Are there any good US bingo sites?

[Prop]

I've learned a lot the past year about UK bingo sites and virtually nothing about the US. Are there any good options to affiliate on the US side? feedback appreciated.

[suffolkpoker]

currently there are no viable options if you (the affiliate) and the player want to be paid & treated fairly - especially if your concerned with working with programs who have people in place with a "better than unfavorable" track record.

By this i mean its currently unregulated and mainly unlicensed if they have got a license its probably from costa rica. Unlike sports betting sites, bingo operators based out of costa rica are more inclined to run away or do players/affiliates wrong whether intentional or not.

The conversions and retentions are horrible at best.

Thanks, though this part I'd bet against:

if they have got a license its probably from costa rica.

Costa Rica doesn't offer licenses. Occasionally gambling sites claim they are Costa Rica licensed, but these are scams or inexperienced reps making a rookie mistake, though some knowingly repeat this in an attempt to deceive.

Again, thanks for response

costa rica license bit was written whilst rolling my eyes (sarcastically).

I promote the cyber affiliate brands. Get paid timely every month from them and they allow US players. Here is a link for Bingo Fest http://affiliates.vistagamingaffilia...btag=a_62b_324 then you can just click the affiliates link. I have absolutly nothing bad to say about them. Few other sites I promote at USA Internet Bingo - Bingo for USA Residents check them out if you want.

Thanks. It does appear though they have concerning terms through not sure am reading it right:

Questionable Term

-Players can request a payout from their winnings only. The amounts cannot exceed their Player Account cash balance, which must be in good standing.

-Players can request a payout if they wish to close their Player's account. Any unpaid or outstanding charges will be subtracted from their account balance in the event of charge-backs.

-Players CANNOT request a payout from deposits made to their account unless they wish to cash out and close their Player Account. Requesting payouts from their account balance derived from deposits and not wins will be deemed a cash advance from CyberBingoTM and a misuse of our online purchasing system. In such cases, CyberBingoTM may levy a surcharge to offset transaction and administrative costs.

This seems to indicate a player deposits $100 plays a bunch wants to cash out $120.00. In order to do so they are forced to close their account or only $20 can be cashed out. And could be charged a fee if they request this not reading the absurd term.

If this wasn't bad enough.

Questionable Term #2

-To maintain an active status on the website a minimum deposit is required at least once every 30 days. The games will not be accessible to players who do not make a deposit every 30 days, regardless if the player account has a balance consisting of either cash, winnings and/or bonuses. Players will have access to request a withdrawal from their cash/winnings balance without having to place a deposit every 30 days. Please note this process is automated and non-reversible. No exceptions or exemptions can or will be granted to this rule. Bonuses are also subject to removal due to inactivity. For complete details refer to the website rules for eligibility for any compensation or bonus.

This seems to CLEARLY and NO EXCEPTIONS MADE indicate if you left $120.00 in your account frustrated could only cash out $20.00 and then came back to play after 30 days. You'd be forced to send them another deposit just to get access to the game. So now you have $140.00. You play a bunch have $160.00. you're in the same boat can only cash out $20.00. And you have 30 days more to play or your cash is locked again unless you send more money.

Most players don't read terms for one. However because they can close their account account and get paid (perhaps less an unspecified fee) it's not horrible. Still is quite odd and one of those we'll do anything possible to make things difficult on players who want to withdrawal. How ridiculous is it someone could have $2,000 in their account and have no access to play unless they send more. And the amount they send if they want to take it out this is money that can't be taken back without closing their account. I guess no choice if this is all there is and someone wants to play, but terms are concerning.

US Bingo sites is a dead end at the moment. Hopefully it will change at some point in the future. Greg here from PAL runs the Vista Gaming thing, not promoting those brands myself. I have sites from "bingo4affiliates" featured at my site, but the stats is just... not for real.

Tom on scale of 1 of 10 how confident are you of this opinion? Could there perhaps be one you're not familiar with?

Also any idea if Fun Time Bingo used to be reputable. I'm not sure if they even had players or an affiliate program. US side all brand new to me.
