Views on Coins in the Lottery (13/04/2011)
On 1st reading that post informing us of the new coin and points lottery i was very happy with the idea. Coins or points what more could we ask for but after earning my first coins last night im not so sure.
Over the months i have increased both my status and lottery level to the max. Which means i never get less then 1000 points. To get to this level i had to give up my hard earned coins. Was gutted last night when i only got 5 bronze which in a points exchange is only worth 500 points.
I would have hoped and expected from oh my bingo that we would still get the same minimum depending on our status,so i and everyone else on max level for lottery should get at least 10 bronze coins.
Am i the only one who feels this way and are you all happy with the set up for getting coins instead of points? maybe a better way would be to get coins if your points level is over 5000 points and your not able to get lottery points. I know I'm playing devils advocate but somebody has to see the negative side of things as well as the plus sides to this side.

 OMB_Manager13th Apr 2011 | Hi there, coins are actually more valuable than the exchange would dictate...because you have to win them. So you've got them to keep now - whereas the points you might lose on the bingo. Also, it's far far far more common to win OMPs in the lottery :) |
| pansy 13th Apr 2011 | It would be a good idea if you were over 5000 points and you got coins jules |
| jaseyboi 14th Apr 2011 | Hmmm this is interesting - I had also wrongly assumed that coin wins would be alligned to status. Whilst I can see what OMB are saying in terms of a 'concrete win'; realistically with the new rates of exchange I do not know of any of my peers that currently save bronze in order to accumulate them, thus it is understandable that some would feel slightly short changed. |
| cagsywagsy 14th Apr 2011 | this is the only thing ive not upgraded i only seem to get a big win when im over the daily limit lol which is pants - i think we should get the lottery every day no matter how many points we have-today i win 100 points woop woop ty mr manager how come your on top rank?ive not seen you on bingo sooooooo where ya pinching ya golds from pmsl oooo |
 wooiwin14th Apr 2011 | good idea and gl x |
| chianty 14th Apr 2011 | I agree there should not be a points limit to lotto, also I spent my hard earned golds upgrading to possible 4000, and for the last 3 days at least the most lotto I've recieved is 1400 points, I do not think this is at all fair either |
| anigma10 14th Apr 2011 | to be honest don't pay that much attention to all of this,as for me OMB has become now centered around the free bingo on site,yet when i joined (only 60 odd members on)wasso much better as could chose to use your points on whatever bingo site you wished,i found this so different from all the other free bingo hunter/freebie sites i'm on |
| chianty 14th Apr 2011 | you do have a point angima, there was no bingo when I joined OMB, but they have come on so much now, they have created a great site, as you can tell by all the new players. |
| SAFCFAN 15th Apr 2011 | good idea and gl |
| lin 15th Apr 2011 | Quite right jules, I like you upgraded to min. 1000 points and find today my lotto is 5 bronze coins which in reality does not constitute 1000 points. Please omb managers sort this out as we used our very hard earned coins to upgrade to get min. 1000 points |
| wooiwin 16th Apr 2011 | good idea gl x |
