The Challenge
Please don’t be alarmed when your FreeBingo balance resets to FB£1,000 instead of FB£4,000 at midnight tonight, this is not an error. This lower than usual reset is going to be an experiment for April – May to see if players can get through an entire month without completely running out of FB£s. Are you up to the challenge?
It may seem like a rather big drop, but actually our studies have shown that because of site improvements such as the daily cashback, minimum jackpots, progressive jackpots, extra jackpots and special competitions, our players are winning far more FB£s than they have ever done before. You only have to look at our FreeBingo leaderboard today to see there are players winning upwards of FB£50,000 within a month’s play!
OK, so they’re the lucky ones, but what about those who are not so lucky? Well I’ve looked into those too. As the leaderboard stands today, just a few hours before reset, there is only one player who has a balance lower than FB£3,000. In fact, if we had a loserboard showing 20 players with the lowest balances right now, it would look something like this:
| USERNAME | BALANCE |
| puntogirl | FB£3,950.00 |
| etwentysix | FB£3,950.00 |
| aror144 | FB£3,949.13 |
| almond | FB£3,948.75 |
| 24jenny | FB£3,942.00 |
| suki1324 | FB£3,940.00 |
| buck | FB£3,938.60 |
| scoobydoo | FB£3,935.00 |
| domsnan | FB£3,934.00 |
| rushy456 | FB£3,932.80 |
| leslie52 | FB£3,925.00 |
| devilcat36 | FB£3,919.50 |
| casinolady | FB£3,915.00 |
| lovesexy | FB£3,905.40 |
| girlsrus | FB£3,905.00 |
| karenb | FB£3,891.60 |
| dido29 | FB£3,842.65 |
| garden | FB£3,267.40 |
| xjenx | FB£3,089.18 |
| soalabbo | FB£1,636.68 |
As you can see, there is one player who under the new amount would have run out of FB£s, but this is just one person out of the 12,000 who have played this month, which clearly proves it is possible to get through the month on FB£1,000. I guess we’ll see in the next few weeks who is lucky enough to complete the challenge, and who will be desperately clinging on to their FreeBingo survival! LOL.
Joking aside, it is just a test for this month, and if it doesn’t work we will up the balance once again, but I am confident that it will. We’re a friendly bunch behind the scenes and will not leave a desperate player begging for FB£s to go un-noticed should they have a completely disastrous month and need topping up. All they have to do is ask. 
Let the challenge commence!
Always up for a challenge so….bring it on….;)
good idea the chat is better than the bingo and most of us come in for that
dear wayne can i have a top up now please in advance lol. can we have a challange see who can go bankrupt first? lol oh well let the fun begin
I’m up for a challenge Wayne, tho there have been times when i’ve lost 1000fbs in a day lol.
at last!!!! about a year ago i wrote in the forum that we were getting too many fbs,we used to get £1000 when i first came on here and it was a challenge to get through the month but it was so much more fun,now everyone wants to be top of lb and there is sometimes arguments in chat games over a few more fbs,,there is no fun at the moment it gets boring as you are just topping up all the time,less fbs is great and im up for the challenge well done xxx
what happens if say someone runs out of credit on a sat morning, they will have to go all weekend without playing
why did I lose FB£4000 dont seem fair will run out now
Thank you for your comments. I think from a fun and excitement point of view, this change is needed to spice things up again. Don’t worry about running out just yet, there is a long way to go and we will be introducing new settings in some of the rooms so players can get hold of FB£s quickly if they’re low.
400 pound jackpots make it hard for us little players to get on the leaderboard and stay there no fun in the leaderboard challenge any more
Yes steviesmom we see that too, that is why the XJP has been changed so now players must claim within 58 balls, not 60 to win.
good on ya wayne maybe us little peeps might get a look in lol xxx
I’m up for a challenge anytime – so lets see how long i last lol
Just gutted that at 12.15am last night after i won tourny someone was showing as having over 7k and i was looking forward to a once in a lifetime event – being top of the leaderboard – gutted!!!!! lol
good thats better thankyou wayne
SEE I CANT EVEN GET ON LOOSERS BOARD
I cannot get on the leaderboard full stop lol xxxx
i only have £2664.75 and yet i’m not on losers board lol
Excellent idea Wayne just like the good old days keep it at 1,000 FBS makes it more interesting
