    Encrave is odd!

    When I'm at home I never see anything there. When I am at work (and its possible the servers are routed through Europe or the US) I see a few things to click on.

    Once inside they get you to watch , say 5 videos, and you have to wait for a green tick on each one before moving to the next ior you get a message up telling you to calm down and stop rushing!)

    I also had one where it asks you to flick through photos - for example "30 kids birthday cakes to make them squeal" - very good some were!) and you get 1 SB at the end. This is the only one I actually got to work (via internet explorer, chrome did not work at all)

    When I did the videos one it keeps coming up with 'browser mismatch' whether I use chrome or the (old) internet explorer version we have at work.

    The problem is when I get home and have bang up to date 64 bit chrome etc none of these ever show up at all.

    From all accounts the US have loads to do on encrave - just a shame we don't here...

    If your works is using a Proxy server, then you might very well get access to the US Swagbucks site. However, you risk your account being banned because proxy server use is not allowed.

    Has anyone tried the Ladbrokes UK Bingo on Trial Pay? I have zero interest in bingo but you get just over £15 of points for depositing £10, and with the sale I suppose its worth even more!

    I did the William Hill casino one, had to put in a ticket to get my points but I was awarded them eventually. Obviously its only a good idea because I have no interest in gambling so there is no chance of me depositing more/getting addicted.

    I always do these offers for the bingo/gambling sites as they usually give more back than you deposit.
    I have £10 sitting in a few sites here and there and haven't yet touched them but there is always the possibility that I would win too.

    Never had any trouble being paid the Swagbucks so definitely worth it so long as you are a first time user.

    Hi folks, can any of you tell me whether it is alright to be signed in to Swagbucks on two different devices at the same time. I have just bought a laptop and I was thinking I could have SBTV running on it, whilst doing other swagbucks stuff on another computer at the same time.

    I searched on Swagbucks, but all it says is not to use an "auto refresher" - I would not be doing that, and would be manually selecting the videos.

    Thanks for any advice.

    You don't need two devices to do that.
    You can run SBTV and do other things at the same time on the same device. Why waste two lots of electricity?

    Open the SBTV floating window, which you can then keep an eye on whilst doing other things, such as surveys, searches etc etc
    You can even go to other websites and still watch SBTV.

    Hi. This is what I do at the moment, but I have the sound turned down on the videos, as hearing the same advert over and over can get on the nerves. Sometimes the video itself is silent, or can be silencenced, but that ads can't. This means that if I am playing any other video on another page where I need the volume, I also get the SBTV sound at the same time - hence the reason to use two devices at the same time. Thanks anyway.

    Thanks rychp - I didn't think about the ip address - good call.

    And yes, that survey, should have got much more than 70 swagbucks for that - I wonder if the survey creaters ever take their own surveys.

    I get around the sound problem by using chrome for SB and a different browser for everything else. That way (using volume mixer) I can put chrome on silent but have the other browser playing sound as normal. HTH.

  • *sigh* over twenty minutes spent on a dashboard survey on charities. only to get to a blank screen and no way of moving forward :(

    Another ticket put in....

    When that happens to me I refresh (f5) the screen and it usually kickstarts it again, if you havent already tried it then see if it works next time one gets stuck
