Be sure to leave a nice comment if you like this offer or ask for help if you have any trouble.

They mention nowhere on the signup page that they are using an "Origin On the House" to get your e-mail address and send you their ad laden giveaways. Scratch another site from my giveaways list for shady practices :P

It's not the first time they're doing this. They sent out letters about a previous On The House giveaway too, also they subscribed me to some Grandmother's Recipes mailing list.

I particularly love their Android giveaways, which are always things not even in the Play Store. Gee, I wonder if there's malware in there...
