Our Verdict
These offers are still good offers in the broader picture, but obviously not as good as the offers which were available previously. It’s odd how quickly the old offers were pulled as we usually get some sort of heads-up in one way or another. The newly increased 150,000 referral offer is interesting, and might be better for some people in 2-player mode.
