Netwinner.com Is Quickly Losing Appeal

Jennifer Sapa
Netwinner.com is quickly losing my interest. If you aren't familiar with netwinner.com it is a free on-line gaming website that allows members to play games with potential cash winnings. Netwinner.com currently has two prize winning games: the Money Wheel and Banko. Money Wheel is a slot machine type of game and Banko is similar to Bingo. Last year, netwinner.com was one of the Internet's best kept secrets. Now that the word is out, the website is losing its appeal.

When I discovered the website in February 2007, I was leery at first because I figured the website was just a scam. I couldn't believe that netwinner.com would give out cash prizes for free. I was very happy to learn that it wasn't a scam. I won an instant $25 prize my first week of playing and received the check in the mail in two weeks. I accumulated enough points in my first month of playing to win a gift card. I received the gift card in less then a month. I enjoyed the website. It was a nice diversion when I was bored at work with an added perk of free money.

Netwinner.com used to have unlimited spins of the Money Wheel. The potential to accumulate points and win instant prizes was great. I guess too many people took advantage of the unlimited spins and won too much money because netwinner.com changed the rules and now limit spins to only 100 spins a day per member. I was disappointed with the change but it didn't really effect me because I doubt I ever played more then 100 times a day. But I still don't like the idea of being limited.

My second disappointment with netwinner.com is the speed on which prizes are delivered. They spoiled me with my first prize because I received it within two weeks. The websites rules say that prizes will be mailed within 60 days. My 2nd and 3rd prize was received in about six weeks. I am still waiting on my prize won in the beginning of September of 2007. Yep, I have been waiting over 90 days for my latest prize. I am have enough points to redeem for another gift card but I am waiting to see if I receive my other one first. I have e-mailed the fulfillment center to check on the status of my gift card several times and have not received a response yet.

I still play netwinner.com but not as much as I used to. I haven't given up on them yet but they are no longer my favorite gaming website. I am now addicted to club.live.com.

    I am not a cheater!! I was the one cheated by NetWinner..

    I hit the Banko Jackpot for $1.7 million dollars and was told, "It's a glitch in the game, you didn't really win the Jackpot." So I decompiled the game using the free trial of sothink software to get the games structure, and decompiled the actionscript with flare software so I can see the source code of the game. What I unraveled is.. What they were claiming was a glitch wasn't a glitch at all. The game was built to do that so they can pass it off as a glitch in the game.

    When I contacted the sites administrator about what I found in the source code he agreed with my findings and stated, of course we can control who will win and what they will win. We would have to be retarded if we didn't.

    Then I was banned of the site for "Cheating, false information, inappropriate pictures on my profile, and (black language)" which I did neither of those. Decompiling the game was not a violation of the TOU so they had to make somethi

    Yeah Bobt,most mods at Netwinner (like yourself) are still trying to promote netloser ,even after they screwed 1000s of members outta their cash prizes that were already won .Also you mods ARE the ONLY ONES that may still get your money when you win .....(the owner of the site must have 2 or 3 that will try to keep promoting their fraudulent site ).....All the accused "cheaters" ,including me ,have filled complaints with the BBB, FTC, and attorney Generals office . Yes, I will continue my mission of spreading the word all over the net ,and you wanna talk about degrading ????? What about how MJP ,you, and other mods have LIED FOR MONTHS to all us loyal players about ," ALL WINNERS WILL BE PAID" ???? What about the Email from the COO of the company telling members they would NOT be getting their prizes that they had already redeemed for and had been waiting months for ???? And last but not least ,at the end of that Email, he staes ," WE SURE HOPE YOU ENOYED RECIEVING THIS NEWSLETTER" ???

    perhaps bobt would like to comment on the events in the past week from netwinner.com. how the president and coo of the company has decided that they would indeed not pay any of the members because they have found that 40% have been caught cheating. i would ( and i am sure others would ) like to know how netwinner can justify not paying the 60% of us that have been playing honestly. you state that netwinner has always and will always pay their members. i say that is a false statement as what has happened in the past week will surly show. you want to continue supporting netwinner be my guest but anyone who stumbles on this be aware netwinner does not pay. they have with out a doubt scammed each and every one of us honest members and they have done so with the help of those like bobt who gains referrals for each and every person that signs up for netwinner without a referral code. so yes bobt i can understand your wanting to make netwinner sound good. like most of the mods at netwinner (

    Nothing personal. Just stating the facts as I know them. All I said was "I've seen it many times". There are many players like myself who have been with Netwinner a long time even though Netwinner's had "growing pains", have never found them to be dishonest or a scam in anyway.

  • missj19753/21/2008

    To BobT, I am glad you have had such luck with netwinner. But please remember everyone has a right to an opinion. Just because someone doesn't like netwinner, doesn't mean they are a cheat and are trying to defame netwinner. I am sure you weren't calling me a cheater but I still take offense at your comment. Are you not being a little hypocritical by trying to discredit people who try discredit netwinner in your eyes?

  • BobT3/20/2008

    I've been play Netwinner since Sept 06' and as stated above have won "A Lot". I've seen it many times that those who continue to blast Netwinner calling them dishonest and a scam are in fact the same people who in fact were caught cheating. They steal from both Netwinner and other players by attempting to cheat which not only steals from Netwinner but also takes winnings away from legitimate players. Then they get disgruntled because they can no longer play and attempt to degrade Netwinners reputation.

    I"ve been playing, still play and will continue to play. I've gotten my prizes, still get them and thourghly expect to continue to receive them!

    I also, still actively maintain and promote Netwinner at: http://NetwinnerSites.com after 18 months of membership there.
