  • Yep I have the e-mail too. I am sorry but how is a bunch of what 10 people, not related, spread all over the uk, and with the number of members they have classed as a collusion? Definition of collusion:

    Collusion is an agreement between two or more persons, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair advantage.I][URL="http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"][COLOR=#0645ad]citation needed[/COLOR][/URL][/I It is an agreement among firms to divide the market, set prices, or limit production.[1] It can involve "wage fixing, kickbacks, or misrepresenting the independence of the relationship between the colluding parties".[2] In legal terms, all acts effected by collusion are considered void

    We didn't refer each other, or do anything that could have helped us win. How can you fix bingo for goodness sake? and how if one or two of use won was that going to effect the rest of the members? Absolutely ridiculous!

    rant over :mad:

    Half of us haven't even got the same usernames on here, so I can't see how anyone has connected us. The must have suddenly noticed that the payouts are going up, yet people aren't playing on the 'pay for' links. It can't be that either though, beacuse I've joined a few sites via their links. It can't even be the mention on Woohoo - because there's quite a few BP members on it, they havethe same usernames, and they haven't been banned! Very odd!!!

    I've been over to DU this morning and rated everyone. Review coming up about BP on DooU methinks. ;) That'll lose 'em a few more potential customers.

  • Sorry but just one other point. If they dont want people on there that know each other, why do they let you refer people. Are you telling me that if I had told 10 of my non mse friends about the site they would have been booted for collusion!

  • According to the definition of collusion, infact the only ones that are guilty are in fact bp, as they have witheld points and stopping those who have rightfully earnt points to redeem by terminating/limiting accounts. In fact that is a very serious offence for a business which I feel needs to be raised, and indeed reported.
