Probably because if there were loads more offers for £5, the freebie sites would be struggling to make any kind of profit.

Re: £5 offers


while ur at it why aren't all the offers free? lol

i think the idea for these companies is to find the right balance between:

a) getting people to continue using the site
b) a reasonable sum to help claw back some of the cash they pay the sites
c) (and in the case of gambling sites) the more you pay the longer you gamble. They want you to gamble longer because they need to impress upon you how their site is different to the others (see point A)

the more an offer costs me, the more of my attention they have.

They can't magically whip up free offers though...
