Do any of you play on-line bingo?

How does it work?

[daffy654]

Don't do it! My sister has spent thousands of punds on online bingo sites and freely admits to everyone that it is a mug's game.

If you made those fairy buns in the nuddie, for gawds sake don't ever contemplate making doughnuts

I dont, judging by the adverts it looks like too much effort having to get dressed up to log in

I do now and again mrs o. Registered originally with £20 when I was bored one day and got a £20 bonus. They have a free game every evening at 7pm and I won it the first saturday I played. Won £500 so that went straight into my bank. I suppose since I have put in another £30 but tend just to play the free games and have since won another £150, which again went straight into the bank.

Over teh last year I've signed up to about a dozen bingo/casino sites through cashbacksites such as Quidco which give you a £10-£15 cashback payment just for depositing and playing £10 with a site. On the bingo sites I played my £10, ashed in any winnings and left, then moved onto thenext site. I probably broke even or maybe lost a few pounds but after the cashbacks I made a fair net profit.
Anyway, the bingo was quite good fun. You can but up to 40 tickets a game but the computer marks the bingo ticket numbers off for you and tells you when there's a winner. I can see how people less mean than me get hooked.

Not a chance!
In order to gamble you have to be able to afford to lose the stake. Don't be sucked in by the 'free money' initial offers; they do this because they know that once you start they've got you!

I only asked cos me & one of my sisters have been discussing it - we thought you had to sit glued to you 'puter & actually mark off the numbers somehow.
I've no intentions of playing

[cazzz1975]

yeah I saw you getting ready on tv vic ;)

[anneasquith]

i saw the advert today....................what a load of rubbish, and very sexist, only women it seems play. and when you win you get a posh party frock !

[Jan1957]

You don't even have to be logged on mrs o. You can pre-buy tickets or register for free games. When I won the £150 I wasn't logged in. Came as a nice surprise when I did.

[cazzz1975]

I remember the fuss about a bingo hall opening nearby, everyone was opposed to it, now its been built you cant keep the buggers out of there

[lankeela]

I keep thinking about it, but know I would probably get hooked so daren't even look.
Is there a free one where you don't pay anything and don't win anything i.e. do it just for fun?
