    Think I have made about 3p from this, and given I dont like the new wheel of fortune, I will probably leave octoplus soon, isnt for me, but respect it can be nice for others.
    Why leave? A few pennies is better in your bank account than theirs. 

    Octo-aid tells me we only gained 211 points on Friday which is poor (usually 1000+) so I’m not sure what went wrong there - perhaps I’ve been cooking later more recently - I must make more effort to cook between 5 and 6.30.

    Because the standard wheel of fortune was more profitable, it has a higher win rate for the £1 vs the 800 points on the new wheel.

    However I did win 800 points finally this month, so its got a reprieve.

    Most saving sessions give me about 20-100 points.  The bulk of the points came from when they give bonuses for taking part in successive sessions, and from my single 800 points wheel of fortune win.
    Obviously that's your opinion and not fact just based on your previous good luck?

    Usually if I dont quote a source or say otherwise, treat my posts as opinion, so yes.
    I think logically the assured 8 points win has to be funded from somewhere, likewise the free gregs stuff.  So my opinion is formed via combination of they decided to spend the giveaway fund differently on octoplus and that yes I noticed a very sharp change in fortunes.

    Their bid was rejected. They must be doing it themselves again.

    Received my 100 = only one I expect - if this is your second or more session in a row you get 100 bonus octopoints for just opting in and 8 more chances to win - wouldn't mind if I was wrong and they did pay 100 each time but I doubt it.
    Finally got 100 points 5 March and 100 points 11 March.
    What I had been expecting for two sessions. 
    Didn't opt in last time, so streak starting from scratch today no bonus currently due for me.

    Been you’ve been out all day. Just gone about 20 mins ago & tried to opt in. Can’t get into app keep getting message ‘you appear to have lost internet connection’ I haven’t! Or via Octopus web log in.

    Tried opting in to todays a few times now but no joy.

    They really need to sort out their backend. Shouldn't be too difficult to scale up capacity in response to demand.
