I don't know if the offer is real or not but it is never good to just click links in emails unless you are absolute certain of the sender. The links could take you to porn or phishing logins, try to send malicious code, install adware, or any number of viciously nasty things. Whenever I receive a suspicious offer like this by email, I go directly to the (supposed) originator's website via the browser and look for it mentioned there - it always is if real. Or you could ask support or in the forums.
To sum up here: go to Content Paradise or SmithMicro and verify that TrialPay, RealArcade, and RealPlayer are working with them on some deal. If this were e-Frontier, I'd immediately say 'scam' but since SmithMicro is a general software-eating company which like to market it is hard to be sure.
