@hblanco88

i agree with you on only 1 point...
Totem makes it's money Selling the Credits used to purchase the cards..

If A Valued Customer start with 0 credits
and a new Customer starts with 0 credits

Who will Spend the Most to buy enough credits to buy 30 cards?

The Valued Customer already knows the best value is the 500 credits for $49.99

But the new user might look at it..
This Promo of 5 cards will cost 94 credits, I'll buy 100 credits at $14.99

And they will do this 6 times to get their 30 cards..
$14.99 x 6 = $89.94

The Valued Customer will Buy the 500 credits 1 time for $49.99 to get the same 30 cards.

Also, don't forget that income and profit are too totally different things.
@hblanco88 - when you buy credits - that is income for them, not (entirely) profit
If you buy an old card, which has been bought by several hundreds of other users before you,
then most probably they have the production costs of that card already returned, so then it is good profit.
If you buy a new card, then you are one of the first ones, where their cost start to return, probably zero profit for a while. Not saying, that it wouldn't be important, because it is.
With this logic the higest profit is to sell older cards for new customers.
BUT it shouldn't be forgotten, that in not so much time you can become an "old" customer from a new customer. As a "new" customer you buy those cards without the high discount, that "old" ones have now. Now that they (the "old" ones) have bought very many of those cards.
We can go on with this forever. Let's just agree, that both customers are important, loyal "old" customers and new ones as well. Buy many cards and then you get high discount and become an "old" customer :)
As for your logic for not good promotion: every promotion is different, this might not be good for you or to me, but I am sure, it was good for some others here. You decide to take it or not. Good thing you will have another choice in one maximum two weeks later...

I'm sorry i might be stupid but i just spent over 3k and yet i didnt got the special card. Nice win percentage.

You probably did not get any special cards, but you did get anywhere from 250 - 300 cards that you did not have before, and it is entirely possible that you may, in fact, enjoy some of those new cards.

And, as should be evident, a responsible adult should know when to quit where 'games of chance' are involved.

Hi guys. Steam Version of iStripper : It is not free : $ 3.99 to have the app with 50 credits .
no forum, no private message, no XXX cards, no partner tab ,no live and no VR ; )

I'm sorry i might be stupid but i just spent over 3k and yet i didnt got the special card. Nice win percentage.

I did okay on the envelope. Paid 57.6 credits and got 5 cards, of which there is 1 that I might download. The other 4 will remain permanently grey.

I also got 100 credits from the scratch card, so in the end I am now 5 (basically free) cards closer to triple diamond status and have 42 more credits than I started with.

Well i spent over 2,5k credits and never got lucky from over 7 chances i got to get the special card

I'd like to "Make a Wish" for a "Pillow Fight"!

2 of 5 on wishlist
2 iStripper 3 iStripper Classic
2 1080 3 720
Nothing on scratchcard

40.91 cr.
Could have bought the 2 I anted, and saved myself 16 cr.

Mystery indeed!
Why do I keep falling for these "offers"?

My thoughts exactly. The only good offer is the "buy 4 get one refunded"

Deo VR is one of the better ones, in my view.

Glad you're enjoying it, @trost1977! The team has worked really hard on both of these initiatives. Can't wait to see where they take things next!

Once yo do the math you have lost a lot of money in this place.

It might be better to not go there. Wouldn't want to scare the newbies away by letting them know how much it really costs.

@gkar45 Yes, I am happy with my results from the mystery envelope.

I use Mermaid VR to watch VR show with HTC VIVE on Win10.
Tell me any other VR player?

About 2 days ago, I intentionally set the platform such that I will not receive any preview card.

But after so , under the girl store , I also do not receive any discount card invitation.

Thus about 5 hours ago , I intentionally re-set to receive the preview card again.

After so, the discount card invitation comes back again under the girl store.

Does it mean that there is a relation. ? Or is it just a random incident ?

Second that... what a lady! :)

@Interestingcard : thank you.

Someone can tell me the link between these posts and the subject of the thread, please ?
We should come back on the railroads, shouldn't we ?

@DvSDesign, yeh. i was surprised they went this way, it would have made more sense to film all the shows in 3d(not 180) then give users a choice of the 2d (current) or a 3d version at a slight increased cost (maybe 5 creds more).

@Wyldanimal

I see what you are saying but I'm not sure that is going to be an accurate comparisment and to be honest,
If I want to get Erotic XXX content (which I don't mind),
I can just as easily head to Pornhub or all the actual adult VR sites.
I'll be patient and see what the future VR videos on iStripper evolve like but if I had a choice in it,
It would be nice to see the VR content stay within iStrippers original idea,
just stripping and teasing but perhaps on a more personal level because that's what VR does.
Of course throwing in the occasional XXX video is perfectly fine.
The VR iStripper is fresh and new, so it's still too early to really get a handle on it.

The odds to win a fansign is the number of entries X:1.
If there are 100 entries the odds are 100:1, if there are only 20 entries it's 20:1.
The random seed has nothing to do with the odds to win.

Here is a randomizer to test, that's how it works.
https://www.random.org/lists/

Thank you for your tests and feedbacks @Wyldanimal.

On my phone playing the video from scratch via the QR code will only result in small "fish-eyed" side-by-side images produced, soundtrack is not correct also.

I finally found one suitable VR player on the Google Play store that is able to decode and interpret the video stream correctly (generate correct output for both eyes according to the head movements) but still the soundtrack is not correctly read.

I am also able to correctly read movies produced by VRP company. My phone is medium-end but low-cost brand so not very powerful and only support standard codecs I guess. It runs Android 7.1.1.

It seems that there is no "standard" encoding for such kind of media yet and it is too platform dependent (I guess the Samsung flagship phone must read it without issue).

I will wait and see if Totem is able to propose a more widely supported re-encoding and/or suggest one suitable VR player in the Google Play galaxy 😀

Cheers.

@Wyldanimal
I would agree with you if the business model Totem is using was the same you described, where
Money = Credits. Except that this is not true. Allow me to explain...

Totem is a Business Yes?

Yes, it is a business. I agree

If you have Valued customers that Every Day, buy everything at a 45% discount, and you as the Business only make $0.05
on each one...

But for New customers who Pay Full Price, you as the Business make $1.25 on each one...

I disagree. You are comparing oranges with apples. You are not spending real money in a card. You are spending credits. Whether a card is full price 25 credits or 13.75 credits (45% discount) is irrelevant. Totem is not making a profit by selling a card. Totem is making a profit by the real money ($) you spend to reload credits.
You are implying that the highest percentage of the profit comes from New Customers. This is not true. Actually, Totem gets most of its profit from the Valued Customers, they are buying every single card that comes out. The real math is that they are spending 13.75 credits X 30 = 412.5 credits per month, which mean they put in $50 every 5 weeks. New Customers will be more selective with their card purchases and will try to keep their credits as long as possible, ergo, they not be spending in a monthly basis.

What makes more Business sense for a Weekend Promotion..

Attract the Valued Customers so they Buy 100 items, and you make $5.00 profit..
Or Attract the New Customers so they Buy 100 items and you make $125.00 profit...

Not true. If a spend $100 to buy credits, whether I can buy 100 things or 40, or decide not to buy anything at all, the profit is still $100. It doesn’t matter how you spend the credits, or you can either spend it in the slot machine, win 2000 credits, but the profit still the same $100.
It becomes a profit at reload time, not when you buy a card

I think the weekend Promotion as a Business is Better to Attract the New customers.
You are already Taking care of your Valued Customers Every day of the Year.

The weekend promotion is to achieve 2 things
1. If you have the credits, a promotion is an incentive to spend them, and to spend them as quick as possible. The faster you spend your credits the sooner is the likelihood to buy more credits for real money ($).
2. If you don’t have the credits and the promotion is very appealing, then you will spend $ to buy credits, so you can enjoy the promotion.
Totem as a business needs to appeal equally to both Valued and New Customers.

Full price card cost $2.50
50% of that price goes to pay your Affiliates. so you pay out $1.25 per card..
and you Keep $1.25 profit that has to cover your Employees and Production Costs..

When you Sell a card at the 45% discount, you still need to pay your Affiliates that $1.25
So that only Leaves you $0.05 profit.

Full price is 25 credits, not $2.50. So if I spend $50, then $25 is for affiliates and $25 that cover salaries and expenses.

A business can only Survive if it can turn a Profit..
So many of the Weekend Promotions are targeted to Generate Profit...

A business survives only if customers spend money, and if they can do it in a regular basis, then is all good news. If a promotion is bad, they won’t spend their credits. A bunch of credits stacked in a customer’s account is bad news for Totem, because that means the customer won’t be reloading credits anytime soon.

i played one and got the alyssia kent splurging special card! i also got 3 cards i wanted and two i didn't for 31.50 credits not bad if i say so myself

Unfortunately I did not manage to be able to play any demo from any of my VR players on my mobile phone. It seems the encoding is not supported.

I've tried them on my phone as well.
click on the Small QR code Icon.
then Use the QR scanner to read the large pop up QR code.


On my Older Samsung S6 they play as downloaded to the phone.

On newer Alcatel TCL LX
they do not play - reports Video Format not Supported.

Same Deo Vr player installed to both phones.

Also, on my Alcatel TCL LX, Google Cardboard reports, not Compatible with your Device.

So even though it's a newer phone, it has a different version of Android OS, and Won't play these.
It does Play other VR-180 content..

Could the odds not change with every F5 refresh and post added? It'd also add another way to see a draw as it drops from a hopeful 25:1 to a hopeless 180:1 within an hour. ;) I always thought that the seed was there to keep the draw honest, but with no linky script, you're left looking at all the wrong sorts of illegal and dodgy imported medications.
A random seed is just a list of useless numbers without the generator to plug them into, or an ocd mind to calculate. Obfuscation is an easy stepping stone to jump to, whether it be a random, free draw or a lucky scratch card. An easy to see, changing or static variable tends to keep everyone clued up as to how unfavorable a game of chance has become, or really is.

Maybe the waters need to be muddied to draw in the punters?

@Wlydanimal ya, they have a pretty good collection & thx.....not what we talking/texting about, but nice place to buy DVD"s

Okay, I posted that because they were all filmed on Location in Red Rock Canyon State Park

Lost in Space "the Series"

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

@shodan084

When they first started doing these drawing, they explained exactly how it works. The Random Seed thing is just the mechanism for picking one name from a list of names. They can't publish the odds until the last person has signed up. But the odds don't really matter. Everyone has one chance of wining for an entry fee of ZERO. Those are good odds.

@gkar45,

you might find this even more sir....prising

all of these have the same thing in common.

https://www.imdb.com/search/title?locations=Red%20Rock%20Canyon%20State%20Park%20-%20Highway%2014,%20Cantil,%20California,%20USA&ref_=ttloc_loc_1

I never meant that the generation was unfair, it would just make more sense to show the odds rather than the seed generation (or maybe along with the seed generation if it's necessary)... if a paragraph is needed on explaining how the seed generation works it tends to suggest it was the ***** choice. I'm still trying to calculate that variable...

I just think that 100:1 is easier to digest, rather than a large seed string.

I need to tell google that these are not the seeds I'm looking for, moving along. ;)

My first card was Ms Lynna - Flying First Class

I saw it mentioned in the TGIF thread about the Unfairness of the Fansign offering because members don't know the Odds of Winning...

Hint:
It's a RANDOM selection from ALL of the Members who enter..

so if 10 members enter the Odds are 10 to 1
if 100 members enter is 100 to 1

It's random... every one who enters has the same chance as every other member.

What is the Random Seed.

It is a randomly Generated number used to Verify the Random Results of a Random Selection.

All the Member names are entered in to a Table.
A random Seed is Generated and Entered in to the Random Algorithm.
One Winner is then Chosen at random based on the Seed value.

All lotteries must report the random Seed along with the Winner.
This is so the Win can be Verified.

The same Random Seed will Always display the Same random choice.

The Seed is usually generated based of the system or Universal time.
Often the Number of Milliseconds since midnight, or the Number of nanoseconds since midnight is used to feed the Seed Generator.

There are 86400000000000 nano seconds in a day.
If the current nano second count is used as the seed in the Seed Generator, and the Generator picks the 1000'th pseudorandom number as the resultant Seed,

it's 86400000000000 ^ 1000th power that, that seed will be unique.

this seed number is then used to pick the winner..

Enter the randomly generated Seed number and a random winner is selected.
If you Later need to verify or Prove the random selection

you can Enter the Same Seed number and you will get the same results again.
If you enter a different Seed number, you will get a completely different set of results.

A roundabout answer. That... does not make a whole lot of sense! X)

Being able to see the odds is important. A 20 to 1 odds would be picking the number 6 far more often than a 15000 to 1. This applies to the fansign too. It's only fair to let people know they have no chance... ;)

The 'random seed number' on the fansign is almost useless. Type that phrase into google and find out how many 'medicinal' herbs the web tries to sell you. To calculate your chances it's merely p/(1-p). I'm sure you could add that quite easily into the web page... a nice changing variable at the top of the page! Since the odds on the scratch cards are static...

All the winners have played, but all the players can not to win, it's the rule of the game.

@Ironman79

You took the words right out of my mouth.
I had two scratch cards and did not win the Ginebra card.

Out of the five different win possibilities of the scratch card has anyone won a special event card?

I wouldn't mind knowing the odds on that, all i want is the Ginebra card

Unfortunately I did not manage to be able to play any demo from any of my VR players on my mobile phone. It seems the encoding is not supported.

If it is a Slot Machine or those Mystery Envelopes, I don't like these games and these chances to get cards of models that I don't want to buy or get. I can only say: Stop those games and packages with the cat in a sack! And stop those event cards that you cannot buy in the usual way. I am really upset about this practice. Demos are enough! I want a free choice and no threats!👎😠😀

looks like the brain storming to find somthing to show appreciation for their most loyal customers after the last scratch game desaster didn't bring up any results.. really a pity.
At least they didn't release a new special event card this time.

Edit: i tried this one time. Happy to say that no VG Classics were included in the 5 cards. And the scratch game got me 50 credits so i paid 1.05 credits for these 5 cards...

yes for new customers this is an interesting offer probably.

Edit2: The prize of the envelope changes btw. I guess its already clear for the system which cards it contains.

Why do I keep falling for these "offers"?

Agree

In such games I always gets the very old and low quality cards. I should learn and not participate in such mysteries.

So it really is a Virtual lap Dance..

$30 to $50 bucks for a 10 minute lap dance..
So 30 credits ( $3.00 ) is a very reasonable amount for 10 minutes.
That model worked out sooo well for vrpardise...

For comparison, Naughty america is ~$100/year and they have around 400 vr videos which works out to $0.25 each....

I love VR Erotic on my Oculus Go and have an active subscription for Wankz VR, Nughty America, DaBoink VR and Virtualrealporn and got all of this Sites as Yearly subscriptions with discount at Chrismas time, Easter and they have been around 60€ for 1 Year with at least 1 Video per week on each Site and length 30 to 60 minutes.
So it´s a bit hard for me to accept 10 minute Videos for 3€ each... This VIdeos should be included when you buy a Show for a Scene with this Model!

Thank you to everyone who participates, and Gets a bit more of a discount, and also helps keep the Business running.
Every so often, there is a Promotion that The Full Collection Members can take advantage of..
But in between, the Promotion might not be the best Fit for the full Collection members.

Edit:
I used numbers to emphasize a point.
I don't know what the actual numbers are...
But you get the idea, I hope...

Everything is edible... however, cannibalism is frowned upon in some social circles. ;)

I don't care about the promo. I care about LIYA SILVER!
YAY --- she is HERE!
I will buy all her cards at full price.
She is soooo adorable!
She is edible!
