    This is in effect a virtual online lottery gaming machine - so all of the regulations still apply
    Such as 2005 Gaming act - which clearly states that a list of winners names should be available on request.
    I will request a list of winners names and will let this forum know the stats.

    Considering no-one is paying anything per spin, does it really class as that, though?
    It's not lottery / gaming / gambling if you're not having to stump up anything to play.

    No licence required for a game where all entries are free, so I doubt if that applies. Quite why you think this is a con is a mystery to me.

    There is a old adage "you don't get something for nothing"......

    The 'quid pro quo' here is just that Octopus get a meter reading and the customer gets a small chance to win something.
    Gamification is a useful tool to offer positive encouragement to customers for minimal cost.
