  • You have to complete two of the offers yourself and have five reffered people to complete at least one offer.
    I reckon if you all join the gambling sites @ £10 each you could get the ipod for £70 minus whatever you win back gambling your £70.
    WHOOOOSHHHHHHHHH……..

    I think its kosher - they will be getting paid for 7 referrals.

    I was tempted to set up some spamgourmet emails to refer but I don't think its worth the hassle.

    Mind you if you don't mind applying for two credit cards (Accucard and More than) for yourself and do gameAccount for your 'friends' you'll get it for £50?

    Or get your whole family to apply to a credit card each?

    I bet they will get rejected!
  • doubt you'd aver see anything.

    **pyramid??**
    Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

    Pyramid scheme! ::)
  • Hi All,
    Read the terms and conditions relating to this, my understanding of this was, that they can change at anytime what they offer you as a "present" therefore all you will probably get is something like a free mobile phone which you have to pay a contract for.
    I cannot comment on this really as I have never had dealings with them, but PLEASE READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FIRST!!!!

    If this is anything like the states then it will work, if you don't mind spamming your all your friends and family, and opening them up to years and years of spam. ::)
  • Also if you look at the terms you have to refer 5 people who in term have to successfully complete two of the transaction each themselves. Started doing it. Actually thanks to them I made £12 on my initial £10 in one of the gambling sites. Withdrew the funds and gave up on the idea!

    As much as I hate giving Pyramid schemes any advertising by bumping this message. As it is effectively 12 applications that are required surely you'd be better off just joining the sites yourself as the gambling sites seem to offer between £20 and £30 cashback on somewhere like Greasypalm for each account opened. ???

    As a 'reformed gambler' I wouldn't personally recommend joining on the basis of temptation. I just wanted to illustrate to anyone considering it to realise that you can do this yourself and cut out the middle man.

    Frankly, I am quite surprised at Greasypalm for advertising this type of scheme. :-/

    EDIT : On looking a bit more into detail, it seems that these sites say you must spend any initial deposit that may need to be made to open the account. This means that you only get theany winnings back free :-/
