    My point is that maybe they're not that "evil"; because this kind of competitions are really frequent on the Internet. Community managers are not as original as we could expect

    In the site I mentioned previously, Prizee.com, they host some competitions where they can have thousands of kids logging everyday during two years just to win a videogame after they spent hundreds of euros in premium text messages

    Heeey, don`t indicate that I think this is "evil". I am a great admirer of NetEnt, they are my favorite provider. I have only said positive things about them on this forum. But I will not use them again until they realizes that this is a low level competition with bad motives.

    Yes, I do understand your view. For me, this is more like a principle thing. This has nothing to do about me feeling sorry for those who can't control themselves. If a player wants to play a slot every single day for a year, then good luck. But I will not use a casino or casino provider that so obviously has made a tournament based on a player's ability for addiction. The motive for a "race" like this has nothing to do with "fun". I like fun games and tournaments. This is just too much. But I know, its not up to me to decide what people think is funny or not. Anyway, the motive here is obvious

    One of the races has now lasted for almost 100 days. 30-40 people has played (there are 30+ people left out of 1283) that slot every single day for 100 days! Hope they have a lot of fun. Crazy.
    ONE of them will ............. eventually


    Given that there are many sites that offer tiny rewards for "just logging in every day", or "doing a search", an eventual 10K for what is pretty much the same is quite attractive.

    The INTENT of course, is to make it a HABIT to log into the casino every day, a bit like some habitually log in to Casinomeister or Facebook every day.

    The only drawback is that once entered you are SHACKLED to your PC, because you dare not miss a single day. THIS is where most players fall away, this is just too onerous a commitment.

    I would approack this differently, and in a way that would NOT shackle me to logging on daily and being forced to never go away for a break.

    I would have MOBILE kit and "backup" kit, so that the task was no more onerous than cleaning my teeth before bed, wherever I was staying.


    The routine might go like:-

    1) Get up
    2) Breakfast
    3) Shave, wash, clean teeth
    4) Log on & win €3
    5) Go out

    4) would be done on a variety of devices, such as PC at home, laptop away, even a smart phone.

    Players with 4) well organised are the ones that could stick it out for YEARS.

    Has one of these contests ever ENDED?

    hehe, funny routine

    I really don`t know if one of these "races" has ended. I might be wrong, but I think that the first race was the Gonzo’s Quest race (09 December 2010-->ongoing).
