    Hmmm...I am now convinced about the casino tasks.

    Tonight I put 08001234567 for the phone numbers (wrong) and it was accepted. On two of them for "name the featured game" I just typed BIG BANANA and it was accepted. As long as you click on the link, you can answer anything it seems. I feel robbed for all the nights I spent looking for info, cutting, pasting etc LOL

    On the casino tasks, when it asks if any games are 'displayed, named or listed' on the home page I never know whether to say 'no' if it just shows the type of games (eg. roulette, poker, slots)' Some of the home pages do actually give a picture of the games and name them which is OK, but there are one or two which just show the four types of games. I have been putting 'no' for those, and it has accepted, but I'm not sure if it's right or wrong :think:

    Usually for the games, when I counted them, there would be either none or four. Tonight I was putting 7 and 3. Didn't seem to matter.

    I am not sure about the casino tasks, but they do sometimes have 'test' tasks and if you input the incorrect information they don't credit you. I'm not sure why they are asking for phone numbers etc - it may be so that you have to click on more pages to increase the ranking of the site or it may make it seem more legitimate to Google. It could be that it is to try to give more people a chance of getting the tasks because it takes everyone longer to do. It just seems a bit weird that it should change all of a sudden

    Not sure if other people have it but I've just had an offer on Gillette Football Club. It's popped up on my home page but I'm guessing it's on the special offers page too. Really easy 29sb for registering (name, email & DOB) and credited straight away

    I had that but clicked off it as I was in a bad mood with all these bad surveys lol and didn't want to do an offer, but just went to the wall and it was there, but for 27sb, credited anyway and on 204/110. Gonna try for 220 and then call it a night.

    I counted 5 on one of the sites, another has 1 showing in the top right, and one had 3. It's like a lot of the tasks, though, the instructions they give are open to interpretation

    Somebody made a good post that might explain the change in the tasks. I will see if I can find it.

    I did the Gillette offer the other day on another wall for something like 45sb. I may try it tomorrow if I'm struggling, but I don't know if it will credit again.

    I think we are all getting a bit fed up with the surveys, Cath. I could understand it if there were not many surveys around because it all depends on how many surveys the individual companies are able to offer, but what I don't understand is why so many people are having problems

    The casino tasks that ask you to search for a term and click on a site is probably against Googles T&Cs as this task is actually a way for the casinos to rank higher in a Google search for particular keywords - a bit naughty really!


    ^^^This is the post I was thinking about. If it is against the rules (don't know if it is) for the casinos to ask us to just look for them and click, then that might be naughty. By asking us to go there and report back with information, it would get around the Google rules. I dunno. It is way past my bedtime.

    309/110 today :) Night all.
