Got to be innit to win it, with odds of 45,057,474 to 1, you'll likely need to be innit a long long long long long long time. Of course some people have won and some people have also been to the Moon, not many mind. In 2014 after 20 years of the lottery it had only created 3,600 millionaires, more than have been to the Moon granted, with a population of 3,600 Congresbury (no I've never heard of it either) is a small village somewhere near Bristol. So you could fit all the millionaire winners in that village, there could well be some very nice tractors in that village, I'll be sure to visit when I win the lottery. Sorry Congresbury I guess you won't be seeing me or any of us very soon.

Those are some nasty nasty stats. I'd spend the money on some anti depressants, I sure need some after this post.

Thanks. It's that sort of spending that contributes to such a successful Olympics!

Voted hot. Deposited £10, paid for a £10 scratch card, won £25, got another, won £20, got another, won another £20. Withdrew £45.

So if cashback tracks I should be £62 up. Not bad for 10 mins effort.

Thanks OP.

medals.

What about a 'new' customer with a different email address?

I honestly dont know, would think it would be ok with a different card and email maybe.

wont work - checks electoral roll & "knows" if you've already reg.

Is there a credit check involved?

Done with Mrs card, only gave me £15 tho

​It does an "ID check" to confirm your over 16

scratch that, got another email. Thanks!

Seems to be deposit only? No need to spend? Can withdraw the cash after cashback tracker and get free £27…????

Yes it does check the electoral roll to ensure your age. I'm sceptical if that will be a by-check for unique customer though.

You DO need a new card that isn't already registered though.

Let's see if this truly tracks without spend. Suggests 24 hours to confirm track (but not cash back)...

Hot! £15 for me too.

£10 deposit + sign up for DD for Saturdays draw + cancel DD before draw = ???? PROFIT

The email address you register with national lottery must match your topcashback email address for cashback.

Where does it say that?

Shows £30 pending in both me and my wife's account :confused: I wonder if it will go through...

If you look at the information tab, there are a lot of terms and conditions, one of which states that you have to use the £10 deposited. It also says, rather confusingly and contradictory, that the cashback is £11 rather than £27??

How long does it take to track?

Got to be innit to win it, with odds of 45,057,474 to 1, you'll likely need to be innit a long long long long long long time. Of course some people have won and some people have also been to the Moon, not many mind.

Sorry Congresbury I guess you won't be seeing me or any of us very soon.

Those are some nasty nasty stats. I'd spend the money on some anti depressants, I sure need some after this post.

Why not just deposit £10, blow it and take your £27? Expect to lose and see it as £17 profit. I did a similar thing with TCB for Ladbrokes - deposited £10, bet it on the golf (and lost), banked £30 cashback. So long as you've some basic willpower and won't gamble further on these sites it's a miniscule amount of work for a reasonable return.

seeing it says avg payment is around 17 weeks, but reviews say different.
some saying no payment at all, some saying payment within 2 weeks.

So this is essentially, top up £10 and receive £27 cashback?? 5 lotteries + £17 for free??

As per the deal you are right

Can't you just withdraw your £10 after depositing it?

The odds are even worse now on the National Lottery. I think it's something like 95 million to one. I do play though. That £2 ticket gives me a reason to dream - and go check out the houses on rightmove. I bought seven tickets last week and won on three lines. 2 numbers twice and 4 on the other. Not sure what the odds are (a million to one?) and won £93.10 :disappointed: Still, my friend's uncle won £22 million back in the day.

When I win, I'll buy you the top deal of the day you miserable git :stuck_out_tongue:

It's not possible to create an account right now
We'll get things up and running again as soon as we can, so please do try again later. Sorry for any inconvenience.

In the terms and conditions it states this "Recurrences on the amount of purchases that can be made while earning cashback may be limited." but when the cashback is declined and you submit a missing cashback claim it then states the email addresses must match. Now you've made me think about it I'm going to challenge them as it is a bit misleading.

Lottery tickets = gold medal's :stuck_out_tongue:

TCB has confirmed the £15 after just deposit (no spend). TCB still showing pending on another £15 which is likely the spend??

Why is England football team still so crap - millions of wasted money spent on it,compared to the likes of say the Welsh FA who doesn't get half has much.:neutral_face:

Mine is the same - I am confused

medals.

Someone once told me the lottery jackpot odds are about the same as walking up to a stranger in the street and guessing their phone number correctly.

However, I've seen Derren Brown live so...fingers crossed.

​yours is 07756188612
how did I do, should I be playing the lottery tonight :stuck_out_tongue:

Loadsa money!!!

Do you need to click the link on topcashback then open an account or can you create the account first then go through TCB and deposit the money to play?

Thanks

just blown £10 on tonight's lottery....tcb has got nothing to say it's tracked.....annoying!

£4M jackpot scratchcard purchased (£10) - won jack-diddly-squat.

Will await £27 with baited breath - many thanks, OP.

Always go through the Cashback site first!

​spoke too soon.....£30 shows pending now.

Has anyone managed to create a second Lottery account to get this?

I created a National Lottery account years ago, but then never deposited any money, registered a credit card or placed a bet.

I wonder if I would be classed as an existing customer, and therefore ineligible?

Desk

Down

I did all the casinos about 18 months ago, made over £400 for about 2 hours work. Like you say, as long as you are willing to walk as soon as you've met the criteria you're onto a winner, I always played one extra hand than needed just to be sure and screenshotted everything for proof - needed it for 2 of them!

Got a TCB a/c I've never used, but got a NL a/c I've used a *lot* (maybe ten years?) and would love to know if I can sneak a few quid out of them somehow (revenge!)

Just signed up for this offer, Tracked at £15 as soon as I deposited £10 via lottery website, then as soon as I spent the £10, another £15 was added to my Tracked claims on Topcashback. 2x £15 is now showing.

Nice post many thanks

Don't forget that a part of your lottery money goes towards our athletes who have just given the country so much pleasure over the past two weeks. I play the lottery to invest in them, not in the expectation of winning anything.

Thanks for this.Tracked at £30.My husband plays hotpicks anyway,so money for nothing is always welcome.

£72 pending in my account now from this? 3x £15, 1x £27.

Seeing as cashback isn't guaranteed, shouldn't this be in misc?

:confused:

Not quite sure whats going on to be honest. was expecting it to show the £27. Might change from now until payment.

Just done it.

Tracked at £27 already. Have to wait 17 weeks though.

Anyone know if you can have 2 accounts per household? I.e. I already have a lottery account but my hubby doesn't (he's got his own topcashback account already)

Damn, I was going to give this a go as a pre-exisiting customer but apparently they only accept debit cards and I only have one. :-/

Do I need to set up direct debit?

Does anyone know if you have to spend the £10 to be able to receive the cash back or can you just save it in your national lottery account until you want to spend it?

on the verge of quitting the lottery ... Never agreed with the raffle being added for an extra quid and the addition of extra balls means there's less chance of winning more than a few pounds no matter how many you match unless its all 6

Duplicate account for me when trying to make a second one..

The thing that brought it home to me and why I don't bother with the lottery - A mathematican explained the odds as being the same as laying 2p coins side to side - over hundreds of miles - all the way from London to Manchester, and then being lucky enough to pick the right 2p (out of 45 million). But that was BEFORE camalot doubled the odds!

It's nothing but a charity donation which goes to subsidize opera for the rich, the 'arts', and very elite sportsmen and women (not us commonfolk). Only 1/12th of the funds raised goes to what you or I would regard as 'good causes'

I buy a lotto and euromillions each draw (i.e. four draws/week). It's a waste of money - now that Euromillions is going up to £2.50/week in Sep it'll cost me £468/year. The odds of winning are so low that I'd probably be better saving it and putting it towards a holiday or investing it in shares or a new business.

last time when they did £10 offer, it tracked and showed, and when nearly time to payable it went to 0.00, i put in a claim with Topcashback well **** off
response
National Lottery are now operating under a different affiliate network.

Unfortunately this network will not accept claims for transactions made under the different network and so it is essentially offering cashback as a new company.
I apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thanks. Just set up a lottery account, deposited £10 and £27 has tracked in tcb

Cashback may track at a lower rate but will become updated by the time the cashback is confirmed

an update on my tracked £27. another £15 got tracked. not sure why. Also haven't spent the deposited £10 cash.

I have £27.00 and then £15 and used the £10 yet on the site

I will setup an account for the wife tonight and see what happens.

Looks like mine hasn't tracked yet. A new customer should be someone who has signed up but never deposited a single penny

Can someone help with a tracking claim with topcashback

£27.00 "pending" through the topcashback website. Estimated time payable - 17 WEEKS. 17 WEEKS DELAY? And can you actually withdraw this to your bank account? or is it stuck on this 'topcashback' website only for spending via them?

Good staff

Still waiting on mine from almost a year ago. Not rejected because of already having an account or using another offer at the same time etc. They apparently cant find the account despite the fact I can log on to it and all the details match. I wouldn't have high hopes for your £27.

Mine tracked to only £15, anyone else get this?

Did you have to use a different email address?

Hmm
None of this is very clear

Have spent over £20,000 in past 20 years on lottery. Probably spend £50-60 a week now on scratchcards and lotto/euromillions. Only once won 4 numbers and three times had 3 numbers.

Bizarrely yesterday and three other occasions in past 20 years I have been one number away from every single number drawn 02,23,31,37,45, (04),(08) I got 01,22,33,39,46, (04),(07). I think my new tactic will be to buy the ticket and then amend all the numbers by an increment of 1.

In other words its impossible 99.99999% of us will ever win or even get 5 numbers!

Unable to register.. tried 2-3 times now... site is unstable.. pathetic.. give page like below

£15 cashback confirmed in TCB.
£15 Cashback pending in TCB.

Thanks OP for this deal. I did my sign up n deposit last night.

NVM

Nothing showing up in my tcb how long do you leave it before asking tcb to look in to it.

I did. I imagine so.

Cheers OP, gonna sign up and spend a tenner on the online scratch cards and pocket the rest. Do this all the time when they do the £50 back at online casinos when you deposit a tenner, worth it if you can walk away!

Not sure what source it uses (I'm on the electoral register) but it can't confirm I'm over 18...

TCB shows 15 quid and 27 quid as pending. I created only 1 account though using a different email address to TCB. Wait and watch I suppose.

REMEMBER ANYTHING OFFERED BY TOPCASHBACK IS NOT GUARANTEED, THEY TELL YOU NOT TO MAKE A PURCHASE BASED ON THEIR CASHBACK OFFER.

Cheers OP, done!

Topcashback is a scam and most of the time it doesn't track. Not worth it. Too much effort.

thanks

Shows £42.00 pending in mine. Anyone know how long it takes with pending?

The Lotto.

A filthy money generating machine that makes millions-and-millions of pounds every single week. And then deems it fair to hike up the price by 100% or more and tell you that you are better off, even though the odds of NOT winning the Jackpot have increased. People don’t play the Lotto for a £10, £15 or £20 win etc.

They are literally telling you you are a dumb *ss, living a “could be you” Tuesday to Saturday existence, in the vague hope that you ‘might’ get lucky.

They have rich people playing with your hopes and dreams. And these faces advertising the Lotto will earn more money from those adverts than most people would earn in a year.

This is OUR National Lottery. And if Branson or somebody else could run one side-by-side, then you’d never see a ticket price over ONE Pound. BECAUSE, they would still make millions-and-millions of cold hard cash every single week.

And that is the crime against citizens of this great nation. The UK’s National Lottery is a National Disgrace!!!

Free choice and ‘competition’!!!

Indeed, i have very rarely had a problem with something being tracked. As i said in the original post, its ideal if you do the lottery anyway but havent an account yet. We all know that cashback is not guaranteed, however i have well over a grand in cashback between TCB and Quidco any issues i have had have been resolved eventually.

Voted hot... Thank you. Done in hubbys name and his bank card as mine already registered.

How long does it take to track? I set up an account and deposited the £10 this AM but nothing yet on TCB. Do I need to spend the £10 before anything tracks?

Tracked and confirmed at £15 instead of £27. Bit disappointing. I've logged a claim, but it's 'on ice' until 31/8.

Thanks! Just signed up, added a tenner, spend it all on Monopoly Gold (Best odds out of all the games) and won £12 so £29 profit. Already tracked at £27 pending!

signed up but did not make a deposit...pending £27

Signed up and went to add £10, but my virus software blocked the payment so had to pause virus protection, sign back in and redeposit £10 not cashback not showing even though wives is.

Had to put in a cashback claim, but got to wait 7 days (even though I know it's not going to track).

Had the same thing via another site and Quidco a few weeks back but still got the money.

Still hot though.

I think you may have signed up to Direct Debit which only pays £15 TCB. The £27 is for a deposit and spend for 1 draw. My TCB is showing £27 pending.

​Here's hoping it'll be the Formula ome simulator from Costco :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not feeling oppressed or forced into anything! And never suggested I was!

What I did say, was that a company that generates millions-and-millions of pounds every week, has seen it fit to increase the price you pay by 100%.

No other company on planet earth would exist with this type of pricing structure if they had a similar rival. I.e. a competitor, competition! It’s what keeps the ‘market’ in-check. And our Government is fully invested in free trade/competition and making sure no one company has a monopoly on the market place. Except that is, when it comes to lining their own pockets.

If they introduced a National Rival. Then the price you are forced to pay if you choose to play, would be no greater than £1.

And in the spirit of HUKD. This would be a bargain compared to the current price structure.

There are shed loads of lotteries you can play. There's plenty of competition. National lottery is the most popular.

I did this last year when it was 10 for 10. it took well over 6 months for the cashback to come through.

The National Lottery: a tax on the stupid

How long should it take to track? I deposited £10 20mins ago.

I've spent through the £10 on scratchcards and have £6 winnings to show for it, can I withdraw this now without jeopardising the cashback?

Also, has it tracked twice for anyone else?

Super Hot!

deposit 10, got 27 then played 4m scratchcard and got 20! hahaha

It'd be great to win the lotto- think of all the things you could buy with the money. But I'm always prudent and diligent with my finances.
So... to be safe... I'd put it all on Leicester. Just so that I would be able to provide for my kids' futures. It pays to be frugal with money.

Nice £37.00 cashback pending.

Mine shows as 2x £15. One is confirmed and the other pending

It's that sort of spending that will make BREXIT a success and have the Germans, French and Italians looking on with envy at the economic prowess of the UK hotukdealers.

Does it show as tracked if you deposit but don't spend?

Won £10 from scratchcards (and various £5 wins but I put them back into the scratch card and lost - oh well).

Already £10 up and hopefully the cashback will go through alright! Cheers lads.

Hehe.... I m new in UK first i have to learn how to play lottery..... :sunglasses:. Heat added :smile:

Didn't track. Lame.

Not necessarily - may not get the cash back.

hello guys,

Can somebody help me.
I just registered and payed £10 pounds,but I haven't received the £27.

Anyone else having issues registering? Got all the way then said it couldn't find any trace of me, despite being on the electoral roll. Tried to change the format of my address and it showed an error and now won't let me login...

"Cashback is not available for Euromillions.".

So after depositing £10 I won't be able to use it for Euromillions?

I deposited £10 and I won £10 on the £10 scratch card :smile: so if cash back comes through great, that's £27 for 5 mins work

Just won £1000
On 4 million black £10 scratch card!!

And what does the success of the Olympics contribute to?

it's a bit counter-intuitive and doesnt make reference whether it applies to the £10 top up or the direct debit.

rather be safe than sorry anyways!

Sods law I'd win nowt on a £10 scratchcard. That guy who won a million first time was lying, clearly.

Best thing to do with the deposited money is hotpicks 1 in 10 chance of winning £6. Buy 5 different numbers 1 pick numbers of 2 different lotteries and have a good chance of getting £12 back off it.

got the tracked email just 2 minutes after i made the deposit. I did it in firefox on windows, hope it helps.

Just played the 4 million scratch card which was £10, 4 games to play, I won 1 of them, £10, then it doesn't tell me what to do once I have won. I go back to the main page and it says I have an unfinished game to play? Go back to it and the same game plays again sayin I have won? Anyone know what to do?

How long will it take to receive the £27 cashback?

my luck always cool !!

You're*

Hope the cashback tracks as my £10 deposit lasted all of 4 minutes!

you dont actually have to do a draw. you just have to spend it. i spent mine on scratchcards and its been confirmed at 15, so have lodged a claim as i havent signed up to a direct debit.

I cant seem to create an account and it says i have to register through post.

17 weeks for money to be payable? Jeeeeez

EDIT: just bought 2 scratch cards and won £10 :smiley: nothing lost :smiley:

I made a TopCashBack account, clicked the link, created a Lottery account and deposited £10. What happens now? How to do I get my £27?

lol i dont mind the 17 weeks wait but i did it for me and then my missus and neither have tracked as of yet i even deposited £10 twice when i did it to try and make sure but fingers crossed it will track but by the sounds of it, im guessing it tracks pretty promptly so if it was going to it would have by now. Obviously with my luck we won sod all on the scratch cards so im in the dog house....

Heat for the dreamers.

I have 27 and 15 £'s pending in my tcb. I confirmed with the customer care that I have not signed for direct debit. is there anyone else also whose tcb is showing both amounts?

Yup & no DD
I suspect they will decline the £15 entry

tracked £27 straight away. cheers op

Get another £15 by creating a topcashback account, then referring a friend and using that new account to register this cashback.

The original account gets £10 the new account gets a £5 M&S card

17 weeks? Ah well, free money is free money, thanks.

​

Hi guys, I wonder if someone would be kind enough to tell me how long this takes to track? Both me and my wife have opened a Topcashback account tonight and signed up to this and both deposited the £10 needed however there is no sign of it on Topcashback as of yet and it's been an hour??? Is it supposed to track instantly? If so I don't think it has worked. We haven't spent anything on the National Lottery site yet, just made the deposit. Could somebody please help. Thanks in advance. :wink:

t&c state "Cashback will be awarded to new customers who register for an online National Lottery account (at http://www.national-lottery.co.uk) and spend a minimum of £10 on any National Lottery game upon completion. This spend does not include direct debit payments"

I have a strong suspicion that the lottery giving £17.00 net to every customer won't be honoured..

Thanks OP

​my 27£'s is confirmed now in tcb, 15£'s is still showing pending. I am guessing 15£'s will be cancelled later.

It works for a "new" existing customer with a different name. I got married last year so opened my account in my new name but same address etc. My cashback has been confirmed today

Never tracked for me so I opened a claim that is now on ice for a week. sucks.

Tracked £27, love free money. Thanks OP

Tracked! Almost instantly! Thanks OP!

should it say "pending" straight after I deposit and spend the £10? Mine doesn't say anything. thanks

This sounds like one of those Top Cashback 'carrots' that will never be paid out due to one of a numerous range of poor excuses.

Probably very similar to many cashback offers for car or house insurance. Easy to offer it when there's no intention of paying out and nobody to champion the side of the customer.

Tried this through Topcashback site many moons ago and never tracked, think it was deposit a tenner and get yer tenner back, got diddly squat so defo won't be wasting my time trying again, best i get back to digging up the garden for the new mini Olympic swimming pool in the communal back court than filling online forms :smiley:

Not good. Put in £15 as I though about doing some goes on the lottery with a few scratch cards. I lost £11 on scratchcards, put £4 on lottery, nothing on TCB account.... So it seems I might be £15 lighter in the pocket with that unless it's just TCB being slow at putting it to pending on my account

Cold- put on 10£ and tracked only 10£ -not 27£...

My £27 has now moved from pending to confirmed :smiley:

£27 confirmed for me. Would normally put lottery on anyway so great deal if it comes off (which I have no reason to expect it won't)

Hasn't appeared in my TCB account at all after going through the site... Been 5 hours and nothing. Anyone else had this issue?

Same for me, although I had a TCB account. Hopefully it's just a delay...

Ok, for those who have the £27 cashback confirmed, how many have not spent the deposited £10?

Why does it take so long?

To be fair i'm not happy with this at all, it now seems that the reason it isn't tracked is because of having adblock installed. Even though nobody here mentioned adblock can affect it. It means now a wait for a week before reporting missing credit. Where by then, the exclusive offer would have expired and its unlikely I will get credited the full amount

It's new to me as I have never been a member of any cashback website. Although I have done signups through paid to read style websites with adblock enabled and they tracked. TCB are in the wrong I feel since when I joined, there was no pop up notification about adblock affecting tracking. Then today, when I visited the site and logged in, a message popped up saying they detected adblock is active and can affect tracking. Even though when I deposited yesterday, I saw the "we are tracking your visit" TCB page

What I meant was, has anyone got their £27 cashback confirmed without spending the £10 they deposited?

ah ok, yeah mine hasnt been confirmed for 2 days now. I've just played a £2 game for sat so lets see if it works.

What is someone isn't on the electoral roll? Hubby is American.. We'll try it later regardless!

I deposited £10, spent £10, won £27. Nothing tracked.

Maybe they're trying to get people to gamble.

So you spent some/all of the £10 deposit then?
I am looking for people that have not touched the £10 deposit and have got the £27 in topcashback 'confirmed' please? :smiley:

I registered for new topcashback and national lottery account, deposited via debit card and played £10 within 15 minutes. Below is topcashback info on new account ATM.

Up to £27.00 Cashback

All you have to do

1
Having clicked through from TopCashback, all you have to do is to go ahead straight away and purchase online from that merchant, exactly as you would do normally.
It is SO simple - that is all you need to do!

All you have to do

2
The merchant will, in due course, pay us commission (which we call 'cashback') – because they will have recorded that we provided them with your custom. (We are the ONLY cashback site to pass ALL of this back to you – right from your very first purchase. That is why we are the UK's Most Generous Cashback website).
3
The cashback you have earned can be seen within your TopCashback account.

Some simple points to note:

5
Very occasionally, cashback can fail to track. In this case, even after waiting for 7 – 14 days, you won't see a record of your cashback earnings within your TopCashback account.
6
If your cashback hasn't tracked correctly, please don't give up. Give us all the details we need by submitting a Missing Cashback Ticket. We can then chase up the missing cashback for you on your behalf. (Note that this can be a long process – but we will do what we can for you)

the lottery site now says "It's not possible to create an account right now

We'll get things up and running again as soon as we can, so please do try again later. Sorry for any inconvenience"

pain in the bum, i guess i have to delete cookies before trying again

Did some peoples TopCasback takes ages to track ????

Yeah spent it all :smiley:

Not too familiar with TCB more of a Quidco user. Deposited £10, played a scratch card game, won £20' withdrew but nothing is showing in my TCB account. Should I give it a bit longer before submitted a missing claim? It's been 24hrs. Thanks.

Is the minimum withdrawal amount £10?

If I deposit £10 on a card and buy one lottery ticket for £2 does this mean I cannot withdraw £8 back.

Instead am i allowed to deposit £12 and withdraw £10

Cheers

Still the same for me, but I feel its down to adblock being active. Sucks that I know it wont credit, but have to wait 7 days to report it not being credited. By then the offer would have expired and they could easily refuse to credit it.

I made sure mine was disabled, always do for cashback sites. But still didn't track...

Opened new account, deposited, £10, Mine didnt track, i did it on ipad, via google chrome. Dobi need ro spend £10?

Mine's not tracked, did through Firefox browser no Ad block or anything else enabled, totally cleaned my history cookies etc first, no Cash back, I smell a rat here.

mine didn't track either... very strange. I use Topcashback all the time and have only ever had this happen once before (with Vodafone), but I filled in TCB's missing claim form and they did reimburse me. Will do the same here...

Don't wait if not tracked, get on to Topcasback and submit Untracked Claim now.

and 15£ for direct debit

Oops?

mine seems to be doing overtime :wink:

Signed up yesterday evening, deposited £10. No cashback tracked as of yet. Paid for a £10 game and won £20. £10 up even if the cashback doesn't track :smiley:

No tracking here either, signed up 19 hours ago. They say it can take 24 hours, but I don't think it's ever going to turn up now. I didn't even win anything! Everything comes down to my last ticket for tonight :smirk:

has anyone who done it since yesterday tracked? Doesn't seem like it from the comments.

Not tracked for myself either and the tracking stats look very iffy to say the least!
I'm not too sure how they would defend this, as some of the reviews look bad.

I see approx 14 untracked posts and two tracked posts including yours, and unless you're playing the system, that doesn't exactly look like tracking is functioning as it should. I know there'll be a bias here towards failed tracking, but it gets a bit suspicious when you factor in the time period.

Can only see ones from earlier on in the week, last day or two has been all people saying it didn't.

Your screenshot has dates from earlier in the week so it doesn't count.

Think there may be problems with tracking for last day or two.

Yes, spent it as soon as I deposited it.

The National Lottery 24 Aug 2016 £0.00 £27.00 confirmed

I spent the 10 deposit on a draw tonight and the rest on scratchcards. Won the odd quid or two but threw it back into the different games. Can understand how some with low willpower can get easily drawn in. Will never do it again (unless there is another promotion) but certainly worth doing if the 27 quid is made payable.

Deposited £10
2 games of bejewelled blitz (£3 each) - won £6
1 game of sapphire sevens (£2) - nothing
1 more game of bejewelled blitz - won £3
Withdrew £8 funds

So as long as topcashback all goes OK, i will be £25 up

Also from tcb website t&c's
Please note: cashback can take up to 7 days to appear in your account.

I've never known it to take 7 days to track, not for anything.
If it doesn't track in by the next day, it probably won't track and you will need to put in a claim.
There is obviously an issue over the last few days according to recent posts on here, but Topcashback will probably deny any issues. :smirk:

If you login to your tcb then click on the link below you should see a list of clicks to merchant, with national lottery showing with date and time, it does on my tcb account.
https://www.topcashback.co.uk/account/earnings/clicks

Yes, but does anything ever actually appear after 24 hours? They're just covering themselves, like companies exaggerating delivery times when it's pretty obvious the parcel's lost.

It doesn't sound like the Lottery is a particularly awkward one either, since many people earlier in the week had it instantly.

Some do take longer than others to track, I've waited around a week before and was going to put a claim in the next day but it showed up

If a click shows and deposits match around the time of that click, there is no way they can refuse to pay people.

They are not losing money out of this deal, they are profiting. They probably get £30 per sign up and deposit done, then as it's an exclusive have decided to give as much of that as possible to members (£3 for themselves to keep £27 to members).

Even the national lottery are greedy. They might give a lot to charity but their main aim is to make as much profit as they can. They gave this offer to TCB for the same reason casino's have similar offers.... To get people signed up, with a deposit in their account and the temptation of depositing more than what the offer pays.

There should be no reason for them to not pay, because even though it sounds like £17 free cash and a big loss for them, there will be people who deposit and lose £100's if not £1000's which will pay for the offer and more

I agree, but we are talking about Topcashback here.
I have screenshots to prove the purchase and that it's definitely valid, but I very much doubt they'd admit there is an (obvious) tracking issue.

It's scary how much fun I had playing the games, and how close I am to throwing more money at them. It's even harder to stop when the money is just a number on the screen.

Big companies will never admit being at fault anyway. The people at customer support are not those who work on the scripting side of things, therefore if it works for 1 or 2, the customer support team will always say it's not their fault.

Only a few weeks ago EE had broadband issues. I have over 20 years experience with computer technology and after doing a lot of diagnostic testing, came to the conclusion the problem was down to EE. I phoned customer support to see when the problem will be resolved. They refused to acknowledge any problem and told me to turn the router off and back on again (The first step I did before calling them). A while later when it started working again, I searched online and going by other people's reports, there was some EE broadband down time.

I reckon with TCB, it's because too many people tried to sign up for that offer at once, meaning the tracking script wasn't able to track every single visit

I would never do these sorts of offers if I had an addictive personality in any way, not had a problem with all the others but have to say I could have continued on this time with the bejewelled blitz game, seems a high chance of winning at least your money back on it. I stepped away though and won't be going back on the website

Yes, that sums up Topcashback perfectly. They'll blame your device, your settings, cookies and maybe even the wind direction (joke, unless someone has experienced this), but very rarely will they admit there is an issue at their end! It's not tracking back properly now and those that did track earlier showed errors (five confirmations).
This thread and recent posts, show that there IS an issue.
Do they post on here? Or only Facebook / Twitter etc?
I'll put in a claim later if it hasn't tracked.

Portugal was covered in-play. Still jealous are we?

Thanks op

To rub salt into the wound, I've just had an email from TCB saying that time was running out to take advantage of my recently visited offer of the National Lottery!
They then say "If you've just made a purchase with one of these retailers, congratulations on getting a great deal... if you haven't already, you should start to see your Cashback tracking shortly."

Hmm :smirk:

Now I am confused.
When I looked soon after I did it, it showed 2 separate trackings:
1 at £15 confirmed
2 at £15 pending (£10 spend)

Today it shows
1 at £15 confirmed
2 at £27 pending (£10 spend)

But if the 1at is already confirmed surely they won't honour the £27??
Watch this space

No idea, but I'm glad I'm not the one that has to clean up this mess! I do wonder if there is some confusion for people who signed up with direct debits as well, since they had both offers running.

I Made my purchase yesterday and not tracking for me either or my mother in law.

Anyone done the direct debit. What are the procedures/rules for cancelling? tx

Mines not tracked yet either

Can someone please help me, I did this right and it didn't track, I emailed them to say it didn't work and they still haven't changed the status, what do I do? thanks

A few years ago a lot of hotukdealers, myself included we're given mountains of BS over the AMEX card cashback, I think it was about £63 , we all give tcb and AMEX absolute hell via email , phoning, Facebook Twitter eventually tcb payed out after about six months. I'm sure we can do it again if needed, I don't think national lottery would like bad press etc!

Claim now in and awaiting the usual BS!
I hope I'm wrong, but I think it will need a fight, similar to the Amex fiasco as above.
I don't do Twitter etc, but have there been any updates?

damn i missed out

​some times tracks at a lower amount but will be updated

​okay thank you for replying I've never used it before

Previous lurker and singed up as I am also a potential victim here.
A non-tracker like many over the past few days and I've asked the question on the MSE TCB thread as to whether the issue is known. I'll report back and update possibly later this afternoon if I get a response, well at least a sensible one. I've had many issues with TCB and know full well their excuses. I normally deal direct with a merchant to resolve problems and normally it works. But, lets give TCB a chance to acknowledge a known issue, that would be a helpful start. What they would intend to do, is what we would like to know about. Amazing though the times these TCB 'exclusive' promotions go wrong!

Mine tracked and confirmed at £27, but I've now received £0 payable... Anyone else get this?

I took it out on Wednesday and it tracked and confirmed fine. I've lodged a claim, but doubt I'll have any success to be honest.

Ok, one of the earlier ones then that tracked.
Strange to be declined so early though?
Stay with it as it could be a fight for us all!

My £27 was showing as confirmed last week straight after the £10 deposit was played. Now today when I go back to my account it shows as £0. Confused!!!

Sorry to say the TCB rep, Matt, has totally avoided to reply on the MSE forum re The Lottery. Perhaps off to find out what his leaders want him to post later? Again, I'll update this thread with any replies and I'll keep asking. Not unusual to initially skirt the issue, usually a bit of a delay tactic to work out what garbage they think their members will take in! Sorry again, but I tried.
Forgot to add, but I made a suggestion that TCB send a rep over here to HotUKDeals to perhaps add a comment or two! We live in hope!

Could you please provide a link to the MSE thread? Thanks

Yes, sure.

Don't forget to join in if you are a MSE member.

Had £27 pending and £10 confirmed, today £27 pending and £0 confirmed - saw it coming but disappointed the first is still pending even though the other confirmed!

Pants, does this offer appear with any freqency? I left it as one of my tabs and forgot about the deadline :disappointed:

i have 4 lots of £27 pending, i did have £15 comfirmed, but that has vanished

Exactly the same for me :neutral_face:

At least yours tracked guys, mine shows a click but no tracking :/

Join the club! We'll be ordering t-shirts soon :stuck_out_tongue:

A response from the TCB rep on MSE and it looks like it's our fault!

That TCB Rep is about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard :neutral_face:

I predicted something like that in an earlier post.They are renowned for that now, but at least they didn't blame the wind blowing in the wrong direction. :smirk:
See how my claim goes, but does anyone have any decent contact forums to aim our anger at the lottery itself if needed?

Seems strange that there doesn't seem to be anyone who done it over the weekend where the tracking actually worked, only seems the mid week ones tracked.

Yes and a very obvious problem.
Not a single post confirming any tracking over the weekend.

I've still got £27 pending, but I did it a day after the post date.

No tracking here either :disappointed:

Well that may be true for a tiny percentage of people but most of us use TCB a lot and don't have problems with other transactions tracking

Here's tcb/Matt's reply when I messaged via Facebook

Due to such a large amount of people taking part in the deal and with it being popular with a deal finding community it's no surprise that when some of their transactions they are frustrated by it and decide to air it with the rest of the community. However, untracked transactions do happen in the commission earning process and there can be varying reasons for it, normally it is down to the cashback network (independent of us and the merchant) not being able to see our cookies when an eligible purchase is made.

With all members who this has happened to I would advise them to lodge a claim so we can get their transaction queried with the cashback network, find out why it has gone untracked and then challenge them to try and get the commission so we can pass it back on to the member.

There's no secret agenda or sly reason that this hasn't tracked, it's simply the commission process in action and the network being unbias. Even when you click one of our links, if you have other cookies on your computer there is a very large chance it will confuse the tracking or even lead to one of the other cookies being paid the commission which is great for them but certainly not great for you. I totally understand when this happens it can be frustrating and this is why we provide advise such as clearing cookies and cache before logging in to make your purchase.

Best wishes,
Matt

Clearing cookies and the cache is not a practical way. Most of the time that advice doesn't work (just look online at how many forum threads there are by people who had issues, not with TCB but other problems and were told to clear the cache and cookies, they did it and it didn't resolve their problem).

It actually causes more harm than good in most cases because depending on what options people tick, it can wipe their saved passwords, autofill data, data that is used in games (for example, someone might play a flash game online, put hours into it. As it saves locally on the computer, doing a wipe can remove these files meaning they have to start over again).

TCB should have their test tracking page back up. I looked online and found people talking about it but that page no longer exists. It would really help people know before taking part in an offer that no problems exist on their side. Instead of doing wipes, which cause other problems only to find out their settings were all correct in the first place.

I don't think there is some big conspiracy here, just a technological cock up that they don't want to admit to. As long as the claim goes through I'll say no more about it.
As for clearing cookies, I didn't know that was a thing you were supposed to do, and as mentioned above, amongst all the rubbish there are some I actually want. I don't use any other cashback sites so no chance of someone else getting the commission.

"untracked transactions do happen in the commission earning process and there can be varying reasons for it, normally it is down to the cashback network (independent of us and the merchant) not being able to see our cookies when an eligible purchase is made.

" Now I can see why there are sometimes problems with tracking, I didn't know that there was a fourth party involved ie 'cashback network' who actually are these people? So it starts with us(the customer or Patsy) then tcb, then the merchant, then the mystery 'cashback network' (I'm starting to think these are an unwanted cog or spanner in the works we could do without!) Is it just all an elaborate conspiracy to hoodwink us all! :confused:

I agree and think tracking went wrong and they don't want to admit to it.
But, they never do!

Latest update from tcb
Hello,

Your Missing Cashback Claim for The National Lottery (26 Aug 16) has been updated.

This claim was previously 'On Ice' meaning it couldn't be submitted to the merchant until now ( 7 days after purchase).

Unless you hear otherwise, you don't currently need to do anything, we will submit your claim to the merchant.

Mine just tracked now :-)

Edit: although at £10

Mine too, just now, but the same, £10 not £27.

I signed up on Saturday evening.

Mine too, at the same £10. Do you know if we can submit a claim for the whole £27 now?

Yes, I've just had the email, but my transaction has also tracked at only £10. The TCB rep has posted on MSE and although not actually confirming an error, she has at least admitted the tracking wasn't as expected. Obvious there though as it has been an issue from start to finish! Tracking which should have taken one hour max has taken myself just shy of six days and is still wrong. Hopefully we'll all see transactions uplifted to the correct amount over the next few days. I've promised to challenge any issues if not fully resolved via the Lottery's own complaint procedure.
A lot of this frustration must be placed at Matt, the TCB rep. The trouble he causes on MSE and probably other social sites is unbelievable! Maybe time for him to step aside as he's clearly out of his depth! Cookies lol.

Yup,I put in my claim now its tracked.Thanks to our moaning on MSN

Mine has tracked for £27. No claim needed. Signed up on Saturday afternoon.

Yes, ditto £27 here.
Everything crossed that it passes go quickly and we get our cash.

Mine has tracked, I thought it was £10 but that's purchase amount :smiley: tracked at £27

Just need it to go to confirmed and payable now :smiley:

Just checked my claim and it is still on ice, so they must just have sorted the whole problem rather than going through claims :smiley:

I wonder if the lotto top brass have told them to get this sorted?
What started off as a denial has had some effort put in.

My claim has updated in last 24 hours to

Claim Status: Waiting for Website support team
Merchant: The National Lottery

No actual £27 pending yet though

£27 pending here as well :smiley: Not going to count my chickens before they've hatched though so I'm leaving the claim open.

Mine has changed from £10 to £27 now by itself

Yep same, changed to £27 also :smiley: I played 2 of those roll the dice monopoly scratchcards btw, surprisingly enjoyable! Thankfully I stuck to the £10!

My account is now showing as the correct £27 'exclusive' rate, so someone has been working overtime to sort out this mess! Credit though for the effort, but a shame they couldn't initially admit there was an obvious issue, they did what they usually do and direct the 'blame' elsewhere. Possibly a tech issue at the Affiliate Networks end, but the issue should have been blatantly obvious! TCB have missed a trick here in my humble opinion, they could have actually gained a reputation as a genuine caring cashback site! Off for a coffee and a couple of cookies of course!

Still nothing for me, already submitted missing cashback claim.

Just to let you know that we've submitted your missing cashback claim to The National Lottery.

You don't need to do anything at this point, but you can view your claim to check the status and for more information.

Now we have submitted your claim, we have to wait for a response from the retailer. This may take 2 – 3 months, but please be assured we will be in touch as soon as we have an update.
WTF, Just effing fantastic 2 to 3 months just because tcb messed up :confused:

I had £27 confirmed. Now saying £0.00 payable. Have lodged a claim.

Yeah same for me today too. Not happy with that at all. It's their mistake so why should we have to wait for so long?

Same boat. Missing cashback. Very poor.

£0 confirmed, £27 pending...

Yes, same here

Still nothing... stuck at

Claim Status: Waiting for Merchant

Confirmed or declined should be the next step.
Once confirmed, it should go to payable fairly quickly.

mine says "pending" allong with the other 5 @ £27 that appeared with zero purchase

Mines been £27 pending for a month now.

Yes, same here

Ditto.
Should move to confirmed soon if it's going to be paid within seven or eight weeks.
Bad reviews though, so may need a fight.

Emailed them and was told I have to wait 12-16 weeks before contacting them again for them to complete enquiries and tracking network checks.

Nothing has ever showed as pending or on my account. In future i'm just going to buy what I want and not bother with cashback websites. Would rather have no cashback than be anticipating some but for it to take so long and possibly not credit anyway

well think you've messed up somewhere as it should at the very least track and then turn to pending.

Not me, brand new member to both TCB and TNL. I frequently use websites like Swagbucks which have paid to sign up offers that track in similar ways and have always tracked fine.

Others also reported problems with nothing showing on their account after signing up and depositing.

Only thing that shows on my account is the click to merchant, and then I sent them proof of deposit (made within 30 minutes of clicking to the merchant)

I'm exactly the same as yourself, only thing showing on tcb account is click's to merchant for TNL, awaiting a response after submitting missing cashback.

My cash back was missing when I did this about a month ago, submitted a missing request and today it's now confirmed!

Mine too today.... at last!!!

Had the email saying I received cashback on my account and the claim shows as "Waiting for Member Comments"

Under earnings it shows as confirmed.... 7 weeks until it can be cashed out though :disappointed:....

Hoorahhhhhhh, just had the same!
The National Lottery 26 Aug 2016 £10.00
£27.00
confirmed
The National Lottery
Estimated Payable 7 weeks!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear it. That just confirms (even though we already knew) that it was their error as so many people have had their cashback added today :smile:

I have had mine confirmed today too

Mine is still stuck at pending.

Same, still stuck at Pending, did everyone spend their £10 same day? I took about a week for balance to get to zero. (or did some not spend it at all)

I credited my new lottery account(2nd account), on the same day that I used my credit on lottery tickets, spent every last penny, cashback didn't track put a claim in then after about 4 week's now awaiting payment approximately 7 weeks!

Mine is still at pending

Mine's still pending as well. Anyone had a payout yet?

Still stuck at pending!
I expected this be be confirmed by now. In fact it should be just about ready to pay.

Same for me :disappointed:

From pending is finally confirmed today! yay!

​Still stuck at pending. At least some are coming through.

Did you set a DD like me?
Are you waiting on £27 and a £15 transaction? 42 in total?

Still pending for above

I can confirm after 2 months it's just went to confirmed.

No d/d, just spent the £10 in one go.
Waiting for £27, nothing else.

My cashback was showing as pending and now it's just disappeared from my account. Anyone no why?

Mine's been confirmed.

Mine has also now been confirmed

My £27 is now showing as confirmed as from this morning.

£42 confirmed

Another one with £27 confirmed now

Anyone no what the date was exactly of this plz. Thanks

Has anyone had their £27 reach payable yet? It's confirmed.

Nope... still marked as confirmed...

Payment supposed to be End of November for myself!

I had 3 lots go confirmed today :confused:

Nope same... confirmed but not payable. Disgusted by it. It was their mistake why we didn't get the cashback right away, yet some 12 weeks later its still not payable.

Read the reviews.
Some tend to take seven months or more, rather then the seven weeks estimate.
For the seven weeks to be accurate, then some must be paid before they've even taken the offer!

I only joined Topcashback to take advantage of this offer, like others I am still waiting even though its been at confirmed for a number of weeks. Ive made 4 other transactions one which didnt track and two tracked at the wrong amounts and I have had to submit claims which apparently can take months. As soon as this transaction goes to payable I will be leaving top cash back its too much uncertainty and hassle.

I agree. Quidco is much better plus you have the live chat. I've had instances on Quidco where cashback has been confirmed and they pay me well in advance of the due date.

payable yesterday , thanks op

When did you make your purchase with them mate? I deposited £10 on the 28th of August but still says confirmed. Thanks in advance. :wink:

Mine was around the same date, tcb was missing I lodged a claim it's now confirmed should be payable by end of this month approximately 7 weeks!

mine's been showing as confirmed for weeks now after raising a claim. Anyone else in this situation?

Thanks for getting back to me mate. Have you been paid yet? Did they actually tell you it would be the end of November? They told me they couldn't give me a date. Still stating confirmed and not payable. Wish they would get their **** in gear, it's taking an age!!!

Made the £10 deposit on the 25th of August. Didn't need to raise a claim as it stated confirmed after about an hour. Still not payable as of yet. I did see on the site at the beginning of October that all payments for August had been made, obviously this isn't the case. Bit of a shambles this deal in all honesty.

Has anybody reached payable yet and if so what date did you make your purchase?

Mine was on the 24th, tracked straight away and then changed to 0 so i raised a claim but it has been showing as payable for at least 2 months. So annoying

Don't think I'll hold my breath on this one till at least after Xmas. Puts me off using Topcashback.

Three months now and it's a joke!

What date did you deposit?

The weekend around the 24th/25th.

Quidco > TCB all day every day.

No payment, now approaching fourteen week's now, it says on my confirmed information "The Estimated Payable Speed is based on the average time taken for previous transactions to become Payable. It can take longer in some cases, as we need to wait until the merchant passes the cashback onto us. We apologise if yours is taking longer than expected, but please be assured that as soon as we receive this, it will be reflected in your account."

Apart from Black Friday when the site was down for all users all day. :wink:

I think we should all complain as a whole If you ask me. This simply isn't good enough. Topcashback should fund all the accounts that made a deposit 3 months ago nearly and then make them wait for the merchant to pay up. Why should we suffer, after all we did everything asked of us. Won't be using The National Lottery site in future either, bunch of robbing numpties.

Has anyone been paid at all???

You can always email the boss of Topcashback find email address etc here, scroll below you might see tcb info if not do a search http://www.ceoemail.com/index-search.php

​email sent to Oliver at topcashback

Same here. [email protected] for everyone else wishing to complain.

Same boat as you guys. Equally I will not be using the lottery or TCB ever again. Just want my money and to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Yep same here - over 3 months what is the reason for the delay?

Topcashback probably have the money,just sitting on it! imagine how much they have in their coffers making lots of lovely interest for their Xmas bonuses! Bah humbug!

Credit to Topcahback. I sent Oliver (managing director) a scathing email yesterday and suggested that they themselves wait for the affiliate to pay them and push my payment to payable. I received an email today from Sarah acting on Oliver's behalf and she has kindly pushed my payment from confirmed to payable. I suggest that everyone sends Oliver an email to [email protected] and request the same. Hope this helps you guys out. Please post on here the outcome of your emails. She did say that they don't normally do this but as a gesture of goodwill she would do it on this occasion as I had been waiting over 3 months so it may be hit and miss. :wink:

Credit must go to Pateo for the idea of emailing the managing director and finding the email address. Good work m8! :smiley:

Nice result, I will fire my email off now! Cheers
Update
Jeez that was quick! Here's my reply from Sarah senior customer service spokes person
"Your transaction was Confirmed on 04 October 2016 and we would expect the cashback to come through around 6 to 8 weeks after that date, but we have pushed it to Payable for you while we wait for the cashback to come through. We do not make goodwill payments like this, as a general rule, as across our membership of over five million transacting with the 4400 plus retailers we list, this would run into many thousands of pounds. The same issue arises with sending members emails to give the progress of a transaction.



I hope that you find this resolution satisfactory, but if you have any further observations or comments, then please get back to me.



Yours sincerely,

Sarah Spruce"
Result :smiley:

Oliver has just received an email.

Another email sent to Oliver...He gonna be fed up by the end of today. Just like how we feel :disappointed:

Mine has mysteriously gone to payable. I credit set of balls Number 1 on Pateo :wink:

I did send the first email but hey ho lol. :stuck_out_tongue: Pateo's idea. Suggested that Topcashback make everyone's payable who have been waiting at least a 3 months or I would be creating a Facebook page for all customers affected to voice their angst. Looks like they are following through with this, either that or the affiliate has actually paid them. Wouldn't touch "The National Lottery" website again if you paid me. (Which would probably take another 3 months!)

Finally payable !!!

Got a long email from Sarah and they have paid. Betetr late bthan never. :smiley: Anyone waiting get on the email to Oliver.

I didn't write any emails but it still turned to payable today.

Mine's been paid out.
