Crowdflower Bogus Task?

Has anyone else tried to complete the task regarding a casino search of UK websites as follows?
Please search for the term 'online casino games' in the search window.
Look for a search result with the title 'Online Casino Live Games Best UK' and click on that link to open that result.
I can't find it anywhere and a Google search reveals others are also mystified by it. I have tried answering 'No' to the question 'Can it be found in the first 10 pages of the search results' but I am then prompted to visit the site before completing the task!
Has anyone else ever found this site? Is it bogus? If so, why has it been on Crowdflower for so long?
I would be very interested in your comments.
Thanks.

No I haven't come accross that one, I'm doing something similar I think but I can find the pages so they are not bogus. If I come across it I'll give it a go and see if I can find it. If it's dodgy surely CrowdFlower should remove it

Well, that's what I thought. I completed 4 other tasks this mrning on a UK based website called Vivatic and earned 16 pence (4 per task). However, the aforementioned task always stumps me! The wording is pretty similar on all 5 tasks but please let me know if you have any success with the specific one in question.
Thanks

I THINK (but am not certain that this task appears under the following heading (the only differential is the number and I may be wrong as I can not get back in to view the task as I 'gave up' on it):
Answer a few questions about a website (United Kingdom - Saturday Task #21)

I have encountered a similar task and I also could not proceed with submitting it. I have tried it several times, and each time I hit the submit button, it says that I must go to the mentioned site. I did go to the site mentioned but still, I could not submit task.

That exact search is also a little dodgy on Admimsy too - It is still on Admimsy too
