    Whilst I'm not into gambling at all, this offer strikes me as a potential deal that I cannot lose out on. Spend £30 gambling to be credited 5000SB. If I redeem that amount of SB, I'd at least get my money back via either PayPal or MasterCard vouchers. Payout seems to be within 48 hours too. What am I not taking into account? That they might not honour the offer?
    NB: The header banner I clicked on via SB front page to get the offer on screen actually said 'Spend £20' but it became 'Spend £30' on the offer page.
    These offers keep coming around you only get to do them once. Yes they might not pay, take screenshots at every stage, the offer on the offer wall, the conditions that need to be met, which offer wall and especially any records of deposit and spend. Read the conditions very carefully. £30 is a lot to lose, they often offer lower spends and higher payback. Check places like Quidco, they can offer the same for more.

    As thisone says, take care, when I did the same off a couple of years back the requirement was to only bet £10; therefore the downside was less severe. You also need immaculate self discipline; the aim is to get you into gambling! The risk is that you win initially and keep at it or chase the £30 if you lose - it's all about emotions. To do it you need to dip in gamble the £30, take any winnings and forget it. The reality is that the net worth of the offer is only £6 (assuming there are no winnings), i.e. you are spending £30 and 5000 SB is worth £36 in Amazon vouchers. It's not worth it really, particularly as you'll be taking £30 out of your bank account and won't get it back in cash and there will be a delay in getting the reward. I wouldn't touch this one had I not already done it when it was better value.

    Today's To Do List bonuses are:-

    Step 1 - 4SB
    Step 2 - 5SB

    Although I've managed to get to step 2, I'm still miles off my first target of 105!
  • Those gambling website offers just seem like a headache to me. It's enticing, but all the chasing up and collecting of screenshots and proof you have to do, I'm happy to let those offers pass me by than deal with the stress and anxiety of dealing with paypal disputes and chasing up SB support tickets etc, etc. But each there own.

    The search wins when you can get them 4sb I wonder when they will start giving us 1sb search wins

    Very unlikely they will do that or even go back to the 3 SB as the minimum - instead they will just further reduce the potential for search wins, cutting both the number of wins and the amount of swagbucks that can be won.

    I averaged just over 25 SB a day before they cut the potential rewards and last year had 7 wins of 100SB (including 2 in one day).

    In the last 3 months my biggest win is 18 SB and my average per day is less than 7 SB
    Proportionally a far bigger cut than the one to the mobile apps just not as noticeable unless you keep track - from taking just over 50 days to earn a £10 Amazon voucher from search it is now 200.

    Swagbutton survey 5627899 for 50sb, on dolls, irrelevant whether you have an interest in dolls!

    Been missing in action for a while - new baby! Just getting back into swagbucks and quite a bit has changed. Of course, there's the downgrade of our earnings, but I've still been doing reasonably. Though notice there are now long lists of surveys, most of which I don't qualify for - so spending ages getting screened out.

    But what's a Swagbutton survey? Can't see where this would be on the button?

    Congratulations!

    Swagbutton surveys are shown by the same red dot that shows a swagcode, open the swagbutton popup and click on the notification bell and it will show a clickable notification just like a swagcode. Sofar I've only been disqualified from one I've taken and they're short and easy.
