The deal looks to be a no brainer - i.e. spend £10 and get over £20 worth of SBs. :beer:

Has anybody completed it? What are the pitfalls?

I can think of a couple:

1. Don't pay the £10 with a credit card or Paypal as it will trigger an immediate interest charge because its a gambling site.
2. There's a risk of getting addicted to betting - which is the aim of the advertiser (the registration comes with 200 free spins which can't be withdrawn without gambling a fortune on to of the £10.

Are there any other, has anybody completed and received the credit, I am warey:question:

I already have a Gala account so can't do this but there's always far better rates on Quidco for signing up to Gala. Atm they have deposit £5 and get £50 cashback!!

I'm guessing referrals can't be posted here so this is the generic link: https://www.quidco.com/gala-bingo/?st=gala&tr=1777&fn=home&fr=multiple&si=33c2b525-cfc9-45a0-8268-acd8e6bd5224&sv=4-MS&ucb=19dd363cf4e61c760ee0afdb6bc759c78

If you don't already have Quidco it may be worth signing up through a referral link or one of their new customer sign up offers (at the minute they have a get £15 cashback on Just Eat orders) - https://www.quidco.com/incentives-just-eat-pay-day/? (not a referral link just their sign up page)

I bit the bullet and tried it - lodged the £10, won £1.25 (on Rainbow Riches) and withdrew, meaning an immediate net loss of £8.75 and my risk if SB do not honour. I m now awaiting the 3000 SB credit.

I forfeited the 200 free spins, by withdrawing, a win would have triggered the 10 x £win wagering requirement in withdrawing the balance. Would have required massive discipline in the case of a substantial'sh win with the free spins. The play on emotions and human behavior, to counter you need to recognise the psychological game! It's best not to enter the game at all to remove the risk. I also set a daily £10 wagering limit, to avoid the temptation to chase the £10 initial stake.

I will update here on the experience.

Redeeming a swag code ... that square still hasn't lit for me. When I submit it, it's the difference between 5 points for one row and 50 points for a X - so its a bit annoying, as these things go. I'll give it a go again before I submit. Anybody else have problems?

That one's lit for me. I'm having trouble with the profile picture square. I've changed my photo and verified it but it only coloured in the swag name square. I changed it back again and still nothing.

I still can't get a gold survey so that hasn't coloured in for me either. Looks like I'm only going to be able to get 5 points this time. Normally I get the X and get 50. This swago has been a total shambles and they should be embarrassed about it.

Thanks you just beat me to it though, I don't have a Quidco account and could have signed up to access the £50 offer. I'll be OK with the SB if it pays though - will net £13.30 if it works out as it should.

Thanks. Where does it say this? I can only see a single line describing the offer...?

It says in the "small print" under the Deal of the Day offer:

Quidco costs nothing to join and even if you lost the full £5 stake you would have a net gain of £45 cash and even more if you then redeemed through one of the offers (4% bonus with Argos vouchers, 13% with debenhams and 8% with many others).

Re Gala offer
If you are already a member of Coral or Labrokes then there is a chance that you will not be paid out on this offer
