InaPickle getting out of a pickle!

Pickle, do you need to have £20 to withdraw from BB, or did I misread that? Is it true that you can't play with your free fivers until you withdraw £20 after each win? If so, do you have to pay in the difference to withdraw the £20??

Sorry for all the questions, but I've read a mixed bag of comments on BB.

You've read it right. Ish. You need to have a minimum of £20 to withdraw so say you win £15, you need to 'top up' to £20 to withdraw but it's probably adviseably to keep £20 (or the best part thereof) to one side in case you win a small amount of money (£2/£3.50 etc.) to withdraw. Say you won £2, you would add £18 to the total, then withdraw the whole £20. If you win more than £20, then good times! Withdraw and be happy!

Say you don't withdraw your winnings, you automatically start playing with the money your won, then transfer to the bonus after that (apparently, but I've never let it get that far!). So just make sure that you withdraw any winnings at the end of the day. However, say you win during the day but haven't used all your tickets, wait until the end of the day in case you are lucky enough to win a second time as you can only make 1 withdrawal in 24 hours. If you didn't I understand that you would have to start playing your winnings before you would transfer to using the next day's bonus.

When you first sign up you have to make a deposit (£5 min.), which they match, then give you your £5 bonus for that day as well. So say you deposit £5, you would have to work your way through £15. You have to use that all up to get the £5 bonus the next day, and use it up every day to get the nest day's bonus for the whole 30 days. It won't rolll over otherwise. Naturally, you could potentially loose a minimum of £5 joining BB (depending on your initial stake) and have £20 you don't need while it is bobbing back and forth from your account for a few days, but I've made far and away above my initial deposit. If you can afford to loose £5 and won't end up a gambling wreck (which I doubt you will, anyway!), then go for it!

Hope that helps.

That's brilliant Pickle - thanks for a very cogent and detailed answer I will pay another £20 onto my prepaid card to use for topping up as and when required. Do topups to the account get added on pretty much instantly?

Yes, really quickly, but if you add some in to top it up to take it out, it takes a few days to come back into your account, so don't do it if you are down to your last £20 and need the cash to eat! Put £25 to one side (£5 deposit and returnable £20) and you'll be fine.

(And I don't know how last night's reply was comprehensible as it was fuelled by a few glasses of vino! )

Nothing to embarrassed about - sure I'll be on the vino collapso by the time I get to Scotland tomorrow evening

Considering leaving work early today - it's deserted....

I just left the house and drove to near where work and :eek: is the only possible reaction: it's practically gridlocked, major roads ungritted, thousands of people headed to the shoppng centre where I am going, but all cos they have been disorganised idiots not getting their shopping in earlier and moi, Little Miss Organised (this year), is being forced to go there to work! :eek: :eek: I don't want to go! I'm not starting til 3 but I'm going to leave at 1 cos I seriously think it might take me that long to find a parking spot. Unbelieveable!

Hope you can leave work easier than me: I've been told I could be in a traffice jam for up to 2 hours on the way home. :rolleyes:

I just walked out of the door (the retinal scanner was broken) :rotfl: Even managed to catch the GF at Victoria for a kiss before she headed out to the airport - romantic skiving, a new adventure...

*Edit: a further BB question (sorry!) Do you need to click 'claim' when your numbers are called, or is it possible to set up auto claim?

Lemon_Tree

it automatically claims for you any way on BB. you can just pre purchase your tickets log off and come back later in the day to see how you've done.

InaPickle

What Lemon said, Ed. (:hello: lemon!)

And did anyone ever tell you that you are a soppy git?! :rolleyes:

edinburgher

I would just like to point out that I am not a soppy git, but a cold-hearted killing machine... who likes kittens.

Without meaning to make anyone vomit into their cornflakes, my GF really deserves the love. She's selfless, caring, imaginative, thoughtful and doesn't conform to most of the stereotypes you ladies have levelled at you by the popular media. And she's hot. :rotfl:

ruby_eskimo

Aww if only all men were like you Ed! (I have to say my BF is a very soppy git sometimes, but he adores me because of my brilliance so I can't complain! )
