If you follow me on Instagram you may have spotted my news… I’m pregnant! In May and June I was in my first trimester and struggled with my energy levels. As a result these months were quieter in terms of making extra money online. Despite falling asleep on the sofa every night after my day job I managed to make £130. Here’s how I did it:
Free Spins
Coral – £12.63
I continued to play the free Coral Rewards Grabber every day and won a few times in May and June. It’s easy to play. You simply use the grabber to select a symbol and reveal if you’ve won a prize. The prizes are usually free spins or casino bonuses. Since I started playing this game in May 2020 I’ve won almost £100.
Sky Vegas – £5.15
I also played Sky Vegas’ free Prize Machine each day. You click to spin the reels and see if you’ve won free spins, casino bonuses or cash prizes.
William Hill – £0.05
William Hill run a similar promotion called The Bonus Drop. Again you get one try per day. Choose one of the three drop zones to see if you’re a winner.
Betfair* – £0.63
Betfair’s Prize Pinball machine is still running so I’ve played it every day and had a few tiny wins with the free spins I was awarded.
Monopoly Casino* – £0.63
With Monopoly Casino’s Daily Free Games* you pick squares to reveal symbols and win free spins and cash prizes. I had a small win in June.
Rainbow Riches* – £0.10
I also had a tiny win with Rainbow Riches Daily Free Games* that work in the same way as Monopoly Casino’s.
Total – £19.19

If you have any issues around gambling it may be best to avoid these types of promotions.
Surveys
Streetbees – £1.75
Referral code – 7946AT
I’ve only been doing the higher value surveys on Streetbees so made a small amount that was paid directly into my PayPal account.
Total – £1.75

Stake is a trading app similar to Freetrade and Trading 212 but designed specifically to trade US shares. By signing up using a referral you can get a free share of Nike, Go-Pro or Dropbox! In May I referred someone and received a free share in Go-Pro. If you’d like to know more I have a blog post all about Stake Free Shares.

Revolut is a money app that often offers referral rewards. I signed up using a link organised by Mr Deals Manchester and the owner very kindly split their referral reward with me. If you haven’t signed up yet and you’d like to do the same pop me a message on Instagram and I’ll sort it out for you.

Cashback
TopCashback* – £2.85
Some cashback from various small Etsy orders became available last month so I cashed out and paid the money directly into my bank account.

I also had some cashback from a larger Etsy order become payable with TopCashback so I cashed that out too.
Quotemehappy.com – £20.00

Total – £23.88
Daily Clicks
Jisp – £5.00
Referral code – MLWYAF
Jisp is a grocery shopping app that offers daily rewards for using the app. Every day you can open the app, navigate to the daily rewards section and check in to reveal your daily bonus. It’s usually between £0.01 and £0.04 but it only takes a second and once you’ve hit £5 you can use it to redeem a voucher. I went for a £5 Argos voucher.
Total – £5.00
Receipt Scanning
