I won a $25 Home Depot gift card on September 17, 2009. It is now September 20, 2010. I have yet to recieve my prize or any response to my repeated attempts to contact them. I would at least appreciate an explanation as to why they would deny the winners the prizes they WON. What's going on, Raffstar?<br /> P.S. If it means anything, I refuse to enter any more giveaways. I will also tell friends who use this website to do the same. </p> http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/your-certificate-expired#post-342 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:57:07 +0000 izual1 342@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ <p>Hey, your certificate expired....you should fix that. </p> http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/is-this-site-dead#post-326 Thu, 13 May 2010 06:10:55 +0000 ToyHammer 326@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ <p>No New prizes in months, no activity on these forums.

Also, love the new site features. I was gonna give up until I finally got my prize(s). Took a few months and I was rewarded a second prize for the wait. I got two 1600 xbox live points cards. Thank you so much Raffstar and Travis. I want to spread the word so I would like some suggestions to do it in a tasteful way. http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/prize-still-has-not-shipped#post-160 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 04:50:35 +0000 bigray12 160@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ <p>Hey I sent a message in the &quot;contact us&quot; section, but I just realized that I forgot to include my email address. Basically, it's been 7 weeks since I won the gamefly subscription and it still says &quot;processing&quot; on my profile page.

The number of ongoing games have seriously declined lately. More important, the same people seem to dominate all the lists. Thankfully, a good number of light players periodically win a prize, yet too many heavy players win too frequently. Drastic changes are need for this site to survive, in my opinion. It's not what you can "prove" with statistics. It's the perceptions of the players that is going to determine loyalty and widespread participation. Some aspects of the site, such as knowing when the game is ending, is very useful. Seeing the same names on top of every list all the time while ones self is mired in 50th place or lower is discouraging despite the knowledge that in reality any player with so much as one ticket can win any prize. A good part of the fun of using this particular site is the thrill of seeing ones own name at the top of some lists as a result of the effort and time one puts in. That is impossible to do except for a few hours at the beginning of a new quick game,due to the fact that some players are able to post every hour or very nearly so 24 hours a day for week after week. Interesting that a certain individual never misses getting a ticket in any hour for all the games the player dominates, yet the same player never claimed a prize that he had won in an hour he still got more tickets. Again, I think a lot of us are here more to have various kinds of fun in addition to hoping to win an occasional prize. I am fortunate in the respect that since I am retired, I can usually catch the one ticket per day games early in their posting, so I can be at or near the top of those lists as a reward for my diligence. Yet, I still think it would be nice to devise some sort of workable restrictions, if possible, to make it possible for more players to attain the top ten on more lists. It is especially aggravating to see a heavy player with three slots on the winner board while my best draw on that game might be 475th. I know that  is just the way that random draws work when players with multiple tickets are involved. Problem is that when you have many games where the near 24 hours a day players have a couple of thousand tickets compared to 30 or 40 tickets for the average player, that is going to happen all too frequently and spoil some of the fun for the lighter players. I question whether a game site dominated by a relatively small core of heavy players, including some who may have found a way to automate their play, is the situation the supporting advertisers and potential  supporting advertisers really want to see. Hopefully you are still working out ways to control and enhance the thrill of play for all the participants, in order to eventually make this a "must visit and play" site for huge numbers of site visitors. Right now, I think you still have a long ways to go to get this site ready for "prime time." </p> http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/user-count-update#post-135 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:55:07 +0000 IndyMac 135@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ So what are we up to now? It kind of seems like things are going slower than before. Can't wait for the new features. http://www.raffstar.com/forum/topic/got-my-tiffany-heart-pendant#post-266 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:24:08 +0000 sassquatch 266@http://www.raffstar.com/forum/ Received this week, won on 3/19/09, thanks Raffstar staff.
