If only 10% of them are still active, that is still 2.7 million members

...with girls dancing for your robot overlords... :)

ok je c pas si vous arnaquer le monde mais en tout cas je vais arreter la..je paye pour rien jai acheter des credits et a chaque fois je me fait avoir..rien du tout pas de stripp..et pas de fille...donc c'est la derniere fois que je me suis fait avoir et croyer moi je vais pas vous recommander ...allez ciao bye..!!

Pas de chance pour moi.

yup i actually login too the istripper application using my i2-usernumber

If Totem wants games I won't ***** as long as they're not using exclusive cards as a leverage to ***** members to play because that's the only way to get those special cards. Gambling should only be a way to get a chance of winning them for a potentially lower price.

I saw a post here that Mentioned the i2 winners. meaning a member name like this i27271259

That is a members Generic User name when they haven't created a Pseudo name yet.
Totem has used that since the very Beginning.
Every Member, starting with member 1
was given a generic user name based on what Member number they are.
Some had "v"'s in front of the member number, and now "i" is used.
Ever time a new member signs up, the number is increased by 1.

I re-signed up in 2008.
I am very close to member number 1,140,000

Before the product changed to being called iStripper
the Home Page,
showed the most recent members who joined,
and how many members there were
It was of 20 million at that time.

When the product changed to iStripper,
the member signups were no longer displayed on the home page.
but you could still tell the member count by the generic member name.

Look at the number.
Example i27271259
That is member number 27,271,259
yes the 27 millionth, 2 hundred and 71 thousandth, 259th member.

It doesn't mean there are over 27 million ACTIVE members, but since starting VGHD, over 27 million Members have used or still use the product.

If only 10% of them are still active, that is still 2.7 million members

So the Random Drawing could have been over 2 million Member..

50 winners drawn from a pool of over 2 million members, each with multiple entries.
the Odds it would be you, or a member who frequents the forums, is very slim...

Remember, forum activity is conducted by a very small percentage of ALL of the Users.
WE, the members who frequent the forum, may be less than 1% of ALL of the Users.

Over 27 million signups, that's HUGE !

Somehow ***** got left off my want list. Thanks, and Totem gets three new sales.

? You can't buy event cards! Think and proove before posting!

Stop those gaming and the event cards, even if you could not win them in the game like this weekend! Very dissapointing!

The event cards are a ***** for long time members and triple diamonds especially!

Congrats to the winners. Had 340 Tickets because I wanted the two special cards I was missing. Won some credits also. Spent about 100 overall, Joker would have been a fine bonus but I did not really expect it so I'm fine with it.

And before reading any posts here, I was surprised to not win a Joker card after having (apparently measly) 200 tickets...😀

Seeing from other posts that there were people with 600+ tickets and even more, and still not winning a Joker card, makes it perfectly understandable. There must have been hundreds of thousands or even millions of tickets in the pool - the probability of getting one of my 200 to be picked was, in the end, not very high after all...

the random picker sure does like the i2's

Congrats to the 50 winners

Thanks TheEmu & HansSachs for answering disappointed members!
This drawing is pure random, 1 scratch ticket purchased gave 1 entry.
50 entries were picked up randomly.
Best proof is : what would have been our interest to rig it?

@wtprivate

I'm willing to bet the newer your membership, the more likely you are to have won. Totem don't really care about 3x members.

I checked the status of the first 20 of the 50 winners (I can't be bothered to check all 50) but it looks like you would have lost your bet.

Still kind of odd seeing people with 600 and 500 chances not getting selected.

Odd? Not at all. Let's repeat it: we are talking about total number of scratch card played during last week (could be even millions!) among which only 50 Joker cards were to be extracted.
Indeed I would have no surprise at all even if a person with 1000 chances did not win anything.

Same here. With 287 tickets no Joker win. What a bad luck. Sure i've won during the game 4 special event cards, but do not won one i'm interestet in. All three im played it for are still unavailable for me. So i think i will never again spend cash/credits for those kind of games here. :(

I saw not a single name of any old member with all cards & big poster on forum among Joker card winners.

I recognised two of the names as being those of posters to the forum, but neither were those of prolific posters. I see no evidence of any bias, only that there are many more active members than active posters (which should not surprise anyone).

I'm 100% certain that your actions, ranking, length of membership and other factors determine your odds.i don't think so. Just to do an exemple, I saw not a single name of any old member with all cards & big poster on forum among Joker card winners.

I'm willing to bet the newer your membership, the more likely you are to have won. Totem don't really care about 3x members. They want the new *****.

515 tickets and didn't win, not ***** as I got many special event cards, lots of 10 credits, a few 50s and 100s. I'd ***** that of all the regular cards most were xxx shows at 720p, I had 0 interest in them. Still kind of odd seeing people with 600 and 500 chances not getting selected. More tickets = more chances, so really bad luck I guess. My two cents.

I'm 100% certain that your actions, ranking, length of membership and other factors determine your odds.

100 entries. No wins. I smell BS.

I don't. I do wonder, though, if there is a better way to do this? Ah well...

If there's one thing I've observed about all these scratch games and what-not, it's that the odds are not random. There are clearly rules about what you win, and when.

If this was a casino, it would be shut down. I'm 100% certain that your actions, ranking, length of membership and other factors determine your odds.

It's just the game rules.
Among the grand total of scratch cards played during last week (not the ones played by a single member, but the ones played by all members who played, summed: a really, really huge number!) were to be then extracted only 50 Joker cards. Chances to win were practically null.

100 entries. No wins. I smell BS.

Why? There were quite possibly several thousand people involved each with tens or hundreds of entries in the final draw in which case 100 entries would not be expected to win anything.

100 entries. No wins. I smell BS.

Barlely any peeks this week tots c'mon got to giva a a reason tis the season

666 entries for a Joker card, and these random number names beats me. Idk whats going on, are you sure your draw system gave me my 666 entries and not just 1 entry for each person?

And the winners are....

dam i was hoping for a joker card for the melena card kinda bumed out now :(

Thank God it's Friday, Automn is almost here!

First of all, let's have a look to what we have released this week and give a warm welcome to our new model, Scyley Jam, young russian brunette with fantastic assets... Andreina Deluxe comes back in a xxx show, with strong intentions to dominate you and Kecy Hill & Angel Sway are here to keep us a bit longer in summer:



Autumn Slot Machine

Our slot machine is back! Unlike casinos' slot machines, you CANNOT lose with this one!
You win discounts or free credits, or both!
The Autumn slot machine has 4 rolls with cards & autumn leaves + 1 roll with the discount applied to the cards drawn.
Each spin costs 1 credit or 2 credits. If you spin for 2 credits you double your gains !

Gains:

You win at least a discount on all the cards of the line. The available discounts are : -5%, -20%, -30%, -50% and -70%.

But that's not all. You can also win real credits when you see a autumn leaf on the line :

1 autumn leaf: 1 credit added to your account
2 autumn leaves: 5 credits added to your account
3 autumn leaves: 50 credits added to your account.
4 autumn leaves: 1000 credits added (you read it right, One thousand credits!!)

Of course, combos are possible. For instance, if you have 2 cards, 2 autumn leaves and -50% on your line, then you get 50% off these 2 cards PLUS 5 credits added to your account!

Let's gamble!

Wtf, I had 666 Joker card entries and didn't win one :/

Shame dude. Thankfully I only ***** 13 entries. I'm willing to bet that the people that run these competitions are all members of a certain tribe.

Wtf, I had 666 Joker card entries and didn't win one :/

Third card has been released, now. Try synchronizing with server.

Got it thanks!

Third card has been released, now. Try synchronizing with server.

Are we just getting 2 new cards this friday?

DRAWING IN 4 MINUTES !!!!

@HansSachs

I have no problem with statements such as that expressed in your last post - indeed I agree with it but doubt that the effects will be significant. What I have always had problems with is posters that claim that there will be a large negative effect rather than there might be such an effect.

[quote]bank notes have no monetary value outside their country of origin[quote]
They can not be used as currency, but do have monetary value, though: you can easily change them in the notes of the country you are in. Which you can not do, in any way, with credits.

The sales datas, though, can not measure the increasing disappointment that a bunch of both collectors and pickers could feel for such promos - as I do feel. Such disappointment, if the exclusive promos will be offered continually, more and more often - as the trend look to be - could, in my opinion, have negative effects in the future.

@HansSachs

Of course I have no direct evidence, but neither do I make any claims on the subject. What I have repeatedly pointed out is that Totem do have the required data and that it would be extremely odd if they repeatedly did things that they knew to be bad for them.

You spend only cash. Credits are not moneyPoker chips can be traded back to the casino for real world cash that can be used outside of the casino

On this subject, I totally am with @TheEmu , @Wyldanimal and @muttonjeff , and I will repeat it again, for last time: you can not change credits into real money. So - as T&C too states - they have no real monetary value. Poker chips have it, since you can change them back into money, Istripper credits NO. Once you bought credits (only real transaction here on Istripper) it makes not any difference for Totem if you keep them or spend them.
Istripper gamble is bare credit gamble, it's NOT money gamble.

On other point, though, I don't agree with @TheEmu:

do you have any evidence that Totem have lost any customers because of these games.

No, but do you have any real evidence that it did not? Or that it will not in the future?

Melena

Melena for me and it's not even close!

Thanks @Celine for warning, and all the best to ***** O Fee!

The ad:

"Here are the possible gains:
• 10 credits
• 50 credits
• 100 credits
• 1 Free card (randomly picked up from the cards you don't own yet)
• One of the special event cards below:"

Importantly, "Randomly picked up from the cards you don't own yet" did not describe one of the special events cards. You can therefore imagine my surprise and frustration when I finally won a special event card—and instead of a choice (of this week's special event card), I was randomly assigned a special event card from the past.

Had this potential outcome been clear, I wouldn't have played. I thought this game was a way to win the special event card released this week, if one kept playing long enough—not a way to get randomly assigned a past special event card, despite repeated plays.

I have not downloaded the special event card I was randomly assigned. I am hoping Totem will make this right.

TheEmu

Cuase thers no other like products to go too

I also made this bold and untimately meaningless grandeos statement,. In the end totem know they ahve the only product like this, and will henceforth continue, knowing thers nothing they can do wrong, no accountability becuase they hide behind "credits have no real value" even tho credits cost real down to earth cash.

In the end, too me, spending cash and recieving credits is a causative realationship, no?

@zenwolfy2k

and a dissapointed customer is a customer that will go somewhere else to fullfill their needs.

Several users have made this claim, but do you have any evidence that Totem have lost any customers because of these games. I agree that it seems likely that a few have been disappointed enough that they have stopped buying but it seems to me that this is likely to be a negligable percentage of the overall customer base.

I also don't like either the gambling aspect or the special event cards, but claims such as the above that are not backed up by any evidence, and which probably contradict Totem's experience as measured by sales, are unlikely to have much effect.
