    Spent my £10.

    Online Bingo is extremely dull.

    I should have done that. Somehow left with 3p from my original £10 deposit (no winnings) which I need to spend in order to be entitled to the cashback. Think the only way I can do this is to deposit more money and the minimum appears to be £5 :(

    There are some games for 1p and 2p as I used them to use up my deposit. Think they were in the 90 ball section.

    A really stupid question here but I can't find any games that are 25p each. They also seem to be lower denominations of say 5, 10 or 15p and the maximum amount you can buy is only about three pounds worth in one go !!! I've deposited my tenner but that's as far as I've got. Can anyone help?
    TIA:)

    I've finally figured it out and spent all my cash on forty tickets.

    I have literally just signed up to this as too good an offer to miss and have ended up winning £783 on the Deal or No Deal 90 ball bingo.

    I won the £203 jackpot and was offered £81 for my box which I declined and in my box was the highest amount of £580!!!!!!

    So thanks for posting OP!

    Holy Moly!!!

    I deposited my tenner and played some games till I had no money left. Apparently I won £1.65 on one of them but I have no idea of where it is so that I can spend and get rid of it.

    I tell you what, I have always been a bit afraid of subscribing to such a site in case I become addicted but now I am glad I did as I can see now I could never become addicted. Couldn't wait for my money to disappear.

    Now I just need to wait and see if I get my Cashback money but even if I don't, at least it has taught me that I don't want to do this.

    Did you give your correct date of birth? I understand the need for verifying a person is 18 or over but personally I don't like to give out this information unless absolutely necessary.

    Perhaps others can confirm if they supplied their full d.o.b. and whether anyone else has had the message too?

    I just spent all the money, I hope that's ok. I can't really see the appeal to be honest, though I suppose if you win on your first attempt, you'd be more tempted to have another go :)

    Totally agree
