Awful gambling game ExScratch game:

• 85 dollars spent,
• 70 attempts,
• winning notthing.

Prrobability to win Excard in this game:
less than 1/70 = 0.014 (around one percent)

I had

• 35 attempts
• win 700 points
• win 30 cards
• win my 2 missing Ex cards

Congratulations!)
But i have, what i have(((
Maybe it because, no cards to purchase for me(only special event cards in Store).

I had 35 attempts win 700 points win 30 cards win my 2 missing Ex cards

What ex Card you win?

Remembering how costly these EX cards were to get when they first were offered, they were never going to be an easy win here either. And like all these damn games, sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not. At least Totem listened and have given people the chance again to get those they want. 👍

What ex Card you win?

I played for:
1: Lilly Mays (after 8 attempts)
2: Shelena
I already had the other two EX cards.

Did you also get this EX card?

I believe this was the EX card for the recent Black Friday.

Did you also get this EX card?

That's not one of the 4 on offer in this promo.
Hopefully will be in the future.

All my attempts was for Kelly Collins card,
may be different probability chances.

"They call it a 'Sale'......... Spending credits to get a discount is no sale!

Xcard where exclusive, so suprised to see them back in another game. It was stated they where giving out only during that event, which makes them more valuable.

But off course whising everybody good luck and a good catch to get another change. The shows are nice.

Some feedback: When you have cards in collection already the buy button is still available and you can participate in the game. No warning about it.

• 42 attempts (2100 credits)
• win 1950 credits
• win 42 cards
• have not gotten the Shelena EX card yet

Essentially 42 cards for 150 credits (less than 4 credits each), so it's proving to be a decent way to build the regular collection; which is nice, but it's not why we're here.

And the previous post is correct: One must be careful so you don't end up buying scratchers for an EX show already in your collection.

Oui, c'est ce qui a été annoncé a plusieurs reprises. Plusieurs collectionneurs ont donc fait un effort conséquent pour obtenir ces EX lors de leur sortie. Mais bien entendu ces shows ne rapportent plus rien pour Totem. Allez, on les remet en jeu! AhAh. Excellente stratégie commerciale, non?
Bien sûr cela peut satisfaire certains nouveaux clients ou ceux qui auraient raté l'évènement.
Mais j'ai comme principe, dans ma vie privée, de fuir les personnes qui reviennent sur leurs promesses. J'ai aussi toujours respecté les miennes, même si cela m'était préjudiciable.
Juste un constat.

Yes, that's what was announced several times. Several collectors have therefore made a significant effort to obtain these EX when they were released. But of course these shows no longer bring anything to Totem. Come on, let's put them back into play! AhAh. Excellent commercial strategy, right?
Of course it can satisfy some new customers or those who would have missed the event.
But I have a principle, in my private life, to flee from people who go back on their promises. I have also always respected mine, even if it was detrimental to me.
Just an observation.

Totem adopte la stratégie de Disney. À l'exception qu'avec Disney vous obtenez assurément leur produit.

Ils sortent ces cartes de la voûte. Dépêchez-vous, car elles vont y retourner pour un autre 10 ans (ou moins avec Totem), avant de ressortir à nouveau.

Tout cela pour faire plus d'argent.

Ce qui me surprend c'est comment cela fonctionne bien, et qu'il y a toujours des personnes pour accepter de dépenser inutilement leurs crédits et surtout leur argent, pour des cartes comme les autres.

Alors tant pis pour ceux qui se font avoir. Ne venez pas vous plaindre. Cette stratégie est vieille comme le premier homme qui a penser dilapider monétairement à rabais son prochain.

Totem n'a jamais tenu parole @Philours, car cela s'est produit avec les premières SEC, qui ne devaient plus être disponible après l'évenement. C'est la même stratégie ici.

Tant qu'il va y avoir des gens pour jouer à ces jeux, ceux-ci vont perdurer, pour le bonheur monétaire de Totem, qui est le vrai gagnant dans ces évènements. Alors pour les promesses de rabais on repassera.

Il y a une phrase qui dit que "Le sexe mène le Monde". Moi je pense que le sexe est le second cerveau de l'homme, qui prend le dessus sur le premier, plus souvent qu'autrement. De là ces incohérences sur le comportement de certains.

Ceux comme Totem, qui savent exploiter ces incohérences en profite. Par contre je n'encourage pas les stratégies parfois "douteuses" de Totem.

Le "gambling" est l'une de celles là. J'encourage plus la vente directe, qui permet vraiment l'obtention de ce qui est proposé. Mais ça c'est mon humble opinion.

Et Dieu sait que Totem "se fout complètement" de mon opinion.


Totem adopts Disney's strategy. Except that with Disney you definitely get their product.

They take these cards out of the vault. Hurry, because they'll go back in for another 10 years (or less with Totem), before coming out again.

All to make more money.

What amazes me is how well this works, and how there are always people willing to spend their credit, and especially their money, on cards like any other.

So much the worse for those who get ripped off. Don't *****. This strategy is as old as the first man to think of squandering his fellow man's money.

Totem never kept its word @Philours, because this happened with the first SECs, which were not to be available after the event. It's the same strategy here.

As long as there are people playing these games, they will continue, to the monetary delight of Totem, who is the real winner in these events. So we'll take a rain check on the promises of discounts.

There's a saying that goes: "Sex rules the world". I think sex is man's second brain, taking over from the first, more often than not. Hence the inconsistencies in some people's behavior.

Those like Totem, who know how to exploit these inconsistencies, benefit. On the other hand, I don't encourage Totem's sometimes "dubious" strategies.

Gambling is one of them. I'm more in favor of direct sales, where you really get what you pay for. But that's my humble opinion.

And God knows Totem doesn't "give a damn" about my opinion.

7 draws for 350 credits brought me 100 credits back, 6 cards (=90 credits) and the EX card I was missing. So the EX card was like 160 credits.

The games give you cards at a variable price, where you could be lucky and get it rather cheap or unlucky and pay a huge amount for it.
With babydolz rewards you can buy a gift card or a joker card. If I use that as a price reference, a SEC card costs 15 times the price of a normal card, which is for me 225 credits instead of 15. An EX card would probably cost even more.

As good as it sounds to directly buy a card, I'm not sure if I would like the price.
If you want a decent price, the only way is to avoid all the specials and NFT stuff.

But maybe Totem could try to offer both, a games and a direct buy option. In the end it's just the math how much they want us to pay.
And for the games I would appreciate to have a better overview of the chances or how many credits you have to spend to reach a goal.

Vu le "bradage" des cartes EX je ne participerai certainement pas aux prochains évènements. Il est regrettable que Totem se renie de cette façon et se moque de ceux qui ont payé le prix fort lors des dits évènements.

Given the "sale" of EX cards I will certainly not participate in the next events. It is unfortunate that Totem denies itself in this way and mocks those who paid the high price during said events.

If you want a decent price, the only way is to avoid all the specials and NFT stuff.

C'est ce que je fait. Je n'achète que les cartes régulières, et j'évite les jeux de hasard et les cartes NFT.

Surtout en tenant compte de la perte monétaire, lorsque je tiens compte du taux de change de mon argent canadien avec le dollar américain et l'Euro, je ne peux me permettre de gaspiller des crédits. Ce doit être terrible pour les gens des pays qui ont une monnaie faible par rapport à ces monnaies, de faire des achats de crédits. Plusieurs doivent avoir abandonné leurs achats.

Imaginez, qu'en plus Totem leur fait gaspiller ceux-ci inutilement par ces tactiques, sans certitude d'obtenir ce qu'ils veulent, dans le but de leur faire acheter de nouveaux crédits. La frustration est totale.

Ceci dit, je ne m'en porte que mieux, ainsi que mon portefeuille évidemment 😊


This is what I do. I only buy the regular cards, and avoid gambling and NFT cards.

Especially considering the monetary loss, when I take into account the exchange rate of my Canadian money with the US dollar and the Euro, I can't afford to waste credit. It must be terrible for people in countries with weak currencies to make credits purchases. Many must have given up their purchases.

Imagine, then, that Totem also makes them waste these credits unnecessarily through these tactics, with no certainty of getting what they want, in order to make them buy new credits. The frustration is total.

That said, I'm all the better for it, and so is my wallet of course 😊

Well, everyone here was incredibly lucky compared to me. I ***** that there is no disclosure about the odds for these games. Seems a bit mean.

I have an advice for all. Stop writing "Awful gambling".

1. If you play this, you are supporting this practice with your money. You have no right to *****.
2. These games are designed to take your credits. If you are rich, you are always a winner. Know your limits.
3. Stick to the cards you want and are on your Wishlist. For this exists Wishlist.
4. You'll regret anyway, because you can't have all the cards you want, because you're not rich.
5. Love Totem and iStripper, and wish them well, for the most beautiful app.

I am poor and happy. Just look at how many cards I have!
All my cards were bought one by one from my Wishlist at the right time when they were discounted and I don't have a single girl I don't like. I bought only what I liked, when I got a certain type of discount.
The whole secret is... Patience.

@Evaneself Well said 👍

I 100% agree with these points @Evaneself
We all vote with our wallets. I absolutely love Totem and iStripper, but I can not stand gambling. As a result, I just buy cards that I can purchase with credits and skip anything related to gambling. I know my limits: No gambling or NFTs for me, but I will buy everything that can be purchased with credits.
I still love Totem and wish them the best of success because I hope that Totem and their products will be around for many years to come.

C'est très bien. Mais pour qu'une société perdure elle doit réaliser du profit. Ce n'est pas avec les achats réguliers ou moins réguliers que vous effectuez que Totem pourra aller de l'avant.
Alors ne condamnez pas les jeux, offres, nft, et tout ce qu'ils proposent. Car ce sont bien les membres qui participent qui font d'iS une société viable a long terme.
Sauf si vous voulez qu'ils répercutent le manque a gagner sur le prix de la carte quotidienne.

That's great. But for a company to survive it must make a profit. It is not with the regular or less regular purchases that you make that Totem will be able to move forward.
So do not condemn the games, offers, nft, and everything they offer. Because it is the members who participate who make iS a viable company in the long term.
Unless you want them to pass on the loss of earnings on the price of the daily card.

True, but I would be more open for a subscribtion where you get the cards without the games. This can be like premium on a monthly basis or perhaps an additional yearly fee.

Peut-être valable pour vous. Le prix serait certainement élevé cependant.
Mais les jeux ne cesseront pas. Certains ne participent que pour la carte proposée et ne veulent pas toutes les offres.

Maybe valid for you. The price would certainly be high though.
But the games will not stop. Some only participate for the card offered and do not want all the offers.

I'm new and I honestly didnt think you could lose at these games... lol. I thought it was just a way for them to sell cards another way. I won 3 cards the first time I played EX and won nothing the next two times. I wont be playing these games again. And as I understand it, this is the only way to get special cards? *****. I guess I wont be getting any special cards.

Hello @Philours
It seems like you missed a keep point of what I said: "but I will buy everything that can be purchased with credits"
I purchased over 6000 cards from Totem. I always end up buying everything that can be purchased normally, and I really hope that Totem is making a profit from regular sales (otherwise that is a very big concern).
I am just against gambling and I do not support NFTs, so I stay away from these practices. I will on the other hand continue to buy everything with credits, so if Totem ever releases more cards per week, I will purchase more from them (even if prices go up).

Edit (additional idea): Maybe Totem could consider releasing 1 additional card per week called "premium" with 1.5 to 2 times more animation clips and photos and charge more for these cards. Maybe the could have "premium" weekly cards featuring best selling models or models of the month. I am sure that there are ways for Totem to sell us more of what we already love, and make more profit in the process
