    Gee I just joined winster.com about a week ago. I thought it would be a really fun site where I could eventually win something! Now I think it's just a radioactive hornet's nest. I don't think I want to waste my time there anymore.

    You can definitely win prizes..don't get me wrong. And they didn't raise the levels THAT much..1 million for a 5 dollar Amazon card just went up to 1.1...and they took away most of the actual prizes..like the waffle maker and the camera, BUT..they paid in Amazon cards anyway.

    I'll admit..when I joined it was because of a post I saw where someone said they were a member and they made 100 bucks in Amazon cards a month for their 10 dollar investment. I read like there's no tomorrow so I actually spend tons of money at Amazon, so it was a win/win for me. But the fact is, there is no way in the known universe you can make 100/month at the site in a month. It's not possible.

    But if you just like to play, you should definitely join.

    They just recently ditched all the prizes and raised the cost of them...AGAIN.

    The thing about Winster is..if you just want to blow a few a hours a day and in a few months get 5 bucks out of the deal, it's awesome. I actually like it there and will continue to play, however, do NOT let people's claims of "I make 100/month and only spend 10" suck you in.

    THERE WAS A TIME (IF HAD READ OLDER POST -YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THE COMMENTS WHERE WHEN WINSTER WAS GOOD -ABOUT A YR AGO ) WHEN A GOLD MEMBER ( OLDER- GOLD MEMBER-WITH THE OLD 1000 SPINS PER DAY & HIGHER POINTS VALUE & LOWER PRIZE COSTS ) COULD MAKE $100.00 OR ALOT MORE A MONTH IN PRIZES.NOW YOU'RE LUCKY IF YOU MAKE YOUR MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP FEE'S BACK .THEY SCREWED THE PLAYERS AGAIN BY CHANGING THE PRIZES & COST OF THE PRIZES , WHICH IN TURN NOW MAKES IT HARD TO EVEN EARN YOUR MONTHLY FEE'S BACK.YES ALOT OF THE PEOPLE SUCK THERE.THE SITE SUCKS ITSELF AS WELL.MAJOR LAG,MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE WAY THE GAMES ACT.NOW IT SEEMS WINSTER INS'T BOTHERING KEEPING UP WITH THEIR SITE ANYMORE.SEEMS ALL THEY WANT NOW IS YOUR MONEY AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE PLAYERS THEMSELF.
    JOIN OR PLAY FREE,IT DOESN'T MATTER.IF YOUR A "FREE PLAYER",YOU GOT IT MADE.YOU CAN PLAY AND WIN PRIZES FOR FREE.IF YOU PAY,YOU GOTTA PLAY YOUR SPINS EVERYDAY AND PRAY YOU EARN YOUR MONEY BACK NOW.NEWBIES SHOULDN'T TALK ABOUT THINGS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.NEW PLAYERS DO NOT KNOW THE WAY WINSTER ONCE WAS.SO THEY CAN'T SAY WHAT IS OR WHAT WASN'T POSSSIBLE AT ONE TIME.YOUR NEW,YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING BUT WHATEVER HAPPENED DURING THE TIME FRAME YOU SIGNED UP FOR AND NOW.YOUR NOT AN OLDER MEMBER,YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE OLD WINSTER AND ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE GONE ON OVER THE PAST YR OR SO.PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO BE A KNOW IT ALL ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT AND SAY ITS NOT POSSIBLE.AGAIN ANOTHER POINT PROVEN WHY WINSTER SUCKS NOWADAY IS PROVED AGAIN BY A "NEWBIE" PLAYER.THE SAME KNOW IT ALL ATITUDE IS RUNING RABID ALL OVER WINSTER.

    Actually..I'm not a newbie and have been playing at Winster for a long, long time. Possibly before making broad statements such as this you should fact check.

    The point I was making, for people who DID read an older post (and I read this entire thread so..again with the fact checking), you can not AT THIS TIME, make 100 bucks a month.

    You can, however, EASILY making your ten bucks back if you play all your spins, every day..even without playing them all. I actually average about 200K a day and I spend just over 3 hours spinning when you add them up. I do 15 minutes here and a half an hour there.

    I think I got all your concerns in my reply but I most just skimmed your answer because the screaming all caps bothers me.

    I'm sorry you don't like Winster..it's not all bad.

    winster complaints

    I understand that this thread is to complain about winster, and I have done my share being a Gold member with extra spin packs so I pay about $20 a month. I have since June and I have not one month where I did not make more in prizes than I paid, so what do I have to complain about. I feel if I don't like winster, play elsewhere. But also, if you dont want to read about complaints don't come to this website. Fair is fair. I spend 4-6 hours a day playing, mostly cherries, which is where I make the most points. This month, November, I kept track and from Nov 1 at my time to get new spins to this am when I got new spins (Nov 29) I made $50 and paid $20. I also have met a few people, newbies many times lately and older players, who are rude and only out to make money. The winster website makes it clear in their mission statement they are there for fun and to be in an environment where people share their spin results (including wilds and winnies) with each other to make points. It is hard in this greedy world to keep a website that simplistic of course unfortuantely. But go, have fun, share, and if you don't like it go elsewhere. I used the same name here as there so anyone can find me and yell at me if you like, or play with me if you like. Since I am disabled and have no family, right now winster is my place to keep me going and even with all the lag problems, booting problems, programming problems, it is better than nothing just for that. To also be able to make money on a game site is a bonus I am thankful for. Redwinner

    I have just recently joined this sire, and however reading all the postings talking against Winster, I was wondering just how they do it. Every time I am on Winster playing, I see postings on the left hand side how people are winning points, day passes and tickets. The other day a posting said someone won a Kodak digital camera. If this is truly a legitimate site, how in the world do you win all these things if you do not join? I go in everyday just to get my free 200 spins, have actually never purchased anything. I also noticed you win very little free spins and you only get 20 points if you are not a member that pays. I guess my question is: Is this truly a legitimate site or are we all being taken??

    I too am a free member and I love this site (when it's not lagging or going super slow or kicking me out). I find that most of the players are very friendly and helpful. For me, it's not worth being a paying member as I don't have the time to use up that many spins or even to play every day.

    The postings you see on the left are prizes people are cashing out for or when they buy a day pass (or are gifted one). I have cashed out once for an Amazon GC and got it very quickly. Your comment "I also noticed you win very little free spins and you only get 20 points if you are not a member that pays." confuses me. When I play (cherries) I usually earn 5,000 to 10,000 points a day, but that's when I'm in a good room (helpful people and everyone is cooperative). Are you a newbie who just sits and spins or do you try to find out how to get max points? I can't tell you how many times I've seen people not listen to advise given them by more seasoned players and then cash out way too soon, or spin away the high point hands, or ignore trade offers which would help them. Let other players know you're new to the game and would appreciate their adivise and most of the players will be glad to help you.

    I have been a member for sometime, but just started to play the games again because I was invited by a friend. I hear everyone speak of playing "Cherries" and I am not sure what you are speaking of. I usually play the slots and yes everyone is very helpful and for the most part are all team players, but I have never seen any points for 5000 or 10,000 like you say. Please direct me in that direction so I can make all these so called points.

    Cherries is slots. And as a free player, when you get into a good room where they are playing jackpot (everyone helps each other get jps in rotation) it's not unusal to get 2 or 3 jackpots during the course of play. 3 jps are worth almost 5000 points. I was saying that I frequently get 5,000 to 10,000 points total (not in one hand). Paying members get over 6,000 points for one jackpot. HTH

    Yes, I do know what you are saying. I enjoy playing slots, and I have won several jp's in the course of a game, but never did I see that many points. Guess I have to get into better rooms. I was in a good room yesterday where everyone was so helpful and we took turns playing for the jp. I just hope when it comes time to cash in that all these postings I am reading on this forum does not hold true. Thank you......KJE

    The prizes are legit. Most of the people who you see winning the bigger prizes like the digital camera are members who get more spins per day. I've seen lots of free members though earn the initial or smaller prizes such as the $5 Amazon Gift Certificate. But think of it this way. It takes 1,000,000 pts to win that one and they start you off with 700,000. So to win that, you'd need to earn 300,000 pts. Even if you make 10,000 pts a day as a free member, it'll take you 30 days to win that prize. And after you win that prize, it'd take you 110 days to win it again as a free member (because you'd need to earn the full 1,100,000 points instead of just 300,000).

    So to answer your question, yes, the site and prizes are legitimate. But without being a paying member, expect to play for a long time before winning anything. If you enjoy the games and people then it's a no brainer. If not, there are probably better things you can do with your time to earn $5. ;-)
