    I am really sorry to anyone having problems with bingo withdrawals. I feel responsible in part for encouraging people to have a go, but honestly, I have not had any problems, and could not envisage that anyone else would either.

    I'm really sorry.

    NOT AT ALL!!
    I have won over £100 because of your generosity in sharing your good fortune. We are all adults and haven't done anything we didn't want to. ;)

    It is just such a shame that something that was working so well has closed its lovely loophole just as people were starting to get the benefit from it.

    I do always think, though, that every scratchcard withdrawal, or casino withdrawal could be my last - at any point they are going to stop us doing these things, when they realise we are taking out more than we are putting in.

    Talking of scratchcards, the £10 from the virgin scratch that I withdrew yesterday has hit my account already, so moved into the holiday pot......:D

    Ah well, if all loopholes are closed tomorrow, I suppose we've had a bit out of the collectively over the years, so we can't grumble! Just such a shame that KJP aren't playing nicely now :o

    Seriously hypno - don't worry on my account. :A Luckily I followed your BB tip at the same time - so think I have got my money back thro that! I lost out last year on an ipoints thing I did - but overall most of what I tried worked!

    I've just noticed an interesting thing about my email from kingjackpot - they have CC'ed it to lots of people internally: cindy@kingjackpot.co.uk, brian@templemead.co.uk, and many more. I am sure they have come up with this new 'requirement' in a panic because of all the DFWs that cottoned on to the loophole, and are making up policy as they go!

    Anyway, I'm not too disappointed as I have done well on Amazon this week and also won £100 from Thomson local directories! They have a deal where if you write reviews on their site, you are entered into a weekly draw to win £100. Get writing everyone! http://www.thomsonlocal.com/

    Well done, thanks for the link.

    I've been accepted for delivering yellow pages around my local streets, have to deliver 600 for £110.00, :rolleyes:. Have recruited an army of little helpers though :p, who will all be wanting their cut :rolleyes:.

    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    Yes. I keep playing a bit so that I hopefully don't draw attention to myself.
