If you changed the rule like this, then instead of 125 users there would probably be 200 users or even more in the lottery Pot every month. I'm sure most of the regular users and therefore Falke wouldn't like that either. If 1 month of activity instead of the current 2 months is sufficient for the lottery, that would be a logical consequence.

Do you think so? Falke only wanted to propose this special rule for active regular users, not for everyone. So from a certain forum rank. Do you think there are that many people who are active in the forum and don't take part in the lottery? Maybe that would be the case at some point anyway, whether adjustments are made or not, as the forum is constantly growing.

Comingsoon19 wrote on 04.01.2025 at 15:22: Hello,

Suggestion on my part. No more winning pictures from unlicensed casinos (in Germany Spielotheken) I find the impression between this mixing of winning pictures critical. On the one hand, you only cooperate with casinos from the whitelist. On the other hand, wins are posted here from casinos that are not on the whitelist. The wins can never reach German players (1€ max bet)

To each his own win. But I think if there are only pictures of the licensed casinos here, it reflects more what is going on in DE (RTP) than if I always see the stake, etc. wins. On the one hand, the games don't even exist in DE.

Just a suggestion.



Hello Comingsoon19

Thanks for the suggestion.
I think this is a bit of a complicated topic at first glance.
If we are talking about implementation now, then we would have to check every single winning picture and also every winning video before publishing it to see where it was played accordingly.
Of course, some winning pictures have very conspicuous features, such as the casino logo in front of the cut-out, the respective RTP displayed or whether the respective slot is even licensed in Germany. Not forgetting, of course, the respective bets.
In most cases, however, the winning pictures are submitted without these conspicuous features, which means that we would then have to spend time carrying out background checks.

Not to forget that we also have active members who do not live in Germany and cannot play with the respective German providers (e.g. Switzerland and Austria). Accordingly, we would then have to offer different galleries in this regard, which would then split up enormously, similar to the no Deposit area, and could significantly damage the overall overview.

At the same time, the entire forum and the corresponding threads would also have to be reorganized, as discussions about providers outside the German license could possibly "distort" the experience.

So for me, this is definitely an interesting suggestion from you, but personally I'm rather divided on the implementation and whether this would really be expedient, both from the point of view of the members and the effort on our part.


Falke wrote on 04.01.2025 at 08:36: I've already mentioned it several times. Can the 2-month rule for participation in the competition be relaxed for regular users? I didn't reach the points in December because I was very busy at work. Now I have to wait another 2 months before I can even take part.

I think that's unfair. There are some users who do nothing but upload winning pictures or write reviews. This is also important for the forum, but to achieve the points only through activity in the forum is firstly more difficult and time-consuming and secondly also much more profitable for the forum and thus GJ as a whole.


Hi Falcon

First of all, thank you for your feedback.
I personally think that we have discussed this topic at some point in the past, but I honestly can't remember exactly what it was.
I can imagine that we were perhaps a bit skeptical internally about the "special rule" because it might seem unfair to some members if they could be given "preferential" treatment in lotteries, so to speak.

But I would simply suggest that we give a more detailed answer on this topic at a later date, as soon as we are back to full strength and have discussed it again internally.

In fact, such a rule change for the future would mean that existing frequent contributors/frequent uploaders/etc. who have reached a certain points or contribution status would always be automatically included from now on. Other members who have not (yet) reached this status would have to earn their participation on a monthly basis. This can't really be the right way to encourage and reward consistently active forum participation.

I also think that such a "wild card" would create problems where there are none (in my opinion).

Every "regular user" is free to fill up their monthly points with less time-consuming activities.
And if it doesn't work out, so be it. After all, this is only about participating in the lottery and not about a donor kidney.

I could also well imagine that the quality of the contributions would then drop sharply because people would want to qualify for the lottery as quickly as possible. This would annoy many users anyway, who would then be excluded.

The comparison with the donor kidney is good Sure, chance to win a 30, a bit of excitement, watch the video. It's a nice thing for everyone, but the importance sometimes attached to the lottery has sometimes left me, at least, astonished. Some people are away for three weeks, others are sick in bed for two weeks, others have a lot on their plate at the moment and others are currently working the early and late shifts. It didn't work out so well with the forum...another time it will be better again and then I'll be in the lottery Pot

You're already one step ahead...I hadn't even considered the idea of quickly trying to get into the "illustrious circle"

No. That's not what it would mean. I think you misunderstood me.


Even the active regular users have to qualify every month and achieve the required points. I am ONLY concerned with the point that you have to wait a whole 2 months again if you have not reached the points in one month.

I think it's perfectly fine not to take part in the lottery without the points. But the fact that you then have to wait another 2 months before you can take part is not okay.

Example: Last month (December) I wasn't in the lottery. But I still wrote something in the forum and just didn't reach the points. But then I don't want to write any pointless posts just to get the points. So I was active, contributed constructively to the forum and just missed out on the points. Now I have to reach the full number of points again in 2 months before I'm back in. And in my opinion, it should be enough to simply reach the full number of points again in the next month in order to be included and not 2 months.

aaah, so it's all about abolishing the 2-month rule. I think almost everyone who responded (including me, of course) understood it differently Then my thesis would no longer apply, of course. We would now have to find out where this 2-month rule came from in the first place or why it was established in this way. You could abolish it for all I care....I don't really understand the reason behind it off the top of my head, but I've never thought about it either. But then my suggestion would be for everyone and without any regular guest bonuses.

Never change a winning system.

I haven't been around that long, but I don't think you should change everything just because of one dissatisfied case. No offense to Falke personally.

He says himself that he didn't manage to fulfill the regulations for various reasons. It's bitter, but the solution can't be to change everything to help an individual case.

I find the 2-month rule very ok, it prevents new registrations that can/want to clear immediately. And for everyone else it's an incentive to stay active.
