Really chuffed with myself!!

Hi All,
Hope this doesn't sound like boasting but I'm so chuffed I just wanted to share it with someone.
Was a bit bored yesterday so signed up for Blackpool Club Casino as it was giving a free £10 no deposit play. I really only did it for a bit of fun to pass some time. I doubled the £10 quite easily and went to look at the withdrawals T & C's. Totally misread it and thought the minimum withdrawal was £500, so carried on playing and got up to £70. I don't even know why I did it but went back and looked at withdrawals again and realised my mistake. Asked the online help if I could withdraw and they said no, needed to deposit first but they wouldn't tell me how much so logged on to MSE Gambling thread and some kind person said if I deposited £20 I should be able to withdraw the winnings. £90 is winging it's way back to my account as I type!! This will pay of one of my overdrafts.
Happy days!! :j

    Hi Will,
    Thanks for your comments, I don't ever use my own money, only freebies, but I suppose having to deposit to withdraw could be considered a risk, fortunately I've been lucky so far!!
    Have looked at matched betting many times, read the threads more than once but still not sure. Funnily enough I was reading one of the threads earlier and quite a few people say the same thing, that once the penny finally drops it's pretty easy.
