    What am I doing wrong Squigs? How can you play through your bonus without basically reducing your position to nearly zero?

    I thought bonus is the last of your money to be played?

    It's not the actual bonus amount you play through, it's the threshold amount which is possibly £120 (as it was on my account)

    Go to My Account, Wallet, Withdraw Funds, then click the message link to see how much remaining til you reach the threshold.

    EDIT : After wallet it may be Bonuses to click on, can't quite remember now !

    Helloooooo :wave: yes I'm in :D

    I'm trying to play through this bonus, it's taking forever!

    I'm not allowed to play at work so I'll have to wait until tonight :(

    Oh and it's lunchtime by the way I may push it a bit by lurking on here but I wouldn't actually play bingo whilst I was supposed to be working :rotfl:

    I'm playing my last £1.20 of my bonus and I haven't won a sausage.

    I haven't had an invite for over a year now. Just laughing and remembering that one of my first trials was for black bin bags. Our resident expert would have been a great candidate for that trial:rotfl::rotfl:

    BTW I'm sure most of you already know this, but some maybe not.

    You can buy up to 6 missing pension contribution years, ie go back no further than 2006/7. (If you don't have 35 years or more by the year before you retire, you won't get a full state pension.)

    Provided you live to an average age, your 'voluntary contribution' would pay for itself in about 2 years, then you'd be making money.

    Would anybody like details on:

    1. How to check your current status in terms of pension contribution years?
    2. How to buy back missing years?

    Please i would

    Oh I see, thanks. No worries then - I still have a few quid to go and am in decent profit.

    Too many players though right now!

    Didn't win a thing on BGO, deposited £10 got £20 bonus played through the lot and did not win. My cashback tracked though so I'm still £10.20 up.
