don't take your fight too far. But if you are overruled, at least make sure that your ideas have been acknowledged before you let go and move on.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
Although you may have recently cooled your jets in order to stabilize your current position, today you begin to see new opportunities for growth. Hopefully, you have learned your lesson and won't run too fast with an idea before you give it enough time to go through a sensible development process. But there's a real danger that you could quickly become obsessed with your scheme and talk of nothing else. Ultimately, it's a better strategy to downplay your plan until next week.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
You might decide that biding your time makes more sense now than running around like crazy trying to accomplish the impossible. You may feel like you are attempting to make a river flow up a hill and you could exhaust yourself in the process. Don't fight the currents now, even if they carry you in the wrong direction. The tides are about to change; be patient and let them do the work.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
You are feeling better about a relationship now, even if there are still a few significant differences to be ironed out. Fortunately, you have the sense to realize that it's okay to have diverging opinions on how to handle a specific issue. What's more important is that your core values are similar. After establishing some common ground, agree to disagree on the specifics and move on to what's next.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
You may be in an agreeable state of mind, but the more you say today, the more conflict is fomented. Paradoxically, arguments seem to heat up as you attempt to avoid them. Part of the problem is that you are probably more undecided about an important issue than you realize and your uncertainty comes across in your communication. If you aren't sure, just say so; it will minimize your frustration and your headaches.

Thought for the day
March 9,2010
I can still see the post, I thought it was removed? hehe. Hey man, where do you play online bingo?
Posted on:Tue Mar 09, 2010 5:37 am
oooh "numbers". I'll check that out, need to torture myself mentally later 
Posted on:Tue Mar 09, 2010 5:34 am
OK I can't help but comment. Are there not plenty of free chat rooms on the internet flashing banner ads and other types of ads to make money. The Bingo rooms are games much as Vegas slots are games. These are for entertainment, but I can't imagine just dropping money into something so that I could talk.
Do you really know people who are not looking to cash out? I can't understand the thought pattern myself.
Posted on:Mon Mar 08, 2010 10:13 pm
stressmon yes this site does have some great tips that can help you make decisions as to where not to play. I check in here often.
Posted on:Mon Mar 08, 2010 8:37 pm
Hi Stressmom,
I've played at Bingomania for years and have never had a problem withdrawing my winnings. I recently played at New Bingo Billy and they don't seem to have those requirements. I never won enough to make a withdrawal, but I'm figuring there won't be a problem.
BTW, I emailed Bingohall to close my account a couple of months ago. I checked recently and it's still open. I guess I'm going to have to call them and tell them to close my account. First I have a hard time collecting my money and now I'm having a hard time closing my account. Ridiculous.

hey none of these sound exactly fair especially for newbies like me- is any of this regulated?
