The RE website is now working - you can now do the accreditation for the bookies jobs...

Am I correct in saying the RE bookies jobs are only available to men? They show up for my OH and not for me.

It is possible - if it doesnt show in your account. Clients often state particular profiles that they require for a typical customer - for this you must have 5 years experience of using betting shops and as you have pointed probably a male

How do people find the GapB reports/assignments?

I've been offered a couple of jobs for today but the fee and reimbursement isn't exactly impressive and I'm not sure if they are worth my while as I haven't worked for them before.

Are they relatively straighforward or a lot of work for little in return? I have a baby son so I want to spend as much time with him as possible.

Any advice is welcomed.

The GAP reports are really easy to fill out - it's mostly a case of multiple choice. 15 mins max for a long assignment such as some of the stamp ones. You usually have to give a comment at the end of most of their reports. Nothing like RE who want a comment on just about every question.

The GAP food ones are the easiest. Take about 5 minutes plus scanning your receipt. Whatever you do, always remember the receipt! Or they will sack you.

And another thing. If the brief says not to take anyone with you - DONT. This includes babies in prams. The management will check your visit on CCTV and will try and discredit you if you've not followed the guidelines exactly. Bringing a baby is another sacking offence.

There is a job I could do for (oops) but there is only an expenses payback of £25 and I'm to buy a pair of jeans. Surely there are no pairs of jeans for that amount? I thought they were quite expensive...

I have been registered to these websites for ages and done a couple of visits but I'm only now looking at them a lot trying to find ones to do and there doesn't seem to be much there at all would be better if I drove I suppose.
