Promotions, Bots in tournaments, and Responsible Gambling.

I’ve always been a strong supporter of Bigwinboard. Over the years, I’ve signed up and deposited on every single partner site listed here, ensuring that the site benefits through both FTD incentives and revenue share. I try to gamble responsibly and keep my playtime limited, but I also make a point to prioritize the sites connected with this community. That’s why I feel a bit concerned about the direction things have taken lately. The “3 posts per day/infinite posts” promotions, for example, feels like it encourages excessive gambling time, which doesn’t align with responsible play. And i see many players on sites that is not listed here even if changing to their respective country and looking at the available sites, I understand that in some countries regulations complicate things and some sites maybe do not have these new games on the day of release (like the Netherlands), but many players are now active daily on non-Bigwinboard-affiliated accounts, which seems to undermine the community-focused spirit Bigwinboard used to represent. The same issue shows up in tournaments, the ones sponsored by Gamdom. What started as a fun, fresh way to test slots with a bit of chance of winning some cash as a bonus has become overrun with obvious bot accounts. These accounts often then flood the forum with low-quality posts trying to reach the quota, making it useless for genuine members to participate or win. In practice, the leaderboard is filled with users who have little to no real presence in the community even if you place in the list of awarded users almost every other user on that whole list is users who is not even eligible for a prize, the fact that these non eligible users are even listed in the leaderboards is just plain stupid. At the times where i was still playing them i had several times where i maybe finished 10th place (with maybe a 20 $ prize.. but the 9 people above are all users with 0 or 1 posts and they will of course not be able to claim a prize but they still remove the higher prize that i would of gotten if they were not included in the leaderboard) For these reasons, I think promotions should be limited strictly to gambling sites who are affiliated with Bigwinboard, not external sign-up sites. As well as the leaderboard should be coded to not even show or let these users who have not reached the required requirements joining/listed. I’ve always appreciated what Bigwinboard offers and the community it has, but lately, it feels different.. less about the community and more about volume. I don’t think this current approach is the right direction, and I wanted to share my perspective in hopes it resonates with others who feel the same. I think maybe 3-7 total max entries whenever you want is a more reasonable approach and is responsible in terms of non-excessive gambling sessions and mentality then having this play every day approach that we had recently. What do you think?

I would prefer the giveaways to not have max entry limits per day. Either a fixed amount (20 for example which is close to 3 entries per day and 7 days) or just unlimited entries. Its a bit time consuming to each day log in and play just a few rounds of a slot to be able to have the max entries.

In my opinion, the best way to look at the giveaways is as an RTP buff. If i'm playing bee keeper today for example, on a 96% version, until I get my 3 entries for the day I am essentially playing on >100% RTP.

100% this, the comps are generous and odds are fantastic for the random prize ones.

My only gripe is the big win comps being a bit top heavy sometimes when you know someone who has won 7000EUR+ in the past 12 months is going to come at it and outspend you trying to win it because it's profitable for them to play high volume spins or bonus buys knowing more often than not they will win top 3 and come out ahead longterm. Near impossible to compete unless you are willing to risk 4 figures each month.
