We made a boo-boo this past Monday with the scheduled 2nd Chance Bingo event – so we’re going to make it up to those members that had qualified for this week’s 2nd chance by hosting another event on Thursday, April 15th from 6pm to 8pm EST.

Qualified member’s will receive an invite shortly from BingoVega.com & if you have qualified, you will see the Lucky Strike room from the bingo vega game lobby on Thursday, April 15th at 6pm EST.

Good luck.

This past Monday was the International Women’s Day – and we are embarrassed that we let this one slip at Bingo Vega. But we’re going to make it up – as this important date cannot go without being honored.

[ADDED NOTE 3/11] Hi all, just wanted to make it clear we will award the $5 free bb for valid entries on Tuesday, March 16th and select top 5 stories by Friday, March 19th.

Thanks for participating and we look forward to your stories.

How about it – will you help us improve the 2nd chance bingo service?

Many of you are unhappy about the current crieteria and feel it doesn’t reward those who truly deserve a 2nd chance. At BingoVega.com we believe the 2nd chance is a great feature and added perk at being a bingovega member. But we’ll be the first to admit, since we launched the free bingo feature, the criteria hasn’t been perfect.

But we want to change that and believe it can be done with your help.

How about it, join us in our facebook discussion on what should be the new criteria for the 2nd chance qualification.

Thank you to our loyal members for caring enough to share their feedback on our Facebook fan page through out the past few days.

Over the past few weeks, we have rolled out a series of improvements to our game rooms. We are very excited about the new games, lineups and variety of ways you can play bingo across all the Bingo Vega rooms.

Some of you have voiced that you’re not happy with pot sizes in Little Dipper and we have addressed that by adding a starting seed to every game that plays and have introduced a $1,500 min. $15 coverall and most importantly we have made the PJP more favourable to win now.

As a result, after several months, the Little Dipper PJP was hit at $3,000 this past Friday – congrats AlexaMarie!!!!

You will continue to see the PJP in little dipper be hit more frequently now as a result of these changes.

Now what happened to the penny $50 guaranteed games, $100 guaranteed nickel games and the non stop $20 guaranteed games?

In simple terms – we were not covering our basic costs by running these games. Yes, that’s right, like any other successful bingo site, we first need to make sure our games are not putting the site in a negative. In Vega’s case, not only were these games not profitable, they had dug us into the blistering red

Here’s how: for every $1 wagered in little dipper, we were giving away $2.00 in prize. That’s a negative of -50%. Surely we’re not in the business of running a short term business – in fact, we’re planning to be around for a very long time and to ensure we can keep our doors open, we have made a series of improvements that we believe position bingovega.com to offer exciting games, more ways to win and allow us to grow our community so we can offer more super exciting special pots.

We’re pleased to hear many of our members are enjoying the new games and sessions and equally so we are listening to the few members who are not happy with what was quoted “measly pots”.

Anytime we make an improvement to the community, we risk the chance of upsetting some of our loyal members – and for us this is a very difficult decision. But at times, as a business we’re forced to make difficult decisions to ensure the success of our community for the long run and these recent improvements as we believe are “improvements” are just that.

We are optimistic about these improvements as we believe they will help us achieve our goals of offering you not only the best bonuses, most winners but also the best prizes. In addition, these new improvements will position us to roll out a series of new improvements that we feel will certainly excite all of our members.

So stay tuned, keep sending us your feedback and together we will keep improving vega to become the #1 online bingo site.

Thank you.

It’s 5am and you’re wondering why is Joel up this early in the morning on a Saturday? Besides being an early riser I couldn’t wait to share with you some good news.

As some of you know, last week, on our newsletter (Jan 15 – 20 Issue) we ran a quick survey asking you two simple questions:

1. What’s 1 thing you love at BingoVega.com
2. What’s 1 thing you think we should do differently at BingoVega.com

Well, we received some amazing feedback and I wanted to let the community know, your voice matters at Bingo Vega and most importantly, it is heard.

As a result of your suggestions, here are some of the new iniatives we will be rolling out in the coming days and weeks:

1. Send out scratch cards every month for a chance to win free bingo prizes and cash
2. Offer a debit card payout solution – we’re working on this and hope to have it ready soon
3. Faster crediting of BBs of your chat wins – we will toss out the 24 hour waiting period and implement a speedier crediting system in the weeks to come
4. Smaller deposits amount – right now, the minimum deposit at vega is $25, we’ll be introducing a $10 and $20 level as well in the coming days
5. Instant crediting of funding bonus
6. More game and pattern varieties across all bingo rooms
7. A room with variety of card costs and prizes (we actually tested this last night as part of the Friday Mixer Event)
8. Give BBs back on payout flow back

Over the course of the next few days and weeks, we’ll be rolling out some of these new changes. Stay tuned to the vega blog, facebook fan page and newsletter for all the details.

If you have any other ideas and suggestions, please leave them in the comment box below – thank you.

Wanted to wish everyone of you an amazing Halloween weekend filled with excitement and tons of goodies. Even though our trick or treat days are way behind us, this Halloween we wanted to make you feel the same excitement at BingoVega as you used to have when you trick or treated.

Hope you enjoy the scary bonus 500% Special along with all the other Halloween specials we have in store for you today.

Happy Halloween,
From All of us at the BingoVega Family

I’d like to personally apologize to the community for the sudden change on the Garage Sale special for Wednesday. I had no idea this change would disappoint many of you, but due to CM scheduling we had to quickly modify the special.

I’d like to personally thank hollas4reddollas for keeping me accountable, who was extremely disappointed as a result of this change.

As I wrote to hollas4reddollas, you’re right, the change is unfair and I should have been more responsible in informing the entire community ahead of time regards the change. This was very silly and unprofessional on my part and I’m very sorry for the inconvenience I have personally caused you.

On the 8th anniversary of the tragedies of September 11th, we will take a moment of silence today between 11:00am – 11:15am to pay our respect to the victims and families of those effected.

I think our President’s message to New Yorkers today said it best:

Eight years ago, on an ordinary Tuesday morning, nearly 3,000 lives were lost in the deadliest attack on American soil in our history.

It was an event that forever changed the life of this city. And it was a tragedy that will be forever seared in the consciousness of our nation.

Every year on this day, we are all New Yorkers.

We pause to remember the victims, to grieve with the families and friends of those who died, and to honor the heroes of that day and each day since who have sacrificed to save lives and serve their country.

We will never forget the images of planes vanishing into buildings; of billowing smoke rolling down the streets of Manhattan; of photos hung by the families of the missing.
