:mad: My first post here , and I'll make it short ! I don't know how you all feel about these so-called " Sign-up no-deposit bonuses " , but if you ask me , they all " STINK " ! Every single one of these bonuses is as useless as " tits on a bull " . They are good for nothing . Unlike the casino bonuses of the same kind , these bingo bonuses are to try out the site and you cannot win anything with them . They are giving you NOTHING ! I have no idea how any of you out there that enjoy Bingo could ever invest your own money in any of these bingo sites is behond my comprehension ! If they are so tight with their bonuses , which are for the most part only $ 5.00 , how could you trust sites like these with your money . What do you all think about this issue , I would really love to hear your opinion s on this matter . :thumbsdn: :thumbsdn:

If you believed you were going to walk into a bingo/casino site, and they will automatically give you a VIP treatment, you are hugely mistaken.

First, free "money" bingo/casino sites give out is exactly what you stated, they are "try out money", not "real money". They are giving that away so people will have the opportunity to experience their software/customer service. That is when you should have looked around. Many people, too many times, mistake that money as real money... if you can't take out, then it's not. but you shoulnd't feel bad about it. Just do your part of your work.

Other than your using of insensitive expression such as "tits on a bull" which will get you kicked out pretty quickly if you were in where I play, that should allow you to stick around a site.

Playing at Bingo site is like playing at casino... you think they will throw you extra freebies when you have deposited nothing and showed them no money?

That only makes you sound like a bonus hunter - bad for Bingo.

I'm new here too as well as a newbie to online bingo. I kinda agree with you. The problem I have though is after having paid 'real' money to play, I won a few small jackpots and was mostly paid in bonus bucks .....which of course I can't cash out. :mad:
That doesn't seem quite right to me since I wasn't playing with bonus bucks.
I've only played at two sites, so I admit I don't have much experience. Is this the usual procedure ? Fair and Square Bingo is where I have been playing. Does anyone else have experience there ?
Thanks ...and I really enjoy this site!

Hi,
New here as well as to online bingo.
I've been playing at Fair and Square bingo, so have very little to compare it to.
What bothers me is that I bought in with 'real' money, but the small jackpots I hit have mostly been paid in bonus bucks. :mad:
Is that common procedure for most online bingo ?
I have enjoyed this site and hope to learn more. Have been thinking of trying the online casinos and any help is appreciated !
Thanks

I have been around online bingo for many years now and have never heard of any pay site paying out the pots in bingo bucks. This is not the norm with pay sites. I would be questioning them about this a.s.a.p. If you deposited real money and playing real money you should be winning real money! I would be leaving that site but quick!!

I agree with Crusader. I work in this industry and have played for 8+ years and have never seen being payed a pot won in bbs, if you are a depositing player. I do know if you have never deposited and playing off free try them out bonus bucks you can be paid in BB's. But if you have deposited and won a pot legit no way should you be paid in bb's. I would seriously question that. wow just blows me away hearing mostly been paid in BB's.

zbatty - BY ANY CHANCE when you purchased your cards did some of the money towards the card purchase come from your bb funds??? I have actually paid at a couple of sites that do that. 2 things 1) >example< you buy 5$ worth of tickets and you only have 4.25 in your cash funds and the other 75 cents comes from bbs so when you win so much percent will go back to bbs and anotehr percent to your cash............or just all bbs whichever way they work 2) one site was at would take 25 or more from my bb credits with each purchase of cards I made. I don't know if this is your situation but that is what I have seen happen.

Ditto. With fake money you win fake money, with real money you win real money.

I have never heard anyone paying real money winnings out with fake money.

Agreed Dominique. There is no way you play with real money and win fake. What has most likely happened is you're waiting for your bonus to clear up and then you'll be seeing a "true withdraw" balance. Try BingoSuite.com as they have 3 deposit bonuses and 1 will clear by the time you're ready for round two. The single deposit bonus sites can take a LONG time....

Regarding real earnings on fake money, I've had players win with their pre-deposit bonus, make the minimum deposit / play criteria and walk away with a clean profit on Bingo Hall and Ladies Bingo.

My understanding is that any pre-deposit bonus on "The Gaming Network" Parlay sites are basically real money bonuses with no strings attached as well.
