I make a living writing reviews on various
gaming sites you can find on the internet. This includes both casino and bingo
sites as well. While I did write a positive NewBingoBilly review many years
back, there have been off late many complaints about the site. Players have
been accusing the site of withholding cash prizes which in my opinion is the
worst thing a professionally run company can be accused of. I do agree even
well run companies will face delays in releasing player playments once in a
while but if it is going to happen time and again like I have been reading in
some of the new NewBingoBilly review articles published by the players
themselves, then I think its high time to visit the site as a player
again.
During my first stint with NewBingoBilly
which was many years ago, I had a lot of good things to say about the site.
They crew behind the company were capable and up to the task and the quality of
gaming too was not bad, I was having lots of fun. The fact that this was one of
the first bingo sites to release on the web and they managed to get a lot of
things right. Right from their playing software, the site design to ease of
play along with a list of other issues, I managed to make decent amounts of
moey from the site and player payments were also done on time.
However this time though I gather things
wouldn’t be the same and I need to be prepared to be disappointed. And that’s
what happened and to be frank it was even worse than I had originally imagined.
For starters, the site still looks the same compared to what it looked almost
ten years ago. The company has done nothing to get designers to keep up with
changing times. However when it came to deposits, they have considered
inflation and charged accordingly. Then I downloaded the playing software which
again back in the day got great points in my NewBingoBilly review but is
woefully inadequate now. I keep playing
with all kinds of gaming sites and hence I could really see how badly the site
needed a make over. Simply said on both aesthetic and a functional level,
NewBingoBilly had miles to go when compared to some of their competitors. Only people who are running an online scam
will continue to keep things in such a shoddy condition because they just don’t
care how the site ends up as long as they are able to swindle their monthly
quota of customers.
With half a heart, I signed up as a member
just because I had to write this NewBingoBilly review. The site had three
bingo rooms just like before. The only difference now was that there were
hardly any players playing. Back there used to be a decent crowd even on
weekends which was quite something when you consider online gaming was still
long way from being popular.
Then as I started playing, there was only
one other player and I just kept making the moves and was on my way to winning
when I saw a third player emerge out of nowhere. This person did some amazing
moves over the next five minutes which should have made him the luckiest person
on the planet because every guess he made turned out to be right which should
be impossible statistically. The next thing I would be writing in my
NewBingoBilly review is that the site is obviously rigged. They have meddled
with the playing software in such a way that house players can ensure players like
me don’t walk away with the money. I was already so vexed with this site that I
could not come to understand how some players continued to play on it for
months even when the site was not releasing their payments.
I managed to make nearly $500 by the end of
the month and I was sure they wouldn’t pay because that seemed to be the
biggest complaint about the site in almost every NewBingoBilly review I read.
And sure enough, that’s what happened. When I called in customer care, to see
how they respond, I came to know that the management changed hands and they
replaced almost the entire team. I guess the new guys in power are a bunch of
scammers since they are hiding in some third world country to avoid prosecution
for their online scams in countries like the UK and the US.
