Scratch, sip, win: Octopus launches new scratchcard with even more prizes up for grabs
Octoplus members beat Monday blues with new scratchcard – playable anytime, every Monday
Hundreds of thousands more customers now have the chance to win free coffees, holidays, and more
New rewards from brands including MUBI, Uber Eats, Lidl and Krispy Kreme join line-up
London, 20 July 2026 - Are you feeling lucky?
Octopus Energy is giving millions of Octoplus customers a better chance of winning its most popular freebies, replacing its first-come-first-served rewards with a brand-new scratchcard.
Until now, more than 60,000 early birds were setting alarms to snap up hundreds of thousands of rewards as soon as they dropped – meaning anyone who slept in missed out.
The scratchcard will eradicate the Monday morning scramble for the most popular rewards.
How does it work? After updating your Octopus app, open the Octoplus tab every Monday and scratch before the clock strikes midnight for a chance to win a fantastic freebie.
Tens of thousands of prizes are added to the mix every week. Customers can get their hands on:
Free coffees
Sausage rolls
Ice pops
Chocolate bars
Constantine plushies
UberOne memberships
And more!
If customers don't win instantly via the scratchcard, they can enter a second-chance prize draw for even bigger rewards, including a luxury trip to Dubrovnik for two.
The scratchcard is just one part of a bigger Octoplus refresh.
Alongside the new weekly game, members can enjoy exclusive competitions, offers, and a mix of exciting new rewards and much-loved experiences available through the app, including:
VIP Bruno Mars tickets
Camp Bestival hospitality packages
Cinema ticket deals
National Trust day passes
Free movie streaming on Rakuten TV
More than 2.8 million households have already joined Octoplus, with customers claiming £19 million worth of rewards and freebies last year alone.
Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Chief Marketing Officer, said: "We constantly innovate to make energy better for people, and Octoplus is one such example. We built it to reward customers for getting involved, and our new Monday scratchcard is the latest way we're sprinkling a little joy into the week. Our customers told us how much they love the free coffee, so it's staying – alongside even more chances to win brilliant rewards. Free coffees, holidays, gig tickets...
Mondays are looking much better already."
Octoplus is Octopus Energy's free rewards scheme, giving customers points for taking part in energy-saving events like Saving Sessions. Octopoints can be turned into bill credit, charity donations, and double-vouchers on Shoptopus where new items will be dropping very soon.
A host of exciting new brands are joining the new and improved roster, including MUBI, Krispy Kreme, Forest Bikes, Lidl, and UberEats.
