voted Which Bingo ‘Site of the Year’ 2004!!!

WB: Tell us a little bit about your site.

Bingonanza.com was launched in February of 2003. Since our launch we have grown to become one of the most respected and trusted bingo sites on the internet today. And it’s the players who have spoken up based on the awards we have won.

* Which Bingo ‘Site of the Year’ Award 2004 – 4th place

* Which Bingo ‘New Site of the Year’ in 2003 - Winner

* Which Bingo ‘Site of the Year’ Award 2003 – 6th place

* Twice voted ‘Site of the Month’ at Which Bingo (October 2003 and July 2004)

We have earned a great reputation for our fast and reliable payouts and the fact that we don’t have any play-through rules. If you win, you can cash out, even if you won on the first game right after you made a deposit. This is just one of the many reasons why bingo players are finding Bingonanza to be their #1 choice for safe, secure online bingo fun!

We’re often asked where the Bingonanza name came from. When it came time for a name, our goal was to create something original and memorable. Anyone can put a word either in front of or after the word ‘bingo’, but we wanted something totally different. In many bingo halls and clubs, a ‘bonanza’ game is very common and usually a highlight of the evening, so it seemed natural to combine the words ‘bingo’ and ‘bonanza’ together to create a unique and new word – and Bingonanza was created.

WB: What games do you offer?

Our bingo games are available in a Flash version, and our popular download version will be available again in the very near future.

We offer three regular bingo rooms: the Emerald Room, our 25¢ room; the Sapphire Room, our 5¢ room; and the Pearl Room, our free bingo room. In addition, we also have tournament and special rooms. The Diamond Room is our high roller room and currently home to the monthly $4,000 Saturday Night Bonanza, and the weekly $1,600 Triple Play Tuesday. The cards in this room vary from 50¢ to $1.00. The Lava Lounge is host to our bingo tournaments, including the $2,500 Magma Monday Bingo Eruption. Seats for games in this room are usually won or are part of a buy-in tournament. Every Wednesday, our Voodoo Lounge opens to allow players to seek vengeance on our caller, Dufus. All games in this room are free and award prizes ranging from $5 - $10, with the hourly coverall starting at $20.

We’re constantly introducing new contests and promotions where players can win more cash and prizes, including every night in the Emerald Room from 8PM – 12 Midnight ET where all games have a minimum prize of $50, and our popular Bingonanza 500 Speedball Tournament where the winner receives $500 cash! But you can find all the details on our Promotions page.

WB: What ‘New Player’ incentives do you offer?

All new players at Bingonanza receive a 150% deposit bonus on their first two deposits.

WB: What ‘On-going Player’ incentives do you offer?

Once a player registers and deposits at Bingonanza, they become part of our Ultra Club Program and receive loyalty points for their wagers. These points can be used to redeem for Ultra Club rewards ranging from Bonus Bucks to restaurant and store gift cards to electronics and other merchandise. They can also be accumulated to receive higher deposit bonuses. The deposit bonuses range from 50%-100% - the more loyalty points, the higher the deposit bonus.

Also part of the Ultra Club is our monthly cash comp program for VIP players. At the end of the month, players with net deposits of $750 or more receive a cash comp to thank them for their loyalty to our site.

Our referral program encourages players to refer their friends and family to play at Bingonanza. Players can order unique Bingonanza branded reward cards, and hand them out. They enter their Bingonanza Account ID on the back of each card. When their friend registers and deposits, the referring player earns a 20% bonus on any amount their friend deposits during the first 180 days at the site.

WB: What deposit methods do you offer?

It’s easy to fund at Bingonanza. We offer a variety of convenient funding options, including: Visa; MasterCard; NETeller; Citadel, FirePay; PrePaidATM; money transfers; wire transfers; and money order.

WB: Tell us about your Jackpot games and Progressives.

Unlike many sites which offer Progressive Jackpots that build and build and are very hard to win, our Progressive Jackpots are very winnable! The Emerald Room Progressive Jackpot is won an average of 3.5 times per month, and the Sapphire Room Progressive an average of 2 times per month. The largest Emerald Room Progressive we awarded was for $960.78 to chloe123, and in the Sapphire Room, the largest Progressive we’ve awarded was $298.18 won by Scottie.

Also, every hour of the day we feature an hourly coverall in the Emerald Room with a $1,000 prize up for grabs. In the Sapphire Room there’s a $250 coverall every hour.

WB: What is the largest prize you have ever given away?

On Sunday, October 3, 2004 Bingonanza gave away our highest ever cash prize of $5,051.50 on the Trolling for Treasure slots game to miata4me! Here's what she had to say about her amazing win:

"Hopelessly addicted... you betcha!!!! Last night I funded $100 and after a wild roller coaster ride of winning and losing the most amazing thing happened. Five little treasure chests all in a row!! My inlaws were in town to see their new great grandchild, so not to be completely rude I told them a fib and said I needed to do a report for work. Here I sat trying to bingo in Sapphire and Emerald, and Trolling For Treasure in slots, sipping on a glass of wine. I looked down, lost my breath, minimized the window, looked around the room... took another sip, maximized the window, choked and spat wine all over the place! $5,000 in my account!!! Told the family wine went down the wrong way! Jumped into chat (of course it was frozen!) fumbled around and all I could type was omg omg omg for about 5 lines. GH Eden and all the roomies were going nuts and of course I was, and still am in shock! Fortunately we were watching a funny show. I just laughed harder and longer than anyone else in the room! Still none of the family knows! But in Trolling For Treasure I could not have made a better catch at a better time!!! Thanks to all my Bingonanza family! and shhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell my family!"

WB: Tell us about your Chat team and the chat games played.

We like to say we have the best Game Hosts on the Net! Headed up by GH Renee, the team includes (in no order at all!) GH Eden, GH Vicki, GH April, GH Henn, GH Kris, GH Jerri, GH John, GH Blanche, GH Meo and GH Gina. Most of our GHs were players at the site before they came to work for us, giving them a great perspective on what it’s like to be a newbie, to be on a losing streak, and (much better of course!) to be on a winning streak. Of course, they gave up playing at the site once they started to work for us, making it fair for everyone.

They play an amazing myriad of chat games, ranging from Beat Dufus (a cumulative jackpot game that can last for days, and pay out in the hundreds of Bonus Bucks) to Gecko Races and General Trivia. Some of the players’ favorites include Big Time Nabors, Bite Me Dufus, Chase Dufus, I Need a Shower, and Beat Dufus. Can you guess how much our players like Dufus, our caller?

Chat games are played in the Emerald Room from 6AM-2AM ET, and the Sapphire Room from 8PM-12 Midnight. There are no lifetime limits for Chat BBs that a player can earn.

WB: Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about your site?

Rather than us tell you, we though it would be appropriate to include some quotes and testimonials from our players – the people whose opinions really count…

“On Saturday July 9th, 2005 I was extremely tired, so I bought some cards and went to bed. I've done this several times before and checked the next day to see whether my name might be up there as one of the winners. It had never happened before, so I thought, "well I guess the big wins are not for me". Oh me of little faith!! I was quite humbled to wake up the next morning, sign on to the Bingonanza web-site and see my alias with a $1,000 win next to it. Being a person of faith, I gave a joyful prayer of thanks (my alias is actually a figure of speech meaning 'blessings from God'). I really do feel that the team at Bingonanza are innovative and creative in the programme of games offered. It's exciting to see new things happening all the time. It never gets routine or dull. I must also pay tribute to the game hosts for the professional, warm and witty approach to what they do. Many thanks, and to those who feel 'it will happen to others and not to me', just like I did, then I'm living proof that we can all share in the blessings!”

“This is the first site I have ever gone online to play bingo at. Bingonanza is the best!! Since I started playing bingo online, I have tried other sites. No other site matches this site. The GH's make you feel special and are always cheering you on. I know they are not rooting just for me, but they always make me feel like they are. This is the friendliest site I have ever been on. Sometimes when I do not even have money to play with, I just drop in to say "hi." I feel like this is my extended family. My husband recently got hurt in Iraq and Bingonanza was where I went for moral support. I haven't won big yet, but I have seen many wins and know my win is coming. Thanks again Bingonanza, and especially the GH's!!”

“On Jan. 15/04 I found this site listed in whichbingo.com as a top site of the year… I am so pleased with this site that I feel the need to touch on every aspect of it. I've enjoyed playing here immensely and the game hosts are wonderful. They quickly answer questions and always keep you posted on what games are currently in progress. Thank you so much Vicki, Renee, April, and Eden! I like their set up with trouble tickets and Administration/Support quickly respond to any queries. There is such a wide variety of chat games and some bring about so much laughter - of course the BBs to be won are an added bonus. I've met many people here and have felt welcome since day one. I am extremely impressed (more like amazed!) with their quick payouts. If slots, video poker or pull tabs are your thing, they offer them also. On Feb. 25th I joined in on their 1st Birthday Party for the fun and games and along came the icing on the cake (birthday cake that is!). I won half the $1,000 jackpot! Thank you Bingonanza as I'm using these winnings to take my family to Niagara Falls. Have fun and good luck everyone!”
