Today, we’ve launched a new process to get winnings into your hands faster than ever before.
Two days ago, claiming a prize was a pretty elaborate process — with emails to read, paperwork to print and fill out and mail or fax back to us… Starting today, all that is a thing of the past!
Now, when you win a prize at Gamesville.com, you can claim it by visiting: gamesville.com/wins
Congratulations to Mysista1957 of Sacramento, CA, who won $3,333 last night playing Three-Eyed Bingo!
We paid out two big jackpots this week to the proud city of Sacramento, CA, qualifying the “Untamed City” for a new GV record. But do you know which state actually has the most Three-Eyed Bingo winners?
In the last year, we’ve had 30 Three-Eyed Bingo winners. Four states had two lucky winners apiece: New York, Kentucky, Georgia, and Arizona. Texas had three big winners. But the #1 spot belongs to the ol’ sunshine state: Florida had SIX big winners in the last year, for a combined total winnings of $15,693.
Congratulations to Netmcevers of Sacramento, CA, who won $2,838 TODAY playing Magic 21!
Netmcevers’ hometown of Sacramento, CA, is also home to a Giant Coke Cup (with a giant straw!). Located on the corner of Arena Way and Gateway Park Blvd., this three-story Coke cup can be seen from the street and is illuminated at night. For more (including a picture) check out Roadside America…
The only thing worse than being part of the profession that helped facilitate the current worldwide economic crisis?
Being part of the profession that helped facilitate the current worldwide economic crisis — and getting caught at work looking at pictures of naked women on live TV!
Watch this video — it’s a normal, boring business newscast until about 1:08 when things take a very embarrassing turn…
That doesn’t look like appropriate use of office equipment, now, does it?
At Gamesville, we’re proud — and happy! — to give away more cash prizes to more people than virtually any other games site on the planet.
Soon, we’re going to launch a new initiative that will get those prizes into your hands faster than ever before.
Today, claiming a prize is a very manual process — there are emails to read, links to click, paperwork to print and fill out and mail or fax back to us, that we then need to process and validate in order to finally cut and send out winnings.
We’re in the process of testing a new automated method of claiming prizes that will move all this processing online. No more emails to lose in spam filters. No more papers to print and fax back to us.
Prizes just don’t stop around here!
Between the time I posted that article about about Zuookie’s big win and about 10 minutes ago, we had a winner in Super Chef (looking at you, jcbigbird)… three winners in Bingo Zone (congrats, Muffrus, Mary49mi, and Cohoward321)… and another CatchUp CoverAll winner!
Congrats are in order for Briannam25! This daughter of Orting, WA, is a Gold member, so her CoverAll prize automatically doubled from $230 to $460. Well done!
Useless Fact
Pacific chorus frogs from Orting, Washington, invaded Alaska last December, hitchhiking their way into the state on imported Christmas trees. Read more about their trials and tribulations at the Anchorage Daily News…
This weekend Gamesviller Zuookie of Lansing, MI, won $397 playing CatchUp CoverAll at Gamesville!
Normally, this is where we’d celebrate her hometown with a useless fact — and we’ll do that in a second — but I also wanted to give a shout-out to Crickettot, a frequent commenter in the Blog who’s been trying hard to win — and finally hit it in Bingo Zone this weekend (along with 54 other Bingo Zone winners this past Saturday and Sunday).
So congratulations to Zuookie, to Crickettot, and to all this weekend’s winners!
Useless Fact
Zuookie and Crickettot both hail from the fine state of Michigan… which, I admit, is more a Trippy Coincidence than a Useless Fact. BUT did you know that Crickettot’s hometown of Harrison and Zuookie’s hometown of Lansing combine to form Harrison Lansing, a freelance photograper from British Columbia, Canada? Believe it!

We can’t decide — is this funny? Is it unsanitary? Is it… both?
Last week, our Community Manager ohryankelley left Gamesville for a new job in a new town and I want to take a moment to thank OH! for all the great work he’s done and wish him the very best for the future.

His departure means two things: 1) yours truly is going to be taking a more active role in posting articles to the blog (not just commenting), and — more importantly — 2) we’re using our hi-powered binoculars to search for a new Community Manager!
If you live in the Boston area and think you’re perfect for the role, please contact us through our jobs page. Meanwhile, we’ll keep on keeping on — and look forward to seeing you in the games.
Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
Manager, Gamesville.com

Bottom line: When the inevitable robot uprising happens, look to the kitties to defend us!
