My win and the end of the story

Chev, i can totally relate to what you're saying. I had a £520 win on a bingo site whilst playing my minimum deposit to get the cashback, thankfully i was able to withdraw £499 of it as a deposit back to my DC (allbeit, it took 5 days!)

The remaining money just got sucked back in, thinking i would win something again, but to no avail. I have since played again with real money and found myself putting in a tenner and later that evening a tenner again! This is not good when you are striving to be debt free! with a long way to go like me!

So now i have to make myself stay away from the bingo sites, i don't play free games or anything as A) they are actually boring, real bingo once a month is better it's too easy to spend money and C) i have an addcitive personality and don't know when to stop.

Well done you for realising the slippery slope, and having your confessional here. You're right it definately helps!

thank you for your posts - i too got caught up on the gambling after initially going in through quidco to get my earnings, winning some, then going on again and again and again and feeling so stupid cos it started cos of trying to get rid of debt in the first place - let to me missing two months mortgage. that's my confession - no more for me either. must have spent about £400. thank you again for your (plural) confessions - you've helped me admit it.
