This morning the bingo vine is buzzing with the story of a woman who has stolen over £60,000 from her employers to fund her bingo addiction.

Jailed for six months for the theft, Sandra Preston stole the money from the Total garage where she worked using a payment system, meaning she transferred money directly into her bingo accounts.

The money was used to credit accounts at Mecca Bingo and Foxy Bingo,  and amazingly it only took her two months between August and October 2007 to steal the £60,000.

The question on everyones lips seems to be “how did no one notice?” This is an incredible amount of money to 1. steal and 2. deposit- did no warning flags go up with the great amounts that she was depositing? Most sites these days will have a system of making sure players can afford to make large deposits. But this was obviously not hte case here.
