    I signed up with gala through Quidco as I saw that it meant I got £20. Now, a day later, £20 bonus has gonei nto my Gala account (tried to withdraw buit it woulnd't let me... lol). Is that the £20 promised on Quidco, or is it something else? (Quidco is showing the £20 as tracked). I will be somewhat miffed if it's the £20 on Quidco, as I wanted real money, not pretend!


    And also, can anyone tell me if I'll get into trouble if I sign up to all the bingo offers through quidco? There seemt o be lots all offering quite high rewards for signing up through them. As long as I do the minimum required of each one and don't get sucked in, it should make me quite a few quid. Is that right, or have I misunderstood?

    I don't know how many you can sign up to - if they are owned by the same company then it should only be one of them really but somebody might come and tell you which ones - I am a complete newbie and only started last week at this! I have one account with gala and one with littlewoods. I also have a take a break bingo account but didn't get cashback for signing up to that, I joined to get a daily scratchcard.

    With gala your £20 will be quidco money. Gala will give you £20 to play bingo with, but that's an extra, you will still get your quidco. I played bingo with mine, and won £30. You can't withdraw your winnings until you have spent the whole £20 bonus.

    Now that I have a gala account I have found myself playing some of the january promotions so I've put some cash in, and will withdraw it after the promotions end. Look at the promotions list - today you get 50p back if you buy a ticket - I only paid 2p for my ticket, will see if they give me 50p lol! people in the chatroom say they will though, it takes a day or so to get money back.

    Thursday there are some free bingo games, and on friday it's moneyback on some games - takes a couple of days to get your refund.

    I like playing bingo, I didn't I would lol! need to make sure I don't get hooked now :rotfl:

  • I don't know whether I'd trust myself with the bingo sites lol! My OH and I fight over rights to use the PC anyway, if I got hooked on bingo he'd go mad lol! It seems as though you all do really well on them though! Hmmmm.....might have to have a think on this and work out how to get him off the pc long enough to have a bash!

    I don't know about gala etc. but with take a break you can buy the tickets in advance and I assume you don't actually have to be logged in? I might be wrong though. You can get your tickets dabbed automatically and the computer makes the claim for you.

    Does anyone know - I have bought my £21.60 of no-lose tickets tonight with take a break. If I don't log in will my tickets still be entered into the game?

    I've won twice with gala, and the second time I was in the shower at the time, and they still gave me my winnings, but I was logged into the website at the time and had just wandered away.

    I log in for the take a break games but I don't sit at my PC for the 2 hours.

    If I went out, and wasn't logged into the website at all would I still have the same chance of winning?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure you don't have to be logged in, because trhe FAQs mention that even if your connection is lost, it will all happen automatically.

    yeah, I was doing that with the take-a-break no lose days. I used up all my money and then logged in to my account a few days later to see it had all magically reappeared! Hurrah.
