    The part which would alert me to a scam is this:
    SUMMARY OF PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. To receive the reward you must: 1) be a U.K. resident at least 18 years of age or older; 2) register with valid information; 3) complete the following reward offers: 2 Silver offers, 2 Gold offers, and 2 Platinum offers (Available reward offers will vary.

    Genuine prizes don't usually come with conditions attached except maybe agreeing to some publicity.
