GSN's Bingo America Coming March 31st

Saturday February 2, 2008
This sounds like a lot of fun. GSN is bringing bingo back with a twist, in a game that combines quiz show elements with the traditional bingo card setup. Bingo America will also feature an interactive game-within-the-game in which viewers can download free bingo cards from GSN.com and play along at home.

The host for Bingo America is Patrick Duffy. If you're from my generation or older, you'll know him as Bobby Ewing on Dallas.You younger folks might recognize Duffy as the dad in the sitcom Step by Step. Either way, he seems like an interesting choice as a game show host, and I'll be looking forward to seeing him in action!

Bingo America premieres Monday, March 31st at 7pm Eastern on GSN. Game cards will be available to download from GSN.com beginning March 28th.

It will be interesting to see how the show fairs, National Bingo Night by ABC didn’t make it to a second season. Hopefully they can improve on the format and make it work without the cheesiness of National Bingo Night.

cant print a card. website down. now what?

(11) gameshows says:

Hi folks. I understand it’s frustrating to run into problems with the Bingo America cards - I’m getting the same “error/website is down page” you are.

I’m not affiliated with GSN or Bingo America at all, and neither is About.com. When their website is back up, check there for a contact e-mail address (if I can find one, I’ll post it here for you), and send them a note expressing your frustration. I’m sure they were just overwhelmed with the response.

March 31, 2008 at 7:24 pm
(12) Martha says:

you need to have a better site to print theses cards there has been no way to print them out to many complaint

March 31, 2008 at 7:24 pm
(13) Donna says:

still trying to print a card. Patrick Duffy keeps saying print a card. NO SUCH LUCK. hope they fix this problem. very frustrating when you want to be a part of the action.

(15) jo savage says:

have been trying to print cards all day. Watching show and still can’t print cards! Why not?

March 31, 2008 at 7:46 pm
(16) bingo says:

Why would these guys make up a site and tell you to go and login and the blame thing doesn’t work???!!!! They didn’t think we were watching or something.

(17) Dale says:

Been looking foward so much for this bingo show We printed cards with no problem but come to find out we dont get GSN is it a pay channel? or is there another channel it will be on all we have is basic cable

April 1, 2008 at 8:16 am
(18) gameshows says:

The site is partially back up now - you can sign up and print Bingo Cards now at least.

Dale, I think you’d have to check with your cable provider to find out if they offer GSN with your service package. I’m in Canada, and it’s not part of our basic package here - I’m sure it’s different where you are though!

(21) Patricia Volkmann says:

I printed out my cards, but can’t find which
channel it is on, so can’t play !

(22) cathy says:

my sister won bingo and it wont let her redeem the card.It keeps saying it was not printed from that computer she only has one computer.She tried to email gsn support but has not gotten any response.

April 4, 2008 at 9:36 pm
(23) Jackie says:

It appears I have several winning cards. However, aftering entering the code I get an “Opps” reply indicating not a winner. One in particular has a bonus #57 on the card itself and it is still not a winner? I alson have a card with all 3 announced bonus numbers giving me 3 Bingos on one card. Still not a winner. How can you win like this?

April 6, 2008 at 11:09 pm
(24) Sonia says:

I missed the unique code number displayed on April 4th, does anyone remember it?

April 8, 2008 at 8:12 am
(25) Carol says:

I have been trying for days to print bingo cards but to no avail. The tech support just keeps telling me to check the date and time on my computer, like thats really going to help. Somebody needs to learn how to program a website.

(26) aida says:

well i just printed my bingo card, i am ready to play tomorrow, will come back and give my comment. how much cards can a person play at a time? i am a bingo player but i cannot leave the house anymore so i will surely enjoy this game.

April 11, 2008 at 4:06 pm
(27) Kandi says:

Why don’t they have a way to get the Bingo Numbers when a person misses the show. Like for intance I missed April 10th Bingo America and Would Like to get the Bingo Numbers for that show. I have The Bingo America Cards For April 10th. I missed the show last night because the power went out here last night and did not get back on till after the show was done.

(29) DONNA says:

TO PRINT CARDS YOU HAVE TO REGISTER AND SIGN IN EVER TIME.THEN YOU CAN PRINT ALL TEN CARDS ONE SET AT A TIME.TO WATCH THE SHOW YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET GSN GAME CHANNEL.IN MY AREA ITS CHANNEL 340

(30) helen says:

I think this stinks. I can’t register without having a ton of problems. I would rather go to a bingo hall then to try to play this game on t.v. Good luck to those who get thru. win big and break the bank.

April 17, 2008 at 9:44 pm
(31) Fran says:

I have no trouble printing cards but have not Bingoed as yet, hope I don’t have the same problem and they not honor my bingo.

April 18, 2008 at 11:44 pm
(32) josie says:

Every time I try to print the bingo cards it states adobe flash 9 is not detected. I have installed it but still am unable to print cards. What exactly is the problem???

April 23, 2008 at 8:03 pm
(33) Tonya says:

cant even register, no matter what I put down for a name, it is already being used. You cant even imagine the names I have put down. Pretty suspicious to me, just as well, if I were to be able to register, I probably couldnt print cards- Sounds like if its not one thing, its another- There is enough pain and suffering in life, that I dont need anymore, good luck to the rest of you.

(34) Bhoyle67 says:

how do find the bingo number for the game that play on that day so that you can check your bingo cards

May 19, 2008 at 1:06 pm
(35) gameshows says:

Bhoyle67, they don’t archive the numbers anywhere - you have to watch the show to get the winning numbers unfortunately.

If anyone is still having troubles with the registration or printing the cards, you can contact GSN at community@gsn.com - they’ve promised to reply within 24 hours. Or check here for more details:

(37) audrey sharp says:

I have a winning bingo card and no way in hell
to tell you about it. must be a scam

June 20, 2008 at 9:22 am
(38) gameshows says:

Hi Audrey - the show is in reruns at the moment, but will return in the Fall.

There have been lots of winners who have already received their $50 payments, so I’m positive it’s not a scam!
