  • Hi marieukxx - no not closing the account,their response was - Thank you for completing our Mail Pin Verification process. Your account is completely verified and you will no longer encounter this issue in the future.

    Also, your account has been flagged for exploiting our search engine through the use of a bot/auto-refresher. Your account has also been flagged for exploiting SBTV through automatically refreshing videos and/or using a bot. Please refrain from using such unauthorized viewing methods to avoid a deactivation and keep your account in good standing.

    I haven't heard of a bot, but I do go through videos one by one and check and once they are credited on the meter i click to the next one - is that what you do? I just was a little confused as to why they would flag it - I wasn't sure I was doing anything wrong as someone on here before said you didn't have to watch the video till the end?

    I do that with the vids and click the next soon as it's credited. I do take a break from it throughout the day and have only ever hit the max for the day twice despite trying for hours!

    With the search if you search for random things then don't click on a few of the serach reults pages then they think you're just searching for swagbucks. They want you to do genuine searches.

    They warned you because they'd been in contact with you about your registration, probably a few of us have been flagged but don't know anything about it I would have thought.

  • So I can move onto the next video as soon as it credits in the swagbucks meter? I thought that's what they were saying I couldn't do. Oh dear poor you not maxing out, I haven't maxed out either on it, been a member since April. I think it is a good site and have good earnings from it, I haven't tried the tasks though, they look more effort than they are worth.

    Aaaa so you think because I'd been in contact they mentioned the flag as well, when generically they probably wouldn't of flagged it to me. Probably loads of people do the above lol. Thank you for your help. Do you have any tips for getting more SB's?

    Tbh I don't know if it's allowed because they haven't said anything to me but I do click the next vid as soon as it credits most times. Others here do too. I think they just mentioned it because you were in contact about your account. I haven't seen anything about the videos in the do's and don't section but I have about searches. The do state that we must do genuine searches.

    I do the same as everyone here, surveys, vids, games. I only do the same tasks each time and they're dead easy. The 4 swagbucks and 10 swagbucks tasks. They're so simple.

  • Okay, thanks - you are of the same view as me, I have asked them for clarification in my email but I have so far been waiting 4 days.

    I've just done a task looking for "online casino" and that was pretty easy.

    Thank you! You've really been helpful, happy swaggering!

    Just got 70% the way through a beer survey to be told I don't qualify?

    I did that one yesterday, got halfway through rating beers and it booted me!

    I'm now searching for this rice video, I'm presuming it's ok to watch the supersonic ads as often as they appear on the front page as well as through their offer wall?

    Just managed to get the target after completing a daily survey which has also led to me joining a juicy panel, looks like this one might be a good little earner too if they have regular projects to take part in.

    I'm sure you will be fine giggles. How is the swagging going?

    I'm at 20/100 But my graduation is tomorrow so I might not get to get my swag on tomorrow. Going to lose the month bonus!
