Do you ever feel like, perhaps through you lack of winnings, that online bingo is fixed? That the system is by some way tampered so only the casino company wins and the players never see any sign of the winnings?The reality of the matter is the software used to operate online bingo uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) and consequently all the numbers and outcomes generated are purely random and based on luck.
Approved sites
Having said this it is important that players who play on bingo and casino sites, which have been approved by an official online casino regulator. An approved site will have undergone vigorous testing and regulation to ensure it adheres to the standards set by the online gambling industry, including making sure outcomes are created by Random Number Generators and are therefore in no ways tampered with and fixed.
Heavy Deposit Effect
With this in mind you may wonder why it is common for certain players to keep cropping up as winners. The truth of the matter is that such players are likely to be purchasing the biggest amount of cards you can buy for a given game, thus improving their chances of winning. Despite winning more often, such players are making hefty deposits into games, which can be offset against their winnings. As a result these players might not have won as much as you may think!This is known as the ‘Heavy Deposit Effect’, which is actually so prevalent that the gambling regulator in Gibraltar put on their page about ‘How to Complain’ some guidance about the effect.To overcome the problem of certain players buying a hefty load of tickets, some bingo sites have set up rules whereby the maximum amount of tickets that can be purchased for a specific game is relatively low.
