All I get since spinning the wheel is lots of spam emails from 'casinos' and others inviting me more free spins.
Same experience when I used the awful con company Klarna.
Was previously with Bulb no problems. Have been transferred to Octopus through no choice of my own and obviously they have sold my details onto third parties. NOT impressed with Octopus at all.0 -

I highly doubt it was Octopus who sold your details on. Back on topic I actually won £1 on the spinning wheel the other month, so it does happen!

Seems like your browser might have been exploited, never heard of this happening and hasnt happened to me, I spin it 4 times every month.

When did the spam start and when did you start doing the octopus spins? so you have backed it up, but I not heard you mention it before.

These sound like two unrelated issues.misspretenderboat said:All I get since spinning the wheel is lots of spam emails from 'casinos' and others inviting me more free spins.

Prompted by the reappearance of this thread, I found I had 1 unused spin left for April and won my first ever £1 whan I tried it.

I won £1 in March. Having been on a smart meter with Octopus for nearly 4 years and therefore had quite a few spins, I was excited just by the concept of a win, so did screen shot it. No issues with the credit appearing.4.3kW PV, 3.6kW inverter. Octopus Agile import, gas Tracker. Zoe. Ripple x 3. Cheshire1

I've been with Octopus around 5 years now and have won £1 twice and £5 once.
Never had any related spam emails or advertising as a result. This will just be a coincidence and almost always due to being careless with your own email address and other personal data.2
