ATTENTION PLEASE: to all of you who can't purchase Mystery Envelopes because you already own all the shows available :
Quit & relaunch your software: now you can purchase envelopes @5 credits with only a scratch game inside !
Good luck!

Thank you for so quickly responding to this problem. I shall now play until I either win the SEC or reach my self imposed spending limit for these games.

I just got the card it took 1 hr of play time and 175 credit loss to get it.. happy hunting guys and gals... Oh and also in all that time I never seen 1 ( 50 credits ) so theres that as well. But I managed to land about 6 or 7 ( 25 credits )

😕

I also just won today's SEC. It took me about 40 minutes playing the scratch game, but only cost me 30 credits overall. I won many times, most often just the 5 credits it cost me to play, but there were quite a few 10 or double 5 credit wins plus a few of 25 credits. At the rate at which I was playing and winning it looks like would have taken me hours to reach my self imposed limit of losing 115 credits - and as my winnings were quite often over my total spend at that point I would not have been at all surprised if I had made a profit as well as winning the SEC if I had played for longer.

Great, every time an error message, and no other way to get this SEC, this time you really shot the bird, as we would das in Austria.

@KarKing

Did you QUIT and restart the program as @Celine instructed us to do?

As I am am often pointing out the X icon in the top right hand corner does not quit the program, only closes the window. You need to use the QUIT menu item available only via the systray icon (or you can ***** the program using task manager or you can reboot).

I ***** 2500 credits. No SEC for me. Lots of old shows and almost no credits or other cards to win. ***** happens. This is a worst Game.

Did you QUIT and restart the program as @Celine instructed us to do?

Thanks for the tipp, but its dont work.

I won't play if i have to buy a ton of cards i don't want for it. Still got one Joker card so i can get one of the 2 new SECs at least. I like playing the scratch game but not in combination with the mystery envelopes. But anyway i do appreciate that you found a solution for those with a full collection at least.

@Celine

Thank you for the fix it is really appreciated. Worked like a charm and I now own the Special Event Card.

Edit to add - hopefully fixes like this can be in place going forward, fingers crossed :)

completely DISAPPOINTED

Oh and I guess this might upset some people but it took me 1 minute and cost me 15 credits.

No wonder

Whoa... some people getting the SEC for 15-30 credits and some spending 2500 credits and still not getting it... makes one very hesitant to start spending their credits...

I had accumulated 3 Joker cards into my collection from all the previous games and buying the premium membership early enough, so I decided to spend one of them for the new Eva Elfie card and not try my luck at all. Still two Jokers left for the inevitable new SECs in the near future...

Some thoughts after the fix...
I can understand giving to owners of full collection some chances more than to other members, in order to reward their fidelity.
But the gap now present from the almost impossibility to win the card which ordinary members have to experience to the quite easy win which completists can now enjoy (and which they did report) is maybe too big.
It was a "last minute" fix, so I think it can be ok for this time, but maybe if such a "mystery envelopes" offer will be proposed again on the same day of a SEC's release (which by the way I hope NOT to happen), such a thing should be taken on consideration also.

I have quit the game after losing 200 credits.
No SEC or Joker wins but I did manage to win 2 ordinary cards so they cost me 100 credits each.
That might be profitable for Totem in the short term but not the long term

There are two factors affecting this

1) As with any games of chance there is always a possibility of winning quickly and cheaply and there is also always a possibility of losing badly if you continue to play.

2) With this scratch card, as with the previous scratch cards, if there are not enough cards in the store that you could buy then the prizes that would have entailed cards are replaced by wins of credits. This means that for those of us with full or nearly full collections the chances of winning credits (or at least getting our stake back for a scratch card) are greatly increased. Our chances of winning something are not increased because other members will be winning 20% discounts on 5 cards rather than getting their money back. Of course if they don't want the cards they have won then they may not regard this as a win but in terms of credit value it is.

As a result, if you are playing only for the SEC and do not want any other cards then those of us with full sets will tend to pay much less than those that still have cards that can be purchased in the store.

You coud regard this as being a reward to what others have been calling Totem's "best customers" - several posters (though not myself) have suggested that such customers should be rewarded in some way.

There should be an Option for Triple Diamond and Premium Members to buy or Preorder SECs.
Just to remind everyone about it, there is still that "Achievment" Tab in our Profile which say "Coming Soon"(Registered Trademark) since Years.
So how about doing something with that?

@TheEmu

Agreed with everything you wrote. I have full collection (now that I used one of my Jokers on that new Eva Elfie card) so I only had credits to win with the scratch cards. I did do some of them for fun and to see if I can get some big credit wins, but after being about 40-50 credits at loss, called it a day :)

And while on topic on Special Event Cards, I'm quite certain that one of Belka's forthcoming F-series cards will be SEC. I'm sure Totem has taken notice of the overwhelmingly positive reaction to her cards so far, and calculated potential profits appropriately. Luckily, I still have those 2 jokers left :)

Sorry i ment buying or Preordering Joker Cards not SECs.

@Wardogleader

As Jokers can be used to buy SECs, at a fixed rate of 1 Joker per SEC, then there would be little difference

I'm quite certain that one of Belka's forthcoming F-series cards will be SEC.

She or Stacy Cruz

@Wardogleader

Yes but that is going to come back and bite us in the ass.. What will happen is once they start selling Joker packs they will up the cost say 2 even 3 jokers per SEC .. I for one would not be liking that idea at all.

Well like i mentioned they could do something with the Achievment Tab.
Maybe when you have buyed over 4000 Cards you are automatically get x Number of Joker Cards when you buy/expand Premium Membership.
I mean shouldn't the Achievments not be good for something?

I'm quite certain that one of Belka's forthcoming F-series cards will be SEC.

She or Stacy Cruz

True... or even both 😳

I won't play if i have to buy a ton of cards i don't want for it.

Same here 😕

what kind of scam is this, I cant post a comment in other parts of the forums because it says im a free user of istripper. This is ridiculous, I was not given my 3000 cards for free.

Well i guess @lukaszr can no longer give us heads up about SEC's on his site because this is news to me!

Looks to be true..........checked last night by chance, Eva's card was listed as a regular card, checked the SEC's to see if there were any additions..........

There should be an Option for Triple Diamond and Premium Members to buy or Preorder SECs.Just to remind everyone about it, there is still that "Achievment" Tab in our Profile which say "Coming Soon"(Registered Trademark) since Years.So how about doing something with that?

I like this idea. The Achievement tab has been there since the rebranding to istripper which was a couple years ago so no idea what they are waiting on. I personally think that we should have an option to at least get joker cards.

But then I'm sure that the profits they are getting is better than goodwill from customers, which I understand somewhat. I just wish I could get some of the SEC shows without gambling.

I'm just hoping that the profits earned will translate to better shows that can be directly bought in the store.

Forget SEC you can't win the special event card if you have a full collection.
So, I don't see the point to make a game if not all participants can have a single chance to win the card.

I have nothing about gambling if at least you can win something.
My collection will end at 4448 in 2020. Enjoy.
