After many years of playing online bingo
Mar 8th, 2008 by bingo
In today’s blog session we are going to talk about a commonly used term ‘House’ players.
A ‘House’ player is used in reference by many online bingo players as a person who works for the website or a pre-programmed robot whom’ participate in common bingo games in hopes of taking bingo wins away from the loyal members. The robot or person therefore would increase the odds for the house (the bingo hall or casino) in an unfair manner. Is it a Myth or is there truth behind this?
Why would such a term be created and used in online bingo?
The main reason that the term ‘house’ player has come about is because being behind the computer screen automatically creates a barrier between the player and the site. This is something a player would never experience playing in a land based bingo hall as they are able to physically see the runners, callers and other players they are competing against.
For an online bingo site to achieve the same level of trust players must continue playing and having a good experience before they can fully trust the bingo site. Trust is measured at Bingo by having a secure funding page, securing private player information, offering a 24 hr live person service, interacting with members on a daily basis, and paying out all winnings religiously.
After many years of playing online bingo one may realize that there is a better chance of winning by buying more cards, carefully choose which rooms and times to play where there is less competition, and actively participate in chat games to earn extra bonus bucks to increase their playing time. However, that just makes them a bingo player, not a ‘house’ player.
Proving there are no ‘house’ players
You are able to see the player count and prize increment game to game. As a consumer, you should question websites that do not show you how many players are participating in a game. It is only fair to know your odds of winning a game based on the players playing within the given bingo room.
