    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, 800000, is £100, I wish I screen grabbed to see if there is a £512 equivalent.
    If 8 points to a penny, 8000 points is £10, 800k points is £1000.
    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:

    I was probably winning in excess of £10 a year on my win rate on old wheel, hope this new one is as good.
    !!!!  I've only won £2 in 3¾ years.

    I have won 2 x £1 in consectutive weeks and nothing else since I joined.
     I thought maybe  they were giving me a pat on the back for having £700 credit as they are making more than that out of me at 5.2% intestest rate they are getting a lot more than that in the 14 months I ve been with Octopus which is £3 a month before tax on £700.
    Think I will go on a variable direct debit !

    More fool you leaving the interest to Octopus not really money saving...definitely good variable direct debit plan👍
  • I've won £20 once. Not sure how the points translate these days though.

    I won a quid, quite soon after joining Octopus. At least you win a penny (8 Octopoints) every spin, now.

    You win every spin if you are signed up for Octopoints.

    I won a quid on my very first spin but buggerall since, Octopoints excepted. Two years with Octopus in April, so still time for a winning streak!
