What happens when a player wins music bingo?
When a player calls bingo correctly, Rockstar Bingo automatically verifies the bingo, the scoreboard is updated and confetti appears across the screen for all players. When manually verifying Rockstar Bingo (tickbox in settings), the host has to manually check the called bingo. If the bingo is accepted, confetti will appear across all player screens.

What order are the cards displayed in the lobby page?
When hosting your Rockstar Bingo game, you have always been able to check the progress of players and how many songs they have daubed on their card. Active players in the lobby screen are now sorted by their correct song square count. The count includes both daubed correct squares and also correct squares that they have missed daubing. Basically the sort order is 'who should be winning'.

While any Spotify playlist with over 75 songs will work for your games (making sure of course that you manage any duplicates of songs in those playlists ...), we continue to curate play lists as the ideas trickle in.
