Is online bingo fixed or are the big sites fair these days?


Everyday, thousands play online bingo in their favorite sites. If you play bingo regularly, you know how disappointing it is to lose time after time, especially when you always have a few numbers left to claim a bingo. At times, you may have also thought about the possibility of game fixing in your favorite site.

While many players have considered the possibility of game fixing in the sites they play because of some names always coming up in the winners list, the possibility of this happening in the big sites has rarely been considered.

Popular bingo sites deal with hundreds of players every day in every bingo room, and the number of bingo tickets sold run in thousands. In such profitable operations, game fixing puts to risk the gaming operations because of the stringent gambling laws that are implemented by the country. A popular online brand will not tarnish its reputation with game fixing just to favor a few players or to earn extra cash from the scam. Besides the gambling commission, the industry has many watchdogs, such as the thriving online bingo communities in every site.


Fair play is ensured by bingo operators through the use of secure software platforms and random number generators (RNG). The RNG in every site is fully certified and verified to select completely random numbers for every game and in generating each bingo ticket. There is no set pattern to the system to ensure that players get 100% fair and random numbers. The RNG use sophisticated encryption or algorithms to produce each sequence of numbers in every bingo game. There are no patterns to these sequences, and the numbers are completely randomized.

Any cheating to be done in online bingo involves tampering with the random number generator. Technically, this will be a very difficult procedure as the RNG is designed to come up with random results. The software platform on which the bingo games run are developed and furnished by large gaming software companies, and is in reality not owned by the operator of the bingo site. Thus, tampering with the software to fix games is as difficult as tampering with the random number generator.

 What many players fail to consider when they grumble about game fixing by online bingo sites is that the operation is designed to take in profits in every game. For every ticket sold, only a certain percentage goes back to the jackpot prizes, the maintenance of the online site, and other overhead expenses. Operators will not risk losing their license for such profitable operation, because the more players an online site recruits to every game, the higher the profitability of the site.

In online bingo, the probability of numbers being drawn by the RNG is the same probability for a live caller drawing out the number from a bingo machine. Cheating or game fixing with the RNG is a farfetched possibility. Allegations of game fixing have negative effects on the online bingo sites, since many players will just transfer to another site to play their favorite games. Thus, it is to the interest of the bingo site management to squelch such talks, and to further improve the security of their operations to prevent employees from resorting to these practices.
Online bingo games are fair as far as the execution of games is concerned, and players should learn to trust the sites where they play their favorite games.
