# 🎲 Steem-Bingo Introduces Major Updates: More Tickets, Bigger Rewards, and Enhanced Player Benefits
Steem-Bingo continues to evolve, and a recent update has introduced several exciting changes that both new and existing players should know about. The maximum number of tickets that a participant can purchase in a single round has been increased, and the upvote-back reward system has been expanded to provide even greater flexibility.
For regular players, these changes mean more chances to win, larger potential rewards, and continued protection through the popular upvote-back mechanism.
🎟️ Maximum Tickets Increased
Previously, a player could purchase a maximum of 15 tickets in a single round.
With the latest update, that limit has now been increased to 18 tickets per round.
This gives active players additional opportunities to improve their odds while helping rounds fill faster and generate larger prize pools.
Since each ticket costs exactly 1 STEEM, the maximum participation per round has increased from 15 STEEM to 18 STEEM.
💰 Updated Upvote-Back System
One of the features that has made Steem-Bingo unique is the upvote-back reward awarded to players who do not win a prize.
Under the previous system, players received a fixed 120% ROI, regardless of how many tickets they purchased. A player buying 1 ticket received the same percentage return as a player buying the maximum 15 tickets.
The new system introduces a more progressive reward structure.
Players still receive an upvote value greater than the amount they spent on tickets, but larger ticket purchases now receive slightly better returns. The guaranteed ROI starts at 110% and gradually increases up to 111.11% for players purchasing the maximum 18 tickets.
This means every participant continues to receive an upvote worth more than their ticket cost while rewarding those who choose to support the game with additional tickets.
