Anyone heard of "The Insiders"?

Hi all.


One of the sites I visit on my daily comp rounds is http://freepostcodelottery.com/ (found it from here in the first place; seems to be well known here already).


They send out a daily email with links to their various winning postcodes and occasional third party marketing stuff. I've not followed any of the third party stuff to date, but the one today caught my attention.


The link is for "The Insiders" (https://www.theinsiders.eu/home/welkom/14/) which claims to be a product testing site. Since I started comping, I've seen plenty of links to very dodgy "product testing" sites. This one doesn't look as obviously scammy at first like a lot of them, but I'm definitely not going to sign up without getting some kind of feedback first.


So has anyone else here heard of them? Tried them? Had any good/bad experiences?


Thanks!

    Probably ok if it's in the e-mail but FPL do not directly control the ads that appear on the site

    I've tested a dehumidifier last year with the Insiders, it is legit. This year there's only been 2 products to test and for both you had to pay a deposit just in case you didn't return the product after testing. I didn't bother with these ones.
  • Thanks for the reply. :). I might follow up and have a better look then.
