    Are there not separate parts of this forum dedicated to gambling?

    Match betting probably, pretty sure Martin didn't/doesn't approve of gambling and warned against it.

    fake edit: there's a whole matched betting forum with the warning header
    "WARNING! Matched Betting needs MASSIVE caution. Not for beginners!
    This board’s for matched betting not gambling, that ISN’T MoneySaving. Mistakes can cost £1,000s.

    Mecca, JackpotJoy, FoxyBingo, GalaBingo probably make money from it
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales
  • I play online bingo alot and no it's not a good way to make money! Only play if you enjoy the game and don't expect to win - do it for the fun, chat, excitement etc. If you are lucky maybe you'll cashout something but for me that's not the main purpose.

    I made quite a bit out of the £25 and get £50 free off Tombola. Made about £500. Got some codes to get you a free £5 if anyone is interested? Every account gets them once signed up, so whoever joins next basically gets a free £5 to try and win something with, plus you get £1 for setting your limit. Not bad considering even if you don’t win, you haven’t lost anything.

    You say that, but when I tried bingo, I quickly lost the will to live.

    Do you think? I don’t think it’s that bad cos you can just leave them running and ignore them. Or their arcade bit is like instant win or instant loss. I’d never sit and watch a game of bingo play out, I’m too impatient.
