Gambling deposits and trial offers

I've noticed on sites like Inbox Pounds, there are offers where you deposit £10 into a specific gambling site and get £12 or £15 back on your survey site balance.

Also there's the offers where you start a trial for a product and have to give your debit card details. You have to contact the said company and cancel before the trial is over or you'll be charged. You also get credited on whatever survey site it was offered on.

Has anyone tried these methods before? What site did you use and what specific offer did you try?

It seems a lot faster than surveys and should lead to faster payouts.

Maybe we could make a list of the good ones :beer:

    Do you have to wager the £10 though?

    The ones worth doing are usually listed in the threads for that GPT site. Some delay when you try to cancel and you end up been charged.

    Most are better done via one of the cashback sites, as they pay much more although payment does take longer.

    With regards to the 'trial' sites I would strongly urge people to be very very careful. The reason they want your debit card is so that they can take more payments as cancelling will be nigh on impossible. Just have a look at the various threads on these sites on the warnings board, people are losing a great deal of money as many of these sites are borderline scams.

  • I think I'll start with the Inbox Pounds Hayu 30 day free trial for £1 credit. I googled 'free trial scam hayu' and didn't find anything. I skimmed through the terms and conditions and didn't find anything odd.

    I'll let you all know if/when I get credited and how the cancellation went.

    To be honest i tend to look at what is on offer and then go over to TopCashBack or Quidco where the offers are usually available for a lot more money.

    Also, I don't do an offer just for cash back, as it is never guaranteed.

    If you had followed the advice posted above by several members you could have got a min of £7-50p via some of the cashback sites, and upto £7-50 for the hayu offer.

    there is a cashback tool on here that shows what cashback site pays what @ http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/cashback-sites-comparison/

    'Get paid to' GPT sites never pay as much as they have thoer share to take, and the offerwall takes it's share as well. The amount that different GPT sites pay for the same offer varies vastly as well.

    If you are only going to list offers for inbox pounds site, then you would do better to post them in the inbox pounds thread.
  • Thanks fragmented. I've not slept and really wanted to clear the remaining minimum to cash out with Inbox Pounds. The surveys and screen-outs are tedious.

    I've signed up for a tenners worth of trials there so that might get the ball rolling.

    I'll update with any credits or cancellation problems.

    I once signed up with £10, got £12 into my inbox account, then intended to waste the £10 on £1 spins on a game, then after 2 spins I wont £38, so I withdrew that. winner!
