Bingoz has been moved

Bingoz has been moved, not removed.

Has anyone else noticed Bingoz has gone missing?

Just yesterday or the day before, I noticed the Bingoz link from the Kinzville Times is gone! It's been replaced by a link with information about Deluxe accounts, "Why go deluxe?". I noticed because I played Bingoz just the day before the link went missing. Look in the top right corner:

While removed from the daily activities tab, the link on the front page of the Kinzville Times was also a way to access Bingoz. I believe Bingoz was having problems, and in my experience it reset everyday and said there were dozens of winners all the time. Either that was an error, people are getting really lucky by using a combination of coupons and balls, or are somehow taking advantage of the system using multiple coupons even though it was supposed to limited to 5 a day.

Bingoz is available in the top right corner in Today's Activities in the Things To Do tab or from the front page of the Kinzville Times. (Thank you Kimber21)

(Also notice that an extra Wacky's Bingoz ball is available in the Hourly Events, which occurs time to time).

When will we see Bingoz working again? Will we see Bingoz working again? Do you think they removed the link just because people (like me on occasion) were still playing a broken game? Did you even like Bingoz? Would you care if it was gone?

Let me know what you think.

The link has not been removed, but moved. Click on the Today's activites link from the newspaper and the bnigoz link is there. Picture attached.

This happened on two of our accounts. I contacted Ganz and a nice rep couldn't figure it out either. A supervisor then came to the phone and told me to clear my cache again ( a second time). it then appeared. You may have to clear your cache twice before the box appears.

"B 1" and good luck!!

Good eye, Kimber21! I wouldn't have noticed, and didn't notice in your picture at first either. I had to log on and then I saw it.

I haven't done bingo through today's activities for a very long time, so I wouldn't have noticed.

It's still buggy, so I don't think it's worth playing for some time yet.

Yeah, a lot of people don't anymore because it's had so many problems. I don't blame you.

It wouldn't really matter to me if they removed the game. It has been so glitchy for the last year or so that I don't bother playing anymore. If they fixed it, that would be cool, cause I like real bingo! But as is, I wouldn't miss it.

I agree with Smog, it seems that all the attention has gone to Deluxe accounts, when really Ganz should be focusing on fixing their current problems before the new ones come around.

I haven't played Bingoz for a long time. I can't even remember when I played last. I do have lots of coupons that go unused though...

So, I don't really mind that it has gone missing.

I like bingo a lot too. I really enjoyed it while it worked - while it was winnable!

By "the new ones" do you mean the new problems (that would come with deluxe and other updates)?

It does seem like a lot of focus is on deluxe accounts, and the estore. This is likely because both of those aspects of Webkinz are more profitable. But everyone needs to be happy to keep the site running, to keep Webkinz flying off the shelves.
