I just played a TGIF game after more than a year of avoiding them and I made an interesting observation. The larger your collection, the less valuable the game becomes. The most common rewards from a game are free cards and gift cards. The more cards you own, the less likely it is that a free card will be something you would buy. The higher your reward level, the less valuable a gift card becomes. In my case, a gift card is worth at most 16.5 credits, but that is only if I buy an old card with a higher than normal price. Since I'm a premium member I almost always buy cards within the week they are released and that reduces the value of a gift card to 13.75 credits. For a member with a lower discount level, the value of a gift card is greater. For a member with a small collect, the chance that a free card will be valuable is also greater.

It will probably be a few more years before I play another game and that will only be after I use my one remaining Joker.

I've been saying this for a long time, which is why I see no advantage in having a complete collection of regular cards to play these games.

Trying to acquire an SEC, without any other benefits, is a major loss of credits (money) assured. Especially since a regular card as a PREMIUM costs me 11 credits and 13.20 credits for a card with a costume on a specific theme.

I have more advantage to buy my credits, when there are credits in bonus, which allows me to have really free cards, and this, without playing these "stupid" games, which makes us pay to have cards called "gifts" at the end of a progress bar.


Je le dit depuis longtemps, c'est pourquoi je ne vois aucun avantage en ayant une collection complète des cartes régulières à jouer à ces jeux.

Essayez d'acquérir une SEC, sans autres avantages, est une perte importante de crédits (argent) assurés. Surtout qu'une carte régulière en tant que PREMIUM me coûte 11 crédits et 13.20 crédits pour une carte avec un costume sur un thème précis.

J'ai plus avantage à acheter mes crédits, lorsqu'il y a des crédits en bonus, ce qui me permet d'avoir des cartes vraiment gratuites, et ce, sans jouer à ces jeux "stupides", qui nous fait payer pour avoir des cartes dites "cadeaux" au bout d'une barre de progression.

How it reacts to a full collection is anyones guess. If your prize was to be a free card but there are no cards to give you then does it give you nothing or does it substitute a different prize instead? If your win gets your credits and jokers instead of random cards than maybe that works out in your favor since you buy anything anyways?

If you have a large collection but not full it makes no sense at all to play as your prize(s) will likely be one you don't want. I know I'm not playing for that reason alone and honestly I had to ask myself even if it were not the cards I dont want getting stuck in my collection do I really want to pay $25, $50, or possibly more for a single card when I could put that money into a nice meal or even another site with many girls that I could enjoy for months.

I don't want a full collection so for me the exclusive cards are a hard pass.

@dar2112v - my experience as a full-collection owner is that the game will give a money-back reward (i.e. your stake money returned) instead of a free card - which usually means you can play longer and hence have more opportunity for higher value wins (note: you still win gift cards though).

It's been said over and over to nauseum...

Most of the TGIF events are tailored towards the new members and lower level members.
They benefit the most from these events.

Members with Full or Nearly full collections are not where most of these events are tailored.

No one is ***** you to take part in the TGIF events.
If there is no benefit to you as a high level member
then don't take part in the event.

Cards Newer than 45 days old, are Generally, Not Included in the Events.
So as a full collector, you should wait at least 45 days, so there is a pool of cards for you to win in the events.

If you are the discriminating purchaser
TGIF events will benefit you the least.

Only participate when the event has the most value for you.

Do I get credits in place of cards if I own the full collection?

It has been my experience, on certain TGIF events
that you get more credits returned in place of winning a card.
So if for example the 25 event,
your chance would have given you a card, in it's place you get back the 15 credits used for that chance.

I play the 25 event to gain Joker cards.
and often, I will walk away with a joker, and be almost even on the credits won back, vs the credits used.
or I will be down a small amount.

Chose the events that offer you the best value.
Most of them are not tailored towards your benefit.

I played the 25 game on Friday. I knew I'd win some "free" cards I'd not purchased when they came out.
Only 11 outside the 45 days cut off and sure enough I now have them all.
I'll probably look at them and some I bet I will be pleasantly surprised. Others I know I will just delete.

While getting those 11 cards in the first 37 plays, I also won 17 times either 15 or 35 credits.
In the next 37 plays I won 26 times either 15 or 35 credits plus 1 gift card.

Totally random I know, but it does seem to show that when you have no card to win, you win credits back more often.
