I am only trying to see which bonus system people prefer.
As always, I appreciate everyone's input here. and pacers you are right. I myself am
not on an anti 3dice rant and rave. honest!
Lauram, thank you that was indeed the purpose of this thread, and I will have to appologize to all of you for my Long winded post that is to follow...
I myself was depositting alot (at least TO ME it was alot of money!) Every month, and I was depositting that mainly to meet my gg high roller bonus WHICH WAS A GUARANTEED $20-$25.. To be given a "$25 scratchcard" that is worth nothing is a slap in the face. IMO
I deposit and play... the slots and games are very, very tight lately. (and I know I am not the only one who thinks this)
I remember back in October, November and December when EVERYONE was raving about winning at 3dice, myself included! And like I said before that "red print" stating "someone just won________ in real money playing ________"' was popping up ALOT in chat! (IMHO at LEAST 4 or 5 times a day back then!) I very, very rarely see it now.
Unlike alot of you I am not thrown a bone here and there. I deposit but I am not thrown a bone
at all anymore. (maybe because of this poll, who knows
)
I do know that ENZO has STILL NOT responded to my PM sent july 18th and again yesterday.
(which brings that great customer service to a halt, at least for me.)
I also feel that 1 deposit match a month is NOT incentive for me to keep depositting at 3dice (but guilty, again I depositted $10 last night. and with it down to under $2 I went to play solitaire.. I have never, ever played a game of solitaire where I had ABSOLUTELY NO MOVE WHAT-SO-EVER from the deal to the last turn over)
I have come into some money, and I am very cautious about WHERE I deposit now. ... 3dice is not at the top of my list anymore. firstly because of the no reply from enzo, secondly I can get 100% here or there, or even get a % back at the end of the week, somewhere else. but most of the offers elsewhere are ongoing,,, not just one.
I did not ask for people to PM me if they had been chosen for the "surprise weekly bonus"
just to see who won it!! I honestly don't care who they were, But I don't know what is going on there and I find it EXTREMELY odd that there were 3 chosen winners in jan/feb and this poll reflects the same number of chosen winners, so I asked that just to clarify that the same 3 who answered in jan/feb, were not the same 3 who answered for this one
I NOW ASSUME THEY ARE.
If they are, then it is NOT WEEKLY!! (which again is misleading)
I think we would all find it more fairly distrubuted if the same players were not chosen over and over for the "surprise weekly bonus".. but that is how 3dice works, apparently.
I see no NEGATIVE to 3dice creating a newsletter. (noone here knows other players assigned "player number" .. ) we know aliases and we know screen names.. but we do not know the number assigned at the time of registration. This would keep names anonymous and inform us of "weekly surprise bonus winners".. therefore, IMHO I see no downside to them creating a monthly newsletter.
Then again they have a forum, and those winners (or even thier player numbers ARE NOT LISTED anywhere in the forum.)
I know with 3dice I am at the bottom of the totem pole. That is more than obvious to me IMO since I can not get Enzo to even respond to my PM.
I was really hoping this poll would reflect more positive feedback. But like I stated before, it seems that the majority of players prefer the old bonus method as opposed to this new one.
I appologize if ANYONE took this as "I want a bonus" or "3dice bashing" as it is neither. I was hoping Enzo would see the results and weigh them as to HOW TO KEEP HIS DEPOSITTING PLAYERS HAPPY!!
YES,,, I AM A DEPOSITTING PLAYER... NO I am not happy losing my deposits all the time with out being thrown a bone here or there. and that is that.
At least with the gg high roller bonus, 3dice was sure I would deposit AT LEAST 300 a month and I was sure I would get a $20-$25 bonus a month.
I know that is still a possibility, but ONLY if I do not take the $25 scratchcard.
IMHO I really did not expect that "scratch card to lose!!!" call me nieve, but if I give up a guaranteed bonus for the gg high roller, I would have thought (especially being called a $25 scratchcard) the scratch card would be worth the amount I forfeited by NOT claiming the high roller.
I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE TO OTHERS BESIDES JUST MYSELF
BUT..Wait... I need someone to clarify this for me, I myself am confused now.
3dice is no longer participating in the gg highroller bonus..
SO it is our point conversion we are giving up!! So WE HAD 2 GUARANTEED BONUSES VIA GG, NOW IF WE ACCEPT THE ONE (POINT CONVERSION) WE DO NOT GET THE SCRATCH CARD!!) Therefore we lost the gg high roller bonus because 3dice no longer wants to participate in that AND IF we convert our points once a month we CAN NOT get the scratch card. (in my case the losing scratch card)
Maybe mine was intended to lose because I was not notified that we could not both convert points AND get the scratch card, so I was given the scratchcard because I was never informed of that fact. (doesn't matter, point conversion lost with not one bonus round, scratchcard lost)
And let us NOT forget.. I know I loved being able to claim an extra couple dollars with my deposit from my accrued comps! Now we don't have that option either.!
in response to this..The
more you play (on your OWN money), the more bonuses you would get.
.. I don't see that result at all..
and
where else can you get a bonus up to 3 TIMES A MONTH for simply doing what you love?
nor do I see this at 3dice, but I do elsewhere. (and I can manage to withdraw from "elsewhere") .. my last withdrawal from 3dice was for $20 because I was afraid at the rate it was going down, it would end up like all my other deposits, In the end that "withdrawal" affected my "level" and any "bonus" I may have been entitled to
, now come one everyone.. 20 bucks and it drops me a level.
This is not the 3dice we all loved and knew...
I see that I get one (1) 100% deposit match WITH WR at the beginning of the month.. WR was the one thing 3dice was SO proud of NOT doing in the beginning.. now the bonuses are WR.
As far as "winning tourneys" this is NOT a no deposit bonus. In order to play VIP tourneys.. you need to deposit.
I will repeat myself when I say the purpose of this poll was so Enzo could see that the Majority of his depositting players are NOT happy with this "new bonus system" .. which as i recall stated "there was always something at the cashier for loyal players"I play there almost 24 hours a day (at times it HAS been 24 hours a day for 3 days straight, dozing off in between while trying to win 1 tourney) how much more loyal can you get? yet there is never anything waiting for me at the cashier.
Take it however you want to. I know the old bonus system I myself enjoyed.
I would deposit $20 claim comps and have a few extra bucks. Every month I claimed my gg high roller, and when the time came I converted my gg points.
HUGE APPOLOGIES TO EVERYONE IF I DERAILED MY OWN THREAD! we were given options to begin with at 3dice, the referal bonuses, the "weekly online winner" bonuses.. I hope this was not just a hook to get us in to play. I really really hope it wasn't.
