NetWinner

http://jackpot.netwinner.com

Join Netwinner and win cash or points by playing a lottery-type game. Points can be redeemed for gift cards from Target, Home Depot, Bath & Body Works, Walmart, Barnes & Nobles and more, when a minimum of 25,000 points ($25) has been accumulated.

Members earn 500 points for each person they refer, as well as 10% of referral winnings. New members receive 1000 points. You must be 18 or older and from the United States or Canada (except Quebec) to join.

UPDATE: Netwinner might be a scam. I’ve read a number of complaints about members not getting paid for months or getting suspended for no reason. Some reviews can be found here and here. If you have any experience with Netwinner, feel free to leave a comment.

    I can attest to the fact that Netwinner is a scam. Won a bit, locked out for no reason. Don’t waste your time or help these thieves out.

    Yep netwinner is a scam. Their latest plot? Over 2 months behind in gift cards. You email and never get a reply. Then of you email again they lock your account for no reason. I know of 7 accounts locked today for no reason.

    My account has not been locked and I have recieved 3 25$ gift cards already. I’m really not sure why other people are not having success. It does take a while to rack up the points but I did get paid in the end. It took 2 months to get my gift cards but they did come in the mail.

    Netwinner isn’t a scam. I got 100 dollars wal-mart gift card

    Netwinner definitely isn’t a scam. I just received my walmart gift card 2 weeks ago from them. They are taking a little longer to send out the cards due to some problems but everyone will get paid. People just need to learn a little patience. These cards are free and no one forced you to sit there and earn them. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth people.

    Netwinner most definitely IS a scam. The reason they are taking longer to send out cards is because they probably have run out of money again. Last time they ran out they locked quite a few accounts to avoid payment, and then redeveloped the game to limit the amount of spins. Wonder what will happen after this round.

    The new Banko game has been decompiled and found to be a complete fraud at all levels. If you have a wining ticket, the game will start drawing blanks instead of letting you win. There is absolutely no way to win, but feel free to continue playing, allowing these scumbags to make more money off of you.

    Please open your eyes and look at the facts.

    I HAVE ALOT OF DOUBTS ABOUT THE HONESTY OF THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THIS SITE. IT SHOULD NEVER TAKE MONTHS TO SEND OUT GIFT CARDS THAT IT TAKES MONTHS TO EARN! MOST DAYS I CAN SPEND 8-10 HOURS AND THE GAME WILL NOT EVEN LOAD TO ALLOW YOU TO PLAY. IT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER.

    Did anyone know the owner and registered agent of the business is a well known porn king in North Carolina?
    Yeah he goes by Scott Coffman but full name is Raymond S. Coffman. He did an article with a local firm about his problems and money issues with porn not paying off.
    Appears the gaming has.

    So would advetisers agree with the porn king?

    Yep seems to me netwinner is always having one issue or another. I think they are Full of crap. Now they are over 100 days behind from what i have heard.

    Also I am one of the people who got locked down with out so much as an explanation other then being accused of cheating and sicne i only cashed out 2 times in 6 months for $25 I doubt that. I was just vocal and got people thinking so they got rid of me.

  13. me said,

    December 15, 2007 @ 12:16 pm

    I have cashed out almost 5 months ago and received nothing! They said they mailed my $25 card on 9/28, but apparently most if not all cards mailed on that day were lost by the post office (that’s Netwinner’s excuse). The cards were never mailed!!!!!

    I won the NetWinner Banko jackpot tonight and it was over a million dollars. The game had played just fine all night up until that point and then suddenly it *glitched* (THEY CHEATED). No cash/out option appeared. I am furious. I hope they get shut down. I am posting wherever I can about these CROOKS. Netwinner, prizevillage, etc… ALL CROOKS!!!

    January 7, 2008 @ 12:15 pm

    SCAMMER, how did you win the JP on Banko??
    It never even gets close to letting me win. The most pionts it’s even given me (or anyone else I have talked to) is 500. I won 1000 points once on the wheel.
    I have heard many complaints anything over 1000 pionts, it freezes, or worse yet continues to play when you try to cash out.
    I was considering trying to get GC’s this way, yet I hear SO many conflicting stories, I don’t want to waste my time.
    There are so many legit sites out there (I have won from AND recieved my prizes) that I dont know why ANYONE would waste their time on netwinner. It takes WAY to long to accumilate points.
    Don’t waste your time people. : (

  16. captainS said,

    January 7, 2008 @ 12:17 pm

    and if you want a list of sites that I have won from AND recieved what I won then email me at choogwer@twcny.rr.com AND/OR if you have a list of sites that you have won from and received what you won, feel free to share.
    Get the word out about LEGIT places. I have won, it can be done, but not at places like netwinner.

    Netwinner DOES pay, my hubby and I have received over $500 in giftcards and cash in the last year, if accounts get locked and people don’t get paid it is because they were caught cheating and they get pissed off and go all over the net bad mouthing Netwinner. So if you join Netwinner, don’t cheat and you won’t have any problems!

    I’ve been playing netwinner for over a year and have won over $800. Netwinner does pay players. The change over to the debit cards took longer than anticipated but they are going out as we speak.

    Netwinner is not a scam - I have received $300 for walmart and by end of week or early next week will receive another $175 and have enough points to cash out for another $450. It seems odd that the people that claim they played there and got their accounts terminated are not using the same name they used playing there. If you had your accounts terminated there was obviously a reason but I notice you all just claim it was for no reason at all - makes you go hmmmmmmmmm.

    I agree with some of the new entries. If I’m being scammed, then I am sure having fun getting scammed. I’ve received over $225 in gift cards. The latest card I received was the ecount Mastercard debit card - that arrived on 1/20/08! To me, Netwinner is the best site around. They do pay!

    Netwinner- NO scam at all! Could not believe the negative comments. I have been a member for more than a year and have won over $500. When I am clicking….I also read and post on the forums and also chat. Where else can you have fun and earn giftcards just for clicking???

    January 23, 2008 @ 7:09 pm

    Netwinner is NOT a scam!!! I have been paid all that is owed to me with the exception of some of the money on the Ecount Mastercard. I have received my first one and my next reload should be due in a week or two.

    They are LEGIT!!! They just don’t pay cheaters!

    And Banko…it is still in Beta,so there are glitches.

    When your account gets locked at Netwinner its for a reason. either you made fake referrals, used a bot to play or cheated in the contests. they don’t ban you for nothing. i have always got my money and gift cards from them the reason is I don’t cheat

    everyone knows cheaters never win

    so Netwinner is not a scam
    cheaters are

    Netwinner is totally awesome. I have won a total of $1550.00. I have received 90% so far. I have just cashed out on the rest and I will get it shortly. I have received a debit card, $75 in cash, Walmart cards,target cards and coffee cards. They have over 42 sites to play from. It is the best ever.

    January 26, 2008 @ 8:33 pm

    ok, you all seem like a bunch of complainers and thats probably what got you kicked out. this is a FREE game to play, no one forced you to play it. maybe if you all didnt complain so much as to where the mods had to read this crap they could’ve gotten your giftcards out alot sooner, oh, by the way have over $100 here :p and $75 of that is on my new e count master card. you should’ve had a little patientce, and for those of you that got locked out for just “no reason”, yeah right. common, can anyone say cheater? just because you dont cash out for alot dosent mean you wont get caught for having more than one window open. ugh, some people…………………..
    i LOVE netwinner! they are giving FREE gift cards to those that arent ungrateful unpatient complainers, or cheaters. ROCK ON NETWINNER!!

  40. rjblueyes said,

    January 26, 2008 @ 8:39 pm

    oh, yeah, i did miss out on 15,000 on banko. this is a new game, and it is in beta. they are working to fix the glitch as fast as they can. ask any computer programmer how easy it is to fix a glitch or find a bug and fix it. IT IS NOT EASY! there are thousands of lines of code. i mean seriously, lets see you guys do it in a day. the programmers ARE human beings and make mistakes. and i have won on banko also. so it’s not like it takes it away everytime you play. i won 10,000 on banko. yes it made me mad to loose that 15,000, but i kept playing and i knew that banko was still in it’s early stages. even video games have glitches, and alot of people play those ALL day and what do you get from that?

  41. Bryan said,

    January 26, 2008 @ 9:15 pm

    Totally not a scam! I have won $425 since 10/06. The only people who have had accounts suspended were those suspected of using automated programs to play or other methods of cheating.

    January 27, 2008 @ 10:12 pm

    Funny about the negative comments regarding Netwinner. I have won over $500 and never had a problem! Guess the above negative posts are from folks that were caught trying to cheat or just plain impatient. Too bad….they are missing out on a good thing….clicking for fun and giftcards and not having to pay a thing!

  43. lissaj said,

    I have been on Netwinner for 1 year and finally started gaining enough points to start redeeming…I chose the Master/Debit Card…I’ve heard enough negatives that I asked support how the card works…They never answered..On a CHAT forum that they had, I asked one how it works (apparently she’s a spy on chat) and she said they do not know how it works…My question is how can they offer something that they know nothing about !!??!! Right there, I became very suspicious…By accident i found My Lots website and they offered other MoneyWheels & Bango’s and I started playing them, and again found by accident a site called Gather (www.gather.com) that offered 42 sites of Money Wheels and Bango’s !! So I started playing them and doing quite well and redeemed even more points…But now, NetWinner again has put their claws in and you are only allowed to play one Bango and one MoneyWheel per day !!!!!!!!!!!!! I sent them about 20 emails asking why this has happened and out of the 20, I only received one reply for them, but it wasn’t for me or my question, they answered someone else’s question !! Than they wrote back and told me that and NEVER ANSWERED MY QUESTION !! Must be they’ve got the aliens in there working…alot cheeper than hiring a well spoken American !! What is going on with them ? Why are they doing this to us ? I want to hear other complaints on NetWinner !! And if they are cheating us, we need to ban together and have them investigated for FRAUD !!

    I have played netwinnner for about a year and a half and I can tell you it is not a scam. Those getting banned or suspended may have been cheating - they do check for that. I can say I have received rewards, and am awaiting more. There has been a serious delay in sending out rewards in the past 6 months, but it is being remedied and gets better each week. Many people who have waited a good while are now receiving their rewards. It is slow, but they are coming. I am willing to be patient because I get all this FOR FREE!

    I have been playing Netwinner for over a year–have redeemed and RECEIVED several giftcards—the last one did take longer than usual–but the issue was addressed MANY times in the forums, and the process appears to be getting faster regularly. I have never NOT had a question or issue addressed either by support or on the forum. the new limits on playing were also addressed in the forums—it’s unfortunate that some people made this necessary because of cheating. overall tho Netwinner is great and has many wonderful members–time after time in the chat room have myself asked for help or seeen someone else do so and always seems to be several person who quickly offer assistance.

    I have thought about this I have had alot of glitches playing this game

    if i creied and whined about how many times i should have got that $500 4 corner win that banko didnt acknowledge I would be a miserable person.

    I knew before Banko was released there would be glitches we have said there would be glitchs but we also said that you will get points for wins it does aknowlede and there have been alot of cash prizes more now then ever before.

    so i dont see why anyone would complain i have won over $1200 in prizes since i joined and if they where cheating players then im sure i would have never have gotten a dime of the prizes i have won.

    none of us say you have to play netwinner we have all explained a million times what a glitch is and what beta means

    that should explain it all.

    but we all also have to remember we cant please everyone because even if netwinner had NO glitches here would be someone complaining about something else

    like the wheel is not fast enough and not every spin is win

    the complaining will never end we just have to all understand what it takes for netwinner to do to make this site great and its not possable to just create a game and it be perfect come on look at Windows vista LOL bill gates is a genius andvista still aint bug freeI have thought about this I have had alot of glitches playing this game posted by one of their mods Shelly021105

    If you post in their forum be prepared for the mods to be rude and very undefined. Seems they need to control their mods more than players. This one in particular has posted many remarks towards players and how they should be thankful for a free site. Forums are meant to provide users with answers and understanding not people who can not even spell correctly yet alone speak to ‘we’ the players in such a compelling way. Best to shut up and play the game than say they are rude to us for posting in such a manner fit for a kids site.

    NW is not a scam. I’ve been a member since August ‘06 and have received all of the gift cards I have won,except for the ones from Oct.’07-Jan.’08,due to the Ecount backlog. I have no doubt that I will receive those as well.

    I don’t think they suspend your account “for no reason”. There’s more to the story…

  53. Genericwinner said,

    Netwinner is the biggest scam. In their forum i was saying how i think it is a scam and they closed my account, and didnt get my rewards!! And Mike their moderator had the nerve to say he was gonna sue me for exercising my right of freedom of speech, what a nerd. No one go on netwinner it is a scam, there is no money to be won anymore, it is a complete waste of time. I am in the process of sueing them and I am contacting their advertisers and telling them how bad netwinner is.

  54. Petey said,

    March 4, 2008 @ 1:20 pm

    I want to say with regard to the moderators at Netwinner, I find that with the exceptions being Shelley and Mike, the other moderators seem to genuinely want to be helpful. Perhaps its these two having too much control over what the moderators can and can not say.
    My biggest concern is thatI still do not see anyone giving any straight answers with regard to pay outs. It appears the payout fulfillment rate is that it takes 3 weeks to process 1 weeks worth of cash outs. When you factor in the fact that they are right now processing cash outs from the first week of October, they are still some 5 months behind. And for most of these players the TOS at the time of their cash outs was 30 days not 90. They keep pushing back to TOS instead of catching up on their overdue payments. This has got to be either gross incompetence or simply a lack of funds. A little honestly with regards to this would certainly be refreshing.

    By leveraging Ecount’s experience and proprietary prepaid technology, the free-to-play NetWinner is moving ahead in building its unique brand while taking advantage of a more immediate and economical payment delivery system that will benefit its growing legion of game players.

    “NetWinner, like many of our clients, relies on providing a popular and convenient reward for customer acquisition,” stated Matt Gillin, CEO of Ecount. “By offering their audience a cash reward, immediately delivered on a prepaid card, our clients are able to provide the optimal user experience. Merging NetWinner’s technology with Ecount’s Prepaid Solution provides a sophisticated program that can be rapidly fulfilled and scaled as they continue to grow and capture the market.”

    from the new Netwinner blog….immediate payment?

  57. The_Truth said,

    Netwinner continues to go downhill. The large spurt of positive statements above were added when Netscammer basically paid people to go out and spam forums and say nice things to help combat the truth. Wether you wish to believe or not, accounts have been locked out for no reason, other then to avoid payment. They keep cutting the amount of play back while blaming the players for winning too much. If Mike and Shelley spent half as much time trying to improve Netscammer as they do belittling the posters in the forum, Netscammer might not have gone down the tubes the way it has. How far back are the payouts, 6 months now?

    The Internet is bad enough without garbage sites like Netscammer being allowed to operate.

    Well I have been a member since 2007 and havne really acutlaly started plaing really good til last eek sometime. i have not won anything yet, but I am at about 20,345 pts, something like that. I just pray that I am not wasting my time on the game. I hear a lot of positive things, but I was wondering about the whole cheating thing that people are talking about. I have had other windows open while playing netwinner, so does that mean that I am a cheater?
    I have had windows open playing othe games or chexking my email and stuff. I have had something pop up saying that two windos cannot be opened at once, but at the time the time that it says that i had just opened the netwinner page to play the game. Can someone pls tell me what the error means, and what windows are not supposed to be opened while playing the game? I sure don’t want to be accused of cheating if i’m only just trying to log in to the game. thanks!

    I got my first 2 gift cards fairly promptly, but still haven’t received the ECOUNT card I rerquested Nov 5 ‘07. They don’t respond to my emails. Has anyone gotten anything lately?

  60. pamida13 said,

    May 13, 2008 @ 9:05 am

    Yes I got something latley an email saying my ecount card is not coming and they gave me double points back. I played all of 2007 and cashed out for a total of $225.00 I did get the gamequest prize but the other prized never came and the ecount mastercard was cancelled. I would not be upset over it had it not been for the fact I read posts from people who cashed out for reloads after I had cashed out for the card they got reloads but the people who were waiting for the card were passed over!! I would have been just as happy had they offered me the game quest card in exchange for the now defunked mastercard.
    I knew that this would happen anytime you give away gift cards at an online game site they get swamped. I stopped playing after waiting 4 months for prizes that never came. Guess that is life it would have been better for netwinner to have just admited they had no money and were over their heads instead of giving excuses and empty promises to their players.

    UGH—please delete my prior comments or something!! I have just quit Netwinner because of what they did to their loyal players May 12, 2008. AS of that date, all pending redemptions/cashouts for E-count cards/reloads were TAKEN AWAY and replaced with double points.

    What’s more, they also did away with the only remaining cashout for E-count card ($100/100,000 points)!! So my “processing” $200 in E-count reloads were turned into 400,000 points that I can enter for some funky raffle prize.

    I’m done with Netwinner and I was one of the most loyal. This time they have gone too far.

    Big Scam - I have filed a complaint with the BBB in North Carolina and suggest all that got ripped off do the same thing - not sure what good it will do but can’t hurt any - I believed in them and over time accepted the changes that had been made but to take away my $225 in cards that I was expecting and turning them into useless prizes took the cake - check out the prizes you can now win oil - is that so they can screw us more.

    I agree, it has become a scam. I did get a 50.00 gift card in late 2006, after about a 2 month wait.
    This time I was waiting for a 50.00 debit card for a couple of months before finding out that the card would not be sent. Instead I got double points and the only options for those is to use them to enter a drawing for prizes. What a rip off
    I checked them out at the BBB and they have a unsatisfactory rating, no wonder!

    I take back my words/post of 23 Jan 08 saying that NW was not a scam - at that time I received my initial ecard - they have since screwed their members and now even offer oil as a raffle prize - guess that is to make screwing the members a little easier on them.

    How do u spell fraud - I spell it NETWINNER - unless you a bum buddy you did not/will not get paid - trust me I know and have proof that will be used unless my ecount card has my funds put on it in 3 days and I have emailed support and told them this.

    I believe netwinner to be a scam as well. Twice in one night while playing banko I hit bingo and should have won $250. They said it was a glitch but I had my doubts. Also my brother cashed out for a $25 gift card over 3 months ago and has yet to receive a thing. Now I emailed them three times and they were threatening to close my account but they didn’t. And now I see they aren’t offering gift cards anymore at all but entries into drawing. I don’t think so, I have opened my eyes and they can shove my 45000 points up they backsides.

    I can attest to the fact that Netwinner is a scam. Won a bit, locked out for no reason. Don’t waste your time or help these thieves out.

    When your account gets locked at Netwinner its for a reason. either you made fake referrals, used a bot to play or cheated in the contests. they don’t ban you for nothing. i have always got my money and gift cards from them the reason is I don’t cheat

    everyone knows cheaters never win

    so Netwinner is not a scam
    cheaters are

    The above statement is from a Netwinner Mod (shelly021105). I believe they may even be an employee now, but I cannot confirm that.

    Hmmm..no one listened to me when I first posted. Everyone jumped on the bandwagon and called me a cheater. They cheated me out of over $425. I think we all know who the cheates are now.

    My new phrase for getting scammed, “I’ve been Netwinner’ed!”

    If cheaters never win, then Netwinner is dead in the water!!! No one is getting paid anymore, all prizes were canceled and double the points you tried to redeem were added back into your account to use in raffles. RAFFLES. You have GOT to be kidding me. I didn’t sit through all those boring games and the same ads over and over again for raffle tickets. The TOS I operated under for every minuted I participated and when I cashed out said I would be paid. The payments offered were debit and gift cards, not raffle tickets. No longer will I refer to this site as playing for prizes, it was most definitely clicking for payment.

    People, this is NOT free money, this is a PTC with a twist, instead of just watching an ad, you also play a rigged game and hope for some points. Why do you think the games are so slow? They are deliberately timed to get paid from the advertiser. They are proven to be rigged and admitted by Netwinner to be rigged. They have all the ways to cheat, and clearly, they are. What is the first thing cheaters do to avoid being caught? Cheaters of any kind….in a relationship, at work, in a game….they all point at everyone else and shout as loud as they can….THEY are CHEATING. In the letter explaining this latest bonehead move of taking away all the redemptions and returning points, they said they had *discovered* over 40% of the players were cheaters. I wouldn’t even begin to know how to go about cheating, but apparently nearly half the *players* have figured it out and were doing just that. No other site I’ve ever seen has had even remotely close to that rate of cheating, I guess all the crooks in the world swooped down on poor Netwinner to try to get all the goodies! Pullllleeeeeze.

    If you complain on the now dead (again) forum, you get banned. I was banned after less than 10 posts….maybe 6 or 7, the first three of which were deleted. I didn’t break any of the forum rules, I stated my opinion, although somewhat creatively. I did say this: Old business plan: Empty promises and false hope. New business plan: Carnal Knoweldge ‘em if they can’t take a joke. That’s probably the one that got me banned. When people began complaining that their posts were removed, it was blamed on *attackers*. The *attackers* were wreaking havoc on the forum and the moderator *has a heavy load* to fix it all.
    Pulllllleeeeeeze.

    Yes, they paid some people. They did that so there would be people singing their praises and they could keep going a little longer. But they rigged the games so there would be fewer who could even cash out, they banned people for bogus reasons to keep the payouts lower, they disregarded their own TOS, changed it over and again and disregarded it some more, then they finally just said, ya know what, we’re just not going to pay you people at all. But keep playing, because now we have all these great raffles. They suggested that only about 10% of members would be unhappy with that and those people are just whiners anyway.

    If this isn’t illegal, it should be. I filed a complaint with the NC BBB and I’m not done yet. If you’re still playing there and you still think there’s something to be gained by that, I have a live fairy in a bottle I captured in my back yard for sale!

    Netwinner is not a scam - I have received $300 for walmart and by end of week or early next week will receive another $175 and have enough points to cash out for another $450. It seems odd that the people that claim they played there and got their accounts terminated are not using the same name they used playing there. If you had your accounts terminated there was obviously a reason but I notice you all just claim it was for no reason at all - makes you go hmmmmmmmmm.

    OK WHO PUT THEM CHEAP DRUGS IN MY TEA THAT DAY - NETLOSER IS THE BIGGEST SCAM AND TO ALL THE PAID MODS/ADMINS THAT STILL BELIEVE IN THEM - DO LIKE YOU TOLD ALL THE PLAYERS - GET A JOB!!!!!!!!!!
