			<description>&#60;p&#62;Well I'm still watiting on my card to ticketmaster as well. Its been since January since I heard anything from them. &#34;This week we will be announcing some adjustments to future giveaways&#60;br /&#62;
that will ensure &#60;span&#62;Raffstar&#60;/span&#62; does not experience&#60;br /&#62;
the same growing pain twice.&#34; Never saw an update. Starting to give up hope.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I won an $25 iTunes... in Oct.. still processing. I would like to give Raffstar the benefit of the doubt. We'll see if we get any progress on this issue. I would really like to think they are on the up and up..

I deeply apologize for both the silence on Raffstar's end and the delay in receiving your prizes. Both issues are simply unacceptable for a strong, active online service and our team will be actively addressing these issues internally over the next two weeks.  I can personally promise that future inquiries regarding prize status will be responded to promptly as of today.&#60;br /&#62;
Thank you for being patient thus far -- I will post an update on our blog as soon as we reach a solution.[/quote][quote]&#60;br /&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;It is sad to hear that some of the winners are having such difficulties receiving their prizes. Certainly the hard core players have spent a great deal of effort playing on the site thus supporting the feedback needs. I can imagine the frustration of finally winning a prize only to start to seriously doubt if the prize will ever be delivered. I trust that situation is one the management is working hard to overcome.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I think the site wouldn't be in such a decline if they actually sent out prizes. I won a Home Depot gift card back in September and have yet to receive my prize. I've also contacted them and haven't gotten a response.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;It looks like it is fizzeling out... If you look at your tickets on any prize, there are only about 60 others taken between the times that they are ready.  Probably 50 hardcore participants and 30 - 50 regular but casual players.  It really started to die after the xbox was awarded.  And only 7 prizes for around a month???&#60;br /&#62;
&#38;lt;address&#38;gt;I have not ever seen the site advetised anywhere on the web, and Hak5 was the only video podcast to mention it and that was when they had a prize up for giveaway.&#38;lt;/address&#38;gt;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I've gotten my prize too. (won about 6 months ago). I received an email last week stating that my prize had shipped and thought &#34;yeah, right&#34; (I had previously posted to the forum and the &#34;contact us&#34; section and received no response), but an envelope actually showed up in the mail today (Wii gift card sent standard mail). Thanks Raffstar, and good luck to everyone else who is waiting - I hope you don't have to wait as long as I did!

[b]When will I get my prize?[/b]&#60;br /&#62;
You should receive your prize within 4-6 weeks from the time you accept the prize.  Once we ship your item, we will send you an email with your &#60;span&#62;UPS&#60;/span&#62; tracking number.&#34;&#60;br /&#62;
I have sent 2 emails with no response.

Normally it takes at least 4-6 weeks for prizes to ship out.  Since your giveaway ended on Nov. 28th, it's not abnormal for the prize to still be processing.  That said, we are currently experiencing some additional delays that may be affecting you.  I've sent you an email with more information and will be posting a blog this week about what our team is doing to speed up prize delivery.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks!

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I deeply apologize for both the silence on Raffstar's end and the delay in receiving your prizes. Both issues are simply unacceptable for a strong, active online service and our team will be actively addressing these issues internally over the next two weeks.  I can personally promise that future inquiries regarding prize status will be responded to promptly as of today.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thank you for being patient thus far -- I will post an update on our blog as soon as we reach a solution.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
