WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] Games gsn

I don't understand why every spin is a loss. Every spin is a LOSS... how about winning once in a while? how about showing me that it's possible to win something / anything?
Every day I get a cheap bonus which lasts 5 - 10 minutes. What is the point ?
A couple of years ago, I had 522 billion tokens. Yupe, Billions... and then bang, every was a loss. Took me to zero, and I haven't had any luck since.
Come onnnnn. This is nonsense.
I sometimes write to the help center and they keep telling me that I will soon get a lucky streak. Well, well... I have been waiting for three years.
What a joke :(
gsn is no good whatsoever :(

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] family feud

I was totally disgusted tonight while watching Family Feud. One of the contestants obviously had a speech problem & Steve Harvey made fun of him on TV. I am totally disgusted and will never ever watch that show again. He is a comedian and being funny is fine, to make fun of someone is not. I am totally disappointed in his actions and will no longer watch the show.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] limited edition bingo games

I have been playing on the gsn.com for many years. However, lately, they keep playing these Limited edition bingo games. I was ok with the first one, since I had accumulated over 23, 000, 000 tokens. However, I kept losing and am now down to just over 3, 000, 000 tokens. These games are designed to have you spend your hard earned income on purchasing special upgrades and purchasing tokens. Don't expect any big wins. It has already cost me over the 1, 000, 000 tokens to win 1, 000, 000 tokens in the current game.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] missing chips

I completed a survey for bingo bash and didn't receive my reward. Screenshots of my purchase and the completed survey. The prize was supposed to be a mega prize. Besides completing the survey, I also shared the post, commented on the post, etc. Everything I was to do in order to get rewarded my mega prize. If I don't get rewarded my mega prize, I think its only fair I receive to cancel my subscription for the Dr Seuss purchase because I only bought it for the mega prize reward! Plz contact me back to let me know why I didn't receive my reward. Ty

Bingo Bash refuses to return my 10, 400 chips which I recently purchased for my iPad, NOT for my iPhone BB game. They have been separate games. On Friday July 3, I saw that my BB on iPhone and iPad were the same game where before they were separate. Somehow they got synched. Unfortunately, my iPad had the most chips, coins, etc because it’s the device I use the most to play BB. Now my 10, 400 chips and over 300, 000 coins have disappeared from my BB on iPad. I have contacted BB 3x but to no avail. How is it possible that BB cannot look at my iPad’s history and see all my info? $200 loss for me. Not sure if I have any other recourse except to live and learn and unfortunately delete the game.

Not sure if I'm at the right place. My Facebook bingo bash game is only giving me 58 daily credits. It was 63 and I am VIP category. My other account was getting 68 and that one dropped to 58 but I think that one is fixed.

I am so similar to Elaine Caputo. 49 chips not 32 but it has become more frustrating as since 7/8 days there is no response to my messages. Approximately 6 complaints. Now flashed up 8 cards I have won but not on my games. Bingo Bash was so great to play during last5/7 months, not now and what I have spent is incredible.

Not able to collect bingo chips when i'm playing on my android. it is constantly telling me I have already collected this gift which I have not. disappointed in this because I only get 38 bingo chips a day. as i've mentioned before I cannot afford to buy chips. so every free gift that I get extends my play which I enjoy every day.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] I paid for tokens and their sight freezes due to their ads and the owe me over 72 million tokens that some tom is refusing to put in my acct.

I was in a bad accident that left me where i can't get around right now so i play hours and hours throughout the day and night. I bought tokens twice. On a regular basis the game freezes and takes millions of tokens often and over the last week and a half i have been trying to get them back and this tom in support is not even reading the support messages. He just send the same exact response saying there was no error and is unable to give me my tokens back. The reason i know he's not reading them is because on two seperate occasions i asked the question how many deacks of cards do you use for triple blackjack before shuffling and on the update tickets it said the same exact thing he seen no errors and could not credit me any tokens. Which means he's not even reading the messages being sent. I also had several instances last week where a lari and shekar responded to my tickets and apologized for the problem and said they added my tokens back in and they didn't. I don't like to call anyone a liar but i know exactly how many tokens i leave in my acct. When i get off. So unless this tom took the tokens back after they put them in before i got back on the computer then, they were never put back in. When i called two different numbers at gsn they both claim you have to go through support but i sent two long complaints asking them to be escalated to the highest boss at gsn.Games and i get an update from tom saying the exact same thing. I am so mad but i am not going to stop till i reach a boss so they know what their employees are doing. There are over a million complaints that i just found out about today. I also am calling my back to get a refund for both purchases i made.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] Fraudulent scam business

I was playing on this site and deposited over $1000. When I tried to withdraw my money I wasn't able to do that. Their website said that I need to provide some of my personal information, but I refused to do that. When I signed up for this service they were not interested in my personal info and they were happy to take my money. But as soon as I decided to get what I earned they made it impossible.
I tried to contact Worldwinner but they did not reply to my messages.
I'm not giving them any information. This site is a scam, all they need is your money!

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] Glitches, unfair matching and bad customer service

I have been playing with GSN Cash Games or Worldwinner for over 9 years. It is a fun place to go and play games for money. I've deposited over $33.000 over the years to play games, and again don't get me wrong it's fun but... there is a problem with their games. Several games have obvious glitches to the point when you request a refund they have that error listed. I refuse to play one game impeticular, Luxor, that after winning a game it would show a different score or have a weird sign the resembles a cross. After numerous times to try to play the glitch is still there. Now there is Solitaire, over the past week I have noticed the cards were sticking to the point where I couldn't move the cards, leaving me no choice but to close the games and request a refund. Then there is the problem with their fair matching protocols. I noticed on a number of occasions while playing a tournament I would click the play again button only to be road blocked by a message stating, "This competition is unavailable to you due to your current FairMatching Rank. Under our commitment to fairness, you are only allowed to participate in competitions against others of similar skill and experience." WHAT! I just spent $100 playing this game and now your telling me that I can't play anymore because my FairMatching rank is off? Here is the catch with that... there is a place to click to see your current competitions and it shows that I had paid for the tournament and to click to play again, you click it, then you’re playing again. Want to talk about a glitch that wasn't caught by the 24-hour surveillance team?
You can always go to customer service who are nothing but helpful... not. They have the worse bedside manner I have ever seen. They should be courteous, polite and eager to help you solve your problem, but they’re not. Their answer to everything is here is your entry fee back. Then for solitaire they told me to reset my computer and use a different browser, did that and still nothing. I complained so much that they closed my account and sent it to the fraud department. I'm angry and heartbroken. I wanted to play but I want to be assured things are being looked into. This company is the same company that bring you games like Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune, same ones you see on TV, but they can't handle this?

This here is not a safe place to play for cash, the games are glitched, the FairMatching is rigged and their customer service is horrible. Until they can problem otherwise, this is not a safe place to play.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] cash games

I stopped playing for a while with over $20 in my account (I think it was $20.78). Got a letter stating that I was a VIP customer and they wanted me to come back so they put a "Game Credit gift" in my account. Logged in to see what it was and all of my money was gone as in $0 in my account. Kind of the opposite of what I expected. I have submitted a question but it's not really worth my time to be honest. The games are so slow.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] games taken my tokens

I don't like to complain, but I am on a fixed income and I buy tokens all the time. Lately the games freeze causing me to loose large amount of tokens. Today 3/6/15 I won 127, 000 tokens but when I played 4 games of Bingo at 2, 000 per game, the game left me with a balance of 4, 254 tokens. now I paid for those tokens and I want them back, also on the 3rd of this month the Slots took over a million of my tokens. I won those tokens and I want them back. Please help me. I tried to contact [protected]@gsn.com to no avail .I love playing these games but I feel Iam being taken for a ride.

I have had problems with GSN for years now which seemed trivial compared to a fortnight ago I had in my account 147, 000, 000 tokens and within a day and a half I had lost them not because I was betting large amounts because they have done something to change the state of play how long does it take to get free spins very rarely the bingo has been fiddled about with no more multiple wins the big pay outs have been ditched in fact there is not one games that has not been tampered with I find this disgusting if it such a rated app why do they have to resort to tactics like this surely they are making enough money to run an honest game

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] Theft

I play this game often and purchase a lot of tokens and extra ball or patterns and this company will get my money then in the middle of playing the game they technicle problems and the game says to quit or restart in which you loose what ever you already won or spent and this is a constance now either with tokens or other purchases from your card they claim to have suddenly lost the connection but there's never anything wrong with my connection when I check it and the games restarts immediately ponder that in the past month I have been duped 6"x and this seem to becoming a habit But only once I make the purchase played yesterday without buying anything and form 2 am til 2 pm today with no sudden interruptions but as soon as I place a order to buy more tokens or Balls the system suddenly becomes disconnected and/or while you"re playing it locks and tell you to quit to game and once you quit the game you loose the money you spent and anything that you are winning before this miraculous breakdown and they need to check this and reemburse me for my money taken from my credit card which is a total of $ 6.30 and 250, 000 tokens which about $50 and Also improve their contact with the customer because if I could contact them I wouldn't be here complaining Jackie Papadakis

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] - gsn is deceptive!

I signed up and played on their free games for about a year. I collected 70k points. They show you a $100 gift card if you get 68k points. All you have to do is sign up to be a real money player and the gift is yours. Not so fast. I payed.99 cents to sign up and then they converted all my points to $20 in play cash and $15 bonus play cash. What? Where is my...

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] Biggest rip off

Donot waste your time and money. No matter how smart, fast, calculating or good you are as a gamer on any other site, you wont be on worldwinner. Even when you have an outrageously high score, for some reason that competition takes an additional 3 hours before its completed. And guess what? That last person who entred wins by 5 points. Or if you happen to re enter and say you are the last person to fill the last open slot and youre getting an outrageously high score, oops youre disconnected. Even if youre hard wired. Explain how you get disconnected when youre not using a wireless connection? And another site you also happen to be gaming on isnt disconnected? Thats how worldwinner does it. You get to win maybe 2 out of 30 times. Forget that when you play the free tournaments you always get an outrageously high score and win every single time. This site so blatanty rips you off.

I have lost big time there... no matter how good you play, they will find someone better for the last spot. You win just enough to keep you coming back and the more you get addicted and put in to it, the more obvious it becomes that they are ripping you off. stay clear of this site or lose it all... there is no such thing as winning.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] false advertising

Dont waste your time trying to get reward points from superrewards on worldwinner. The so called free offers they claim you only have to register your name and info etc turns into taking a minimum 20 minute survey. They advertise points awarded upon completion of registration turns into you having to copy and paste proof that you did so 95% of the time. If its not that they want a screen shot. It turns into a minimum of 30 minutes of your time just to get a few reward points. Its rediculous.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] unauthorized use of other people's credit cards

worldwinner and mastercard international is a trap for people who have ADHD. It is a fact - the government knows it, worldwinner, mastercard and any psychiatrist knows it - that most gambling addicts have this disorder (check out website of Dr. Umesh Jain, Addictions, Clark Institute, Toronto)

I do not know of any other website which will allow you to open an account using someone else's name and credit card except worldwinner. I found out last week that my boyfriend of many years used my credit card information without my knowledge or consent, and racked up several thousand dollars on my card, and no one ever contacted me. Whereas, I've been on business trips outside my area of residence, and was contacted by the credit card company to ensure that it hadn't been stolen.

A class action suit should be brought against worldwinner and mastercard.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] I think sites like this should be shut down

This site is incredible. Since a long time you get incorrect scores when you play. I must admit they will refund the money from the game where that happenes but that's not how you want to play. It's frustrating to the bones. I have emailed them a million times but all I get are these annoying automatic anwsers that my question will be evaluated. Nothing happens though. And now they have banned me from going to the community board because I have been complaining there (like many others) ... the board is obviously only there for positive feedback. And they have also blocked me from talking to other players. I think sites like this should be shut down but well, as a player you are just a nothing. Shame on this site.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] TAXES

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD...IF YOU PLAY WORLDWINNER YOU WILL PAY TAXES EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE MONEY OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT IT IS NOT CONSIDERED GAMBLING! BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO WITHDRAWAL IT IS NOT CONSIDERED GAMBLING! THEREFOR THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN EXEMPT WORLDWINNER NET WINNINGS IS TO USE ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS! FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE NET WINNINGS OF 10, 000 ITS WORTHLESS BECAUSE THE STANDARD DEDUCTION IS BIGGER! SO WE ARE STUCK PAYING TAXES ON 10, 000 THAT WE PUT BACK INTO THE GAME! BE AWARE!

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] robbing people of money

I have lost about $1000 dollars from this site, but after reading complaints I realized that they tax people on winnings only and not losses. So I looked at my account and it said I won over $9000. Now I am worried that I am going to have to pay taxes on that even though I really lost money. From what I've read they only count anything you won even if you never cash it out and keep playing but lose money. I kept trying to win back the money I lost but since they don't count losses I am going to get screwed on taxes next year. I am really worried about how much they are going to make me pay, even though I lost. I am staying far away from this website and hopefully I can save someone from making the same stupid mistake I made.

Please all..go to all of your social media sites that you belong to and spread the word about this cheating site. If you have played it a few times you know that its a cheat. You win just enough to keep you interested, but you can never win! You will be able to tell how certain games change as you play them, once you win a few games, it seems to get harder and harder to win again, but since you have won previously you keep trying. Just look at some of the winnings on the games. On certain games, the entry fee is .88 cents and first place is 1.50. You grand total winning for first place is .62! LOL...for first place. That's just one example of many scams that this site is running. Remember to tell everyone you know to avoid this site like the plague. WORLD WINNER.COM IS A COMPLETE PONZI SCHEME! Don't pay for their speed boats and summer homes, keep your hard earned money. Increase your odds and go play your local lotto.

Every single time I rack up enough points in a game to surely win the match, the game disconnects so I lose everything. Then I have to wait a day or two to get credits refunded. They take my cash and disconnect the game I was going to win on then give me credits that can only be used toward more disconnecting games. This is definitely robbery.

Yea Worldwinner Is Crap.
For every game you play (win or lose) you receive "reward points" which can be spent in their rewards store from anything to $5 in game credits to $500 gift cards.
i spent the better part of 6 MONTHS saving up my points, eyeing a $200 Home Depot gift card (113, 475 Points).
Once i reached the required points, i cashed them out for the card.
after waiting a month with no card or responce..i contacted Worldwinner through email, told them no card and my address was the same as they had on file..they claimed to have sent it and agreed to send another because we all know [censored] happens with the USPS.
I demanded delivery confirmation (tracking) $.85 cents this time, after waiting yet another month, i received no gift card and no tracking once again...and here it is over a year later and my roof still LEAKS! - NEVER AGAIN! Worldwinner
And the B.S. tax form they send for money you never receive, is balled up and thrown in the trash..or at the neighbors cat!

Spiritual -

WorldWinner is not considered to be a gambling site. Being that the games featured take into account actual skill than sheer luck, it is not prohibited in the U.S. as a gambling site.

World Winner is a complete nightmare in online gaming/gambling. It seems as though when you win a 5-player tournament of Bejeweled, for example, then you play it again, you are 99% to 100% going to lose the second time around. It's like World Winner penalizes you for winning. All I have to say is that I totally agree with the above complaint and that World Winner is a horrible money-consuming website that should not exist. This website has got me in some serious financial issues. I thought that online gambling was illegal in the United States.

WorldWinner / Game Show Network [GSN] scam

This program is a scam. Me and additional players recognized a pattern in which the same person was winning over and over--and not b/c they were good at the game. For example, you can't come up w/ the answer to a Wheel-of-Fortune answer unless you reveal at least a FEW letters. However, they were doing so with many of the games in the program at Worldwinner.com. When you try to cash out your account, it ends up being closed & you're never refunded. Not only did I go in debt due to this, but I was also required to pay taxes on it for the year 2008.
