    I'm having a second thought. If my backup my config, most likely that would also backup my username and password? Possibly not a safe idea to post it online.

    Probably your best option is to root the phone and install beermoney assist.

    Ok, no, username & password not for sharing, of course.

    Rooting the phone is probably beyond my capabilities, but will ask around friends that are more savvy for help.

    Thanks again, you do lots to help people on the thread. :beer:

    I'm not sure if the username/password are stored online or offline. And what about favourites? I am not really sure about it.

    But if you need the bare app, just use the link I provided a couple of pages ago. They are pre-removal of favourites:

    RE: CASINO.COM OFFER

    Just as an update to those that saw I put a ticket in after opening an account and depositing £10 via paypal, but not receiving the 2000 advertised credits....

    I have today received an email from Casino.com stating that my account is now fully restricted until I post in all the required ID such as passport and utility bill copies. I have again tried to log on to withdraw my £10 but it won't even let me access the account, so it looks like I have no option to comply with the request if I want to see my £10 again!

    I'm aware some of you have managed to simply click through and receive credits as promised and then withdraw your deposit quite easily also, but its also worth people being aware that for whatever reason (only casino.com know why), you may end up not being so lucky and then having to jump through all kind of hoops just to get your own cash back.

    So, just be wary when making your own decision whether to sign up. Cheers!

  • I don't play ball with these casino offers. I'd rather forfeit my 2000 points and keep myself (relatively) sane.

    To be honest ciaccino, I would normally follow the same logic and stay well clear regardless of well meaning suggestions etc. I really don't know what got into me this time simple temptation I guess lol!

    I'd also make it clear that while this was done on suggestion, I have a mind of my own, as does everyone else. No one to blame here but myself, just wanted to highlight to others WHY it's worth steering clear sometimes.

    Hey ho, each to their own though! :)

  • There is a gambling component in Swagbucks and other GPT sites (never mind Neobux that IMHO is a glorified Ponzi scheme). You need to be able to resist the temptation to aim for easy and fast bucks. It's not easy. It takes a lot of discipline. I was tempted to play sweepstakes some time ago. I'm glad I didn't. I can make 150 SB a day without the apps and on a good day 250-300 with the apps, plus bonuses.

    I've been doing this nearly 3 years now and I never ever spend my own money to get points, on this or any PTC site. I never give out my credit card, bank info etc etc. If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is. Everyone would be wise to remember that legit companies/ offers really would have no need to advertise on SB. I think Ciaccino makes a good point above, slow and steady wins the race. I'm sure we're all trying to find simple ways to bring in some extra cash. Be wise people, just as you would in other walk of your life- bear in mind Trading Standards and other scam advice, as you normally would :)

    Completely agree with both above. I'm usually the most adamant and resistant of individuals when it comes to stuff like this. Like I said, moment of madness. Might actually put it down to pregnancy brain and the heat. I've been making some reeeeeeeally strange choices for me lately!!!!

    I'm usually really happy with just running the apps, the odd code and a few surveys here and there. Easily makes £20-25 a month which is a lovely little side earner in my humble opinion.

    I hope you can get your money back- but hey- at least it was only £10! I had a scammer on Gumtree trying to con me out of £360 this morning. Always have to be wary these days! (Unfortunately).
