I won 83 cards including all the SEC ones well happy

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


Old school copy/paste and use of the quote button at the bottom of this box......

Unfortunately, copy and paste does not work in the GUI. Highlighting the text I wish to copy gives a red highlighting, when right clicking on the highlighted text, the dialogue box with the option to copy appears. When trying to use the paste function, well the supposedly copied text does not appear.

Same with using the copy link function in the drop down menu in the upper right corner of the box.

I have all Melena's other cards. I guess those will have to be enough.
I usually only get cards that I want when they pop up on a flash sale.
I don't want to volunteer to pay extra, or pay for cards I do not want.

label me an upset customer.

@Chicky

Copy and Paste in the GUI use "ctrl" key + "c" key to copy and "Ctrl" key + "v" to paste.

Highlight the text as per the first screencap. Press and hold the "Ctrl" key then press the "c" key. Release the keys.

Go to the "Answer this topic" box and click in the box as if starting a post.

Press and hold the "Ctrl" key and then press the "v" key. The text is pasted at the cursor postiion

When copying a link in the GUI when the box appears to copy the link, do "Ctrl" + "c" to copy the link then click on OK on the copy link box.

Go back to the "Answer this topic" box

Do "Ctrl" + "v" and the link is pasted (as below).

@Number6 , simply amazing. And who says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Started at 641 credits and now I'm at 498. In the span of about 2 hours I won 2 special event cards, purchased 9 recently released shows and 7 VR shows. So at a cost of 143 credits I won product valued at almost 330 credits plus the two specials. Thank you Totem!!

I had a very pleasant evening gambling and watching a lot of the beautiful iStripper girls performing at the same time. Just gotta pace yourselves guys ... set limits and enjoy life.

@number 6,

You are right I did buy 5 tickets! But havingplasyed once with only 2 'S's I don't know how to play again. I seem stuck on the image I posted.

Any ideas as to how to proceed with 4 more goes?

@Donatien , I am not being sarcastic here, but have you tried to scratch off the circles on the card in the image that you posted earlier?

Credits win 2280
card win 69
SEC win 1
Joker 296

Start Credits 400
Buy Credits 500
End Credits 300
total Cost Credits 600

Cost Per Card 600/70=11.42

I would not buy 42 cards only 28 that i mayby would buy.

worst case scenario i pay 600 credits (60 EURO) for Melena Maria Rya.
best case scenario i pay per card 21.42 credits (2.14EURO)

Not the Best investment i ever have done. I hoop i get a joker to make it a little better.

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.

Face it bro, your luck sucks.

I think getting special event cards should be associated with your diamond level or something like that not expensive games. I agree the game is unfair in many ways, but it worked out for me.

As for the other comment; 9lb hammer. Maybe everyone should try some.

This is a porn site and as such I have low expectations of the management doing the right thing about anything that happens here. The only thing that is going to bring about change is a boycott if totem ignores complaints.
I have no intentions of starting or participating in one.

Noooo
io non sono fortunato al gioco
E so già che non avrò la carta speciale
ed una carta di una mia ragazza preferita
BASTA carte speciali che non riesco ad avere !!!!

so here are my statistics from the last scratch game with the ginebra card

509 scratch cards bought
299 losses
125 credit wins (90 x 10, 29 x 50 and 6 x 100)
82 normal cards won
3 special cards (Giinebra was the 3rd special card)

so with all the credit rewards I got this special card after spending 2950 credits. Definitely not buying one of those scratch cards ever again.

@Number6 - I second @Chicsans reply. 50years working on computers and I had forgot those shortcuts.

Still prefer using https://www.istripper.com/forum/index . MUST USE MOUSE. Not really.

Yep been playing it some more here and there and been staying pretty even with random credit wins, have gotten a few cards I hadn't considered or hadn't seen in a while and some were in my wish list. Of course some were the much older cards. Haven't won a special event card, but been picking away at wishlist and some of the preview discounts as the random credit bonuses happen.

I understand all the gripes about it and yeah, some of it could be improved, but another user pointed out well that we did just have a weekend of great savings. And my collection had a big boost. I think the key here is to only spend what you're comfortable losing and don't set out to get the special cards. Just a little bit of thrill. If you get one, great. But don't break the bank doing it. Until there's some more sane way to get those cards, they may as well not exist in my mind.

And another important thing to remember is to take screenshots before completely scratching out the three S's and the prize, in case it doesn't go through. It also happens so fast when it's credits, that you may not notice anything if you get it (since no prompt if you don't have notifications on). Stay aware of your credit balance number before finishing scratching off. Will get rid of *****. Others have said it: If you don't have proof, it doesn't show up in your account history, and Totem doesn't see it. Nothing much can be done.

Bought four cards, took my money. got no scratchers, did get four entries into the Joker event...... NOT a big fan of the SPECIAL EVENT CARDS. Only cards not in my collection and can never seem to win them

This is the first time I have ever commented. Ive been using this app for two years, and I can tell you now, I ***** these stupid events. All I want is the ability to purchase some of these cards. But NOOOOOOO. tHeSe ArE sPeCiAl EvEnT cArDs! Meaning you need to jump through endless hoops and a horribly defined process to obtain them. The mental gymnastics that must have gone into this are staggering.

Heres a simple concept:

I have money. I want to buy one of your cards. You want to make money, SO SELL ME THE CARD! I will gladly pay extra for some of these "special event" cards if necessary. What I dont want to do, is set up a physics lab in my office and gather the best and brightest minds on earth to figure out how this works.

Whoever runs these events should be fired, because no rational person comes up with this garbage.

Au final cette magnifique carte de Melena Maria Rya/hot and roll m'a coûtée 407 crédits.
25 cartes horribles que je ne téléchargerai jamais, merci du cadeau lol.
i$tripper est devenu un casino avec tous ces jeux et c'est bien dommage.
Peu importe des promotions a venir, Je ne rechargerai plus mes crédits.
Bye Bye Totem 👍😄😉

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?

They will, there's no reason to discontinue it at this present time.

:(

Another whole day of complaints to look forward to. And it has spread into other threads too.

Another whole day of complaints to look forward to. And it has spread into other threads too.

Maybe I'll be wrong, but it seems to me that the staff completely ignores all the users complaints.
I tried to post my 2 cents on this matter in forum's other sections: now we see if anyone of Totem will say something about these SECs...

@gkar45

I didn't mean that the situation has to be resolved over the weekend!
In fact, my protest is not aimed at the moderators (who do so much for the forum) or at forum members, but at the core team that produces the shows.
Many other times in the past (and like me many other members) have protested for the SECs' unfair policy, but there has never been a clear and comprehensive reply from the team.
I also work during the week, and I left these messages in the forum, with the hope that the team members can read them and understand that many of us don't like the way SECs are used.
If they want to use them for the game, OK: there is who likes the game.
But they should also give the possibility, perhaps even at a greater cost, to be accessible to ALL that are not gamblers!

P.S.: excuse my low English, I'm not a native speaking (I'm Italian) and I don't like use the translators 'cause the non perfect comprehension of the spoken language...

@gkar45

I don't be able to completely understand what you want to say (too tight language), but it seems to me that you said that this matter has been discussed from many time (as I also said).
Anyway, thanks for your answer and have a nice day!


Non riesco a capire esattamente cosa vuoi dire (linguaggio troppo contratto), ma mi sembra di capire che hai detto che questo argomento è già stato discusso da molto tempo sul forum (come dicevo anche io).
Comunque, grazie per la risposta e buona giornata!

OK, era solo per farti capire che, con una forma linguistica stretta come la tua, il traduttore non serve a molto...
Preferisco quindi usare un Inglese più semplice, ma che può essere facilmente compreso da tutti.
:)

Ariciao!

You really shouldn't feed the trolls.

yep, it translats over & pretty good too, yes, i can understand as to the why

:)

One of the constants I see in many of the complaints is: "I spent 1000 credits or 650 credits" (or much worse) and all I got were a few older cards or a few small 'cash back' wins etc etc etc and no special event card etc etc. How can intelligent people let things get so far out of hand? As far as I can tell there is no gun being held to people's heads, making them to keep pressing the button and further to make them get out their credit card to continue their folly.

I am wondering if there are really that many truly naive people here that really don't know that a scratcher card or a slot machine is real gambling where the odds always favor the house?

Or on the other hand do they realize they are gambling but when the grapes turn sour, they then want to lay the blame on anyone other than themselves for wasting their cash...?

Totem is here to make money. They have a product people seem to want, with a company to make it that has expenses to cover and employees to compensate. This is a business being run as a business and rightly so.

No one is ***** anyone to push the 'buy' button here but every time you do push the button you are further validating this business model 'promotion' as a viable method to make money and increase profits. From my point of view it is pretty easy to infer that this is a money maker for Totem hence the repeat appearances of the apparently popular gambling type promotions seemingly regardless of the vociferous complaints here in the forum.

Don't like the gambling? DON'T DO IT!!!!

But if you do play the game and lose, don't snivel to me about it and then try to blame anyone but yourself for your lost fortune. We are all supposed to be adults here, responsible for our own actions, regardless of how foolish they may end up being. Lick your wounds, learn from them so as not to repeat them and move on.

All this being said, I will also say that I totally agree with @Wyldanimal 's statement about making the 'special event' cards available through a guaranteed method/pathway and not hiding them behind a game of chance. To use my own feelings as a gauge, I would guess that even a large portion the "silent majority" he refers to, that buy the product and play the games but don't comment here, for the most part have a least a little feeling of "shame on you" towards Totem for doing these sorts of open ended 'take advantage of people's weakness' promotions.

If gambling is here to stay and customer satisfaction is a priority for Totem, I would suggest a modification to the gambling promotions where they make some arbitrary point in the process where winning the card/prize is assured. They don't have to publish the point where this happens, only to say that the point exists and let the big gamblers find it and publish it. In other words, you may win the prizes earlier in the gambling process but for sure you will win them if you reach a certain point. There is still the gambling "atmosphere" but sort of a golden parachute at some point along the way. The prizes would still cost way more than they would have normally but at least they are attainable. And once the point is found and published others can decide if they want to go that far for a guaranteed result.

My 2 dollar take on the issue.

PD48

@pumpdude48

👍

I also agree with @Wyldanimal that "SEC" should have a definite path to receiving the card. The "scratch cards" are a no go for me as I value my credits too much to gamble for cards I "may not" receive. I also see at least 2 more "SEC" cards this year coming, so this "business model" will continue..........

To be honest i think the scratchcards give very good value for the credits over all.. I've made it to 155 tries and have gotten 4 SE cards and a ton of extra cards (some are good some are not..) and i'm 300ish credits deep, which means i've paid about 75credits/ SEC (if we calculate ONLY the SECs because those were my goal). Which might seem like a lot, but it is what i was certainly willing to pay.

It all depends on luck, but I do feel like the odds are at least decent enough.
