    Redeemed lastweek and got my redeem rejected I had been playing Bingo all week apart from one day but now you have to play over 100 points a day?

    Oh do you ? Is that the reason you got for it being rejected?

    yup i was posting purely for redemtpion for about a month but have now been told this is not allowed and i can only play the points i have, not redeem them. Such a shame as I have 10000 points in ym account but heyho I got around £20 of amazon vouchers out of them- was ncie while it lasted!
  • Hiya hope this isn't a stupid question but what is bingoport?
    Nothing to report:p
  • I have 2166 points. Does this mean I can't redeem them for Amazon vouchers?

    _ Rolley - Bingoport is a website with loads of links to other bingo sites, you are given some points to start to with and can play bingo and collect points ( you can also post on forums for points) It used to be for Amazon vouchers but it seems that doesn't work any more?
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    You can get Amazon vouchers still.
    Basically you can play bingo for free and win points - you get 1000points to start with, can post in the forum ten times a day for 100 points and you can spin the whell 4 times a day for aditional points (this is when you have under 200 left).

    You can't just post and post and redeem - otherise everyonewould do it and no-one would bother with the bingo - and it is a bingo site after all.

    You can redeem your points for lots of things - 8000 points is a £5 amazon voucher, 5000 is a £5 or £10 in bingo cash to play at different sites tec.

    The rules have been tightened up to stop people posting and posting etc but I have got 60 in amazon vouchers since the beginning of the year so yes - you canmake money from it. And if you don't - a bit of harmless fun!

    I can see why they limited posts though - the forums are full of rubbish one line sentences which were obviously just peoples way of aquiring points - this was detrimental to the whole point of a forum.

    I have never got enough points to claim anything on bingoport!

    100% correct if you are going to play, then make it a worthwhile
    exercise, my o/h has become quite good at this, she asked me to post

    That article is about sites that give you bonuses when you sign up. Bingoport is a portal that offers free bingo for points, so it's completely different.

    I don't understand it when people say they never have enough points to redeem. You get 1000 points a day just for posting, so all you have to do is make your ten posts, play a few games (like, four, not forty) and then do the same the next day. In about 10 days you'll have enough to redeem your voucher and they won't deny you it because you'll be a playing player, rather than a grab-and-redeemer. Anything you win in points while playing is a bonus.

    You can't really blame them for restructing the prizes for goodness' sake, it's a free site!

    Actually i used to do this, make my ten posts a day and play through between 100 and 200 points but my last redeem was rejected on the basis that i was abusing the site. I was told that playing under 200 points per day is not classed as playing your points and whilst they don't mind you redeeming using a few points from posting the majority have to come from winnings.

    Yeah, I saw that had happened to some people. My redeems are still going through adn the vast majority of points are from posting. It's just that I do play every time I go on there so they can't accuse me of being a point grabber!
