Excellent article. I appreciate an honest, forth-right approach to a situation such as this. Keep up the good work.

This an awsome site. I think if people have to question whether or not this an honest site, then they should play somewhere else.

whenever the ad for webfetti is on it slows down my computer. Sometimes i miss the first chance at frantic fish or magic 21.

i would think if the games were made easier to win like its was when the sight first set up,it would genrerate more players. thus making for more advertizement snd more money .........just might thought

i,ve played this site since it first  hit the web,,,i use to win every weeksomes twice in 1 week but since the switch over i have not won a thing ,,, i can honedty say gamesville is honest ..they pay off right away ..no guestions ...no waiting long periods of time for the check...and you don,t lose your money because you didn,t claim it in time.......i love this site

I am glad you posted the article, I have been asked so many times by new players do people really win.   Although I personally never have, I have friends who have.  Keep up the good work, alot of hard working people come to this site to relax and visit with their friends.

I won a few small cash prizes back in the early days of gamesville when there was a speed blackput coverall bingo game that was a blast. You had to put little check marks in the boxes and refresh for new balls. I would say i won abot 75$ overall. The site has changed a lot since those days but it's still fun.

Wednesday, 16 January 2008 - 10:50 AM EST

I have been a member on this site since 2002 , I haven't won but I knew people that did. I would love to win and I wish that they would go back to smaller more frequent prizes. I don't understnad these people that keep saying it's a hoax. If you feel that way then go somewhere else. Some people just play for the fun of playing.

the webfetti ads mess up my whole game..it freezes????? why???

Friday, 18 January 2008 - 8:37 AM EST

ya, thats great that you have all these sponsers, but do you realize that THEY are the ones causing ALL these problems??? their ads freeze the games, and spam our ability to play your games.... so yes, its great that they "pay" for us to play, but sometimes i think the price is too high, when i have to keep quiting during intermission because and ad has frozen my game.

Friday, 18 January 2008 - 8:00 PM EST

Love this game site!  I've been playing for years!  Wish you would consider less jackpots and more frequent winners.  I think you would have even more players if people won more often. I never won, but I keep trying!

I've been playing at gamesville since 1998 when i got my first computer on the internet.  I don't win any money here.  I play and I play and I play and in don't win any money here.  I've had a lot of fun wasting time here but i found a site that lets you have fun wasint time and they pay you.  So thanks for the memories gamesville.

Monday, 21 January 2008 - 7:38 PM EST

I've been a member for many, many years.  Haven't won anything in about 7-8 yrs. and then only $16 on regular Bingo game which has changed.  I have even stockpiled my GV rewards to over million points and still not won.  I agree that site should have more winners with maybe smaller amounts to keep us long-timers keeping the faith...still I am hopeful and keep trying to win.

hi there,  it's truly an interesting read, however sometimes with all the advertising on this page gets the better of me and slows down the playing, it's worth knowing of other sites where we can play. Can you send a link thanx muchly.

Wednesday, 23 January 2008 - 10:09 PM EST

I still think it's a scam , why is it that the ones who they claim win are mostly people who do not have info in their profiles , thats kind of fishy , their profiles usually say in the info their answers are all "I plea the fith" Now why is that?????

Thursday, 24 January 2008 - 12:09 AM EST

I think there should be more money prize games (and not the $25 games either, Im talking progressive jackpots) so more people will win.  When you only see two or three winners a year for the big games like Three Eyed  Bingo and Magic 21, then you know why people would say no one wins here, because you stand a better chance of winning with a lottery ticket.  Those like me just come here to play when Im looking to be entertained, because I do not ever expect to come close to winning a game.  Unless you make more cash games.... like it used to be when Gamesville first came out.

So whoever is running it is running it under lycos and gamesville name

Friday, 25 January 2008 - 11:15 AM EST

For those of you, like "anonymous", who are curious about the history of Gamesville and its relationship with Lycos--Gamesville.com was launched in 1996, and then purchased by the Lycos Network in 1999. Lycos itself was purchased in 2004 by the largest Internet company in South Korea, Daum Communications. Daum owns the Lycos Network; Gamesville (among other sites, like Tripod and Angelfire) is part of the Lycos Network. 

If you're interested in corporate information about Lycos, please visit Lycos' corporate site.

chris if we have a problem with gamesville or tripod how can we contact u to get it taken care of

Friday, 25 January 2008 - 7:48 PM EST

I have been playing gamesville for some time now. I have never won and like many I have wondered if people really win. I can honestly say one day I hope I win a hand or two. 

I can say I miss monoply as a free game that you would play with others against on here. Instead now you have to download it to play the computer. Not as much fun if you ask me.

well off to play. Have a good day all

To contact customer service for Gamesville or Tripod (or anywhere on Lycos) go to https://help.lycos.com/newticket.php and enter your comment or question. Be sure to select a "category" on the ticket form so the customer service representative knows which site you're inquiring about.

I won the weekly drawing the last of April.  How long does it take to get the check.  It's been over 60 days now.  Please send me a note.  Thank you.
