Not what it was back in the beginning
I really hate writing bad or not so great reviews, but when the shoe fits...oh well. This game use to be really fun to play, rooms weren't super easy to beat-but it sure wouldn't eat up your chips the way it does now either! Somewhere along the lines, this company-as all on Facebook somehow become, got super greedy...and quickly!
I started to count just how many games it would take to play..just to finish a room now...and it is over 90 + games!?! You can't sell off extras from your rooms for coin or chips, it is impossible now to to NOT spend money just to play this game because you end up trying to complete a room and the cost to chip amount has become at best-skimpy. To make it worse, daily rewards have become less and less(after playing for 3 years now, all I get on a daily reward is 34 chips so far...yep) while the rooms have gone up and up for buying cards?!?
I get there are those people out there who can throw $500-$1000 a month to a game, but is sure I can't! There are several rooms that the card cost for 4 cards can top out at 20 and go up to 75 or even 100 chips a play!
There is still some fun, but it is waning fast. I just really don't want to have to request a bunch of people who may or may not help out in a game, to become my "friend" just to earn a higher reward amount daily! Also, there is a known glitch with those of us on iPads, yes the game dept knows about this issue...but it has been over 5 months now, and nothing has been addressed to fix this issue! What's the issue? If you are on the iPad, you can NOT seem to collect gifts from people sending you times to finish rooms and unless you know exactly what room you were in, once you bounce out to gift someone an item, you can't find your way back to that room!? The games are also known to freeze up horribly on the iPad, which will cost you a LOT of chips and rewards! These are just a few issues I have seen with the game, aside that the developers went and made a huge deal out of the power ups, which can also run an arm and a leg to guarantee you get what you really want. Fun? Yeah, I suppose...but also costly!
Greedy, Rigged & Waste of Time
STOP step away from this App.. I’d give it zero stars if I could! Since the current owners purchased Playtika every single possible aspect of the game has been rigged. They say luck and chance but statistics say they lie! They changed the daily spin and rigged it so it hits 5000 coins or some other useless gift 90% of the time. 14 equal spots on the wheel yet daily it hits the same useless item! Logic and statistics dictate this to be impossible. The game is PREDETERMINED. You will only win if they have predetermined you will win. You will win a LOT at first and then you will LOSE LOSE LOSE. Every update comes with a new rig. Their employees and pets have a different algorithm so they repeatedly win and take bingos from the every day player. You can’t log in without multiple pop ups saying BUY BUY BUY. Buy credits, buy dice, buy diamonds, buy blasters, buy power ups, etc.
They have the worst customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. Someone forgot to tell them they are supposed to keep the customers happy. If their game malfunctions you don’t get your credits back. You get a token gesture that you’re supposed to just accept. Support tickets often take weeks sometimes a month or more for a reply. Often times no resolution at all!
I have little doubt that they post fake positive reviews to maintain their #1 status. They claim they don’t use algorithms and everything is left to luck and chance but even their own employees when rating the company on Glassdoor say they use algorithms. This was once a great game with lots of happy players but now it’s a shell of what it once was and players are deleting this game in droves. From all appearances this company does not care if you are unhappy or leave the game as the more long time players that leave the less of us there are to tell new players what it used to be and they have no way to compare!
For a so called “Free” game it sure is expensive if you actually want to play! And if you don’t want to Pay to Play you still have to contend with the multiple BUY BUY BUY pop ups!
Do yourself a favor and find a different game!
I agree completly with you. This is the most rigged leeching money hungry game I have ever played in all my years.I have spent money on this game but it does not help. They just keep taking. The game has absolutely no fun factor anymore since it was sold and the philosophy of the owners is just keep spending and losing. The game deserves zero stars. lol
Do NOT play
DO NOT PLAY this game! Caesars bought it earlier this year from the developers and their greed has completely ruined the game. And it's such a shame because this used to be a fun and entertaining game. Some of the reasons that many players are quitting this game are listed below. PLEASE read them before you start playing!
--They no longer allow you to gift new friends immediately. You must now wait 24 hours before you can gift a new friend. So if we're in a room and you need an item, we can friend each other now but I can't send you the item that you need for 24 hours. What sense does that make? No other bingo game that I've played has this restriction.
--Free spins used to give you the same payout as a paid spin, but now what you win is almost nothing.
--Older slot rooms allow you to win when matching only 2 of certain items; but since the changes, you must have at least 3 to win anything, and most of those wins are less than what you are betting.
--When you finally get that last shadow card that you need to complete the room, oftentimes your Instant Bingo Power-up will not be given to you to use. And many times, I've PAID for that Instant Bingo Power-up so that I could win the item on a second chance. (What's the point in having them if Bingo Blitz won't let you use them?)
--The latest change is that you can no longer buy power-ups with your coins. You must use credits to purchase power-ups!
--No matter how many free credits your friends send you, you can only collect 5 free credits every 12 hours. There are only two or three rooms you can play in with 10 credits. (10 credits won't buy you very many power-ups either.)
--In the tiered rooms, you are only able to gift your extra items for the first two levels. In the third level, there is no gifting. Many, many people are unable to finish this third tier because we can't gift and you rarely, if ever, get the last item that you need. What good does it do me to have 5 extras of an item if I can't gift them to my friends?
--Just very disappointed and disgusted with all of the negative changes that have been made to what was once an excellent game. :(
Do NOT DOWNLOAD
I’ve first started played Bingo Blitz 7 months after in launched August . I can tell you that the game is rigged and set up for the enrichment of their pockets alone. Over the years I’ve contacted BB support for a number of issues and years later I have yet to receive a response or credited back the amount of credits & items lost because of their error.( they love to blame your isp provider) but when you have the latest and most recent technology available they will (sometimes if they respond at all) issue you no more than 450 credits. Nothing comparable to the amount you’ve lost or could’ve won in the game. My advice is to never ever purchase anything spins credit offers daubs alert power up if you do you...your player Id will then be placed in a different algorithm which will purposely allow you to win the first two games after purchase and you will not win another game for a period of time (the time frame varies depending on the item you purchased) another tip is to play on one level (classic super mega etc) consistently. Do Not Ever go up or down because once again you’ll be placed in a different algorithm. Throughout the years of playing off and on I’ve been able to recognize what they are doing with EVERY single update of the game. I’ve written “support” with my findings twice 3 years apart, both responses were exactly the same (I have both emails still) so don’t expect any help! My last and final tip is DO Not EVER EVER EVER go to their FB page and complain about how they operate their “fun & exciting not your grandma’s bingo game” because you will be placed in YET ANOTHER ONE OF their algorithms and will not hit a single bingo for days! Which once again happened to me the entire last week of October . I am not the only one who this has happened to luckily I can prove my statements I’ve made videos of my bingo blitz experience. Do the research and see for yourselves. If you want to waste money download and play if you want to play and don’t really care about completing rooms (I have rooms I still have to complete from the time I first started playing) then this is for you. You can’t say you haven’t been warned.
Rip off
Though this game has many qualities and aspects of real bingo, begin all rng based, this game is the worst for many reasons. My girlfriend, our daughter and I play this game because it is fun but this game only caters to beginners. Once you pass a certain point everything becomes way to expensive to the point where the game is no longer fun and you can only play one game a day. In the beginning stages or beginning level ( I still have not figured out where everything spikes) the game is very cheap and affordable. You could even argue that “ your a beginner, the game is suppose to hold your hand” but even the mini games within bingo such as the current one ( snakes and ladders) because even hard to obtain and you can on get dice by playing bingo and getting bananas. For someone who has been playing longer than me, our friends says it takes her 3000 bingo credits to play 3 superior chest only to bingo on 3 cards and only get 1 banana for the mini game. While someone who is new can spend 100 credits bingo twice on two cards and end up with 23 dice. I understand that just like regular bingo every room and every bingo hall has its own price but to call this game fair is a lie. Buying credits for this game is a waste because of how overly priced the games are paying 34.99 for 600 bingo will still only get you about 1 or 2 games playing 4 cards on mega and legendary cards and maybe 3 or 4 with super cards and then that’s only if you bingo. You also can bingo on 1 or two cards with first place and second place bingo and still not break even. “ well buy less cards to play more” if you aren’t playing 4 cards you have no chance of of a bingo. The game is fun yes and just like bingo it is based on lucky and rng but this game forces you to buy credits and not give you enough of them to keep playing the game even if you buy. This game is not worth your money and only has as many followers as it does because it is Facebook game. But it is fun in the beginning but impossible and lack luster once you move forward. Oh and the community is kind toxic and you can trade cards and someone can skip out on you and the developers won’t do anything about it so just watch your back.
READ REVIEWS BEFORE DOWNLOADING
I have been playing this game for 12 years and there have been many changes over the course of the 12 years. What’s frustrating is reading that there have been many players over many years that have posted the same types of complaints and the Developer’s response, if any response at all, is a generic response to the complaints. I have experienced almost every complaint listed in the last 12+ years of playing. The chat rooms are loaded with the same complaints. Had I not wasted so much money on this game I would still only be getting less than 100 credits a day to play, that’s about 1 game a day. The Developers state that this is a game of chance, really? I’m sorry but NO IT IS NOT A GAME OF CHANCE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR UNGIFTABLE CARDS! I’ll give you an example. I need 1 ungiftable card, I have spent over 10,000 credits to win that card, which by the way still has not been won to finish that room. You have chests that you can win on your card. Chests can include power ups, coins, food ingredients, credits or cards. 14 times now I have won the same giftable card in a chest! 14 times for the same card that is a freebie! That is not by chance! In 6000 credits playing Super level the card I need has shown up once, I had to use my credits to get a second chance on that card, to only daub 3 numbers. I have given away so many extras and yet I still have 37 extra cards in this room! THIS IS BY CHANCE, 14 TIMES OF THE SAME CARD IN A CHEST! NO WAY IS THIS BY CHANCE! The quests are not possible to win unless you spend money. You cannot complete any food/menu items unless you spend money. This game never used to be like this. Now with the recent changes some people have only 8 cards to complete a room, some have 12 and some have 16 cards, WHAT? I have watched the changes over the years, some good, but mostly bad, and it has become less and less affordable and enjoyable to play. Monitor a chat room in a game, because there are a lot more complaints in there than what is listed in these reviews. Years ago I would have given a 5 star review, not anymore since you have to spend money to play this game, unless you are content playing 1 game a day. YOU NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES BINGO BLITZ!
Fun, to a point
So I’ve been playing this game for a while now, to the point where I was level 85. When I first started it was a lot of fun, but there does come a certain point where it’s like you HAVE to throw money at the game in order to actually he able to play it.
I’ve been trying not to throw too much money at this game, and haven’t really bought any credits, and because of that I’ve been stuck in a loop to where I don’t have enough to buy cards that will give me rewards that match my level (the more you spend, the better the chests that you can win are).
The amount of credits you win for playing, if you get a bingo or from chests, almost NEVER equals the amount you spent to play the cards. The only way to get back what you’ve spent is to get lucky and win a lot of chests, or get a reasonable amount of chests and a x2 win multiplier.
So because of all of this, I’m stuck playing low level cards and winning little to no credits; which means I can only play 1 round per day. It’s not even worth going back and playing the cheaper rooms either because again, the chances of you winning an equal amount to what you put in or more than that are SLIM.
Oh. And after you reach a certain level the costs to play rooms increases.
At first I thought this was the perfect game and wasn’t built as a ‘pay to win’, but I was very quickly proven wrong. They do have in game ways to get more credits, but you have to get ingredients to make dishes and the only way to do that is to have a CHANCE of one of the chests you win to have it. I haven’t been able to make a dish in a week because I keep winning ingredients that I don’t need, and because I can’t play cards that give better rewards/better ingredients because I don’t have enough credits.
And no, there isn’t a ‘watch this video to get three credits’ way either.
Oh, and don’t get me started on their room ‘FARMER’S JOY’; that room feels that it is DESIGNED to waste credits/power ups; it isn’t actual bingo! If you do play this, avoid that room at all costs.
This game needs to fix the way credits are handled, and how higher level players get screwed, because this game favors those who dump 50$ into it way too much. I get that they need to make money, but there needs to be a balance.
Fun but expensive
There are not enough ways to earn enough credits to keep playing without spending a huge amount of money. $100 for credits than wont last more than 3 hours and that’s using them conservatively. $100? You can get the packages for cheaper, but much less credits, obviously. $25 for what might last an hour if you go with least amount of power possible. Only rich people could play this regularly. No choice but to leave. And when you win credits, they are so few that it’s just not comparable to how much you need to use. Out of balance. There needs to be much more credits available to win and given as prizes, and they need to be made more affordable for extra. You should be able to make money AND reasonable for the players simultaneously. The food game is ridiculous, annoying, slow, and just in the way. The pay out isn’t worth it and it eats precious time between games. Nobody wants ingredients as a prize. Booo! I thought the egg power thing that takes you to the slot grid is genius and fun and a great way to get extras. Good job on that part. I like a lot about the game, but the cost is unreasonable. I kept wishing I could use the “money” that piles up to buy credits and other things, but no, you really can’t use on anything but some power ups which leave me with too much of certain things and not enough of others. But at least THAT option is available. So the “money” just piles and piles without much to use it for. I don’t get why it’s so out of balance like that. What’s it for if we can’t use it to buy things? The slots that hardly pay out? I can get 3 of something and maybe break even on that one... how do you win and yet no pay out? Or something so small it doesn’t make it worth it. Are we supposed to think we hit it big when we pay a required 2,500 coins and hit all three wilds and get a “whopping” 25 credits? That barely pays for one card when you’re a beginner. Why so unbalanced? Unrealistic. The math doesn’t add up. I guess you’re going for the few that can afford this game at such high prices so you forfeit the masses that you could have by charging reasonable prices and better balance. It’s just a greedy way to be. You can make good money and still give a reasonable cost at the same time. If it gets worked out I’ll be back, otherwise I’m downloading another game not made by the same people.
Long time player DONE!
TLTR: I’ve been playing since 2012. Game starts out great, as you advance it becomes insanely hard to get the ungiftables and shadow cards (impossible, unless you people trade with you), same with ingredients and last but not least DO NOT SPEND MONEY! The Developer response to comments here is always, it’s a game of chance. Sure, the chance that you will burn through all of your credits and spend money.
Within the last year, the game has gone drastically downhill. I mean, it’s really bad. Let’s start with the money; first and foremost, spending money DOES NOT, I REPEAT DOES NOT help you advance in the game. I admit, I’ve spent a little money for more credits and paid for Plus for a few months. Trust me, it is not worth it! Furthermore, don’t believe the percentage off “deals”. Pay attention to the number of credits when no deals, then where there is a deal, notice they lowered the number of credit, you are not getting a deal! Lastly, if you do pay, as time goes on they will slowly start increasing the money you have to spend to credits. Join Bingo Blitz Community on Facebook. People post how much they have to spend, upwards of $450, but another person posts their amount and sometimes it is literally hundreds of dollars less for the same exact number of credits. You don’t advance and you burn through the credits quickly without even getting any shadow cards. Next, it is insanely hard to get the ungiftables, sometimes takes many weeks. On the flip side, if you get the ungiftables quickly, then it takes many weeks to get the other shadow cards. Sometimes the only way to get them in order to finish is trade because the “red” tabs are simply not coming up. If you stick with the game, the best advice here is to make friends. Make as many friends as you can so that you can trade your spares. Ingredients, basically the same as shadow cards. For example since the new kitchen opened, it’s been two months since I’ve seen any new ingredients. And they have reduced the number of credits received when making a dish. The side games like dice and shovels, number of credits, reduced. Finally Team games. This is by far the dumbest change. You need an axe to break the tiles. It’s like impossible. You get one axe, then never get an axe again, just like 5 credits here, double daub there, no axe. What’s the point, it’s so stupid. With all of this said, I am done with this game. Its become too frustrating. I am now playing Bingo Aloha as it is a much better experience. Try it out.
WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT
I have played this game since it 1st came out. You could play in any room and have ample chance of at least getting 1 bingo & it didn’t take months to complete a room. It takes forever to get the non gifted items & your guaranteed to at least get 4 - 5 of the same 1 thru 5 items. I have been at the same total of daily bonus chips for years now & I did play everyday for years but now you have to build your chips up if you want to play for awhile but don’t expect to get a bingo much because 99% of the time there’s only an average of 6 to 8 bingos available because hardly anybody is in the room. The cost to play cards is ridiculous when even if you win 1st place you only get 15 credits. I play 4 cards each time at 64 credits & since the odds are so against you your chances of winning the lottery are better odds. I have never been able to play any of the season rooms because the cost to play is ridiculous. I would have to save my chips for at least 6 months just to play & I’m sure I still wouldn’t get all the items. I don’t know why they make it so hard to move up in status but I get only 94 daily chips for years now and still haven’t been able to get any higher. The bonus wheel is a joke cause it never goes all the way around & the amount of chips you can win if you’re lucky is a joke & they know the odds are stacked against you to win the jackpot. As for the daily tournament I play it everyday and just like so many other players to get even 1,000 points is nearly impossible. Scores are now running from 76/5 to 873/5. I have been trying like many others who have been playing just as long to win the Red Jewel & it frustrates all of us because unless you can get a score of at least 2,000 I’ll probably be dead before ever winning it. They are pushing purchases all the time and now they keep adding season rooms which is geared towards those who have a lot of chips or make numerous purchases. Don’t bother contacting customer support cause they don’t care. We all know this is a game of chance just like all games but like other developers they’ve gotten greedy so if you have lots of money to waste then you will be in the elite group that can compete any room & it won’t take you months. The only reason why I haven’t deleted this game and the only real positive thing about this game is you can make a lot of friends. Other then that if you have a big bank roll then good luck otherwise it’s a good place to make friends. I’m so disappointed in the developers of this game because they took a very enjoyable & challenging game and made it unenjoyable.
Great game, but
I started out with 380 credits, played in the Quest. I selected the 1 card for 40 credits, that left me with 340 total credits. I didn’t win on that card, well it popped up that I will guarantee to win it the next time, so I clicked the button and it was 40 credits. That left me with 300 total credits. Well, I was waiting for the round to start, and the game caller started calling out numbers, but my card didn’t come up on the screen. What was displayed was the number of cards that you wanted to play. This game took my credits and didn’t give me my card to play.So, I clicked on the 1 card for 40 credits, that took me down to 260 credits, although I selected to try the guaranteed game to WIN, and it didn’t give me my card. So, I didn’t WIN that 2nd time of playing. I got a chest, that had 19 credits inside and I leveled up and that was 45 credits which brings me up to the totals credits of 324. I haven’t played this game in a while, due to this game taking my credits. I decided to get it on my phone because I love playing Bingo, although for some reason I don’t WIN half the time, it freezes up on me when it gets to the last few bingos and that causes me to miss out on the numbers that were called while my end was frozen. Hopefully, you’ll give me my rightfully credits back, along with some extra because of me having to reach out to complain about this and for the freezing. I should have a total of 404 credits, along with some extra for the mishaps. ***Which I’ve been playing since all the above took place and connected to my FB, and my email so I earned those credits fair and square. Also, there’s been times that I select cards(using my credits) and the game closes itself out, and there goes my credits. I normally play 1 or 2 cards bc of the layout it’s aggravating going from top and bottom playing 3-4 cards. Sometimes I don’t even get 1 number on a card, and it’s odd that it zooms by when it gets to 20 players and some of the older bingo rooms(at the very bottom) have at the most 15. It’s like when you are only needing 1 shadow card to complete that room, it’s almost impossible to get a BINGO, so you’re crossing your fingers in hopes to get a chest that contains the one you need, bc for some reason or another it keeps giving you the shadow cards that you’ve already have, which makes no sense to me. The first part of this was sent to the creator of BB, they received it about my credits taken, bc I got a follow up email back, but I haven’t received anything from them yet. I love playing BINGO, and I just want it to be fair for eve and NOT the computer.
Too Much
While the developer did not address any of my concerns in the response, he/she did ask for an update so I will accommodate. Based on many reviews, I feel as if the developers do not actually read for understanding. In this case I never mentioned the game being fixed or programmed not to give bingos, although I do believe that is probably true. The developer just jumped over all the things I did say and began addressing the random selection of balls in a game. As I stated previously, I am only interested in a simple game of Bingo and I stand behind my assessment that this game does not provide that. There are too many added features, gimmicks, bells and whistles, just things I do not need or want. I have no desire to play online in tournaments or to enter chat rooms. I am never going to play on social media like FB or post scores there. I do not need all the shadow box prizes to play BINGO...just a card and the numbers called. If there are players who need these things in order to play BINGO then fine...offer them as options; allow them to pick and choose what they want to customize their game but also allow me to leave my screen clear of all those distractions. I do not need all these chat rooms, cartoon figures, prizes all over the screen. Nothing has changed within the game based on my previous comments and I did not expect it to do so. I am not even sure this game is still on my device. Bingos are easy to win in early locations but by the time you progress to later ones they are almost impossible unless you buy aids. When someone scores a bingo with less than five numbers called something is off...game is no longer about chance and more about who has the most game aids to win the quickest. There also used to be many more people playing so there were many possible bingos on any given game. Now the numbers are averaging 20 or less and that is not much of an opportunity to win. Overall this game is still not my favorite due to all the added features that for me are a distraction.
My original review below ⬇️
The actual Bingo is not bad and “cost” for cards is reasonable. I just think there is too much going on in this game...all the extras are just a distraction and make the game seem juvenile. I am not interested in playing on social media, or winning little shadow prizes or any of the varied extras. I am not interested in playing others or chatting with anyone. Perhaps there is a simple Bingo game somewhere for those players who do not need all this stuff going on around the game. I just want a simple game of Bingo...call the numbers and have the winners...all I need.
Addictive and seemingly a scam
Understand that when you start this game or get back into it after a long absence it will reward you well to keep you in it. My wife and I have been playing this game off and on for a long time. Unfortunately we have spent a good amount of money on it with subscriptions and paying for chips. They reward you with a lot of chips early on, and when starting again after some time away to make you happy and keep you playing. The in app purchases start off cheap but slowly your cheaper options get more and more expensive. After a while you start getting less bingos and can either wait a couple days to build up enough chips to play another round, or spend money. I’m currently done with this app. I have spent the last two weeks saving up chips with my daily rewards to play one round every other day just to mark 5 spots across 4 bingo boards before the round ends. It’s no longer fun to play and I don’t want to spend money on a game that seems to favor people who spend $80 (my “offer” price) to buy enough chips to play for 15 minutes. When you spend money it seems like you get better odds for numbers called, or for what you get out of chests and map items that show up on your boards for a while but it will always go south and you’ll end up with no chips after a really good run. You’ll get a lot of food items but somehow you won’t get the one item you need to complete a level of cooking for days. You’ll get stuck on one location for weeks trying to get the last untradable item spending chips to have another chance at it just to get crushed. They removed trading in game coins for power ups so you have to slowly build them up over time or spend money, and the in game quests change based on how many chips you spend on an average game so that you have to continue to use 900-1500 chips per game to complete them for 200 chips and 3 cooking items that maybe will earn you 50 chips for cooking. Understand that this isn’t some poor me post. This comes after a long time of playing while fully understanding that I was throwing time and money at a game that has no benefit to my life. Just be warned that this game is worse than a casino because at least at a casino you have a chance at walking out with something beneficial. Keep your money in the bank, play with your free chips, and don’t get sucked in.
Edit. The response given by the developer is a copy paste response given to anyone who questions purchases or odds. If you want to play the game go for it. Don’t spend money unless you are cool with throwing it away just like pretty much any other app. While I understand that there is probably no change to your luck if you spend money I wouldn’t be surprised to find that your RNG does change based on your actions or your progression. Good luck y’all, stay safe, keep your money. Also remember that this is just my opinion based on my experience. I have no knowledge of their algorithms.
Suggestions for the developers:
Ok so odds are this won’t even get to a real person. I am just one review swimming among thousands others just like it. I’m sure the amount of “not enough tokens” reviews are so many that you got a computer system to respond with a general “thank you, we’ll look into that” response, but just in case I’m wrong, after all I know me alone and giving you at least $150 a month! So here goes: we need more bingo tokens. I even pay for premium at $15/month for and early access, and play all the side games, AND spend about $3-5 a day, AND have 2 accounts, and still don’t get enough. I wanna play more than one game a day, BB! Come on, don’t do us like this! So here are some ideas I had that would still keep people wanting more but would be better for the player, too: *If every time you level up after say level 20, you get that many tokens. I’m on level 89 on one phone and get about 60 for leveling up. And I’m on 99 here and only get about 80. We should get the amount of the level we’re on. *If I could choose which room or how many people I would be playing against I would play more often. I like playing against a lot of people. Some don’t. And on one phone I’ll play, for example Tokand there will be 45 bingos remaining. Then I switch to this phone and play Tokyo and they tell me they need 1 more player before we can even start! Then there’s only 7 bingos allowed. I should be able to pick the room, even if I don’t know anyone in there. I want to go in the room with more people! *IF WE GET A BINGO, GIVE US ENOUGH TOKENS TO PLAY AGAIN! Bingos are so rare that it would be nice to be able to play one more round if we win. Sure, the bingo pays us back for the card, but that’s not how real bingo works! *Give the first 10 bingos something extra. That way if there are only 10 players in the room, it makes it worth playing. And I have gotten a first place bingo maybe twice and both times I was surprised that I didn’t get anything more than a 67th place bingo. *Make it so we can buy the ingredients for our coins that accumulate with nothing to spend them on. Or better yet, let us buy bingo tokens! Because say my daily bingo gift is 40 tokens, then I spin the wheel and get 5000 gold coins, adding those to the 100,000 I already have. I can buy power ups, but not the good ones, and occasionally I can spend almost if not all on a 2 hour daub alert once mine has timed out, but 40 tokens is not even enough to play ONE GAME ON THE LOWEST BET! Because if you don’t play 4 cards, your odds of winning is waaaaaay less because of simple odds. Then factor in the less power ups less often and I think I have only gotten a bingo that way 3 times. And I’m on level 99! OR, make some ingredients able to be purchased with coins. Like all the ones I can trade, I could also buy. That would be better. *but believe it or not, these are not complaints. Just desperate attempts to get more coins. It is just as addicting as real bingo and actually just as accurate. So keep it up, love the upgrades… thanks BB!
Don’t do it…
Once a upon a time I would have rated this game a 5 star and then some. But now? This game is an absolute JOKE and SCAM. THEY LITERALLY WONT LET ME POST MY REVIEW BC I GAVE A 1 star says the nickname is unavailable lol
At first, the game is fun and fairly easy to complete rooms and to win credits, etc. but the higher the room and/or chest level, it becomes nearly impossible to actually win. Yes, I know that within games it’s meant to become more difficult and challenging to win and level up, the higher level you are, but this? This is just down right RIDICULOUS.
A player should not have to spend weeks or even MONTHS in a single room trying to win a shadow that is needed to complete. If you’re waiting for a certain shadow, especially one that can’t be gifted, you normally need to boost your cards chest level to find the shadow you need. In order to do that, you need a large amount of credits, which you rarely win. Majority of the time you have to save your credits up by collecting them daily by not playing for months until you have a good amount collected so you have enough to boost your cards to get said shadow. But even then it’s nearly impossible to win it.
I saved up to a little over 7k credits and needed ONE shadow to complete a room. Of course it was one that couldn’t be gifted. I spent the whole 7k credits trying to win that shadow with no luck. I literally had that same card come up 13xs back to back and needed one daub that would make several bingos on all 4 cards, and never had my number called. I left the room for a month and came back and tried again, and still never won it. That’s just down right stupid!
I have also noticed that if you play higher chest boosts such as superior or majestic (sometimes epic) will all of sudden have no connection and you end up losing the game. Sometimes you will get booted in the middle of the game or may see that the game lags so bad you end up losing bc the bingo takes [protected] years to actually go threw. I’ve actually tested this theory. My daughter and I would play the exact same room, she would play lower chest boosts like super, and I would play higher boots like Superior or Majestic, and then mine would say I had no connection, while my daughters was playing just fine. Remind you, we’re sitting next to each other and connected to the same WiFi network, so I KNOW it wasn’t our internet connection.
You also have to watch and pay attention to your daub alerts. I noticed, mostly in blackout rooms, (but it’s happen in all rooms) that your daub alert won’t flash on a number you have that was called. And in the blackout rooms I have also seen they will do a repeat call on a number sometimes. I’ve even mentioned this in the chat and others would confirm they noticed that too. On a few occasions I have also noticed that some shadows I have already won, are gone.
I want to bring it to everyone’s attention as well that this creator is CASINO based. They PURPOSELY make the start of the game fun and fairly easy to complete. They also will PURPOSELY make you lose a shadow you need by needing one daub to bingo. They do this so you will spend your hard earned money. DO NOT spend your money on this game bc I can promise your chances of winning aren’t any better. In fact, probably harder so you will keep spending your money. It’s a SCAM.
Don’t bother asking other players for help either and don’t dare look at their inventory if it’s open. You will get called every name in the book and then some. I understand that you do have scammers in the game. I also understand that there are some who are “star chasers” and just beg for shadows to earn the stars and never actually play the game themselves, BUT, if you have more than 3 of the same shadow, especially if it’s in a room or level you aren’t playing any more, you can gift. It’s crazy how rude and stingy people are on this game. If you hoard cards and you check the requesters inventory and see they actually DO play and complete rooms, it wouldn’t hurt you to gift your cards. Yes, some do, but it’s rare. People are so rude. And might I add don’t dare type in CAPS in the chat bc they don’t like that either.
So as you see, this game is a joke and a scam. It’s not fun any more bc it’s so difficult and expensive to even play. You don’t have to take my word for it tho: ask around or play yourself and you will see.
BB - do better. You have thousands, maybe even millions of players of this game but you’re starting to have ALOT of unhappy people. It literally doesn’t hurt you to make this game a tad bit easier to win.
*Also note that when I try to send this review it won’t let me bc it says every nickname I try isn’t available.
Great game but terrible management
I truly hate to give what has been my favorite game for 10 years+ a 1 star but when it devolves into manipulation of outcomes, and the support personnel giving scripted responses for the game saying ‘everything is random’ but then says ‘it’s designed to get harder the higher your level’, that’s not random in even a 1st grade sense of the word. It’s bingo. It isn’t hard. There isn’t a way for ‘harder’ to be incorporated if it’s random. There is no skill here aside from daubing squares. If harder means fewer numbers and lose more credits faster, then ‘random’ doesn’t remotely associate. Since playing from near the beginning of the game’s release, the game has made some good changes over the years. But sadly, when the game changes hands and new owners want to milk every penny out of their players with outrageously over valued in-game currency, there is a bridge too far established and this current group of greedy owners have crossed it. They have taken way every opportunity for players to enjoy the product. No longer can anyone play for hours of enjoyment. You can not have good days anymore when you actually might finish + on credits. The owners have even gone so far as to blatantly rig the game by taking away the ability to use coins you win to purchase anything. Until last week one could at least buy bundles of power ups to supplement play. Random as it may be. You could get single, double daubs along with the useless chests and xp boosts that literally get thrown in every round before double daubs that are mildly helpful. Only good coins are now is for the slots side of the game but they have openly stated in public comment they will not develop the slots anymore or introduce new slots. So coins are now worthless. As are daily credit awards. It’s not even worth the muscle movements to try and spin the daily credit wheel where, even if you are about to surely hit the top prize, the wheel will inexplicably find the ‘inertia’ to kick over and reward you with the smallest amount possible which wouldn’t buy a single round of bingo. From July 2022, they have noticeably altered algorithms that now result in frequent long strings of number called per round that have zero daubs on all four cards. Not remotely realistic. Usually results in the player maybe seeming to catch up late in the round just to fall short of any bingo at the end like a carnival game….so close almost had it. In the chats you’ll inevitably see comments every round complaining of no numbers. Or, more likely a series of seemingly incomprehensible text that is censored with *** which is literally not cursing or vulgar, just trying to trade their cards. Worse yet, they will advertise ‘even bigger betta’ baskets that supposedly have ingredients for the food side game. Unfortunately if you put effort into achieving one of these baskets you’ll be disappointed to find out there is nothing as advertised. Bait and switch. And, if you comment on their social media page and are in any way critical of them, not only will they delete your post, they’ll block you from posting. So censorship is big with them as they cannot stand to hear any criticism or feedback. They are big on self-praise about the gifts they sometimes offer to players but reality is they don’t equate to anything usable. You would have to collect those rewards for weeks without playing only to play a few rounds. All in all, what was a great game, has been destroyed over the last year or so since the change in ownership. It’s will be mildly fun for new players until you start advancing without any effort (remember they will force xp boosts on you every round that result in leveling up) then the newness will quickly wear off. It has devolved into nothing more than a rigged game and if you find any success, they will react and quickly change the algorithms so your success is wiped out and then some. If you collect extra cards that might be used in subsequent repeating of a round for some modest credit reward, they will take them from you preventing that. In fact they call it the “wheel of offers” and “for a limited time only” but you can’t opt out of it, so it’s isn’t really an “offer” at all but it definitely is for a limited time because you HAVE to accept it. Good bye extra pieces. Occasionally before you complete a round you my get an offer but in exchange for them taking ALL of your extras, they will charge you 30,000 coins. and if you play the majestic level, all those extra cards represent a lot of credits spent. You may get 49 credits or worthless power up for 1-15+ extras they take. Biggest scam in the game I was a plus player as well. At first the benefits were great, but then completing quests became near impossible without spending thousands or even 10’s of thousands of credits and terribly imbalanced return payout during game play. Spend 1500 cr/round get 90 back from a chest due to no numbers and bunk power ups like xp boost, chest, or single daubs. Sure at first you’ll Level up fast but the cost goes up with each level. And for $15-$16 /month subscription this kind of lame return and you don’t even get playtika points…it’s not even worth it for the entertainment value. Bingo blitz in its current state is pretty much a no win scenario for all. The only positive reviews in 2022 are pretty much paid reviews or those that have spent so much money in the game they are rewarded with “VIP” status. Even those players are quitting now. In fact, of all the in-game friends I have accumulated over the years, only 3 of the long timers still play occasionally. Bottom line: in its current state, it’s a DEAD GAME. stay away or find another game that will treat its players that supported and promoted with purchases and loyalty with dignity and respect.
Response to Dev response: your remarks are so off and blatantly false but more so, self damning examples of exactly why people are dumping this game in droves. Admit your mistakes fix the power ups back to coins.
Bingo Blitz Complaints 17
Bingos Taken Without Playing Game
I was very disappointed tonight when during a bingo game in Honolulu, it was necessary for me to leave the game just before it started, I had not selected the number of cards I wanted to play, and the number of Bingos I had dropped by 66 Bingos when I chose to Return to Lobby. I wasn't able to play a game, and it penalized me additional Bingos for choosing to Return to the Lobby. Obviously not the way to build player loyalty for your game when a player is penalized when having to leave a game before it even starts. You might want to revisit this technical glitch or decide not to take away Bingos when someone needs to leave a city (Return to the Lobby) before the game even starts.
Update: I have played the daily tournament every day for months, and generally will play Bingo Blitz in the city which I am trying to complete after the daily tournament. I am currently trying to complete Rio. I have played it for several weeks, but the last 4 days, I have not been receiving a shadow card on my first game, and this evening, 11/24, I was not given any shadow cards for every game I played, which was 4 games. I still have two pieces to win, so it is very frustrating not to have access to a shadow card, which is half of the way I can win the puzzle pieces. I would sincerely appreciate your help in checking on this issue. When I tried to play a game again this morning, there was still no shadow card awarded, which is part of the reason to play the bingo portion of this app. I have installed all updates provided by your studio to date. Please fix this frustrating issue! Thank you.

Playtika is awful
You heard me. This company is awful at making a bingo game you can actually enjoy playing as a FTP. Buffalo Studios owning it was much more enjoyable.
Firstly, you never get enough credits from playing rooms, you also never have enough daily credits either.
Secondly, turning some room items into “exclusive” items is the worst idea with how bad the credit return rate is, you can and will get stuck in rooms for months trying to finish because you just need 1 item but cannot get it because it never shows up on your shadows, nor is it in chests, and since it’s exclusive no one can gift it to you.
Third, the kitchen items rarely if ever drop what you need in chests, personally I just need 1 pineapple pear to complete a recipe but haven’t gotten any new ingredients in months.
Fourth, the slots change up was bad too. It used to be any 5 of an item on a spin you’d win that item no matter what slot room, but now they’ve added “wheels” to spin if you earn enough money from a spin, and you’re not guaranteed an item from those wheels, it more likely just gives more coins.
Lastly, even if you have mostly completed previous rooms, you cannot unlock the next room until the directly previous room has 2 stars worth of items (8 items collected) which can be impossible if you’re unable to even play a room on a “boost” high enough to give 4 shadows so you actually have a chance to win just one of those cards.
Bring back the original gameplay style and I might actually raise my ratings. As it is now, this is a piss poor game, and not worth the frustration as a FTP.
0/10 would not recommend game to ANYONE.

Well said R.Rohan. Bingo Blitz have excuses for everything.
- We say they don’t give us enough credits, they say go on their Facebook page to receive more low credits lol
- We say their in-game system does not show new or exclusive cards often, so we are stuck in rooms for months wasting credits, waiting for it to show, they say their game is based on luck and chance, but we aren’t given a chance to see the cards we need lol
They say they’re trying to improve their game little by little, to give us a better gaming experience, but there’s reviews online, on the App Store, (some as far as 2-10yrs ago), about the same issues we’re experiencing today.
Yes they’ve made changes to the game but none that has made us have a “better gaming experience”.
It’s funny how they keep deleting negative comments on their Facebook account… someone asked why long-term players didn’t get the last two promo codes (as it was gifted only to new players) & they deleted it lol
They take pride in being the #1 Bingo Game but it probably is just the most downloaded bingo game.
In my opinion and it seems in a lot of people’s opinion, Bingo Blitz is the #1 worse free game ever created.
Worst Customer Service ever
Update April 21
No issues fixed. This game is getting worse with every update, but the customer service is by far the worst I have ever experienced in my whole life. They are aware of all these issues but do nothing about it. But go complain on their Facebook page, and ta da you are blocked from commenting or liking any comments. Really horrible how they are so quick to block someone speaking the truth, but they don't fix the problems that cause thousands of people to complain. The greed of this company is downright horrible! Apple, you guys should remove bingo blitz from the App Store! Coming soon a boycott bb page, and many petitions!
Updating my review. I was finally contacted but only to receive a message that says they are aware of the problem, but yet they don't compensate you at all. This is ridiculous! More or less they are aware of all these glitches causing us to lose credits, keys, treasure chests, and spins.. But they don't care. This saddens me cause I do like the game when it works properly, but the developers clearly don't care about our loses.
Way to many bugs. I have lost keys, treasure chests, bingo credits, and bingo money. I contacted support and never received a response back. I also agree with the other people stating that it takes forever to complete a collection. Why is it that I can get several of 1 collection item, and I keep buying keys in hopes to find the missing items in treasure chests? But yet I will get a item I already have. Don't get me wrong I enjoy a challenge, but not if I have to repeat daily with no chance in hades of completing a collection! Please fix these bugs, and your customer service!

Warning: THIS GAME IS A MONEY GRAB!
No disrespect. But... Unless you have money to just spend and waste, this game is not for you. I always check back and see if the game has improved, however I’m here to tell you that it’s never chance and it’s not going to ever. After not playing for awhile I thought I check back and play. The credits I were given for my absence on top of the 500 credits I had before I left for the 5011th time... gone within two games! Now I’m down to one singular credit. But you can have that because I will NEVER be playing this game ever again and I have been playing since 2020, it’s a shame how stingy the game is about credits. Good luck trying to finish a town by the time you get to Tokyo because it’s a struggle to even get one bingo. The power ups are wasted as your waiting for numbers to be called, you don’t even get a good amount of credits doing the quests it’s still not enough. This is a very honest review and those 5 stars you see... are straight up CAP (lies) it’s a shame because I’m the beginning it was fun but now I realize that this game is nothing but a huge money grab. It’s garbage, unplayable, boring, they developer will give you the robot response “it’s a game of chance” and all that jazz but trust me it’s not. You might as well find a different game to play, it’s not very fun if you’re spending your rent money or whatever to play a game... just for you to lose every game. You get a couple wins here and there but don’t ever expect a miracle. The credits dry up faster than water on a humid day. smh what a complete rip. The Facebook credits that are given are sorry but if you like playing this game fine but I’m here to tell you this game AIN’T IT.

Great game, but read this to know it’s not fair!
Let me start out by saying how addicting and fun this is, but there are so many unfair aspects to this game. The developers are so money hungry, and yes I get it’s a business, but know a good balance. Listen to your customers. All responses from them are
“Hi there! We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Please note that our game is based solely on luck and chance. By making purchases only helps one progress faster. It does not impact the odds of scoring a bingo in any way, shape, or form. We certainly hope that your future experiences will be luckier! Have a great day”
Let’s make something clear, it’s not luck and chance. Some accounts starting out have less cards needed, get better rewards. I have tested this, I played two new accounts and they both were completely different. I started one a month after the other and have completely passed the old one. Not because I won more, because the rewards and items needed weren’t consistent. It’s computer algorithms and code with added tweaking from support staff. Rewrite the algorithm and make every single person start and have to earn the same thing. And yes! Paying customers should have a better chance, come on that’s just common sense. Why pay if your aren’t paying to have a win or better odds. Why pay if free accounts do and get the same success. My free account did way better than when I paid. BB knows you’ll pay so they make it harder to win credits so you keep buying. It’s con artistry at best. I love the game and I’ll keep playing but people should know it’s not chance or fair. I’m just making up my mind to be dumb and keep playing. I can promise I’ll never pay again though. Customer lost!

Other apps are definitely way better
I gave this game another chance only to be disappointed once again. Why is it with other Bingo games I’m able to play longer than this one? The prizes are too small, you get to play one game every other day and that’s all. Unless you have random money to spend and don’t care on wasting your money this is your game then; otherwise, If you want to get what you paid for, this app is not it. PERIOD.
I reviewed, maybe, a month ago and gave it another try only to be disappointed even more. It’s kind of like what do the developers expect? We have so many people that live below the poverty line in the US and majority are middle-class citizens in this country and you think that majority of people are going to spend over a $100 a week to feel like our money went to nothing, but a scam. Come on now… I don’t care if it’s just chance, like they commented before on my previous post. It’s still not fair you don’t even get enough to play everyday just by checking in. I’d rather be honest to the rest of the users than give the developers another dollar, but this game is simply, in my opinion, not worth it. And I am definitely one to spend a good amount of money on games.
It’s just sad because I would think in a business stand-point to get a person to play each day for at least a half hour in order to get people to check into the app everyday and be able to play, then it should be upon the user’s discretion to pay for more games or not. But what is currently happening, it’s hard to imagine that you get as many buyers as you realistically do. But, hey, go off, eventually this app will fall apart but glad your paycheck is nice now… until you realized you got short-ended and so did your consumers.

The timer gets super fast when you’re at bingo or a turkey trophy. How does the timer go from 28 to 0 in less than a second. How when your number for bingo shows up and you hit it and the game says “game over”. Cool game but the trickery is not cool. Whether we’re playing for free or buying credits, the timer speeds up when you’re almost at bingo or you end up using diamonds to try to get bingo and only get a random number. The diamonds you purchase. There may be 2 to 3 chances for a bingo using the cannon and no bingo after trying several times. No diamonds stored then there’s plenty of chances for a bingo. The game was fun and relaxing until I realized how you can just about win 2 bingos using 1500 credits, maybe.
Totally agree been playing on and off since 2011 can spend £100 a day Playing, for what ? It’s addictive, at the moment I have 1200 credits I can’t use as have no double dabs, I get to get extra every 2 hrs but rarely get double dabs last 6 hrs nothing, even my team rarely complete now as no one can play, I will be leaving when the month is over, so sad a fantastic game ruined by greed
Hilarious update
There are many reader responses related to your latest update of paying for “rare” power ups. I have to agree that all recent updates are aimed at folks like me who have played for years and do not pay a penny. I don’t buy anything in ANY of the games I play so I notice the purpose of updates. I am sure developers are trying to eliminate fun for those like me who choose this route because after all, your goal is to make money. And possibly to discourage and eliminate players like me but I know you could not possibly be that transparent as indicated by some of your responses to those who have quit (I.e. Marisa, September 26). My goal is to live within my fixed income. Therefore, we are at complete opposite ends of the financial end of this game. I like Bingo blitz overall, and freely admit looking for loopholes that might give me an advantage (as in spending 5000 coins for 25 power ups in the hopes gaining rare ones). But that is gone and while I have been given an every 2 hour gain of power ups, rare ones have not been given. I am not going to have the opportunity to gain many rare power ups in the future. It may definitely influence my frequency of playing the game; I may even quit it all together as it may not be worth my time, and as previously stated, perhaps that is your goal. But intended or not, it will be a result. So my guess is somewhere up the admin line, it is the goal. Too bad you don’t take a clue from Words 2. They have separated their buyers from non-buyers and “reward” buyers in ways non buyers can’t receive, but all play the game on a somewhat equal footing. Sorry BB, your greed is more transparent than your explanations of “luck” being the overriding factor of the game. I will ride it out and see what happens.

Update: Bingo Gems, the new scam
I’ve been playing this game for 9 years now, and the dev’s have been generally doing a great job with graphics, gameplay, enhancements, etc. But recent changes over the past 2 years or so really make me question whether this game is worth the time and money anymore. Today’s update features “Bingo Gems” as the new currency to purchase upgrades, which you need to purchase with actual money.
Example: certain power-ups, until today, averaged $.99 for a 30min power play.
But now you can only purchase those upgrades with Bingo Gems; and they’re EXPENSIVE. Now it takes 30 Bingo Gems for that same 30min upgrade - but you can’t just purchase 30 Bingo Gems, you can only purchase 25 (for $3), or 45 (for $5).
So now your $.99 power play costs at least $5. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Add to that, the sliding scale for purchasing higher quantities of Bingo Gems is also unequivocal, or advantageous. The more you spend, the fewer you actually get! Who’s making these decisions?! Just plain stupid and see-through manipulation.
Add to this, the dev’s have also made purchasing credits A LOT more expensive over the past couple of years, making the game that much more difficult to afford to play if you get into the challenge of wanting to compete, win, and clear Rooms.
All in all, a great game with excellent design and fun game-play . . . But the greed of the game dev’s is becoming more and more apparent, lumping this game into the “all for profit” App Store category, with little care for the loyal fans - or everyday players. Dev’s always reply to reviews by saying the game is “based on luck and chance” - which is only partly true, since algorithms control all of the game play. And now it’s greed is even more apparent with “Bingo Gems”. All in all, pretty sad.

Greedy!
I used to love this game and have played off and on for more than 10 years. As the years go by, playing this game is harder and harder. After collecting my daily credits every single day, I get to play 1 round of bingo about every 5-6 days. It seems to be pay to play now. If I love a game, I will spend money on it. But this company is greedy. For $24.99 you get a measly 485 credits. They have a daily quest system that grants awards and credits. To play the specific rooms for the daily quests costs 900 credits. So you want me to pay $50 to play 1 round of bingo? I paid $14.99 last month to become a plus member thinking that would help. Note - most other games charge around $5 for something like that. IT ABSOLUTELY DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE! I paid $15 and didn’t get to play anymore than I did prior to giving this company free money. Logistically, this is by far, the best bingo game out there. It’s a crying shame they are so greedy with their credits that you can’t play it. I cancelled my plus membership and have deleted the game. Goodbye old friend. It was fun while it lasted.
UPDATE: Got the standard “The game is based on luck” response. My issue is not how often I won. My issue is the bingo credits are slim to none therefore I can’t play without sinking a ton of cash into the game. I do not mind spending some money, but spending $50 to get enough credits to play 1 game is greedy and ridiculous. 2 days ago I started playing a different bingo game that is VERY similar. In 2 days I have completed 4 collections and keep a steady 11k in credits while it only costs 300 credits to play. Their money grab is in the form of extra reward systems and they’re not break the bank expensive. I haven’t bought any and can play for hours if I want.

Umm. Going Downhill
I had this game on my old Android phone and loved it but got so mad when my account was involuntarily deactivated after I hadn't played it for several months due to a financial crisis and didn't have phone service. I had an iPhone gifted ((woohoo!)) a few years ago but didn't get the game back bcuz I was still angry about it being deactivated .. but I'm such a bingo addict I started a new account. Things were great until recently. It used to be all about entertainment but it's become all about the money machine. They started this "Plus" feature where you pay a fee every month for "extra" bonuses and perks. I tried the two-week free trial and it was okay but not $15/month okay so I didn't sign up after the trial was over. Presto, suddenly I rarely won any bingo games or was able to collect items in the rooms to be able to advance to the next level, neither could I collect items for the stupid "cooking show" mini game that's supposed to award credits to play bingo. There are "cooking show" items that you CAN'T collect UNLESS you're a Plus member, how messed up is THAT! And an avalanche of credit purchase advertising began .. "SALE! SALE!" ..and let's be honest, you don't get many credits (example, 9.99 for 300 credits which is only enough for two rounds, maybe three IF you win a game and earn a few more credits) Basically, the game isn't playable unless you're willing to pay through the nose -at the very least it's an exercise in wasting time and credits and getting frustrated. Which is too bad, this used to be my favorite pastime.
update, the developer replied to this review and assured me that winning is soley luck and chance.. which you can expect them to say! And to a point it's true! But HELLO, can you say "algorithms" that are an everyday reality in the digital world

You have to pay to play
I love playing this game and it’s mini games. Unfortunately, I only get to play once a week. I have to save all my daily credits for a week before I am able to play a few rounds of bingo unless I pay for more credits, which I can’t afford. The purpose of the mini and bonus games is to be able to win more credits. But now it seems like an impossible task. I am currently in a map room with 11/12 items needed to win extra credits. I have been working for the last item for a few weeks now. I was able to play 10 rounds tonight on the second “super” level. That means two of my four cards have items I can play for. So in 10 rounds of two items available, I had exactly Zero chances to win the last item I need. And so I must wait another week to save up my credits to try a few rounds next week. Yay. But I only get them if I log in each day, collect them, and then repeat the next without playing those days.
There are hundreds of thousands of us players in their Facebook group “Bingo Blitz Global Community, and we have all been asking for the developers to make the game items more accessible and the bonus games more winnable. And for a while we were able to win more credits in chests and better items in bonus games. However, that was very short lived.
If you are a new player to Bingo Blitz, you will probably really like it….for the first 8-10 map rooms. Then you will most likely be like all the rest of us, unable to play daily. If you don’t believe me, check out the Facebook group. Read what the players have to say about it.
So I gave them two stars. I really love the game and all it’s extras. But if I can’t afford to play it, it doesn’t matter how fun it is.
Bingo Blitz developers, please read what the players have to say in your Facebook group! We would love to see that you are making changes for the players, not for Doug or Drew.

Not getting Free Tournament Rewards and Jewels!
9/4 update
Still find that I only randomly get my free tourney rewards, and a few days ago I scored # 231 place, according to the BB results,and not only did I not get any credits for it,but I never got the red jewel! First time I ever scored that high,and I'm not likely too again for two years,so it sure would be nice to get that red jewel award! Sent a screen shot to customer service,haven't heard back yet...
Game also often freezes halfway through a Bingo game,then you miss out on coins and rewards. Could be a great bingo game if they would only reward you what they should...Keep trying,Bingo Blitz!
This App is so glitchy that when I went to write a review,the poor review below popped up,and it wasn't even mine! My big complaint is that I only get the credits for the free 5 round tournaments once or twice a week...but I play every day! Fix this please...there are a ton of free Bingo Apps offered,so if you want people to stay...and pay...to play,get your stuff together!
New update: after the App update, I had hopes they had fixed the level up bonus, but they didn't! Does the developer even read our reviews? Could be a good game,they really need to fix the glitches and respond to our inquiries...
The game is as fun as any Bingo game, but it will not give me any level up bonuses to my chip total..this has happened 4 times, which means I have not been credited 96 chips so far..I have written customer support three times,and only get a standard response that tells me they have not even read my email. There are plenty of Bingo games out there,so why wouldn't they want to keep their customers from going somewhere else by fixing the glitches? Their loss...
Update...
Still not getting the daily rewards for playing in the free tourney..I know you don't get much,but one time I had over 1200. And never got credit for it. I don't u derstand why it's so random...

Fun Game! BUT here's MY (BAD) experience
I've been playing this game for awhile & have become somewhat addicted to it & others (also bingo games). HERE ARE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS GAME/APP..
1). I use to win/call bingo WAY more than I do now but this seems to be happening, in my opinion, b/c I USED MY OWN MONEY TO MAKE A FEW PURCHASES... Since then, I rarely get a bingo (which gives you more Bingo credits, points, coins, etc.). (I will spend $10.00-$20.00 a month, never making more than (1) $5.00 purchase a week, in ANY GAMES I PLAY..I'll spend $5.00 a week on games, but refuse to spend any more money than that on them).
2) I'VE HAD ITUNES SEND ME EMAIL RECEIPTS FOR IN GAME PURCHASES...OF WHICH I DID NOT MAKE... ONE SUCH OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ASLEEP (From a SATURDAY @ 6:30 a.m). I RAN ACROSS THE EMAIL BY ACCIDENT (I AM NOT ONE TO CK EMAIL ON A REG. BASIS, SO I WAS LUCKY TO EVEN SEE THAT ONE). SO OF COURSE THIS PROMPTED ME INTO LOOKING AT MY OTHER EMAILS & BEHOLD, ANOTHER ITUNES RECEIPT FOR THE PREVIOUS WEEK..(LUCKILY, I KNEW WHERE I WAS AT THE TIME THAT CHARGE OCCURRED). NOT SO LUCKY ON THE OTHERS.. I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN A REFUND... (B/c I have to schedule a call back with someone within iTunes... How crazy is that?)
3) THESE ADMIN.'S ONLY SEND BACK A "SORRY YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE FORM LETTER" WHICH STATES THEY'RE AWARE OF THE GAME ISSUES & WORKING ON A FIX,WHEN YOU WRITE IN (I have several of the same "sorry form letters" from all the back in Nov. where I wrote in to the Admin.'s over the game freezing & it causing me to lose my bingo credits, saved in my email now.. that's how often I ck email...went thru them all & saved them!)
4) IF THEY KNOW ABOUT THESE "PROBLEMS"... Why are they NOT working harder to correct them..?
BOTTOM LINE: This IS a fun game...HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE CORRECTED ASAP...AND DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF MAKING A PURCHASE THRU THEM...OR YOU WILL END UP WITH EXTRA CHARGES!

Too many bugs
I started playing this game a few months ago and loved it! But lately, I am really getting tired of all the errors and bugs in this game. It is really annoying to be one of the top three winners of the game or have won several bingos in one game and then right before it should credit the bingo credits, coins, etc, it tells you the room is full and boots you out leaving you with no credit at all. If the room was full, why let me in in the first place or why not boot someone who is just there to chat and not play? Other times the game finishes and the game locks up never giving any credit. I then get an error telling me to click continue and receive full credit for the bingo credits used. If I click continue, I never get my credits back and if I click to send an error log, I still don't get them back. Those are my biggest complaints about the game right now. There are a couple other things that need to be fixed as well though. At least five times now I have won four bingos in one game but have yet to unlock the achievement for it. What does it take to get it to unlock? There are others as well that won't unlock like the ones to have clicked on so many coin squares, etc. Also, there are two items in the room that it says you can only get in a treasure chest. I have won at least 20 of every other item so why can I not win those two from the treasure chest? At the rate I am going, I wish I could buy those last two and be done with the room. Another great feature that it would be nice to have is to shut off the chat. Maybe it is the time of day that I play, but thank goodness for the chat censors because people can really be rude! I think some people like to start a fight and it would just be nice to turn it off and not have to see it out of the corner of your eye. Even if just my top two concerns could be taken care of, this game would be a lot more fun like it used to be! Thank you!

BB Going DOWNHILL EXTREMELY FAST IMO
I agree with Everyone that says basically BINGO BLITZ “Used to be Fun”. Those days are Long Gone! I’ve had my FB Account and a Guest Account (for my Grandkids) to play. They too USED TO LOVE. Now they too Can’t Stand It Anymore. BB 1 MILLION % Has Become GREEDY and made Sooo Many Changes for the WORSE. EVERY ROOM I Play In on a Daily Basis is ALL COMPLAINTS ABOUT BB & the GREED! Come on BB….. We Can’t ALL BE WRONG! “”TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BB!” and Make a Statement to your LONG TIME CUSTOMERS that You Will CLOSE THE GAME IF Everyone Doesn’t Start PAYING CASH TO PLAY. It’s REAL SIMPLE! I’m not a good writer by any means. I Admit It. However, Honestly, I have MANY Family Members and Friends that Play that CAN WRITE IT FOR YOU FREE OF CHARGE! (They WONT Be Around Long EITHER Though). Feel Free to Email me BB if you need that kind of Help Writing a Professional Letter/Statement to ALL THE LOYAL CUSTOMERS of TOO MANY YEARS to ALL BE LET DOWN by YOUR COMPANY/Games. I could go on and on but ALL the LONG TIME CUSTOMERS Already KNOW the Gig and the TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, AWFUL, ABYSMAL Changes that BB has Made. G-R-E-E-D! Used to be able to Complete a room in Days/2 Weeks. Now it Literally Takes 3-4 MONTHS. You HAVE 2 HARD TO GETS (HTGS) in Each Room. Understandably So. NOWADAYS I DON’T Even “SEE the HTGS EVER” Until 3-4 Months AFTER COMPLETING THE REST OF THE ROOM! That’s DEFINITELY “NOT A COINCIDENCE”! NEWCOMERS…… DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR $$$$$$$ bc Nowadays MOST SPEND Their Own $$. Luckily, I Don’t and WONT! DELETING AS SOON AS I SPEND MY “FREE” BINGO CHIPS/COINS I HAVE “SAVED UP” OVER THE 12-13 YEARS. I’m SURE After my HONEST REVIEW it’s Gonna Get A LOT HARDER TOO NOW….. Another “Random Coincidence” with Paytika I’m SURE OF! Will let you know in a week or two.
Please Spare the SAME OLE’ DEVELOPER RESPONSE for Others You THINK can Fool! No Response Needed BB. TY for the 10 Years of Fun We ALL “USED TO HAVE”!

Over it…
I am so sad to even write this review but I feel that I have to and let people know how much of a trance this game puts on you. I have been playing bingo blitz for over 10 years. It USED to be fun. They would let you win a lot and complete rooms/quests easily. I have spent thousands of dollars over the last decade paying for my own entertainment on this game and I won’t deny that and yes it was my own choice. But honestly, spending money and lots of it is the only way to advance in this game. Yes you can friend people and be on a team, trade ingredients and puzzle pieces but to get all that to even trade and earn points to complete the team puzzles…you have to spend lots of money. It’s taken me a long time to even realize exactly what I was doing until my husband was looking at bank statements and totaling all of my bingo blitz purchases. It was a real eye opener and he said it perfectly, “that game puts you in a trance to make you spend spend spend.” They make you think you will win if you spend. They might give you a little taste of a win so you want to keep playing and HOPING you will win. My very last purchase was for $15. I spent the credits and lost within 5 minutes. I am over it bingo blitz. I am not sure what you have done with this game but it’s not fun anymore. You have made it entirely too difficult and it’s not worth it. I cancelled my plus membership today too. What you get for $15 a month isn’t worth it. You don’t get very much for a VIRTUAL fake bingo game (but they make it seem like you do). I understand that the company has to make money and that’s what everything is about but I’m just sharing my personal experience and opinion hoping it helps someone else. Bingo Blitz you also do not need to do your little fake reply to this review…it’s not going to change anything. I hope in the future you will make changes to let bingo blitz be what it once was in the past…a FUN and mostly FREE way for adults to destress from their busy lives…

Good but annoyingly flawed
To the developer: its a lie that purchasing these digital tokens don’t increase the odds of winning. A lot of those power ups help you win a round often times since theres so many people cheating and winning rounds after only a single number is called. Sure, the game is free to play so long as you have blue coins..but you only get so many per day and have to buy more to keep playing. I was receiving 36/day and, with the location I was playing on, it was 11 coins for just one card on the lowest treasure chest level. So, 3 rounds/day unless you want to play low level locations. The coins were the only thing you won and could actually use that didn’t require real money to purchase. Spin this anyway you want but this is greed on your part.
UPDATE 11/3/22: Given up on this game now that you can’t purchase power ups with coins you’ve won. You’re reliant on gifts from the game itself or you have to purchase them. Deleted the app and will not be returning. Greedy developer. There are big big flaws. The fact that the wheel will NEVER land on 575 credits. I’ve had it land there naturally and the game will push me forward/back so I don’t actually land there even though it was clearly going to stop on 575. It doesnt do that when i win 15 credits. These credits are meaningless (free for them to “lose”) to them but winning them is impossible. Also, when you get to other rooms where you need 12+ items to complete a card or what have you, they make it nearly impossible to win the items you need to move forward. If you do get a bingo in those rooms its an item you’ve already won or the card without the winning item at all. You’re reliant on other people gifting things to you or running through massive amounts of credits to try to win. That being said, the game is fun if you simply like playing bingo. You really don’t have to pay to play if you stay in the first room or two. They’re cheap and, unless you’re brand new to the game, you shouldn’t have to buy credits.
