Display quality & technical issues

The quality of the display of the AccessNow TV App content may vary from device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as your location, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your Internet connection. Availability is subject to your Internet service and device capabilities. Higher internet speeds are recommended for households using multiple streams at a time. A minimum of 25 Mbps is recommended for optimal viewing. The range of the wireless signal may vary due to electromagnetic interference, home construction material, obstructions, and other environmental factors. You are responsible for any internet usage or cellular data usage charges you incur to access the Service. Viewing of programming on personal devices may be subject to any data usage charges regularly associated with the use of such personal devices. Interactive services and applications also may incur additional data usage charges.

  • Player has 60 seconds to call in and confirm their bingo.
  • Once the winning game card(s) is validated, the game is closed, and no more bingos will be accepted and the TV Bingo will resume to the next consecutive game or card.

After You Win

  • Each winner must supply the verification number and serial number of their winning card, and their name, address and phone number.
  • All winners will be paid by cheque. The cheque is made out to the individual verifying the bingo. Proper identification is required prior to payment.

  • In the event of multiple winners for the same prize, the cash value of the prize will be divided equally among the multiple winners. (For example, if there are two winners of a $500 game, each will receive $250). Minimum win is $50.
