1.Introduction
to the Rules
Our game rules and operating policies (hereinafter the "participating
rules") govern the use of any information taken or used
from our website, including your registration and participation
in any game (hereinafter the "game").

2.Fairness
Statement
The game system has been designed to be 100% fair
to all players. Unlike a Bingo hall where a player can YELL
Bingo and halt the game immediately, Internet Bingo is played
across the globe in many different time zones through a large
network of interconnected routers and satellite connections.
We want to ensure that when a player purchases a game card
they have every chance of winning and that the outcome of the
game is NOT affected by the:
- The speed
of one players internet connection over the other player
- The momentary
instability of the internet
- Physical
location on the globe
Our
developers have continued to evolve our award winning bingo
software into what we believe to be the fairest and most
reliable form of Bingo on the Internet. If you encounter
any technical problems or would like more information about
our games, please contact our help desk.
