Hello, We have recently put together the hosting system which allows for greater transparency in regards to what numbers are being used, who is buying in, who is refunded and who is awarded the prizes in a side game. Along with the details of the bingo games which are available to all players who have participated, you can compare the bingo calls in a game to the numbers that all players obtained in the side games. This makes it easier for the participants to verify the winners are correct; as the host cannot change any numbers. Everything is logged in the system. If you believe that a host has wrongly credited a winner, we would ask that you keep the sidegameid and the bingo gameid numbers handy and provide them to us so that we can conduct an investigation. Regards, Customer Care
