Just done the jackpot joy opening offer £115 up. I'm rattling through the casino offers and haven't done a bookie offer this week yet.
I want to do bet 365 next but waiting for money to return to my account.
If anyone is doing the heart bingo offer there is £8 Cashback on Quidco which isn't a lot but is better than nothing.

Golden0ldie · 02/05/2019 22:48

What did you wager on for Jackpot Joy blue? I have still to do that one but am not hopeful as I did Woman Bingo and lots of people have had issues when doing both sites. Plan to try it with a different bank card and email address.

bluemumsbluedog · 02/05/2019 23:05

@Golden0ldie deposit and wager £10 and get 30 free spins and 200 bingo tickets

Golden0ldie · 02/05/2019 23:22

It’s a good offer Blue!

bluemumsbluedog · 03/05/2019 10:03

£11.25 Cashback at top Cashback when you wager £10 on Mecca bingo

Golden0ldie · 03/05/2019 10:27

If you do the Mecca Bingo offer, make sure you go back daily to do the wheel spin. I’m up £10 from that alone this week having had a BOB £1 bonus yesterday which netted me over £8 plus a couple of days where I got free spins. Well worth doing.

MaxNormal · 04/05/2019 07:10

Does anyone else use the Profit Accumulater site? I've been doing matched betting for a boy a month, £400 up so far but you all seem to use OddsMonkey, is that better?

Hello!

This thread fell off my threads I'm on so that means it's been far too long since I posted!

I'm still trucking on, having good days, great days and crappy days (lost £41 yesterday with a stupid stupid mistake Sad). But I'm still meeting my target of £100 p/w consistently and will be withdrawing over £300 this week to put towards something I've been saving for Grin.

I'm planning to do the 10bet sign-up this week and will be praying for a loss to the Exchange so I don't have to do all that wagering! Has anyone done this offer?

Thanks to whoever posted the mfortune tip a couple of weeks ago - after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing with ID and tel calls, £39.36 hit my bank account yesterday. No deposit so pure profit.

Sorry MaxNormal, I can't compare the two sites as I've only used OM. Why don't you sign up to the 10 day OM free trial and see which works best for you?

How is everyone doing?

Hey favourite ... sounds like it’s going well. I’ve also made a coupke of stupid, rookie mistakes where I should have known better. Cost me about £16 but really kicking myself.

Just saw the mfortune sign-up on TP fb page tonight. Plan to try it tomorrow but what happened with your withdrawal? Was it verification? Are they okay to deal with?

I did do the Party Casino welcome offer this evening. Deposit £10, no need to wager. 50 free spins on Starburst which got me £6.64 with x10 wagering which I did on Big Bad Wolf. Hit a fabulous bonus round with free spins and finished off with a £29.95 profit. Beauty!

Am having a day off tomorrow though am tempted, depending on ql, to have a few pounds on Leicester for a 2UP. Can’t see it happening but would be a nice profit if it did.

DonkeyScramble · 06/05/2019 17:22

I'm up to £6.5k now but the gubbings have been thick and fast!

Zephbloggs · 06/05/2019 21:07

Have any of you been asked to send ID to the bookies? I've just done my 2nd ever matched bet, the first one using Smarkets, and they have suspended my account. They want me to email copies of my passport or driving licence plus a bill. I don't really want to do this, it just seems like a bad idea to send them all my ID when you continually hear about identity fraud.

Perhaps I'm just getting stressed about nothing, but I'm interested to see if this has happened to anyone else on any bookies, and if it has been ok. I put £100 in the smarkets account to cover liability and currently can't get any of it back Sad

Fluffycloudland77 · 06/05/2019 21:14

Yes it’s routine.

thefavourite · 06/05/2019 22:50

@Golden0ldie - thanks for the Party Casino tip! Did it tonight in front of the tv, up £8.69 after Starburst free spins, converted this into £33.40 withdrawable profit after wagering £86.90 on Bloodsuckers.

I hope you didn't go for 2up tonight!

I have backed and locked in Barcelona (underlayed) tomorrow for GG, fingers crossed!

That's normal Zeph, they are just following the regulations and is easily sorted.

Hi all

Can I just check I've got this right on x wavering.

So, using Goldenoldie's example. Am I right in thinking deposit £10, won £6.64 but then had to wager that 6.64x10 to be able to withdraw? So you'd have to wager £66.40 to get your £6.64 out? Is that right or am I confused? Don't you lose a lot of money that way or are the returns worth the risk?

I have to admit x wavering requirements have put me off a lot of offers, so am I missing something?

Paintingtheroseswhite · 07/05/2019 14:24

*wagering bloody autocorrect

bluemumsbluedog · 07/05/2019 15:38

Yes that would be right 10 times your bonus, sometimes it pays off sometimes not

titchy · 07/05/2019 15:55

You need to read the ts and cs very carefully with casino offers. If they use bonus first then you can't lose, but most use cash first so you'll never get to your bonus. There are ways around this but you need to reasonably experienced. TBH I wouldn't recommend any casino offers (unless they are genuinely free spins with no wagering requirement on winnings), until you have built your bank up to at least £5k and can afford to lose some of that..

NamelessGem · 07/05/2019 16:12

Hello ladies (and any men!)

I am about to start matched betting, have some ones set aside for it etc. Have watched the videos and following the steps -

Tried to sign up for Betfair, it won’t let me !
Says I already have an account (I do not) I don’t have a mobile number of my own (I use my DH’s for calls, I have a mobile without a sim)

Have tried a new email, a different name, a different birthday - but no luck! It will not let me set up an account !

Has anyone else had this ? If so please share your wisdom :) ! X

thefavourite · 07/05/2019 16:26

@Paintingtheroseswhite, I'm no expert, but in my case above, the wagering I did was all from my original £8.69 win and I didn't ever risk my own £10. So you keep winning and turning over the same cash on a high RTP game. If your balance goes down to your deposit amount then you have just out and you stop and either withdraw the cash (if possible without wagering) or leave it in the casino's bank for a future offer.

In my case above, I won a few bonus rounds, so ended up turning my £8.69 into £33.40 while wagering (I'll bust out 9/10!).

Thanks Fluffy and Favourite, I'll just send Smarkets what they're asking for then.
You've all really inspired me, I'm hoping I can make some money!

YesQueen · 07/05/2019 22:04

I do a lot of casino. Main things for me are I check it's positive EV on the trickybet calculator. I remember what my balance is and I basically play down to that amount with wagering so never risk my own money
I do some offers every day like the sky casino spins lounge one. Read all the small print!
And stuff like the sky casino where it's £10 and get 5 free spins - don't get to say £9 down and think sod it, I'm losing and bail out before the free spins as it takes one spin to make you a profit. It's ups and downs, I was minus £16 one day and up £110 the day after

itsabongthing · 08/05/2019 15:11

Just wanted to check in and say hi and thank you for all the tips on here. Having dabbled a bit a few years ago and done quite a few of the welcome offers I was a bit rusty but started again in April, this time with Oddsmonkey and team profit.
Just passed the £600 and really delighted. Couple of slip ups along the way and need to be careful of casino offers as I’ve got in a muddle with wagering etc but learnt from it and am more cautious with offers now.

Gubbings are starting though - already had betway gubbed from before and now had Betfair casino and today Genting bet. Does anyone else take it personally?! I’m half joking but it does give me a horrible feeling like I’ve been caught doing something wrong!!

Colette · 08/05/2019 22:30

Hi, I'm pretty new to this and have found the threads really useful .

I've now completed about 5 free opening offers and it is definitely easier.I'm thinking of upgrading my phone and am looking for advice on whether android or iPhones are better for using the apps ?Currently use a PC which is slow and navigating some website is a bit difficult sometimes , due to the way our old Windows displays them :-[ (and my brain fog )
Thanks
