I seen a proline tweet something about the changes awhile ago also read some articles about the above with nothing being as specific as mentioned. More less just mentioning dynamic odds and single game sports betting coming . I could certainly believe all this is coming or intends to but we will see what actually happens. Announcement of a Announcement and vague talk by proline is so far all we got . I see the posts and poster mentioned. I personally lack any confidence with anything said.

Yes a lot of what is posted doesn’t really ring true to me regarding the OLG take on different games, I don’t see how those numbers could be true except for the pools number. I know poster has been around awhile though so kind of weird.

For CT gift card, it all depends on the owner of the store. In my case the owner actually tip me to take advantage of these promotions and he has no problem with me using them for lottery or anything.

Any luck buying more than 1 Esso card on UGO wallet? They seem to only allow 1 gift card per purchase, and now any subsequent transactions are declined. Talked to customer service at UGO wallet and they say it's their app declining the purchase, not my credit card provider. Just try again tomorrow or the next day I was told. Hard to maximize this offer which allows for 30 cumulative Esso cards, when it expires on Dec. 31st and you can buy only 1 card per day!

Not sure kbet, I bought 1 yesterday for 150 and worked, bought another 1 for 150 this morning and worked. I have bought multiple on the same day for other gift cards on UGO and they went through ok, not sure why yours declined.

I have issues with MOOLA and EBAY purchase of gift cards. both recently declined, still can't figure out why. Was kinda pissed I missed out on the CT gift card on Ebay because the transaction wouldn't work. Tried multiple debit and credit cards all declined.

I got another $150 Esso just now and it worked, so I will try again for more later today. Moola has been crap lately. I made a killing last year buying Sobeys cards on there. Visa Momentum had a glitch and all the ApplePay transactions were categorized as "recurring payment" so I got 4% cash back on top of the 5% off deal!

From the below link, the Extra Esso program will end Monday January 17, 2022. It will be replaced by Optimum points on that day.
Looks like there will be a bonus applied for switching over your Esso points to Optimum.

Two questions coming from this change...

1) Will you get Optimum points for buying lottery? My guess is, you won't as currently you can swipe for optimum points but it won't register.
2) Will Cardswap Esso reloadable Gift cards will work at Esso? Currently it works but not necessarily after the changeover date.
