    Has anyone signed up to the sites that offer "free" bingo with no deposits via Bingoport? Really don't want to be giving out my email to so many sites if it means entering a world of pain & spam. Any advice?

    Like Mum2one says, there is very often a catch, that says you can't withdraw any winnings with bonus money until you have deposited ten times the amount (or similar). It's not worth it to sign up just for that.

    What you CAN do is. Sign up for a site and make a deposit (using money neutral money of course). You will then get a bonus for depositing - Better still, go via Quidco, as some of them, if you deposit £10 you will get £30 cash back.

    On Bingoport you can then cash out at 5,000 for £5 bingo credit (not 10,000 as for £5 Amazon voucher). Better offer you see. You can then play with this £5 and hopefully when you win, because you have deposited in the first place, you can withdraw with no problems.

    I won £1,000 twice, and £1,500 once, this year using this method, so I know it works. It's just a matter of chance whether you win or not.

    I hope this helps.

    I'm not sure Esmer. As they make payments on a Thursday, I would have thought it would have been then. If it was me, I'd just keep playing and not make a redeem until you've been playing for a whole week. You need to order your Amazon voucher by 10pm on a Wednesday for payment next day, if you redeem after Wednesday your payment will be the following Thurs.

    I found on the site that you can't have 10,000 points spot on for a redeem, you MUST have 10,001 or over.

    Thanks for that. Im half way there, so will be next week. If I keep going, but finding stuff onthe forums to comment on is difficult. I could actually talk on here all the time, its easy and very friendly. :)

    That's the difference - people talk on here because we want to, they talk on there because they have to - there's no atsmophere. That's what puts me off Bingoport.

  • I agree too - haven't even been a member there for 24 hours and I'm struggling to write ten posts! It's more painful than pulling teeth!! But just think about the vouchers...

    I usually do the newbies first - Welcome to Bingoport - I hope you win loads - sort of thing. Make sure you write over ten words or else it won't count.

    Could we all just write to each other on a thread on there? Does it have to be bingo related?

    I have downloaded the spreadsheet - thank you, but then transferred it into my original spreadsheet that I use for my expenditure throughout the year. All my pages link up and I have a summary sheet which totals up what I have spent, averages per month, over the quarter, half year and yearly and produces graphs so I can see at a glance my spending trends as such.

    One thing I will say - I have noticed that even though I have a £500pm budget for food and household (for 4 plus 4 pets) since May I haven't kept to it. I haven't changed my shopping habits (I don't think) so I need to revisit them!!!!

    It's the prices Diddly - everything is creeping up. 10p here and 1p there. It all mounts up!!! It's scary really.

    Legendmum - we would all have to play at the same time to answer one another, and another thing, there is a thread for non bingo related chat but you don't get any points for posting. Boo. ;)
