Subscribe and ring the bell

Subscribing is free. The bell buzzes your phone every time a video lands.

1. Sign in (or create an account — the same sign-in as your Vault).
2. Press Subscribe on the home page's big band.
3. Press Ring the bell and allow notifications when your phone asks.

The bell doesn't buzz on my iPhone

On iPhone the bell is in the Bandit TV app. Get it from the App Store (the button is under Apps, further down this page), sign in, and say yes when it asks to send notifications.

I subscribed on the old site

You're carried over — your bell rings on the new site without doing anything.

The £10,000 giveaway

Drawn on 5 October 2026. UK, 18+. Four winners picked by a public random number and announced by the Bandit.

1. Everyone subscribed on backinamo.tv and confirmed as 18 or over by 20:58 on 5 October 2026 was in the hat: 5,778 people, one entry each. Staff, test accounts and duplicate accounts were left out.
2. The list was sealed and its fingerprint published before the random number existed. The number then set the order, and the first four took £4,000, £3,000, £2,000 and £1,000.
3. The draw page shows the fingerprint, the number and the result. Under Check it yourself, press Recompute the draw and your own browser works the whole result out again.
4. If you won, you are contacted through your Bandit TV account. Winners are checked on the Vault (phone, ID and a UK bank account) before a prize is paid.

See the draw

Did I win?

Sign in and open the draw page. It shows your own entry and tells you if you are a winner or a reserve.

Who picked the winners?

Nobody. The order came from a public random number, drand round 32,809,074, which did not exist when the list was sealed. Anyone can check it on the draw page.

What is a reserve?

Ten reserve entries were drawn in order after the winners. A winner has 14 days from being contacted to pass the checks. If a winner can't be verified or doesn't answer in time, the prize passes to the next reserve.

I subscribed after 20:58 on 5 October

You are not in this draw. Subscribing stays free, and the bell still buzzes you when a video lands.

Fire TV: install the app and link it

The Bandit TV app is on the Amazon Appstore. It shows a code — here is where the code goes.

1. On your Fire TV, search the Amazon Appstore for Bandit TV and install it.
2. Open the app. The first screen shows a short code.
3. On your phone, go to backinamo.tv/link and sign in.
4. Type the code exactly as shown and press Link my TV. The telly picks up your account within a few seconds.

My code has nowhere to go

It goes to backinamo.tv/link on your phone (also under Me → Link your TV). Sign in first, then type it.

The code stopped working

A code lasts 10 minutes. Back out of the app and open it again for a fresh one.

I want to unlink a telly

Me → Devices lists every linked TV with a Revoke button.

iPhone and Android apps

The iPhone app is on the App Store, free. Fire TV is live too; Android follows.

1. On your iPhone, open the App Store and search for Bandit TV — or press the button below. It needs iOS 17 or later.
2. Open the app and watch straight away. Sign in with the same details you use here to comment, like and pick up where you left off.
3. Android: until the app lands, use backinamo.tv in your phone's browser — everything works there.

Get Bandit TV on the App Store

Is the arcade in the iPhone app?

No. The arcade lives on backinamo.tv — open the site in your phone's browser and sign in with the same details.

Will the app buzz me when a video lands?

Yes, on iPhone. The app offers it after your first video, and you can turn it on any time under Me → Notifications. In a browser, ring the bell instead.

Bandit Gold

Gold earns while you watch, signed in. It has no cash value — it's for the fun of it.

1. Sign in and watch. Every minute a video plays pays 1 Gold, more when you're on a streak, with no daily limit. The chip under the player shows what you've earned today.
2. Your Gold lives in one wallet shared with the Vault, so it's the same number on both sites.
3. New here? Verify your mobile once, from the button on the chip or in your wallet. The Gold you've already earned lands as soon as you do.
4. Every long video also hides one Gold drop, somewhere past the 20-minute mark. The line under the player tells you when Gold is hidden.
5. Watch through to it and you catch it. Skipping ahead doesn't count. Everyone who catches a video's drop gets the same Gold, once per video.
6. Claim your catch on the card under the player, or leave it: a couple of minutes later it lands in your wallet by itself, and the bell lets you know.

My Gold says it's waiting

Verify your mobile (the button on the chip under the player, or in your wallet). Everything you've earned is kept for you and lands the moment you verify.

Is there a daily limit?

No. Every minute you watch pays, on one screen at a time.

Can I cash Gold out?

No. Gold has no cash value and can't be bought or sold.

Vault codes and Gold Rush codes

Two different codes live in the Bandit's world — here is where each one goes.

1. The daily Vault code — the word the Bandit gives out in a video — is a Vault entry code. Redeem it at vault.backinamo.com/play, the Vault's Play page. It is never entered on Bandit TV.
2. A Gold Rush code is 8 letters that appear inside a Bandit TV video while you watch. Cash it on the Gold Rush page here — the ticket icon in the header, Gold in the phone menu, or the link on your Wallet.
3. Your Bandit Gold is ONE balance shared by both sites: Gold you earn or catch here shows in the Vault, and Gold from the Vault shows here.

I typed a Vault code on the Gold page and it said it doesn't match

Right code, wrong door — Vault codes only work in the Vault. Open vault.backinamo.com/play, sign in with the same details, and enter it there.

Do I need a separate Vault account?

The same sign-in works on both sites. Verify your mobile once — Wallet → Verify to unlock Gold, right here — and your Gold works on both.

The Arcade

Seven cabinets played with Gold. Members only, over-18s, provably fair.

1. Sign in and open Arcade. The first time, confirm your date of birth — asked once.
2. Pick a cabinet: crash, plinko, dice, the wheel, the ladder, the claim field or the posse.
3. Every round's fairness can be checked on the verify page linked from the arcade.

I can't see the arcade

It's members-only: sign in. If you've taken a break under Safer play, it stays closed until the break ends.

Comments

Top comments first, like YouTube. Sort with the pills; new comments arrive live.

1. Sign in to comment, reply and like. Reading is free.
2. Sort with Top · Newest · Oldest above the list — your choice is remembered.
3. New comments wait behind an 'N new comments' pill so the page never jumps; tap it to let them in.
4. Report anything that shouldn't be there — every report is read.

Your account and Safer play

One sign-in for Bandit TV and the Vault. Everything about you is under Me.

1. Forgot your password? Use Forgot password on the sign-in page — the reset email brings you straight back.
2. Change your display name, see linked devices or delete your account under Me.
3. Safer play lets you pause earning and the arcade for a set time — it's under Me and every Gold page.
