Hiya
I've finally been brave enough to join a bingo site through quidsco so i'm already £20 up. However, I've won £40 using the money I had to spend to get money back. I want to withdraw it rather than play with it so i'll be £60 in profit. Does this automatically mean i'll lose the bonus money they gave me within the bingo site?
Many thanks

    I'm not sure whether you will use it, but if it's Bingos, why not wait for them to pay you and then withdraw the money? I wasn't lucky enough to win:o so well done you!

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    This one was chit chat bingo and i'm determined that I won't spend more than one I have to so will withdraw it when they've paid me. I can imagine it's easy to say 'oh i'll just spend another tenner!' Good luck if you join xx

    I joined Quidco 2 weeks ago and have made £120 although none paid out yet!

    have you set up the Cahoot bank account? theres another £20 and you only need to deposit £1

    also sign up for the DVD home rental free trials, just don't do as we did, my partners likes it so much we've signed up completely!

    Hiya Leni
    I've done the blockbusters and i'm up to £46.35 with £25 still not tracked. Will open the bank account now. Winning the £40 on the bingo was just a bonus - talk about pure luck! Don't you just love free money!

    Hiya Leni
    Just applied for the account but it's telling me they have to send something to me for me to sign. Did you do this and did you still get the £20. Many thanks.
