So I guess we had a great Gates Super Scatter Big Away recently with over 1.1k entries. And that is really awesome.
I noticed it made some regulars unhappy with their feedback posted on the last two pages, while others had mixed feelings.
Personally I kind of had mix feelings about the unlimited entries as well in the very beginning as I initially thought we should do the 1 screenshot per day format, but in the end of the day, I actually enjoyed the competition. It was very challenging and I think I got around 50/60 entries which costed a bit of money,
My final thoughts on the Gates Super Scatter unlimited entries giveaway- It was a bit too long (12 days).
I enjoyed the the competition and it was a good game , but these unlimited format should rather stick to around the 7 days running period.
12 days should maybe follow a 1 entry per day.
Anyone else can maybe suggest how the unlimited entries can be improved, but I think it should stay and having a bit of competion is a good thing.
Nonetheless, thank you @admin for all the giveaways.
@fiekie247 appreciate the feedback buddy. Sometimes the sponsors will have some input too and for them it definitely looks better with more entries and hits. Also, the prize pool was bigger than normal, so that was the reason for a longer giveaway. Still, I will take all your wrote into consideration. Feedback from the community is always highly appreciated 🙂
@admin I figured sponsors have a say as well, hence I was happy with the Gates Giveaway. It was a small suggestion, that if the days were reduced, some other forum regulars might be more acceptive, based on their unhappiness they posted. But I cannot speak for anyone, hence I opened the thread for other players to have their opinions raised here hopefully.
But no matter what giveaway and format you have, I will GTD always participate whether its unlimited entries or not. Besides I liked the Competition this Gates Super Scatter giveaway provided.
Thanks again.
@fiekie247 totally understand buddy and feedback is always helpful in one way or another 🙂
@fiekie247 I can take 1 entry/day. It's not too many and keeps you entertained each day. At 2023 December I won $500 on those type of giveaway here. However it was a daily draw if I am correct. So it needs a little bit more time to organize.
Unlimited is better than daily, I dont really like having to log in daily. If it lasts for seven days and i want 7 entries, then i just rather post them at once. Who cares if someone wants to spend money and post a hundred times, they are here just for fun anyway. Best would obviously be 1 entry per person, but im sure the providers prefer higher post counts

I also like the one screenshot per day format, but providers giving these giveaway wants to see more activity for these sponsored events AFAIK and sometimes Daniel has to incorporate that in how to run the giveaway.
The more activitiy and screenshots the better for @admin to get more giveaways.
That is why Unlimited entries should be 7 days max that way it would be half the entries we had now. And I actually like the unlimited entries.
But I hear you.

Honestly I also prefer the unlimited over the 1 per day giveaway.
What you put in is basically, is what you get out at the end, not always but a good chance to be a positive results.
Honestly I feel Bigwinboard giveaways are the easiest and less challenging comps to win something. Most giveaways are random draw and equal, except for highest multiplier.
Hence I feel the every once in a while unlimited entries giveaway is neccesary and a nice Challenge between the forum members, even if its random draw.
@fiekie247 are you guys a long time players? Let me explain real simple. I spent $70 just to get 3 entries on minimum bet. You can say I was unlucky but I say it's just an average. So you more likely will loose way over $300 on your entries. I know it's good for the provider and everybody else will get just a negative outcome. Even if you win $300. Gambling rule #1: you can't win on a long run. Go ahead spend $1000 on 100 entry and you will be short $700 in the end guaranteed. That's the reason I never chased the biggest win prize. I bet 12 out of 15 winners financially will be looser in this promotion. Sometimes you win but most likely you will loose. You can say it's fun to participate, it's obviously good for the provider but that's all.
I do like the different styles of giveaways. Unlimited entries or not, we all decide if we want to join or not. Many entries does not guarantee a prize, but it makes your chances better. If anyone want to post 100 entries it's up to them. I had 52 entries, and didn't win (I blame chatGTP😂), and most of the winners had way less entries than me. (One with 7, and one with 10 and so on). So no win guarantee here either..You can still win with a single entry.. Anyways, the providers must have their saying here, they are the sponsors. If someone dislike a promo like this - just skip it. There will always be another one that you want to join.
@badger ok, I got your point. Now please be honest and tell me what is your end balance on that 52 entries? How much you spent total and how much you ended up? Did you win or lost overall? You guys acting like you make money on slots machines and happy to get a reason to play more. Here is my strategy 1 entry/person: drop $20 which I more likely will loose and I have 1 entry against 30 or 40 participants. With unlimited entries this looks like 1 entry against 1100. So which is better for players? Do you know what is called "responsible gambling"?

I been gambling since 2015. The good old days where you get excited for a 500x win on CFTBL or some Netent or even Play'n Go for that matter., as Relax, Push, Pragmatic, NCL didnt exist yet. Hell those days MG was tops with their hot mode in some of their releases.
Sometimes I end up with a winning session in some of the giveaways and sometimes in a negative.
I played for this comp at 3 different casinos.
Made 100 euro straight deposit at Bitstarz, that 100 gave me around 30 entries give or take. I got 20x or more base game wins and sometimes I bought bonuses. - I lost the deposit
Gamblezen - 35 euro deposit with 150% bonus - that gave me another 15 or so entries - Just base game wins and natural triggers - Lost the deposit
Stakeprix - 2 deposit of $25 and $30 each. Made $110 and $90 withdrawals. Gave me another 20 entries or so.
I would say I am even for this giveaway. It is about luck and skill(Sometimes I exit the game and come back 20 minutes later and it play better or worse), but one thing, i honestly go look for the 96% RTP version of the game, not that you profit, however the base game 20x wins come more often.
Even when you play games like Pompeii Megareels, you will notice a huge difference in the base game with small or even 100x hit on the 96% compare to the 94% rtp version. Bitstarz has 96% on all PP slots where Stakeprix and Gamblezen 94%.
I will never chased highest multi in giveaways, unless bonus buy is restricted.
@mrclean I'm not new to gambling. I'm totally aware of the fact that we will lose in the long run. However, there are things you can do to get better value. Depo bonuses, join tournaments, play slots on casinos with 96% rtp and so on. This specific slot are quite easy to get +20x win on, and you can get many good basegame hits between bonuses. (Just check out the €500 winner of this promo with his insane basegame hit). That keeps the balance going longer, and that was what happened to me. Did I lost in total on this slot during the promo? Yes, but not much. I would never spend €300 for a chance to win €300. I don't think the guys with almost 100 entries did that either. It just makes no sense.
