No OnE sHoUlD gRiPe AbOuT mOnEy. The ***** you smokin' mate,? They made it more expensive with this "Special Cards plus Gambling" bullshit. I've gone over a thousand scratches, still don't have this event card. I probably won't be using their ***** anymore, this is some goddamned motherfucking bullshit, and they fucking know it.

Melena has 18 other cards. And she has 5 others coming. She will have a total of 23 cards that you could have for $31. You spent $100 just to get one extra card where she has rollerblades which will no doubt restrict her performance and movement. Why did you gamble for such a thing? Now I would get it if it was Kendra Sunderland and it was her first but dayum...paying $100+ for one card when you have 23+ for 3x less.

Already got her other cards. I also paid quite a bit more than 100 for this card and didn't get it. I generally stay away from gambling for this reason, but it just pisses me off so much that they are locking shows I want to see behind ridiculous mechanics designed to drain their customers of cash. Now I've got a crap ton of cards I didn't want, and am no closer to the one I do.

I finally won the missing two special card I wanted but when trying to download it failed saiying download *****!?!?

Forget that!!! My external drive was off... stupid me :(

Wyldanimal. This shows the bottom border of what I see on my computer despite twice quiting iStripper and reinstalling it. The lower part of the full image which on your top right hand image is slightly darker is missing. This means I see no window inviting me to buy a ticket. How Can I resolve this problem?

Starting to really ***** these Special Event Cards, they're fine if you get them from pre-purchasing a month or something like that. But when the Ginebra card was a scratch ticket game, I had super bad luck and spent a lot of money and never won it. Currently on this, 80 scratchers in and down about 200cr so far, no Special Event Card yet. Now there are 2 SEC that I want, even I win one of those jokers, will still only have 1 of them.

Totem really needs to stop this crap. It's incredibly disrepectful to us, the customers.

2nd time I play this scratch game, hoping to get a special card.
Got 47 tickets, down by 150 credits. Got 16 cards I didn't want and no special card.
Is there a way to give back all these unwanted cards? This game sucks. Why not at least give the option to add these cards or not?

I lost 150 credits, which is not much; but more than that, it just wasn't worth it, it's not fun, in the end you just feel like you've been played.

Sorry @arise77. All you can do is consider it a lesson learned. I played one of these contests a long time ago here and, like you, didn't do well. I haven't played since.

Tried my "luck" again, still @#$@$@! by Totem.

275 Tickets
only 16 times did the SEC appear on a ticket, 2 S everytime
Spent a bit over 500 credits, so $50ish USD, 44 Euros, still did not get either of the 2 cards I wanted. I'm an incredibly good customer of Totem, my collection speaks to that and I buy every card that I really want, so all of the cards that I "won" are worthless to me.

This type of contest is as I said in my first post, incredibly disrepectful to the customer. No grocery store, shop, restaurant could ever get away with this type of deal/sale. This isn't even the same as gambling, because the only reason anyone is playing this game is to get one of 2 things: the SEC cards, which can't be acquired in any other way; or a cheap way of filling up their collection, which by the numbers this is a bit more expensive than the special deals/packs that are normally run. In a casino, you are literally just trying to win back money, that's not even possible in this case, as you receive back credits instead of cash.

Totem, you really need to answer the customer complaints about the actual basis for this, instead of ignoring them and only replying to technical questions.

I just rebooted my system then, having quit and then reactivated iStripper, for about 0.5 of a second I saw a window inviting me topurchase more tickets, only for it to be immediately replaced by the the screen image I have already posted above. Perhaps in view of other members frustrations with expenses frutlessly incurred I should count my failure to be able to purchase tickets as the lesser of two evils. :-)

Cheers @ckvghduser for your wise words. I was the same every time this thing appeared. 1st time I played, got 1 card I didn't want then thought "why am I even playing?!" and just stopped. Hadn't played since neither.
This time I set a 150 credit limit, guess I was tempted by the new card and the Joker thing.
Fool me twice...
Lesson learnt! 😜

Triple digit $$$ sinks.

Y'all a joke. No one to blame but yourselves. Don't blame the system.

No sympathies from me.

And to the guy on page 5 saying it's not gambling.... it is.

Really sad to see the bullshit Surprise Mechanics disease spreading from the ***** mobile game industry, to desktop and consoles and now to my favourite stripper app.

@Donatien

You actually appear to have bought a ticket.

first screenshot shows how the desktop looks without a ticket - with the buy button.

That appears to be a actual scratchcard showing on your desktop.

Second screenshot shows the desktop after you have bought a scratchcard. This looks exactly like your screenshot.

Try left clicking your mouse button and running the mouse over one of the small circles (Screenshot 3). If it the circle disappears leaving a symbol then you need to scratch off the other circles and the central prize circle.

Once you have done this you will either win or lose and the ticket will disappear.

You should then be able to see the buy button. It is not visible whilst there is a ticket on the screen.

HTH

Edit

@Donatien

Just had a closer look at your screentshot. Just above the scratchcard and to the right it says ticket 1 of 5. So it looks like you have purchased scratchcards.

I'm not sure because I only bought mine one at a a time but I am guessing you will need to play all 5 before the buy button returns.

It is useless to say: I always said that I don't like games and the event cards! As a long time sampler and a triple diamond you cannot get any card that you want and there is no chance to buy the missing event cards of the favorite models in your collection. I don't like this policy and the complaints this weekend are showing that games and event cards are a mistake, especially if totem is interested in the loyal samplers (triple diamond members)!

I repeat it once more: Stop those event cards and games!

@CieranCongrats mate........you've won somethingA vacation from the forum for the multiple violations of the forum rulesEnjoy the time off

Totally understand member's choice of words were harsh..and as a Mod you have a job to do, but what was stated is exactly how a lot of card buyers here are feeling myself included even though I did not participate in this scratch game, I'll get over it like I have been and move on. Just sayin

As you can see, the 'easy button' for quoting has a lot of room for improvement

Well Guys, 258 attempts later, i got it...

This event is not fun and feels like a money dump, please can we not have this type of event again?

Hey since I can get banned for my "tone" (Wyldanimals terms not mine) towards another member even if they gave me a similar tone first (See my exchange in the special event topic in the platinum section with MuttonJeff) how about you go ahead and watch your tone? If you have a job to do, then do it but I'll be damn watching the mods here to continue to act like hypocrites breaking some of these so called violotions while making similar ones themselves. Which I might add this wasn't the first you or some others have done. Thanks :)

And yes I will let everyone here know I was banned following a warning for using the F word (still dumb cause we are all adults here) cause of some ***** snark I showed towards another member who was giving snark to both me and another member, and I think it's because of all the heavy criticism I gave this "Exclusive Card" business considering Wyldanimal out right admitted they decided to look through all my past post and ban me for my overall conduct

Essentially being a smartass

Now I played 26 times and won Melenas Special card, 2 random cards and all my credits back.
So I paid nothing and have three cards more than before.

... well lucky you! Did you buy an actual lottery ticket yet? ;)

Did you buy an actual lottery ticket yet? ;)

Yes, but there I'm not that lucky 😆

At 30 tickets, winning 9 cards and 150 credits, I dare say the Scratch Card game is already more expensive than buying cards at their regular price (13.75 credits) for me. It's not for lack of cards I still miss from my collection, I reached triple diamond only last month and still have more than half the collection to go.

Strangely, the previous time we had scratchcards, I didn't get any 2-symbol tickets. This time, I had 6 of em..

I would rather pay 3 or 4 times the regular price for a SEC card than gamble for it. I am a collector and buy all the cards available. Will hold on to my credits till end of year and buy what I can. I am done with the gambling schemes of Totem. I came here to buy a product not gamble for it. Imagine if the corner store had beer available and you could only get it with scratch offs like this. Everyone would go somewhere else to get their beer. This is where my mindset is now. Think its time to move on to something else. I ***** to say that as I very much enjoy this product, but this gambling garbage does nothing but make me mad. As others have stated I don't mind things like the December event to buy the pack and get the special card. I can live with that just not gambling.

Already got her other cards. I also paid quite a bit more than 100 for this card and didn't get it. I generally stay away from gambling for this reason, but it just pisses me off so much that they are locking shows I want to see behind ridiculous mechanics designed to drain their customers of cash.

I understand how you feel. I think you should just go and make a playlist with all of her cards and enjoy it for a while. Remind yourself that everything that is in the this "special" card you have already seen. Totem is very smart for this promotion but they aren't evil. They just provided us a week of 20% off of reloads and 25% off of any card we wanted. This is gambling. The house always wins, and sometimes by quite a bit, you might "get away with it" but probability-wise you are going to be frustrated. There is some hope that this type of game will become illegal because it is a lootbox system but I doubt it since istripper only caters to adults.

PS. Totem also tends to release the 2nd card in a series pretty quickly if the 1st card was a special event. This is a nice thing to do because people are so curious about the new set and helps allay some frustrations. Peeps were MAD about red fox and then her second card came out in a few days and the fervor died down.

I 'won' 10 credits, but nothing showed up in my account... didn't take a screenshot so I suppose I lost my credits. How to make people really angry; 101.

It's no fun if all the bells and whistles are broken now is it?

whats a snark?
