Bingo! Review

Bingo! (formerly called "Hitea",  "HiPoker",  "OhPoker" and "Thirteen Poker") is an alternative to PokerMaster where you can play with Chinese fishes in 2019. Bingo is very similar to PokerMaster, but the poker room does not use the scheme of independent clubs, they charge a rake only to winning players, and the access is exclusive to Chinese players and trusted affiliates. 

Bingo has great action up to NL800 and eventually at NL1500; at each table, players can find wealthy amateurs. As usual, the currency at the tables is CNY (Chinese Renminbi).

On the Bingo lobby, players will find 6-max PLO and 8-max NLHE tables and almost all take part in the bad beat jackpot promotion.

Traffic overview

Bingo! has maintained as a "small" Chinese poker application, not in terms of having low traffic but not becoming that popular as PokerMaster; therefore only a few clubs are available, collusion, bots, and other problems are not that evident, and the action is guaranteed for players of medium and high-stakes.

As usual, the peak of time corresponds to the Chinese evenings:

NLHE:

• 1/2/2: 14 tables
• 2/4/4: 14 tables
• 5/10/10: 12 tables
• 10/20/20: 4 tables
• 20/40/40: 3 table

*The value in brackets equals the ante. All tables have straddle.

PLO: 2/4: 6 tables

All NLHE tables are played in 8-max format; 6-max is the format played at the PLO tables.
The NLHE tables participate in the bad beat jackpot promotion which gives prizes for losing with solid hands.

Software and trackers support

HiTea is developed for mobile devices, and the application runs on iOS and Android devices. Our players will receive detailed instructions to play at HiTea directly from a desktop PC.

The HiTea application is available in English, and it's very similar to other Chinese mobile poker rooms like PokerMaster. All the tables are visible from the lobby with all the necessary information like stakes, players, time (all the tables at HiTea are created for a specific time).

At the top of the lobby, a filter is available to narrow the selection of tables. 

Players can setup HUD on HiTea using a hand converter software.

Deposit and withdrawal methods

The games at HiTea are played in CNY. 6,7CNY = 1USD approximately. 

The Worldpokerdeals agency processes deposits and withdrawals using e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, and BTC. The deposits are processed during business hours, and withdrawals are usually sent in 24 hours (big cashouts >$5,000 may take up to 72 hours).

A small commission is applied to every withdrawal. Please confirm the current fee with our support team.

Benefits

HiTea is one of the few Chinese poker rooms that have survived the last wave of blocked accounts and complaints about collusion and bots. It's currently a great site to play at mid and high-stakes with Chinese fishes.
