    It's not nothing, it's 1p a month (8 points). Extra 1p if you have a smart meter too

    What daily wheel?
    It comes up on the website whenever I submit a reading for gas or electricity. Strangely it sometimes blocks me and says I have already played it that month (even though I haven't). 
    Oh the monthly wheel.

    I won 2x £1 on the normal wheel, then 1p (8 points) for each spin since it became Octoplus.

    I got a pound, once, but it has just been 1p (8 Octos) every time under the new regime.

    Got £1 once. Been a customer for two years and submit readings monthly.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    I was with Octopus for around 5 months just over three years ago and won £1 back then. Got the 8 points for both spins since rejoining them last week.

    8 Octopoints every time on the app. 
    Sometimes it lets me spin more than once per fuel😊

    Everytime I log into the app, I spin that daily wheel. Probably done it a 100 times and never won anything. I wondered if anyone else has?
    Its a monthly wheel , not a daily wheel .Once I ve done my 2 spins thats it for the month . since being an Octopus customer I ve won 4 x£1 and since smart meters fitted instead of usually winning £0 ,I now always get 8 octopoints which is £0.1 p

    I have only ever had eight points per spin (two a month), however someone I work with did win 8,000 points last summer and my mum has won 800 points twice.
