My first experience with online
gaming was New Bingo Billy and it turned out to be completely horrible. The
site turned out to be a massive scam and gave me the run around for months. I
was a novice back then and quite unaware about how sites like New Bingo Billy
operate. While I knew that I needed to be careful while joining online gaming
sites, I never understood the kind of scams these companies orchestrated. So in
that way, my experience with New Bingo Billy turned out to be a huge wake up
call.
I joined the site after I saw an ad
while surfing the web. These were offering nice welcome deposit schemes to new
players. Users could get an extra 200 percent on their deposit which means for
a deposit of $100, I could get an additional $200 bringing the total to $300.
As far as I checked none of the sites offered this scheme. I wanted to take
full advantage of the package and decided to join. I didn’t realize back then
that this scheme was available all though the year 24/7. I hot the first shock
after joining. There were hardly any players using the site. They also had only
3 bingo rooms of which only 2 of them were frequented. The third one was empty
most of the time.
Even the two rooms never had more
than 15 players in total and that was disappointing. I am not a bug businessman
but even I knew if you don’t have customers you are going to have all sorts of
problems. I could already see myself filing several NewBingo Billy game complaints in the coming days.
Still I decided to keep playing since I
already made the deposit and that was non-refundable. There were hardly any
tournaments all through the first month. There were a couple of them during the
weekends and the prize money was just $8000. Fortunately, during the weekend
more people turned up to play the game and I thought there was an interesting
game ahead. To my surprise my luck was in and I was on
my way to winning. Then suddenly out of nowhere a new player emerges out of
nowhere and walks away with the prize money. I would bet on my life that it was
a house player. But there was nothing I could do about and I wasn't going to make any New
Bingo Billy game complaints just yet. I just decided to
collect my consolation check of $350 at the end of the month.
I had anyway run through my deposit and I
saw no point in playing more when the site had nothing fun to offer. This was
apparently a mistake because at the end of the month, the company refused to
send my check since I violated playing regulations by not playing. I was taken
by surprise and filed New Bingo Billy game complaints with the support team.
They also argued that I should have followed the rules. The biggest shock here
being that this NEW set of rules were brought into effect only last week and
the players were kept completely on the down low. I was seething with rage.
They said after deducting penalty charges, I would get only $200 in earnings. I
said fine and told them to send the check. But the site was not done with
tormenting me.
This time, they had to make a security verification. I was told
it would take a few days and the check would be mine once the security
verifications was completed.
It took them 90 days to complete that and
after a number of phones calls, I finally got my check for $120. They deducted
more money and I am not even sure for what. Over the course of the last few
months, I had filed multiple New Bingo Billy game complaints with the company.
In the end, this was all way too much hassle for 100 bucks.
The only silver lining being here is that
experience of being conned proved to be valuable. I ensured to do a thorough background research all future
sites that caught my interest. Its been 2 years and I have been able to avoid having to make any more New Bingo Billy game complaints.
