Game of Thrones been ruined by spoilers? You could win £100 from an insurance company

There are 19 hours between Game of Thrones airing in the USA and the UK - which can make it difficult to avoid spoilers.

Casually opening up Facebook, Twitter or Instagram can be a minefield for viewers who don't want the series ruined for them. Then there is those people at work who watched the latest episode on a dodgy stream in the early hours of the morning, and absolutely have to let people know about it.

Ahead of the show's finale on Sunday/Monday, an insurance company has launched a 'Spoiler Cover' competition, offering fans up to £100 if they've had Game of Thrones ruined by a spoiler.

Endsleigh says its policy will appease disgruntled viewers, by awarding 10 people financial compensation of up to £100 and a Now TV pass.

Julia Alpan, head of marketing at Endsleigh, said: "Game of Thrones is one of the biggest shows of the last decade and the finale promises to bring in some of the largest audiences on record.

"With the show historically airing on US screens ahead of the UK, spoilers have always been an issue – so we wanted to address that head on with the first ever spoiler insurance policy, that will offer financial compensation for anyone whose day is ruined by an unwanted plot reveal.

"Whether it’s a colleague at work who has stayed up and streamed the show at 2am, or a rogue news article giving away the story on social media – our Spoiler Cover will help provide consolation for fans who have had the ending revealed prematurely.”

"This is the first time we’ve launched a spoiler insurance offering, but if we receive a good response then we might even roll the policy out for other popular TV shows – next up, Love Island.".

To enter, Game of Thrones viewers have to fill in a form with details of the worst spoiler they have ever heard.
