NetWinners

[Andrea]

Hey guys I was just wondering who else feels like giving up on netwinners now that they changed the 10 pionts and now you have to have 100,000 pints to cash out ???

I'm not happy about it. I have done pretty well on Netwinner, I have cashed out for 2-$25 cards since I started playing in February. And I have done pretty good with points...averaging over 800 points a day using all my cards/spins. When I played today, I only won about 100 points and 5 entries(whatever those are). I'll give it another couple of days to see how my points accumulate.

I'm not happy either. I was close to cashing out for a $50 card and obviously that won't be happening. Today I did all 100 spins and I got 25 pts and 8 entries.

Here are our totals for today with the new changes:

Me: Banko - 125 points and one entry
Moneywheel - 75 points and three entries


DD: Banko - 25 points and four entries
Moneywheel - 50 points and eight entries

At this rate it will take us more than a year to reach the 100,000 points needed to cashout. My DH is playing Banko now and the Cashout button is not working so he has lost his winnings on the last two cards.

 

[Tantor]

not happy. Hate it. Not sure how much longer I will stick with it.

 

[vanyel]

Today - just did Banko.

Me - 100 pts. Continued on 3 entries and lost.

DH - 75 on Banko. 7 cards with nothing!

Yesterday.

Banko: 250
MW, 100 spins: 3 entries, one on a 10X multiplier, 25 pts.


Enough said.

I was never a serious player and after almost 1 year just cashed out so with that said I'm not noticing a huge difference in my points so it doesn't bug me too much. Also I just spend an hour yesterday entering in $25 gift cards to pay down my disney trip so I actually like the larger cashout option. The smaller cards were a pain and if netwinner still did $25 cashouts I'd still be getting them and turning them into $25 disney gcs. Now I'll just wait till $100 and get 1 disney gc for $100.

I'm in the same boat as you. With these new changes I have gone from making 500-1000 points a day down to 200 points or less. Today on Banko I had 9 cards that registered a big fat 0. I didn't even get a raffle entry. On the 10th card I finally hit a 50 pointer. The Moneywheel wasn't much better. About 150 points and 6 raffle entries.
I currently have just over 10,000 points and need another 90,000 to cash out. If I continue to only average 200 points a day, it will take me almost a year and a half to reach the cashout level.

Yeah. I am pretty discouraged right now. I averaged over 800 points a day with my 10 cards and 100 spins. Now, I'm lucky if I get 200 a day. I'll give it another week to see if things improve. If not, it is just wasting too much of my time.

It seems to me that they did not think things through before they made these changes. When you get the multiplier on an entry win, that doesn't get multiplied. Also, how does the referral % work with the entry wins? If one of my referrals gets 4 entries for the day, does that mean I have .4 of one entry? Or if my referral should get lucky and win one of the ecount cards, do I get 10% of that?

 

[vanyel]

All of the above! I was averaging anywhere between 400 pt (when I didn't do all the money wheel) and 1000 pts per day. My referrals don't want to play since they just started and they only have between 5000 and 15000 pts. 100,000 seems just too far away to mean anything.

Plus, I feel like I can't complain since NW is a partner with SR. I know it's a free site/free money but I've invested a lot of time watching those ads since last year. I cashed out once for $25 but haven't gotten the e-count card yet.

For now, I'll still play banko at least and see how things go. My referrals are probably giving up.

And, since I'm on a roll, that entry thing.... Ok, give me an entry for 10 pts but it's just not fair when you get the multiplier. I lost a lot of points over that this weekend and so did my dh.

In reading nw's forums, it sounded like a lot of the problem came from people who had tons of referrals - reminded me a bit of a pyramid scheme. Even if they said "one membership per household" - I'd understand that. And, I understand changes, but these are excessive changes.

 

[Kycha]

Well...things have improved over the last two days. I made around 500 points each day. Not as good as the 800+ I would get before the change...but its much better than the 100 or so I was making right after the change.

Moneywheel is still a bust for me. Before the changes, I would make the majority of my points from MW. Now, I'm making most of my points from Banko and getting about 25 points off MW.

So, I'll keep plugging away for now. I may just end up dropping Moneywheel and concentrate only on Banko.

 

[Tantor]

well banko error-ed on me 4 times today and I ended up with nuthin

I got 325 on the Moneywheel. We will see what the rest of the week brings

 

[vanyel]

Banko was a bust for me today. 25 pts, that's it. DH got 75 and 1 entry.

MW - so far I'm at 50 spins and I've gotten 3 entries. DH probably won't do MW - he says it's too time consuming.

 

[Andrea]

i got 0 points on banko with all 10 cards and now i have done around 30 spins and nothing...

I'm just worried that all these changes are a big red flag that they're running out of money and that they're going to stiff everyone who's waiting for cashouts. I'm waiting on $375 that I really wanted to use for our December trip, but at this point, I figure I probably won't ever get it.

Maybe I'll use it for Christmas shopping if it ever actually shows up.

That's my concern as well. I just don't understand why they didn't make changes sooner than this. They have obviously been struggling to meet the cashout demands for awhile now. They should have put a limit on the spins/cards a long time ago. I have only been playing since February and in those 2 months I have been reading over and over again how far behind they are with cashouts. Why would they wait til now to increase the cashout limit?

Time will tell I guess. From what I can tell over on their forums, the last cashouts paid were from 11/5/07...and that was paid back in the beginning of March.

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

WHAT!!!!
I finally reached 25,000 points but have been so busy at work I forgot to cash out....... AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

OK I only reached 20,000 I am not so upset about it now LOL

 

[jiminy14]

Well, I'm still struggling to make 200 points a day. Today I made 250 between Banko and the Moneywheel. I also had two 25x the daily entry which was another disappointment. It has taken me a week to earn 1000 points which I used to earn in two days before the changes. I think I'll give it one more week before throwing in the towel.
Netwinner still owes me $300 on my ecount card which I am sure I will not see before August, if at all.

 

[vanyel]

DH got a MW hit for 625 pts but it wasn't until he was down to 30. Thank goodness, he's my referral! Yes, I too wonder about the payouts

ITA!! They knew they were in trouble ... they should've put the brakes on months ago.

I'm going to keep playing until it becomes clear that they're not going to pay, only in the hopes that if I keep clicking on the ads they'll end up with enough revenue to pay all of us they owe.
