TOP and Jackpot games when required.

game prizes of course!!). You'll find our

A Bonus
Buck is simply free money. We give away
as much of it as we can! You can earn BB's
in any number of ways: by opening a new
account and making a deposit, by introducing
your friends to AmericaBingo, winning contests
or simply by being in chat and playing our
special games. Use your Bonus Bucks just
like cash to have fun playing slots, poker,
buy cards, or play any one of our mini games.
You cannot withdraw it, but you sure can
use it to win real CASH. Come and get yours
now!!

|
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. 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 is 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!
Back to Top... |
| |
 |
|
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? |
| |
AmericaBingo
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 AmericaBingo 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 AmericaBingo
, 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!
