Why do the same players always win?

May 24th, 2007

Here at Bingo Port.co.uk we take this mater very seriously and wanted to know why this seems to happen at just about all virtual bingo halls.

First of all we looked at statistics to see if there where any sites in particular that seemed to have a pattern of the same players always winning. What we found was that there was no one site that stood out but rather all sites seemed to produce streaks of winners.

Next we asked the operators themselves what was going on with this phenomenon. Out of all the operators we talked to they all come back with the same response.

The players who always seem to win in these streaks purchase a higher proportion of cards in each game compared to others, thus increasing their odds of winning.

This of course makes perfect sense as by purchasing more bingo cards in each game your odds of winning can only increase. The other factor is the number of players in each room.

So the numbers of players in a particular room will affect both the pot size and the chances of taking out the game along with the number of bingo cards you purchase in relation to the numbers of cards that other players purchase.

We would love to hear you feedback on this very important facet of our game.

Galabingo.com Domain Name Sells For £33,000

May 23rd, 2007

In an unexpected auction, BingoPort.co.uk has learnt that the domain name galabingo.com has sold for $65,750 (approx £33,000) through the expired domain name service, Snapnames.

We are busy trying to find out who eventually won the domain name, but the screenshot (left) of the auction progress and winning bid shows the person is known as ‘chelsea’. It can be seen that some spirited bidding took place to get to that point.

The dot com version of GalaBingo, which is the best known online and offline bingo brand in the UK, has never been owned by The Gala Group. Their popular online bingo site is run under their GalaBingo.co.uk domain name.

An insider at Gala Bingo informed us that they had tried to acquire the galabingo.com domain name on several occassions over the past few years, without success due to the registrant not responding to requests. Recently, the contact for the domain name was rendered invalid by ICANN (the head body of dot com domain names) and as a result the domain name eventually expired.

In what might come as a shock to industry heavyweights, the dot com version of the biggest name in UK bingo went to auction – awarded to the highest bidder.

At this time, we’ve been unable to ascertain if Gala Group purchased the domain name, however if they didn’t surely they’ll be kicking themselves today.

Stay tuned to us here at BingoPort.co.uk for further updates on this and more online bingo news.
