Warning: play2win bingo

thepearce

Just a warning for others in case they are tempted by the free games etc. into making a deposit.

Here are the withdrawal rules : http://www.play2winbingo.com/rules/withdrawal_rules.php

Any initial bonus (£10) they give you is removed, along with any cash you may have won, when you make your first deposit!
(You need to make a deposit to see a link to the withdrawal rules, or to withdraw).

The minimum withdrawal is £50 and you must deposit at least £20.

There is a wagering requirement of : 4x (deposit + bonus) [on bingo] before you can withdraw.

So a £20 deposit (£40 bonus) requires you to play £240 of bingo.

As the site awards a hefty bonus on your first 3 deposits your wagering requirement rises quickly too should you make further deposits.

Whilst all bingos are a businesses, and as businesses aim to part you with your money......this one seems absolutely designed to make it practically impossible to withdraw. Other sites (such as foxy bingo) have a much fairer bonus / withdrawal policy.

Tell teacher on them.

Yeah - really helpful BFG...thanks for that.

There are actually plenty of other more honest bingo sites out there and this is not one of them. Of course they are all businesses, with promos but the point is this one is IMHO a con.

You'll note I wasn't up in arms asking who to write to to sue etc, etc. merely pointing them out for the benefit of others who may search for them..... and importantly providing the link to withdrawal info. Something I looked for and was unable to find PRIOR to making a deposit.

Min withdrawal is £50 (after a £20 deposit). WR of 4x deposit + bonus on bingo prior to withdrawal and they give you bonus money on many deposits.

heavens sake, its a bingo site, it is meant to keep your money. No matter what bingo site you go on, you check your deposits against your withdrawals you will see you never get out more than you put in, unless one of the very lucky few whom probably spend thousands before having a 'big win'. Its rules are no different to that of 99% of all the other bingo sites out there. If you dont want to lose money, honestly dont play the game, its gambling after all.

Not actually specifically directed at you OP, but anyone whom plays bingo and gets all upset when they lose a load of money. I play on occasion, but to expect to get money back, when you are gambling, instead of just hoping...is silly and to expect bingo sites to not be designed to keep your money is the same.

Explaination of the bingo withdrawal terms...say you deposit £20 and your bingo bonus is £10...then:

(20x4)+(10x4)= £120. You need to wager £120 worth of buying bingo tickets on a £20 deposit and £10 bingo bonus to be eligible to withdraw your money. Actually pretty much the norm. Bet365 is like that too. I presume they remove the bonus when you first deposit, as the bonus is meant to be to try out the site, if you have deposited you have clearly decided you want to give it a go.

I've managed to take a few hundred quid of Foxy Bingo over the past few months at a cost of precisely no pounds and no pence. They used to do a Trivia chat game between 11am and 1pm and then 7pm and 9pm. A question would pop up on the screen at the end of each game and the first person to answer it correctly won a pounds worth of credit. Cards cost 5p or 10p so if you bought just one card per game it would cost about a quid per hour (assuming 10-12 games). Win the chat game three or four times an hour and you could easily boost your account balance. This was quite easy to achieve as some of the other players were clearly lacking a decent education. Every so often when I'd built up a decent balance I'd play seriously, buying more cards to try to win some cash. The best single win I ever had was £150 but I banked around £30 (the minimum withdrawal) about once a week on average. Unfortunately they've now stopped doing the trivia game so my income source has now dried up, but at least I've now got my evenings back!

On the subject of withdrawal limits Foxy Bingo have been doing a guaranteed prize scratch card this week. Yesterday I won '£1 in cash'. But as the minimum withdrawal is £30 I've can't possibly collect it. All I can do is 're-invest' it in the hope of getting a £30 win.

Thanks for that - I've missed out thus far. I've taken £10 from littlewoods today courtesy of their free daily scratch.

If you have a minxy bingo account they are giving £1 bonus each day you spend £1 this month. (easy to "spend" £1 on roulette). Of course this is bonus and will need to be played.

I've also updated my initial post to make it clearer.
