A Newbie, Bingo Liner and apple.freebiejeebies

[badger69]

Ok, I'm relatively new to this so this may be a dumb a$$ question!!

I just signed up to apple.freebiejeebies a little while ago and decided to do the Bingo Liner offer. After waiting an age for it to download I deposited £10.
Now, I've placed 11 £1 bets, but actually made money. Do I need to get the account down to £0 to qualify as the offer completed or do I just need to place bets totalling £10 or over (which is what I would understand as playing through your deposit).

Also, anyone know how long credits take, it has gone pending on a.fj almost instantly, but just wondering how long it will take to go green? Or won't it go green unless I actually lose all my money?

Many thanks in advance,

Badger69

you have done the offer correctly as you have played £10, you dont have to lose all your money to have completed it.

i think this offer takes a few days to credit but at least the pending status shows that its been tracked ok.

Thanks arcticfox20, thought I had.

Just found out that they don't pay your winnings back to your card, have to open a netteller account... more accounts!!

Anyone know if this is a good / safe way of getting your cash back from the gambling sites that use it?

yeh mate you're okay now, don't lose all your money!!! you don't need to do that!! this part is called the waiting game, where you just sit and wait for your status to change, it's tracked though so everything's okay, just try and get referrals for your gift now!

they are a pain in the arse, won almost £400 with them (with a £5 come back please email), my 'card of original deposit' didnt exist and so I registered a Solo card. This was over a week ago and it was only sent yesterday!!

Their customer services are crap!!! Delude mentions vague answers in another thread...

Me: can I have a banana please
Live help: I am sorry. We do not currently offer bananas as a payment option

I used Neteller to withdraw my money. Seemed fine to me and had a cheque in the post in a few days. They deduct £2 from whatever you win as an admin fee.

Just take a pic of your driving licsence with your mobile and send that in, not bad for a tenner!!

It says minimum £40 withdraw amount.
If I have less than this could I just deposit more cash to take it over the £40 then withdraw the total amount?

Coral did the same to me when I deposited £5 for an offer, only they suspended my account until I provided ID and when I did, they still didn't unsuspend it.

Yep just stick a bit more money in until you have £40 and you should be ok to withdraw it

That's odd because Coral usually have good service, try asking them again using the live help/messaging service, you should be able to withdraw your money

Apparently a passport doesn't prove my identity even though they asked for it.

I might try again later, although I don't hold much hope.
