    On Sunday 29th October 2023 I spun the wheel and it stopped on £512, I emailed octopus to ask when I get this, it’s now Wednesday evening and not a word from them. I took a screen shot and included it in the email. Sounds to me like this is just a marketing con!!
    Did you get the screen that says "You won £x - this never happens!". If not, I don't think you won anything.

    Should be instant credit to your account, unless they treat £512 different to £1 wins.

    Congratulations on your win!
    Since signing up to Octoplus, my Wheel of Fortune now pays out in Octopoints - and every spin is a winner!
    I've won 8 Octopoints four times 🤣

    2500 points worth about £3.

    I did 4 spins with 8 points on each spin, so each spin gave me about 1p?

    So looks like 8000 points is replacement for £1 as £10, 800000, is £1000, I wish I screen grabbed to see if there is a £512 equivalent.

    I seemed to be luckier than most on the standard wheel of fortune, hope this move to octoplus doesnt bog me down to just 8 point wins. O_o

    Actually for anyone MSE that's still a win

    No, I can’t. You have to have a Smart Meter that is Smart for that. I tried.

    They did say more and bigger prizes for Octoplus.

    Well, 24p a year guaranteed with the chance of higher wins.  Not amazing but it will add up and would be silly to turn down free cash for the sake of, what, 10 seconds of my life?  About the same as bending down to pick up a coin I saw on the street, but with the chance that the coin turns out to be a note of higher value :lol:

    Yeah sorry, dont know how I missed a zero on that.  Now edit your reply so I can edit my post and no one knows. :)

    If there is no £1 equivalent I want the old wheel back, as I dont think £10 is hitting as often as £1 did.

    I was probably winning in excess of £10 a year on my win rate on old wheel, hope this new one is as good.
