Good job none of this is really imporant - I forgot to include the two gift cards I got on the progress bar!
So it's actually a better average cost per card 370/32 = 11.56 credits at the moment.

It is far too small a sample to be significant but this is weak, very weak, support for a hypothesis I have become to think is moderately likely - namely that for triple diamond members the games, on average, neither favour the player nor Totem or at least that any such bias is small (as long as you are not fussy about which cards you win). If this i so, and it fits my experience, then for lower level members the games will actually favour them because of the extra cost they pay to buy a card. Of course individualy you may win or lose heavily.

Note that even if the games are not biased Totem are still likely to benefit from them by inducing extra "purchases", either directly or as them acting as a sort of advertising, leading to us buying more credits for real money.

Now played 80 plays of the 25 game. Net spend 370 credits. 13 more gift cards + 2 from progress bar. 7 unwanted cards. 6 wishlisted cards. 4 cards undecided yet to keep or not. No SEC. No Joker. Most of the time (83% for me so far) you either win back your 15 credits or more (46%), win a gift card (16%) or random card (21%).
So average cost per card is 12.33 credits - so over paying for older cards yes, but since I like many of them anyway that's fine for me.
Still plenty of time to play for those shy jokers.

Of course next play I might win 150 credits and that comes right down, but probably won't. Just a game.
Support bubble calling - see you later!

Thanks for trying to help by sharing your experience. 👍

No problem @arise77 :)

So if I get it right, the number of cards from your wishlist is uneven every time
and there could also be none.

Correct 👌 at least for the past Free Packs which i have bought, i have no Idea about the new ones.

Have you calculated on average what is the % of wishlisted cards?

I was never good in Math in School so calculating with Numbers was never my favourite thing.

There are 48 cards in total, do you think it could be half of them? Maybe more?

I don't know and like i was saying before the Free Pack Promos were a way for me to Build up
my Collection as fast as possible in the past.
The plan was working pretty good until the first Cards in 720p were showing up
at some point inside the Free Packs. But like mentioned before, no Option for me any more,
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/36697/1#post689828
and because of the lower Quality as well.

From there on my way was only to go in the Girls Store with my Credits.
As far as i can tell, i was be able to take Advantage of two maybe three Cashback Offers in 2020,
but not on all four.
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/44073/1
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/44600/1
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/44791/1
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/45692/1
Then in 2020 the Advent Calendar,
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/46412/1
and as the last Offer the 20% Discount on all 2020 Shows.
https://www.istripper.com/de/forum/thread/46679/1
But there were not much left in the Store for me, so gladly i could get them all.

For myself there are now 457 Shows left in the Store, incl. all new Shows from now on.
But my Account is already reloaded and Auto Buy is activated.

And for the 457 Shows ... i'm getting there ... i'm getting there ... at some point : )

In Fact as a long Term Member with an specific Amount of Shows in your Collection,
and without the Plan to Hunt the SEC's, spend your Credits on the Store.

And for the SEC Cards, in my Opinion the Rules are pretty clear.
And as far as i can see it from the T&C (Remember the small Hook during the Software Installation),

YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE CREDIT SYSTEM HAVE
NO MONETARY VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH.
NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR THE PURCHASE OF CREDITS.

so everyone of us should be aware of this. So in that case i made my Decision already
and also since a while longer how to spend my Credits on iStripper.
And this is my way > https://www.istripper.com/store

But this does not mean that i will not take Advantage on the one or the other Offer in the Future,
but i think i'm grown up enough to make my own Decisions about that.

And for the Gambling Games, some people might forget that Gambling is Fun for the one or
the other single Individual. And iStripper is in Fact an Entertainment Platform.
So i would say live and let live.

Now played 80 plays of the 25 game. Net spend 370 credits. 13 more gift cards + 2 from progress bar. 7 unwanted cards. 6 wishlisted cards. 4 cards undecided yet to keep or not. No SEC. No Joker. Most of the time (83% for me so far) you either win back your 15 credits or more (46%), win a gift card (16%) or random card (21%).
So average cost per card is 12.33 credits - so over paying for older cards yes, but since I like many of them anyway that's fine for me.
Still plenty of time to play for those shy jokers.

Two layers almost equals two shows in one I reckon. Pepper XO (Fun First Date) and Ava Courcelles (Cheating Wife) showing the merits of a lovely dress, then with lingerie under that - I think this makes for a much better overall show. If you just start with the lingerie everytime, as seems much more common now, or just a dress only, I think we are all missing a more sexy show. Some of us like our "gifts" double wrapped. 😍

@Stanton Thanks for trying to help by sharing your experience. 👍

I suspect since the discount level is higher than in the past that there would be more random cards this time.

@arise77

It can be worth it for any member who doesn't have a full collection

The Free Pack Promo is actually worth for every Member which doesn't have a full Collection,
or at least which is a completely new Member on iStripper.

I was always glad about these kind of Promos, and if it was possible i was always
taking Advantage of them every time. See one of my Comments from 2020 here for example.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/37892/4?post=656742
So i would like to give you at least to this a Response and share my Experience with you.

I still remember, before i took the first Time Advantage on the Free Pack Promo,
i had not less Cards on my Wish List already.

But not every time, Cards which were on my Wish List appeared inside the Free Pack Promo,
it was completely Random, and i still can remember slightly on this.
And sometimes, none of the Cards from my Wish List, were inside the Free Pack Promo.

So it was completely Random, but sometimes and as you can see on my Posting from the past,
i was really Lucky and glad about the unexpected Gift.

But, i was also aware of the Fact that at some Point Cards will appear inside
the Free Packs Promo which i don't wont to Buy, and it was the case at some Point.

Because i can't play the 720p Cards on my actual Setup, and to be honest
i'm only interested in the higher Resolution Cards (1080p, CC and CC+).

So i made for myself a compromise, if a Promo is not worth it for me to participate in it,
i'm spending my Credits on the Girls Store for the Price of the Shows.
Which everyone of us can do anytime by the way.

And beside the Discount from the Free Packs Promo, your Discount from your Member Level Status
(Gold, Platinum, Diamond or whatever) is also on Top of that.

And here is another Advantage from this. You can check the Cards before you Buy a Pack.
Just click on the Cardimage, you will land on the Preview Page for the Model,
and just Download the Preview. This is not possible with the Progression Packs,
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/47267/1
where there is a redraw Option since quite a while, which was also not the case before.

So ya the Free Pack Promo is absolutely worth for every Member which doesn't have a full Collection.
or is at least a completely new Member on iStripper.

My starting three - the two older cards are on my wishlist and I could buy for 8.8 each anytime.
The Randy Ayn card - have you seen how bored she looks in the previews!
I've already dumped three of her other cards. Don't need another, but will probably get dumped on me at some point.

It's a joke! I know I can see! Just remarking how he had made exactly same amount that's all. Thought it was obvious.
-----
Sorry @TheEmu - bit abrupt there - think is was watching that Randy Ayn preview - she really did not look like she was interested one little tiny bit.

same number of posts exactly as last month 122 - have you got a little counter somewhere.

We all have such a counter - actually two one for posts and a second for card comments. Though we would need to manualy take note of their values at the start of each month. They are visible to everyone via our profiles.

@henrylee7 true - you need to get a lady in then help keep track for this month - me I need one to help with all this typing.

At least compared to gambling, "free packs" offer is actually a promo. It can be worth it for any member who doesn't have a full collection, depending on how many cards are chosen from your wishlist. Plus if you can get a gift card along the way, could be a good deal.
However there are still a few unknowns, which I already mentioned in my previous post:

• the amount of credits needed to fill in the bar
• the number or % of wishlisted cards included in each set
• if free cards are wanted of just random cards

Does anyone have any insight on these?

@henrylee7 same number of posts exactly as last month 122 - have you got a little counter somewhere.

February : 122 forum posts 1 comment . In March 1 comment more 😀

That's why I won't play the "free packs"-game. I played it once or twice with no satisfaction. You always get so many cards you don't want. I decided to play only when I need a joker. By playing a game you get so many cards and lots of them you don't want. And I still have 5 jokers so playing a game is not for me, not now, not in the near future.
I buy the cards myself, much cheaper.

Two cards from my wishlist, that as Triple Diamond member I could pay 19.80 credits, plus an unsolicited very old card (released on 2/25/08): total 25.74 credits (with 10% discount...).
So my question is: why should i buy them? To "win" after another two shopping like this an unknown single card (certainly very old) ?
Maybe if the game was worth the candle I could also play ....
But for these two weeks I'll do without it: thanks Totem.

(and a few insiders also have cards that have never been released)

Why we don't all ask such cards to be eventually released (maybe only for high level members, and also discounted if they are technically not so good &/or incomplete)?

ive got 4860 i my collection and never been on the largest collection list. Ive Been a member since 2007. Whats it matter if ive been a member longer than others. ive still spent a lot more pennys on my collection. Suppose someone makes all the decisions to get more members. Loyalty doesnt seem to matter.

So what - I have 4882 cards in my collection, and others who have been members longer than I have have even more. I am missing a dozen or so withdrawn cards and about 100 Gay cards while a few members have all of those (and a few insiders also have cards that have never been released) so we are a long way from having truely maximal collections.

But not all cards count for this award, only those that everybody has a chance of obtaining. To count all cards would remove all traces of it being a "fair" competition and make it one that no newcomer could ever "win".

The "Largest Collection Awards" is slightly misnamed, but any more accurate name would be rather unwieldy.

ive got 4860 i my collection and never been on the largest collection list. Ive Been a member since 2007. Whats it matter if ive been a member longer than others. ive still spent a lot more pennys on my collection. Suppose someone makes all the decisions to get more members. Loyalty doesnt seem to matter.

I agree with @Wyldanimal. The numerical position within each group on the list, though well defined, has little or no significance with respect to the ranking for collection size - a random order would be just as relevant or rather it would be just as irrelevant.

There is no more merit in being first in the list than being last in the group of those with full collections . I suppose you could say that the lower down the group you are corresponds to being the faster in getting the current full collection than those higher in the list so if you really must assign some merit in the position then being low down the list implies is in some way a "better" achievement that being higher up it - but that is clutching at straws.

@wtprivate

Tenure should not count in the same list as collection size. They should be separate.

So when there are 179 members who ALL have a Full Collection.
I see it as, there are 179 members tied for 1st Place.

Currently they are listed in Ordered by Join Date. Tenure as you say.
And I find no issues with that.

How do you think the list should be Ordered?

Are there any notable cards where the girls "dangle" or play with their heels before removing them?(I also rather like how Belka dismissively throws her heels away over her shoulder, whilst on the table in Classy for You)

I do think I have a couple of cards like that but I can't say for sure which ones. Watch this space--I'll list them when I see them. I think Ally Haze - Business Partner might have some of that, but I'm not certain.

It's an old card, but in High Society, Zafira has the heel straps pulled down through the whole show. This leads to shoe dangling in the sitting clips and her heels rising out of the shoes in the standing clips.

@wtprivate

Each card can be identified using the CardID. The CardID consists of a letter followed by four digits.

Thus the following CardID's are examples for each card series:
a0001 b0001 c0001 d0001 e0001 f0001

Series B (VirtuaGuy) cards are ignored in this count.
Not every user wants to see guys on the screen.

Cards that can no longer be bought in the GirlsStore are also ignored.
Users who do not have these cards would have no chance of getting a top ranking.

Sorry - I'm not sure how your reply is relevant?

My point is this - that despite buying EVERY SINGLE CARD (I'm on Auto) that is released, my rank keeps slipping. And there's nothing I can actually do about it.

So - even being a loyal customer, I'm falling off the register and will shortly no longer appear - even though I am buying every card.

Surely that doesn't make any sense at all?

Tenure should not count in the same list as collection size. They should be separate.

A long, long time ago,

@smith2When I was youngYou are still young 😜Your first suggested Version is a little bit too fast for my Taste, and the secend Version too slow.How about my Suggestion from November the 28th last Year :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gx46AlY758

Oh, nice. Evreybody may chose the version with with he have a good mood.

J'ai collection de 4837 shows (collection) je regarde sur mon profil il est noté 4817 shows pourquoi une telle différence?

Bonjour

Some of the girls insisted their cards be removed from the store. These cards will no longer appear on your profile, but they count towards your collection. My collection has 802 cards, but my profile says 781.

Random packs can be a mixed bag. With this promo, most of my packs had only 1 show I wanted and the rest were meh. HOWEVER, every now and then, you will randomly be given a show by a girl you've never seen before and you may suddenly find yourself rushing to buy her other shows.

Hello,
have we figured out how many credits you need to fill in the gift card bar?

About "free packs" it seems to be cards selected from your wishlist; in the first set of cards there are 2 out of 3. Is it 2 cards from your wishlist + one random card in every set?
What about the free cards, are they also selected from your wishlist? All of them? If not how many of them?

@Ironxside I think if we ask for the cashback promo, we should have it sometime soon. I remember some members asked for a discount on all 2020 cards and we got it. I agree with you it's been a while, but it should come back eventually.

Then you should not be surprised that they are relatively rare, but not entirely unknown, offers.

How often do you think they should be offered ? There has been one so far this year.

No more than the other promotions, which too are at a discount from regular prices. The promotions I mention would be of limited scope and would not be a permanent discount. Again, the biggest factor is giving the customer the choice, not merely random.

The gambling games are frustrating . Theres a reason we have a wishlist . The cashback offer gives us the freedom to chose what we want . We dont want the roll of the dice or a random number generator to make that decision . The cashback represents value and freedon of choice . I have lost to many credits on the games , andd recieved cards i didnt want .

Not a good look for totem during a year where there product has not improved technically nor in terms of talent or performances. We certainly got more options to gamble away credits but we are losing options to get cards. They are looking at ways to protect revenue and have decided that the product is too cheap in instead improving the product to the point where people won't wait for the cashback. They have to understand that a person has to skip watching a card for up to 6 months to participate in the cashback. Make your product good enough so people want to buy during the 1st week.

A long, long time ago, Totem did a straw poll on different outfits... proper, everyday outfits were quite popular (if i remember rightly) I wonder what happened?

Hi @chocopop

Comment je peux acquerir les cartes spéciales?

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/40970/1#post705068

Bonjour à tous,
Je voudrais savoir :

• Comment ca se passe les attributions au hall of fame?
• J'ai collection de 4837 shows (collection) je regarde sur mon profil il est noté 4817 shows pourquoi une telle différence?
• Comment je peux acquerir les cartes spéciales?

Bon courage à tous et prenez soin de vous?

Chocopops

more safety often comes along with reduced comfort. it will take some time to get used to new payment procedures. i already activated 3d secure but was never asked for it so far. i can see that epoch offers EPS payment - probably i will make use of that option more in future.

Salut @Romla
J'ai bien peur que cette promo soit en voie de disparition depuis l'arrivée des cartes-cadeaux.
Bien sûr il faut jouer pour obtenir ces cartes, donc généralement vous obtenez également des cartes que vous ne voulez pas!
Triste en effet, mais la grande majorité des membres soutiennent certainement votre point de vue 😉
(Ce cash-back était peut-être trop utilisé pour acquérir les cartes à prix plus élevé)
Hi @Romla
I'm afraid this promo is on the way out since the arrival of gift cards.
Of course you have to play to get these cards, so usually you also get cards you don't want!
Sad indeed, but the vast majority of members certainly support your point of view 😉
(This cash back was perhaps too much used to acquire the higher priced cards)

See my post in "Twenty Five & new Free packs - Q&A"....

20 plays of the 25 game. Up 25 credits. 2 more gift cards. 3 more unwanted cards. Only ahead because of a single 150 credit gain. Think that's enough for today. Plenty of time to play for those shy jokers.

Hi, it is more than half a year we last saw the Cashback promotion. So I think it is a good time to say why I appreciate that offer so much and why I think it should return or at least some similar promotion.

What I liked the most about the offer was the fact I could buy any card I wanted with a discount, not some random cards I am not interested in. When was the last time we saw offer like that? I think it was at the same time we saw the last Cashback promotion. I don't remember any similar offer where you can buy any card you want with a discount for the last half a year.

I even stopped buying credits, but not because I want to punnish iStripper, but because I don't have any use for them anymore. I will never start buying random cards and I will never start playing gambling games to win random cards. I don't want random cards in my account in the first place. And not less importantly paying for things I don't want is not something I would call an enjoyable experience. In fact it is the opposite for me so I am not doing it.

But not so long ago there was at least 2 or 3 times a year an offer where you could buy what you really wanted with a discount. I just want these times to come back, nothing more. I just want to be able at least 2 times a year to have a chance to buy cards I am interested in with a discount, like it was before.

Is there really so few customers who want to pay only for things they are really interested in? Am I in a minority which is not interesting enough for iStripper anymore? If the answers for these questions are yes, then it is a sad day for me, but I hope there is more people who want old times to come back.

I just want some offer where I can buy any card I want with a discount, like it was before, at least 1-2 times a year, is it really so much? Are the old good times really gone? Please support my comment if there are people who thinks the same way like me. Thank you!

tout servirait à ajouter interrest supplémentaire au spectacle et prolonger la taquinerie.

Pour ceux que cela intéresse bien sûr, ce qui n'est pas une généralité.
those who are interested of course, which is not a generality.
Et que veut ce sondage exactement? Des robes Des robes plus habituelles. Remplacer les longues robes?
Désolé mais je ne comprend pas.
Et beaucoup de filles ne portent pas de robes tous les jours, même jamais pour certaines.
And what exactly does this survey want? Dresses More usual dresses. Replace long dresses?
Sorry but I do not understand.
And a lot of girls don't wear dresses every day, even some never.

Yes certainly such offers have been made in the past, but they used to be rare and I suspect that such offers will still occassionaly be made. I think that if they were to be offered too often for too many categories they would adversely impact regular sales. Think what would happen if one week there was a discount on blonds, the next week on redheads, the next on brunettes, the next on latinas - if I could rely on that sort of pattern I would almost certainly not buy at the regular price.

As far as I can tell the last offer of the same general type as you suggest was at the beginning of January - the class of cards being offered at a 20% discount being those released in 2020. If I remember correctly there was a "nurses" offer sometime earlier in the year but I can't remember the details. I would not be surprised if some other similar offer cropped up in the near future.

In the VGHD days there were, as a permanent feature, discounted "booster packs" for various classes of cards, but their contents were randomly selected. Totem presumably stopped offering them for good business reasons (maybe they were too popular).

For example there used to be TGIF discounts for all blondes or all girls from Latvia. These TGIF sales that are run now have ISTRIPPER choose the shows we purchase.

Very true. I don't remember if it was a TGIF but there was a discount on Russian girls not long after I joined, which was 4 years ago this month. I've been hooked on Russians ever since then.

For example there used to be TGIF discounts for all blondes or all girls from Latvia. These TGIF sales that are run now have ISTRIPPER choose the shows we purchase.

No, its not just you. Several of us have commented on this previously. It doesn't have to be a dress over lingerie, almost anything would do - a fur coat, a rain coat, a cloak, a beach wrap (over a bikini) - all would serve to add extra interrest to the show and prolong the tease.

This last month I reckon only two models have started their show in anything like a normal dress. Normal of course is subjective, but I'm thinking a dress a woman might actually wear in the real world out and about. So Cindy Secret in "Let's Be Daring" and Eve Sweet in "Ethereal Pink Dress" could be classed as normal in my view.
Most shows just seem to be starting with the lingerie or other hide nothing outfits. No tease or anything. Why can't they start with a dress on top? Probably just me? Not bought many shows this last month because of this - glad I didn't do that March pre-buy promo.
Anyway I saw this talk about polls - so here's another one to consider.

I think most of us would rather choose on our own which shows we own.

That is what regular purchases from the store provide.

There used to be discounts offered for various shows.

There still are via the "flash sales" that occur every day (unless you own already almost all cards) not to mention the regular discounts depending on your membership level.

What is that you would like to see that would not be equivalent to a simple price reduction ? Which is something that is offered now and again in the TGIFs - but not, for what should be obvious reasons, on a regular basis.

Every week it's another game to get random shows. I think most of us would rather choose on our own which shows we own. There used to be discounts offered for various shows. That wouldn't be on every show, but there was something for everyone. Let's bring a little power back to the customer.
