Daily pounds email........

Hi, I can't see this being right but thought there will be someone on this board to confirm it for me.

I have just recieved an email from daily pounds saying I am this weeks winner of £500.

Has anyone heard of this happening before - I did register with daily ponds back in summer last year but not sure if this email is a scam.

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I got the same email aswell. x
  • Hi Guys, thanks for bringing our attention to this matter. The email you mentioned was an advert we sent out on behalf of on of our Casino partners. The opportunity to play with £500 of their money was in fact genuine. However because the email was titled 'You have won £500' several of our members believed the email had come directly from ourselves. We did apologise to any of our members who complained for any confusion. At Dailypounds.com we give away hundreds of pounds every week to 25,000 members all for free. We make our money from Affiliate advertising.

  • So, what's going on with dailypounds.com these days ?
    There doesn't seem to have been a draw since the 5th September.
    No information at all on their website, and it's not clear whether the 'contact' form is actually doing anything.
    Gus.

    I have seen this mentioned somewhere on another thread, no results for weeks and prizes requested several months ago have still not been received.
    On their site they are showing a £10 winner for today, presumably that is just someone who is trying to redeem their points.

    Loopy seems to be very erratic these days as well although Banana and Kingo are still ok at the moment.
