I was recently approached by Scrummy Bingo, who wanted to introduce themselves to me. It seemed too good to be true – new players are offered a £15 sign up bonus – and even better, when registering, I didn’t have to give many personal details or register a credit card.
The site is really cute – images of cake, cupcakes and a lot of pink are used – all my favourite things! I spent the next few days playing through the site and deciding if it was something I’d want to share with you. The £15 I was given was loaded as “bonus bucks” and can’t be redeemed. However, they can be converted to your cash balance, at a rate of £10 Bonus Bucks = £1 cash. Logging in daily nets you a £1 CASH bonus. Possibly my favourite thing about Scrummy Bingo is that their website works on mobiles and tablets, which is great for playing in bed, or even the bath if you trust yourself. I’m addicted to the “Cupid’s Arrows” slots.
As with all bingo sites, you need to have made a deposit before you can withdraw. So I deposited £10, thinking that I could withdraw £24.98, making it £14.98 profit. I then discovered that you need a minimum of £30 balance to withdraw, so I was faced with two options. I could either deposit another £10 and withdraw £34.98 (still getting £14.98 in profit) or I could play until I turned by £24.98 into £30. The latter was not an option (I don’t gamble to lose money, only when there are good cashback offers or it is a free sign up bonus – no deposit required). So I deposited another £10, bringing my total over the £30 threshold and proceeded to withdraw. My Bonus Bucks were also completely wiped out now, taking them to a balance of £0.
In order to withdraw you also have to meet certain wagering terms:
1. Withdrawals can only be made by real-money players, who have made a minimum deposit of £10 to their account.
2. You may request one withdrawal during every seven-day period.
3. In order for you to request a withdrawal, you must wager the value of your last deposit (all deposits of the day), plus any bonuses, four times (4X) on bingo games, or ten times (10X) on other games.
E.g., if you deposit £10, and receive a £20 bonus on the value of that deposit, giving you a total of £30, you will need to wager the total amount of £30 X 4 (four times) = to the amount of £120 for Bingo Games or £30 X 10 (ten times) = £300 for other Games.
4. If you do not choose to claim a bonus when depositing, you must wager your deposit amount once 1X before claiming a withdrawal. This is necessary to comply with Anti Money Laundering regulations.
E.g., if you deposit £10, you will need to wager £10 before you can withdraw funds.
Of course, I found it after I’d requested my withdrawal! Completely my fault for not checking the terms before depositing and withdrawing! I received an email a few hours later informing me of my mistake and showing me easily how I can meet the wagering requirements.
Now, despite me earlier saying that, as a general rule, I don’t spend my own money on bingo sites, I could genuinely see this website becoming a site I would use regularly. With Tony working nights we don’t get to go out as a couple very often, so I may treat myself to a few games at Scrummy Bingo instead.
Let me know if you’ve given Scrummy Bingo a try! You have nothing to lose and winnings to gain!
