Thats the problem, do i play and try to make funds for going out....yet risk losing £10 or £20 (one night out)
Or do i not play and save £10 or £20 and go out 
Hmm

the thing is......
say 10% of the time you win to comply with the gambeling rules
the first 10,000 people to play will win
word gets around like on here
the next 90,000 loose
still 10% of the people win
thats how I see it happening

nah, i see it more of it's to get people hooked thinking it's easy, and greed kicks in, thats the same with bookies offering free bets, because customers nearly always come back

yup!
They'll get a load of new members joining via word of mouth. Some of those will win and some wont.
The vast maority will never go back on there again, where as others will stick about either trying to win their money back or putting back in their winnings as got greedy.

Try it, put the £110 on all the games (£10 is your only risk) wait for the money to come in. If it doesnt your only £10 down.

I think it's more the case of people will post up across the internet saying 'WOW LOOK WHAT I WON' ...
But the people who lost will rarely post up anything at all.
I think the timing of when I tried it was unfortunate...
At the end of the day these gambling programs aren't stupid, they're designed so that the house always wins.
For example the prize for each game is based on how much has been invested for the game.
So for example the other day the £50 full house prize game had 47-60 players at any point...
Say on average they each bought 10 tickets (on average) for £2.50
47 * £2.50 = £117.50
So the game can pay out a £10 prize, a £25 prize and a £50 prize and still net a £32.50 PROFIT to the casino. Per game... Loads of game's per hour ... you do the maths.
I noticed less players = less prize money, more players = more prize money (obviously all calculated so the casino always wins a profit). It's possible it takes into account whether it was bonus money spent or real money in this equation too!
End of the day it's all odds and luck.
47 players, if you each had 1 ticket you'd have a 47-1 chance (so stastically in 47 games you may win once in theory).
But then there's tickets, so if you buy 10 tickets, but everyone else has 1 ticket you have more chance, but if everyone buys 48 tickets and you have just 1 ticket per game your odds are really low.
The reason a lot of people have won with this bonus scheme in my opinion is because you can afford to waste a lot of money, buying lots of tickets in lots of games.
If you were playing with real money, would you really be playing 10 - 20 tickets in 50+ games?? 
It's possible the geniune players playing with geniune money will be playing with far few amount of tickets / or lower cost games (as it's wasting lots of their money)... for this reason the people with bonus money playing in high cost games are winning big (strek206 for example).
Your not playing against the casino in this game, your playing against the other players.
If you with bonus money are against other real money players your chances of winning are high... But if you are playing with bonus money and are playing against loads of people also playing with bonus money your chances are far less ... as people will be risking similarly large amounts of money / tickets / in lots of games too and if bonus money is not used to calculate prizes, it can = low prize amounts for lots of players. (low prize, high risk).
Bottom line is... I think this worked originally really well, as you had people playing high stake, large ticket numbers in a game world of REAL money players who were betting small often.
But NOW (or at least when I played) you have a whole sea of new internet people playing solely on Bonus money and thus it's a lot less likely to win. For everytime YOU win, all the other players in the game lose! It's just luck at the end of the day.
Plus there is the fact as mentioned that the casino site wants to hook you in with a quick win, so you come back / gamble your winnings for more and lose it all again.

People are over analizing this FAR too much.
It's bingo, they are giving you £100 free credit.
You might get lucky and win big for your £10 deposit, you may lose the tenner.
Paying out the people who do win probably costs less than the equivalent amount of advertising.

Also, whatever you do, don't show him the EuroMillions thread. Those calculations will be huuuge.

So does this work or not? As in do you get your winnings if you win? Has anyone actually got the funds back into their bank account?

It works, we have money in the bank.
Euromillions, you pay £1.50, you have roughly a 100 million to one chance to hit the jackpot.
If you think wasting £1.50 to win 88 million is an acceptable risk, buy a ticket.

John how did you play this bingo thing? I might try it as its only a tenner!  as in is there a better way to do it than just randomly whack it in.
I would read back pages but Paul has over analysed things and confused me

I randomly whacked it in.
Just go to pre order, put 10 or 20 in every game down the page till you run out of money.
