    I wondered about being seen as a blagger because the 30 days is so long, but eventually I just decided to go for it, and withdraw every time I won - it *might* have had an effect tho, because I haven't won for over a week, and I'm about to run out.

    As for chatting on there - I've tried, but conversations are only with the CMs (what *does* taht stand for???) and they fizzle after a few lines.

  • I can't even get into the chat on BB! I was a bit worried about just withdrawing anything I win and not depositing again but I will have to deposit at least once more because I shall miss a day or two thanks to being elsewhere. It'll only be £1 or so though, just enough to get the next days bonus!

    I gave up on chatting, I couldn't keep up with anything more than 2tg! I did see a couple of MSErs while there.... one mod asked me for two numbers that I had to shout house when the number was called... not sure what that was all about:confused:

    you give them 2 numbers say 7 and 13...and if anyone calls line,2 lines or full house on either of those 2 numbers you type houseeee 7 or houseee 13 depending which one it is ..and then you get a £1 bingo bonus in your account.
