    got a couple of cheques to pay in today from a casino website i signed upto via quidco.

    i deposited £20 on casinorip and you have to play 10 games to get £25 cashback. i played ten games of roulette (bet £2 on red and spin the wheel 10 times) i ended up with £16 out of my original £20 (you might be more lucky then me!). This seemed like the best strategy to try and minimise my losses. I cashed out the £16 then they emailed me a £5 bonus. I played this and ended up winning £11 which i cashed out.

    Altogether i am £32 up (-20+16+11+25). Cashback has tracked and says it will pay out in one month.

    Just checked quidco and you now have to deposit £35 but it doesn't tell you how much to bet, only that you have to play 10 games. bet 10 times on black or red(i would stick with one colour for all the games - not sure if it makes a difference really though) with the smallest amount it will allow and cash the rest of the money out.

    They send you a cheque when you cash out but it comes within a few days.
  • Another £100 off for me please - managed to sell a pair of shoes to a friend! :j

    That leaves me with £400 to find from somewhere :confused:

    Hi I have only just found this thread and wondered if it was too late to join??? Obviously i wouldn't have the full 100 days but as i've only missed out on 8 full days i wouldn't be far off it?? Pretty please????

    If it's ok i would like to put down to clear £250.00 i owe my boyfriend and the £56.75 that i owe my mum making a total of £306.75 now i know its not debts i should be focusing on i really should go for the evil MNBA card but i'd rather pay the boyfriend and mum back first
