That's not the point. Nobody is asking you to justify yourself here. There is nothing to justify in this campaign. Users are drawn at random. If some are drawn more often, it's not their fault.

What many users complain about is the lack of gratitude from some users for a promotion that is not a matter of course and for which you really don't have to make much effort.

I think it's good manners to say thank you for gift vouchers (which can pretty much be presented as money). Granted, many people don't know "thank you and please" and take everything for granted, but that's beside the point here.

Now I'll ask you a question: let's assume you organize a competition as announced months ago and lottery vouchers or codes. 2 out of 4 winners don't thank you afterwards and take the win without comment. Wouldn't you have the feeling that these users are being ungrateful to you?


You are welcome to answer no, I have no problem with that. It's your opinion and your attitude. But there are people who would feel that way in such a situation. That should be respected just as much as the other attitude.

Your comparison is inappropriate, by the way. The situation in your comparison is an unpleasant life situation that nobody deserves. I just wanted to mention it briefly. But I don't want to play the moralizer here. I also use examples that are inappropriate from time to time. Sometimes sentences like that just slip out without really meaning any offense.

It's good manners to say thank you, I think that's also very desirable, but not a must. I forgot to mention that.


Nevertheless, it is also possible that not everyone does / sees it that way and you should still respect that.

8 say thank you, 2 don't say thank you. Both should be respected.

You can wish for a thank you, but if it doesn't come, the person addressed shouldn't have to justify it just because someone has this expectation.

And the comparison may be a little rustic, but it's true.
Some people win several times and/or don't say thank you, which leads others to think they deserve justification for it. Mostly out of envy, resentment and annoyance because you weren't so lucky yourself.

Those responsible at Gamble Joe and/or SlotMagie could have said that a win obliges them to say thank you, otherwise everything else is purely a moral concept of each individual. But nobody has anything to demand here except those who pay out the prizes.

If someone takes part here quietly and secretly and doesn't get drawn 24 times or wins 24 times, that's all fine.

Some people mainly use the forum here, for them this is a community.

And so it is understandable that it is polite to say thank you.
(Personally, I rarely do that either, but I'll do better😄)

For others, this is simply an Affiliate site, and that is also true, which organizes promotions to retain and win users.
And then you see no need to thank them, just as you see no need to thank playstation, kinderschokolade or anyone else for a competition. And that's also perfectly okay.
The comparison with a private lottery is extremely flawed.

I think it's good that we see many points similarly.

At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether you want to say thank you. I was just trying to explain the users' displeasure. In other words, how I understand and feel about it. Of course, I can't speak for others. It may be that some of the critics are a little envious of these users, but I don't think everyone is. Most people know that the draw is based purely on luck.
Nobody demands that you always say thank you. Once is enough and it doesn't take a minute. What some people might not consider is that these people don't even read threads,

Thank you for your contribution. I had actually completely omitted the view that this site is only an affiliate site. I am one of those users who see GJ more as a forum. Accordingly, I see it as normal to thank the sponsor and the platform for gifts here. Even though I know that the sponsor probably doesn't care whether I thanked them or not, because the aim of this campaign is to do PR. The sponsor is not doing this out of charity, but sees it as an investment. What is important to them are the registrations that have been generated by this campaign. You also have to bear in mind that many players are trying to reduce their losses. They don't see it as charity, but rather as cash back.

As a child, I learned to say please and thank you because it's a matter of politeness.
But I also don't know what values children are taught today.

I think you're interpreting things quite wrongly?

No one has talked about it being a kind of obligation.
But you honestly can't tell me that people have time to log in, go to a page and press the participate button but are too lazy to type in 5 letters afterwards?

Especially in a forum that lives from the communication of its members, this would be the least I could do. For me, it also has something to do with good parenting.

Logically, you don't thank such a huge corporation either. But this lottery comes from a group of private individuals, so for me that's a huge difference.

The lottery comes from GJ, who earn their money through this site and the associated Affiliate income, and SlotMagie, a German casino.

This has absolutely nothing to do with private individuals.

But we're just ruining another positive topic here, because of nothing and nothing.

So thanks to the GJ team for their action and a Merry Christmas to everyone.

Since this is about the users with 7 and 8 wins. Somehow I had already started to write a post about this yesterday, but apparently forgot to send it.

What hasn't changed after yesterday's draw is that there is still a maximum of users who have won 5 times.

We currently have a total of 597 users who have taken part at least once.
A total of 474 users have won at least once.

I wish especially those who have not yet been drawn and participate regularly the best of luck in the remaining 6 draws.

That's true, but you also have to bear in mind that GJ is currently generating less revenue. I can't give you any figures, but I think you can feel it. Nevertheless, the same amount of raffle money has still been chosen and that's not exactly a small amount of money.

They get traffic etc. from it too, of course, but you should appreciate it as long as this campaign exists. Gratitude is a sign of appreciation. Compared to last year, GJ has significantly fewer participants and presumably less traffic.

Just like when you were a child/teenager, that will largely depend on the parents.

In any case, I wouldn't make the assessment of this dependent on behavior on an online casino platform.

However, I also remember that this lottery took place without any additional support from an external company.


But I'm referring more to the original foundation and the fact that, in theory, you wouldn't even have to offer something like this here!

If there were only "5", then I must have miscounted when I skimmed through.

Nonetheless, a great campaign!

You remember correctly. The Advent calendar has been around since 2018. Thanks to the support of the providers, which we have now received for the third year, we have been able to further increase the Prize pool and secure the implementation of the respective Advent campaign.

If you don't say thank you here, you probably won't do it anywhere else either.

It doesn't matter where you say thank you when you get something as a gift.
But I'm also a bit older and see things differently.
