    I would say keep away. They can drain your money!!!

    They seem to have a community but you are spending whilst there!

    Where they have sign-up bonuses (free + added bonus) getting the winning money is difficult as they have turn-over requirements!!! (Wagering)

    Speaking as someone who got quickly sucked into it and spent hundreds of pounds on such sites a few years ago (my pre-comping days! ;) ) , my tip is...don't do it!

    Sure, you get that buzz thinking that you might win and even more so when you do win but you will always want more and will almost certainly deposit more in total than you'll ever get back.

    Another point about the sign-up bonuses - In my experience of multiple sites, it's in some way fixed so that you are guaranteed a small win when playing with free credit, encouraging you to start spending for real or, as said above, you have to put in some more money to get the winnings out. Sneaky!

    Otherwise, Tombola was the most enjoyable site for me and if you want to try a variety of instant win games too, Jackpot Joy.

    Totally agree with the above - if you qualify for a free bet or bingo or casino - great - sometimes if you win small they will let you take out the winnings by speaking to them on chat or whatever - if they don't - do not put in your own money - you will lose long term.

    I did once sign up to Tombola using a code given away by a newspaper and won £100 which they paid to me by cheque.

    Rule No 2 - Never register a card with these sites - it is too tempting just to play for a few minutes which soon add up.
