    Like several other people, I've not had nCrave for weeks. Watch is also unavailable (although ToolbarTV works), nGage didn't ever work when that was around, and now Games aren't working. I messaged Support and got this back.
    This may be due to our use of an industry-standard third-party traffic verification service. We rely on this service, which is required by our advertisers, to monitor activity.

    What they are saying is that the UK doesn't count to their advertisers so we get screened out.

    Looks like nothing could be done then - response from July 2015

    We understand that some members have had limited or no access to engage in video viewing on Swagbucks or Encrave sites in recent days. This is due to our use of an industry-standard third-party traffic verification service, which apparently may be having some issues with their systems incorrectly blocking certain users from this activity.
    Please be assured that we would like to resolve this issue ASAP and are reaching out to the traffic verification service to see if anything can be done to alleviate this problem for the affected members. As we make progress on this issue, we will try to keep you informed, and apologize for any inconvenience some members may be experiencing from this technical issue in the meantime

    I found an easy offer and it rewards nicely, don't miss out.

    Discover --> Kiwi Wall --> Marbles | Check Eligibility! | CPL | UK --> 272 SB.

    I just submitted the application from my PC and got the 272 SB. Not sure if this one works on mobile device so if you can use PC my suggestion is to use your PC with this one.

    I did this today, and being new to Swagbucks, I didn't realise where to stop and went a stage too far. I've just been credited with 1698 extra SB. Ooops. Certainly don't intend to apply for random credit cards again!

    Brilliant! That is the first time since I joined SB that I've been able to play a game on Chrome! :D

    ok I think its almost time to give up on Swagbucks.

    As of yesterday now Chrome crashes shortly after putting on anything to do with Swagbucks - never used to be a problem. Crash is so bad that you can't even open Chrome again after you've forced ended the task - you have to totally reboot.

    Tried it on 3 different laptops with same result.

    I guess I could still run the apps each day (although they take around 7 hours now to run all 6 through to get 60 SB - god knows what the cost to my iphone battery is on that!)

    as people have mentioned , little to no encrave , the games seem to have stopped working on chrome unless you mess around with the size of the window etc (again, never used to be a problem)

    They've obviously added some weird code (probably tracking activity / to do with advertising) behind the scenes and it does not agree with my windows 10/chrome set up.(Unless the fault is with windows or chrome... which you would think would impact nearly everyone)

    I've tried firefox but after a while it just stops working as if the internet is not working.and the page won't load up.

    Think I'll just get enough (another 40SB) for my last £10 paypal then just give it a rest for a while - I'll keep an eye on the forum to see if things improve - maybe get back into it but if history is any judge - it just gets worse and more devalued as time goes on.

    Good luck those who power through it :-)

    Now what to do with all these extra hours I will get back in my day ? ! :T

    Marbles offer back on Kiwi wall, go quickly as it has daily limit. (Resets at some point before 8 am, so possibly worth checking if you are up after midnight) Complete genuine info until you get to the screen that says you qualify or not. (Do NOT complete next screen which asks for bank info.) Credited on 'not' for my partner. Takes a while to show.
