Question –
I may be over-thinking this (wouldn’t be the first time), but does the criteria for Poppit Bingo mean that tickets earned from Prize Balloons, which are listed at the end of the game in the box saying “Prize Balloon Results”, WON’T count toward the badge?
If so, then it won’t pay to use the extra prizes power-up for this badge, but to concentrate on getting daubs and bingos, meaning I’ll only use the pin missle and golden balloon power-ups.
What do you guys think?
Pogo’s unclear wording strikes again!
Kathy says
I going to collect my tickets and use the golden balloons power ups to get the badge at see at the end of a game which ones collected… i think they all will count..any ideas
RyzandShyn says
I guess I’ll sit with paper and pen and keep track of which ticket totals count toward the badge.
I don’t think the ones we automatically collect will count since it says “daubs and bingos”, but I do wonder about the ones that come from prize balloons.
But, like I said, I’m probably over-thinking this or have something confused….lol.
EverOdd says
I would think that tickets from prize balloons would count as they are tickets won by “daubs.” But this could just be wishful thinking on my part.
SAL says
Totally agree. Tickets in balloons would only count if released by daub and extra tickets for bingos. Only the daily freebies wouldn’t count.

Hi RyzandShyn,
I love the game and always click on the star with ? mark and golden balloons. I think it will help make it go faster for the badge, but I know both will help you rank up and out faster 🙂 I almost never use the pin missle unless I am at the very end of the game.
Good luck to all and these are very do-able.

Hi Rhona,
I always use the pin missle as it blows up one number on each card and it has helped me get 1st, 2nd, 3rd place standings (sometimes even all 3 in a game!) and many more bingos. I also always use the 3 golden balloons. The pin missle helps pop those too,
mookermom11 says
Well that makes sense! Silly Me 🙂
I’m so excited for Wednesday.
RyzandShyn says
Oh no, don’t “Silly Me” yourself. Part of the fun of BH is reading how others play and what strategies work for them. There have been plenty over the years that I’ve declared “brillant” and have incorporated into my play, and others that did nothing for me, so I continued to play it “my way” instead.
I’m excited too, epecially to see how this PB badge goes or doesn’t go…lol.
Theresa D Schroeder says
I think the prize balloon results count as “daubs” so they should count. I will try using the golden balloon as often as it comes up and the reward delivery power up. It adds more balloons with rewards so if you pop one with tickets in it, those should count. But, we’ll see.
Sonja says
All three games are faves.
MS — on hard it’s a toss up if there’s 2 sets of stars or only one. Love the game, so will enjoy it regardless.
PP – I’ll be using the first set of costumes to make somewhat quick work of it. Not far enough along in the 2nd set. Tiki costume washes fast and has the coloring balloon power ups. I haven’t found a way to toggle between the costumes besides refreshing. Any hints on that?
PB — what’s to say? This game has sure become a favorite of the badge master. I like the game, but that’s a lot of tickets. Anyone know the max tickets you can stash? I have almost 100,000 so based on on spacing, I’m guessing the max is 99,999.
And it’s snowing on the Olympic Peninsula! So pretty, now stop and go away!.. 🙂
Dan says
If you scroll down past he costumes in each collection, there is a button that says Browse Collections that will bring you back to the Collection selection screen.
Sonja says
Thanks! Just kept looking at the top right.
cheryl says
At the bottom of the costume page you can choose the Browse Collections to go to each collection
fadedwildrose says
PB ticket spacing is inadequate so cannot judge how many tickets are allowed. I have an account which is at least in the hundreds of thousand tickets. I can see only the righthand 5 numbers and that the hundred thousand number is a crooked number (not a 1) and absolutely no idea if there are further left number(s).
stretchdogg says
I think, if you look very carefully, you can have over 99.999 tickets. I sure hope so, because I think I have 100,897. I can barely see the top of a one, behind the blue ticket. I’ve been collecting them all along, and use them freely on all power ups…. even the ones that don’t seem so valuable. What else am I going to do with 100K tickets?
RyzandShyn says
I have 137,048 – I don’t think there is a limit.
cookie4653 says
Is there anything else you can do with the blue tickets besides buy bingo cards? Also have over 50,000. Would be nice if they could be used for anything else? Thanks!
MomsBassetHound says
There’s no limit on anything in Poppit Bingo.
I have over 9 million in cactus cash, over 1 million tickets, and usually keep around 500 power ups in stock.
This will be my favorite challenge for the Winter Quest, can’t wait until Wednesday!
Good Luck All!

Kathy says
for the Mahjong Sahari HD Star Tiles can be matched to earn power-ups for How to Play section. and there are 4 star tiles take about 4 or 5 games to get the badge.
Poppitt Party play on easy to try to pop blue balloons
Poppitt Bingo collect your tickets
these badges should not be too difficult after last week
rebelofsouth says
for pop bingo i use pin missile and golden balloons. Tried a experiment last time i was in it went to room 1 and used them, took 3 games to get over the requirements. Plus i do have over 60,200 power ups which helps. Good luck everyone on the badges.None of the 3 badges are that hard really.
ValoraBlue says
Absolutely love the Limited Edition badge with the castle on it that comes at the end of this Challenge Quest thing! But there simply is not enough time for me to complete them with taking care of my sweetheart… I’m not even half way through that Slingo Blast badge. Thus I’ll not be trying to complete the “Winter Journey Challenge”. Will be awesome though to see these in other folks collections! 🙂
I joined Pogo for fun as spare time permits when my hubby naps and such, and am content with what I can do. I’m able to keep-up and complete the weekly badges, the “Game of the Month” ones, and have earned a ton of rank type badges (easy, For Now, only ’cause I’m new, lol!), and working as I can on the albums I was generously gifted. So, many thanks again for all who post their tips, secrets, and progress… I very much enjoy reading and sharing in your excitement and Pogo wisdom!
JayArvee says
You will be able to purchase the LE Badge around St Patrick’s Day. 🧚♀️
ValoraBlue says
Ohhh, okay, didn’t realize that (or, did I read it here someplace, then forgot?!). Will see if we can afford to have me purchase some Gems next month… thank you. 🙂
afriend says
Hope if whoever’s reading this and doesn’t have a good
build of up of pbingo cactus cash they go everyday and
get their freebies for it!
IMO I think too the 1st Pparty will be faster for the blue
balloons. Lots of the costumes have to color changers.
Mighty sick of those glass domes artwork on the badges
though. Enough already.
cookie4653 says
I am at level 33 and the only daily reward I get is tickets. Nothing else. Got plenty of those, but low on everything else. Hope level 34 will not be just tickets. Thanks!
MomsBassetHound says
The only thing you get for free are tickets, nothing else, doesn’t matter what rank you are.
But when you rank up to 34 you will get some cactus cash.
You get cactus cash on the even ranks, and 1 power up for the odd ranks.

Collecting 1050 tickets on Poppit Bingo won’t be that easy. You will have to collect 150 tickets a day which will probably use up a lot of power ups and if you have a lot they will be eaten really fast.. Maybe I will pay the 40 gems on Lottso. Sounds like a much easier game for me to play. With having finished 11,000 on Slingo Blast and now doing 15,500 on Jet Set Solitaire I don’t think I want to push that much on PB as I don’t want to lose the power ups that I have.
DeeVermont says
I’m looking forward to PB as it’s one of my favorite games. I’m still not used to the new MS but I guess I will get used to it, wish they used the animals from the original MS.
Talking about PB, for some reason I have problems playing it on Internet Explorer but no problems playing it on Chrome. The game goes gray on IE and I am not able to “collect” when it’s over, I wonder if anyone else has that problem?
Kirsten says
Yes, I too was having issues, as many others, using IE for PB. Have switched to Chrome and it runs so much smoother and no problems loading or screen going gray.
patray says
I have the same problem Dee on both IE and Firefox, but thanks to Suz, I downloaded Chrome and can no play PB no problem. With the other 2 browsers, after the game finished and did the cactus for added bingos “hopefully” my game froze and only way I could play another game was to exit and reenter game wihich was a major pain. For some reason Chrome does just fine.
Jeff says
Yes…. Happens to me with most HTML games….now when playing HTML I just automatically go to Firefox.
MomsBassetHound says
It started after the maintenance last week, and only affects Internet Explorer. There’s also another problem that members of complaining about, but that’s totally unrelated to what happened last week. Pogo is aware of the problem that occurred last week and it’s being looked into.
Pogo is suggesting that those affected by the problem switch to Chrome. But Edge & Firefox will also work as long as you are only experiencing the problem that started with the maintenance last week.
Suz
DeeVermont says
Thanks everyone for your comments, I thought it was my computer but relieved to find out it’s not. Chrome works really great for PB.
nessa says
I sure need glasses.
It took me quite a few minutes to notice that the “thing” in the M. Safari badge is not a piece of broccoli but a turtle! lol 😀 😀
Badges this week are Ok,
Is Poppit bingo really taking that long? I love the game but hardly play it anymore unless is for a badge and I only use the golden balloon power-up. I think I did a badge “for tickets” not long ago and it didn’t take that long. Guess I go play a few games to see how many tickets I win. But same really, I mean even if I not play the game anymore I stilll enjoy it and don’t care if it takes a few games or a lot.
@ afriend:
You better ignore the “art” (???) of the new Wednesday badges or start liking it because llama said is a yearly thing (and maybe a forever thing). They don’t look too bad as a whole in the album but I still don’t like them and I’m still not convinced. As I said before…….boring!
Melanie says
Poppit Bingo Tickets Takes Way Too Long It Takes A Long Time To 😢😢
Lizz says
My only suggestion is Don’t Call Bingo unless it is one of the first 3. You get more by not calling them. It saves on power ups andyou get more bingos in the long run by Not calling bingos.
Sweetness6645 says
For Poppit Bingo play on the highest level you can — I am at 15 and sometimes get over 100 tickets per game.
Good luck.
