[magicmitch69]

I even deposited £75 on foxy the other day and lost it all playing slots !

I understand magicmitch69.  I played lots of free bingo that one time and won up to $300 at certain places, and found out that winning from free bonus was not eligble for withdrawal.  I stop playing since, but if I decide to play bingo again, I'll find a good site, deposit with big bonus and see if mrs lady luck smiles with me.

Banned for playing what they offer.  Hmm - why do they bother to offer the free bingo magicmitch. 

I'm really surprised.

That's interesting. I checked out the section of the terms that they are referring to.

7. You are only permitted to enter Free Bingo for your own personal entertainment and non-professional use. Any other use of the Free Bingo games is strictly prohibited.

8. Constant use of the free bingo rooms (i.e. playing free bingo games more than 3 hours a day on average every week or staying in the free bingo rooms for more than 120 games per week) will be regarded as professional use.

9. The Company reserves the right to block or remove a player who violates or fails to adhere to these terms and conditions without prior warning.

The max withdrawal from the free bingo rooms is £100 for non-funded players. Even if you haven't requested a withdrawal, you certainly could. This would be why they lay out clear limitations of use in their terms & conditions.

I'm sure you meant well magicmitch and are just enjoying a bit of online bingo. Yet another reason why we have to read those darn t's & c's so closely. Ugh! Not to fear though, there're plenty of good site out there.

Good luck

That's awesome magicmitch! I'm so glad you can get back to the bingo. I wish you lots of luck.

good resolution at the end.

but this rule really sucks : 7. You are only permitted to enter Free Bingo for your own personal entertainment and non-professional use. Any other use of the Free Bingo games is strictly prohibited.

So how do they determin whats a professional use? And if they fear bonus abusers then why do they offer free bingo?

[lipstick_xoxos]

Hi 2fast,

I think that this rule pretty much sums it up.........

8. Constant use of the free bingo rooms (i.e. playing free bingo games more than 3 hours a day on average every week or staying in the free bingo rooms for more than 120 games per week) will be regarded as professional use.

They allow up to 3 hours a day and 120 games a week. That is allowing a LOT of play time! Anything past that is considered abuse.

I think if you are a depositing player.. that that rule should not exist, the free rooms should be able to use whenever, whatever and how ever long, i can understand a non depositing player constantly in the free rooms, thats like loitering or panning for money without asking lol..

and yes,if they fear bonus abuse.. why offer free and the ability to cash out on a free, and also advertise it, but kick you out if you stay too long calling you a professional?

i've kicked it the bingos rooms for hours enjoying the company, but i never knew they had it in the back of their mind, timing your stay and play!
