    On my return home, I found

    1. House in a terrible state, looks like there was a 'gathering' aka party last night (DS2 has not surfaced from his room)

    2. DS1 has given me £100 board and lodgings .... 1st time ever!

    Good afternoon Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
    Wendy I'm glad you have some legal/union help on your side now. Hugs to you and your DH.
    HG hope you are enjoying your holiday. Not jealous at all!
    It's been cold all day but now with added rain. Lovely.
    I'm doing my Birdwatch tomorrow so hopefully will have some winged visitors.
    I have the £5 TCB bonus. If I do Kitty Bingo do I have to do £12 or is this not subject to VAT? I have no clue. Can anyone advise me please and thank you?

    You need to go through to the deposit stage and you'll get the offers there and you can choose not to take one.

    Bearing in mind I have missed a lot .... why are you doing this without activating the sign up bonus?

    Its always best not to activate the sign up bonus, as it means you have to meet their wagering limits before withdrawing money (usually huge). If you dont accept it, it means you can just play the £10 required for TCB, then withdraw any winnings you MAY have made from that £10.

    Thanks, makes perfect sense when an expert explains it to me!

    :) If you accept Bonus you then have to wager another 4 x the bonus & your £10 to be able to withdraw any winnings
    So for £10 you would of have to put a lot x 4

    SO DO NOT ACCEPT BONUS :naughty:

    On Deposit page you choose card payment & NO BONUS :D

    I've had to provide proof of my identity before I can withdraw. No hassle as I have the documents there ready to go as i do matched betting. Hopefully won't take them long to verify :)
