Is there money to be made at Bingo?

or is it beginners luck?

I signed up for free scratch cards, withdrew my £5 and instead of saving up scratchcard money have been playing the 1p 2p and free bingo, I have won £7 £6 of it I withdrew - gone straight on my credit card so I'm not tempted, so is there money to be made at bingo or was that my one win?

you could lose alot more than you could make playing bingo think the only way to make any money from is to join via a cashback site

Hardly up, you have to play these bonus off. Also Bingo is a game of chance so therefore not weighted in your favour so therefore the answer is No

I think you are being sucked in. The software used lets you win at first, so you get hooked and continue to play.

Don't forget, any money you win comes from people who lost. It won't be long before your losses are paying for new players wins.

I've played a few sites risk-free effectively, by signing up through quidco when the cashback is more or the same as what I need to deposit. Most times I haven't won anything, but I did win £56 from Sun Bingo and a few pounds on Party Bingo I think a while ago.

I've had better luck with the casino sites, again making sure I go through quidco so cashback covers my deposit. I had a spate of wins one weekend and made about £70 I think.

The only way to do these deals though is if you stop as soon as you have bet through the minimum amount and don't put any more money in after the initial deposit. If you think you're going to be tempted to gamble more then I wouldn't start.

I've also found that the gambling sites are a bit patchy tracking on quidco, so I have a document where I post in details of the sites that I've signed up to and paste in screenshots of the quidco deal and the deposit confirmation etc.
