Game of Thrones fans could get £100 compensation if someone spoils plot

Game of Thrones is one of the most-watched and most-talked about shows out there right now.

Each week people across the UK stay up late or get up early at the start of the week to watch the latest episode, so they can avoid all the spoilers.

Because as we all know, spoilers are the absolute worst.

Whether it's a family member or friend accidentally letting slip something huge, or a news article on Twitter containing a bit too much information, sometimes it's almost impossible to avoid them.

But now there's a new way to make spoilers a little easier to deal with, the Mirror reports .

Endsleigh Insurance Services have announced they will be offering 'Spoiler Cover' to GoT fans .

This new policy, which is the first of its kind in the UK, will allow fans to claim financial compensation for plotlines ruined by friends, relatives or social media.

Up to £100 per person will be offered if your viewing experience has been tarnished by a spoiler.

And to make the whole thing even better, claimants will receive a consolatory NOW TV pass so they can re-live all eight series of the HBO fantasy show any time they want.

To be in with a chance of getting financial compensation, claimants must submit in 100 words exactly how the plot was spoiled for them. Supporting evidence may also be provided.

There will only be a limited number of £100 payouts available. Payouts are equal amongst all spoilers and can be historical - so if you had something spoiled for you back in the days of season three, you can still make a claim today.

Julia Alpan, head of marketing at Endsleigh, said: " Game of Thrones is one of the biggest shows of the decade and the last few episodes promise 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.

"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!"
