Won £45.00 on BB will have to wait another 111 minutes before I can withdraw (as won £60.00 the other day),but it has to be over £50 now I think,can I wait till tomorow for the free £5.00 and withdraw ?

:T:T:T

I won a tenner earlier and they let me withdraw, although from what i've just read it looks like i am unlikely to get it?
its okay to play their £5 bonus as long as you dont win!?
If i find the £10 back in my account tomorrow, i will close the account.

Re: Bingo Britain - They now closed my account but a having lost my 'all or nothing' blackjack mission I had nothing to withdraw anyway. I notice that having suspended my account they are still sending me promotional emails.

Some users with cash balances may want to look at this:

http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gh-contact_us/complaints/how_do_i_complain_about_alle-1/how_do_i_complain_about_allege.aspx

I will be registering with BB again using my girlfriend's details but will be committing just £5. My advice to any new joiners would be to do the £5, and put any bingo winnings less than £50 into blackjack rather than adding funds in order to withdraw them. I had my suspicions that this was a tinpot operation but added funds anyway.

Learn from my mistake.

They are accusing people here of commiting fraud
but from what I can see, THEY are the ones commiting fraud

You win some you loose some !

I myself did not start this thread with any promises of cash from this site.Its like going to an auction BUYER BEWARE......

When people are on a winner nothing is ever said,as soon as you loose,its all bad ! You subscribe to these sites at you own risk,do your research.You can not blame people for protecting their businesses,these promotions are for one purpose-to get you signed to the site and spend your cash,if for any reason the odds in this equation change,they are bound to tighten the rules.If you want a near guaranteed return,then do matched betting,but again be careful,as one wrong bet and you can be liable for big money.

Enjoy it,but do not expect to make a living out of bingo bonuses-if anyone does,hats off to you ! :eek::eek::eek:

Well, I started the new year +£35 (from bingobritain before they changed the rules). Today I took the plunge and ordered some bits to sell on ebay! I've bought 6 items and having looked at loads of things and then realised that I wouldn't make any profit selling them on ebay I'm confident that I have done my research and there is a profit in the items that I have bought. I've spent £63.50 in total and i'm pretty certain that I will make the same amount in profit. As sure as I am that I've done my homework...I still have butterflies in my tummy worrying that I won't get my money back let alone make anything! Hopefully it will go well and I'll feel a bit more confident next time.

I need to wait for them to be delivered so I've downloaded tutbo lister and will get the listings ready so that I'm ready to go when they arrive.

Am I correct in thinking that 8-10pm on a Sunday is the best time for an auction to end? I'm still not sure whether to go for a buy it now or auction...decisions, decisions...:o

It really does depend what you're selling.
We sell stuff that is for 7-11 year olds (as our "day job" ) and it's totally dead on a Sunday night.
Saturday is our best salesday.
General wisdom says that Sunday is best though.

As for format- I'd go against the grain personally. If you list in a category with a load of auctions then buy it now, and vice versa.

It is the $64000 dollar question.As a rule Sunday night is the best time,but if your items are rare,I find listing them at daft times means people will put higher prices in auction sniping programmes.I sell quite often in the USA and you do have to factor the time difference in sometimes.Again on a different note,I have been listing all my items at 99p start recently to avoid fees,and I've done very well-the low price start in collectables attracts more watchers.

Thanks for your reply! I've got two items that are for kids (so will try to go for a saturday for those) and the other things are techie stuff so will aim for Snday evening for those. Good tip on the auction/buy it now thing! One of the items only has one listing of the same item and it's not in the section that I would put mine in - think I'll go for a buy it now on that one if there isn't loads of competition by the time mine turns up.

Does anyone know if you get the relisting rebate on buy it now items like you do on auctions?

Edited to add:-

Thanks for your reply too bing0...and for starting this thread! It's really motivating being 'part of something' and everyone being so helpful and sharing their knowledge/experience.

Hey, I was worried about this too so I chickened out and opted for Amazon vouchers when I reached 20000 points, just to test it. I got my e-voucher within a few days (quite surprising as it was over Christmas that I put the request in)
