What are the Gold balls?

The Gold balls represent chances to win additional GV Rewards. If you daub numbers on your cards that match the gold bingo balls, you'll win bonus GV Rewards. NOTE: The numbers can appear in the stated pattern or outside the stated pattern.

If I daub outside the pattern (for example, to claim a Gold ball), will I jeopardize my win?

No. If I daub outside the pattern (for example, to claim a Gold ball), you will not jeopardize your win.

Our system only checks to verify that you daub the balls that match the stated pattern, regardless of whether they're gold or not.

To win, what matters is that you daub the balls that match the stated pattern and click "Bingo" before the game ends.

How do I close the eyes that are following me around?

If, for any reason, you want to close the eyes in the middle "free" space of your cards, simply click the eye and it will close. (After all, nobody likes being poked in the eye, right?)

Why does the ball caller sometimes pause and then call out a bunch of balls in a row?

Gamesville requires a constant connection between your computer and our servers. This is because the game on your computer is constantly "talking" with our servers, and vice versa, communicating information about GV Rewards, chat messages, balls called, and so on.

If anything interferes with that connection--for example, if your Internet Service Provider goes down for maintenance or experiences a network "hiccup"--you will not receive the latest ball called on your computer, even while others do on theirs. When the network interference on your end clears up, all the balls that have stacked up in those few seconds will come racing down toward you, making it seem like our bingo caller, Dickie, is suddenly on speed.

If I enter a game late, do I have less of a chance of winning?

Your odds of winning a game are not diminished if you enter the game after it has already started.

When you enter a game in progress, you are automatically sent ALL the bingo balls you have missed since you last received one. So while you will need to "catch up" for a moment or two if you enter mid-game, you should quickly get right into the thick of things on an equal basis with everyone else playing that game.

(Of course, there are exceptions: For example, if you enter a game when virtually all balls have already been called -- meaning there are a scant few moments left in the game -- then the few moments it may take you to get caught up may keep you on the sidelines while players who have been in the game all along pounce on the one or two balls they need to win!)
