    In case this helps anyone - I just did the Radium One offer for 29SW - free dog bag holder or cat toy and the SW came through almost immediately.

    Thanks for that Paul, I had been thinking the same thing, as some had been talking about running Encrave, SBTV and Radio Loyalty all at the same time. Makes sense you can't be watching/listening to them all, which is, of course, the idea!

    If you think about what Encrave and SBTV are, who is going to actually sit and watch those videos over and over and over and over and over multiple, oh so many 100's of times anyway?

    They don't change for weeks. Swagbucks don't care if people actually sit and watch the same videos day in, day out. They only care that it 'registers' that people are watching them because they are paid for that.

    Technically, the individual companies who supply the videos, radio, adverts etc 'might' have something to say if they knew people were 'trying' to watch several videos at the same time but they would have no way of knowing if you did, unless Swagbucks told them.
    Same with Radio. They have no way of knowing if someone is running something else too unless Swagbucks tells them.
    And Swagbucks isn't going to do that.

    Take a peek at what the Americans do and what they can run at the same time, especially when it is a Team Challenge.

    Thank you - in view of what Swagbucks advised UK members two days ago, I have asked for absolute clarification on this point from them as it appears that what you have been advised and what Swagbucks are advising now is totally different

    It's not my advice.

    It was the advice given to me by Swagbucks when I enquired about it as Nick didn't seem to know one way or the other.

    If the suggestion you are making were correct, that Swagbucks have said you must watch the videos, then no-one could do anything else whilst the videos were playing.
    No surveys, no games, no offers, no searches, nothing and anyone who did anything else would be banned.

    Do you not do anything else whilst Encrave is playing or SBTV?

    Just to add, it is possible and allowed for the American users to use their PC/Laptop to run SBTV/Encrave whilst using the App to run Entertainow.

    This is how they manage to get 1000+ points a day in challenges. We would all have 200 points a day if we could only do one thing at a time.

    Actually, no I don't do anything else. If encrave is playing or I am using SBTV then I just run those. It seems to be that Nick is saying one thing whilst Swagbucks support are saying something differently which is why I have asked for clarification. Swagbucks are not renowned for their communication techniques and something that could have been perfectly in order 6 months ago could have since changed so I always feel that it is preferable to have things in writing, so to speak
