No more free daily scratch cards?

Hello Everyone,

I just went onto Butlins bingo to do my normal free daily scratch and it seems that they have finally caught on to the money that they are giving away. It Now says that you need to have waged cash on 5 occasions this week to qualify.

Has anyone else found that theirs has finished too? If not which sites are still doing it?

Thanks

    Virgin Bingo is still doing a free scratch card.

    And if you join via Quidco, you get £5 cashback for wagering £5...so its free free free! :)
  • The message I got on BB was ".... you must have wagered 5 cash in the past 7 days" I read that and thought it meant you had to wager £5. Not so sure after reading OP post. Would doing 5x 1p bingo sessions count as wagering cash on 5 occasions - if so, well worth continuing I think? Or was I right in thinking you must spend a certain amount with them now - i.e. spend £5 and receive 80p back - no thanks? Their message is badly worded isn't it.

    Regardless, I have made a deposit and requested a withdrawal (I was a couple of £'s away from the £10) in case they decide we can't have the scratchie money. I have "won" £40-£50 on the free scratchies this year, so can't really complain - was nice while it lasted though :o

  • I got the same message for the free scratch card on Littlewoods Bingo as well. I didn't understand what the '5' meant either in the message that came up and wondered if it meant £5. I had a look at the terms and conditions of the free scratch card and it does say you need to have wagered £5 in the last 7 days. Oh well, good while it lasted.
  • I got the same on the Littlewoods Bingo site. I finally got up to £10 yesterday but don't normally withdraw until £10.10 to keep account in credit. Just tried to withdraw and it won't let me :(
  • i got same message oh well good while it lasted:beer:

    I didn't get this message on Littlewoods but did get that I'd played my card for today which I haven't. Ah well :(

    Anyone know if we can wager the money that's in there and withdraw it if we get above £10 that way?

    I've just done that Lilian on BB and fortunately did get quite lucky on the slots - though it all registered as bonus money and wouldn't allow me to withdraw :( so figured aaaah stuff it, wagered £5 on 'deal or no deal' game, lucked out but then when I checked, my balance had moved from bonus to cash and let me withdraw - which I did - quickly!

    If it clears I will be a happy lady :D if not it was good while it lasted :o
