    I used paypal, so with any luck the fees will be their end.
    I'm slightly in profit without the cashback - luckily I withdrew my money before being locked out, but as gala bingo are no longer on tcb, I'm sceptical about the chances of ever being paid the £50.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It is a bit annoying, £2.50, I have never used my card to get cash so have never encountered it before. It was probably in the small print somewhere so I can't complain.

    I live in hope of getting my cashback but I think I can safely say I won't be tempted again and would just cut my losses, lesson learned, if not.

    I was also charged a cash fee of £3 on my credit card + 11p interest. A bit annoying, but I'll live with it as long as the TCB comes through.

    I have received credit card bill today and was charged gambling transaction fee of £3 plus 16p interest, not impressed, especially as tcb confirmed as £20.20 and not the £50.50 promised.
    Cash back claim lodged...
    Online bingo was tedious and was glad to spend my £10 so didn't have to go back.

    I got an interest charge too and I bet there's more next month too I have a horrible feeling about this as well maybe I'll be proved wrong

    Mine went payable today too so thank you tunafish11!

    Didn't expect it so soon as it was estimated at 12 weeks and it's only been about 5 I think.

    TBH I thought we might have a fight on our hands to get this.
  • Mine too and yes I was expecting issues with this one though to be fair to them I haven't actually really had an issues its just the horror ones I read on here that makes me uneasy
