Hula Beach Bingo is a new bingo game for the iOS and Android platforms that plays like classic bingo, except with a significant twist. This game and those who developed it claim that you can win real life money by playing it. Not only that, but they claim that you can win a significant amount of money for not a whole lot of playing time.
Are you able to, though? Is this game a scam or legit? This is the question that we are going to be taking a deep dive into for the rest of this article.
Keep reading for a breakdown on whether Hula Beach Bingo is a scam or legitimate!
To start, the gameplay is classic bingo without any real twists. There are no power ups to help you find more combos on the board. You simply wait for a ball with your number, then you tap the spot that corresponds.
You can play with multiple bingo tickets at a time, unlike most other mobile bingo games. You can play with either one, two, or four tickets; make sure that you are able to keep up with however many tickets you choose.
Unlike other bingo games that claim to earn you money, this one does not pit you against other players for wagering. Instead, you simply play a game of bingo on your own, and the winnings seem to pile up; in fact, they pile up very quickly.
Quick winnings and fast money, believe it or not, are actually generally a negative sign when it comes to figuring out whether the game is legit or a scam. If the developer paid out everybody who won, then they would go bankrupt immediately, so they’re definitely not paying everyone. Are they paying anyone?
To figure this out, go to the reviews in the App Store and see what people are saying. In the case of this game, people are saying that they are having a lot of trouble getting their money. Nobody has posted that they have actually gotten their money, but plenty of people have either said that you have to make $1000, and then when they try to cash out, you have to wait 24 hours, then you have to watch a bunch of ads, and more and more caveats continue to pop up and throw the player for an endless loop.
In fact, with one of the most recent updates to the game, the option to withdraw your money has been removed entirely. This means that it’s now simply just a bingo game, rather than a bingo game that claims to earn you money. The good news is that nobody put in a deposit, so nobody lost any money, but nobody is winning any money, either.
With all of that being said, we feel confident in ruling that this game is not legit. There is simply no way to get the money that the game tells you that you are earning, or to earn it like the advertisements claim that you would be able to. This is simply just a semi-fun bingo game with a low pressure playing style and not too many advertisements.
