I signed up about a month ago and decided to upgrade to a Gold membership.  This week they announced they are giving me more spins but that prizes will take longer to win.  That was an understatement.  If you cant at least double what you paid($9.99)  why bother playing? … read full review »

     I think I have fallen in love with Winster.com.  I stumbled upon Winster.com a couple a months ago since I have been trying to figure out ways I could make some extra money online.  I have a limited income, so any little extra helps.  Winster.com is a game site that does cost to play, but if you play every day you will make more money than you put into it.  I pay 9.99 a month for 1000 spins a day.  Usually, I make about $50-75 a month in gift cards.  You can do the math, but I am coming out way ahead. —      The… read full review »

  If you are looking for a place to play games, win prizes, and really make some good friends, come to Winster.com !  There are two ways to play.  You can play for absolutely free, and win real prizes, or you can join, with three paying membership levels, and earn your prizes FOUR times faster than free players.  The gold level membership is the absolute best for getting a LOT more than your money's worth!!   And it is only $9.99 per month.  I have been playing there since Jan. of 2007, and became a member there about a month later.  I was asked to… read full review »

You will notice that there is little positive feedback over the past couple of months.  That is because Winster changed their program and reduced the amount of points players receive by as much as 75% on some games.  They did not warn any of their new players that this change was going into effect.  They simply made the change and expected everyone to accept it.  It takes a long time to earn anything at all.  In order to earn your monthly fee, expect to play a minimum of 3-6 hours EACH day to match your monthly expense.  In addition, they have constant technical… read full review »

My family loves mexican food. Heck they love food period... — Many of you joined this site from other sites promoting it. The same site mypoints.com that linked me to Viewpoints.com linked me with winster.com. It is a cool site for playing a variety of online games. Burger Buddy and Match Maker are my two favorite games. They offer a free trial period and modest fees to continue after the trial period. — — If you have any problems, they offer an awesome support system and correct the problems promptly. You get to select the prizes you want to win and work towards the prize… read full review »

This is a fun site to pass some free time on your PC. You have several game formats (all of them very simple to play) to choose from. Rather than playing against the other people playing you play with them. The players make trades for example if I have a piece of a puzzle or a card or a letter (all depending on which game you are playing) that I don't need I can give it to another player who does need it, and the other players do the same for you. You play the games for points and your points are cashed in for prizes. The points required for the prizes are… read full review »

I started this and at first loved it until it came time to getting the prize.  I joined just $4.75 or $4.95 a month I think, I don't remember for sure, anyway, I chose not to rebate my first prize -- the postage would have been as much as the gift!  — When I came close to claiming my second prize I played and unless you played everyday you didn't get your 150 spins (they were credited daily).  I was paying for the spins, however, if for some reason I wasn't able to get to the computer that day, when I did log in I just got the spins for that day. —  Low and… read full review »

Since I signed up with Winster, I have met a lot of really wonderful people. We play together and help each other get points. With Winster, you can play, visit, and earn all at the same time. — Some of the games are kind of lame, but depending on how much of a challenge you want, there are several games that will entertain you . If you are joining Winster because you want to be very challenged, you might not find what you are looking for, but if you want to play some fun games, make some new friends and earn some $$ on the side, you will definately find it here. —… read full review »

I had a friend suggest Winster to me because they knew that I like playing games on Pogo.  I got pretty addicted when I first got on.  You can chat while playing just like Pogo.  But unlike Pogo, there isn't a lot of variety.  — All of the games are like slot machines but with a twist.  Unlike slot machines, you can just spin the ones you want and save your spins on the other squares.  Like a slot machine you have 5 squares.  You spin the square you choose and you can spin it as many times as you want till you get what you want.  Then once you… read full review »

I came across Winster.com via one of those email portal sites that gives you points for checking out other sites. Winster was advertised and so I bit. I am always one to check the "fine print" to be certain no credit card is required since I do not want to be roped into buying something I have no use for. This site requires nothing up front to play but as others have said in their reviews, if you want to earn points (toward an eventual prize) you can pay the membership fee to up your ability to earn faster. It explains how to play the games simply enough and it does emphasize how other… read full review »

I was introduced to WInster game few months ago through mypoints.com. So i signed up at WInters in order to get the 750mypoints. I had 200 free spins everyday without upgrading the membership, which I did not even have to pay a dime for that. So i played almost everyday for like almost two months to get enough points to actually get my prize. I couldnt deny it was fun when i got bored surfing on the internet, but it jus took too much time to win a tiny little prize. Then I was offered a omaha steak gift card provided that i have to collect 10 times of the points that i collected for my… read full review »

Hey everybody, —  I am new to this site, so I thought that I would start with something that I have a passion for; saving money! I love to budget and find a great deal. My family calls me Scrooge. But they are always shocked when they find out how much money I actually spend on big ticket items and designer goods. Oh, and I don't spend all of my time finding these deals. I will have many more to "deal finders" to tell you about...but this is my latest little hobby. O.K. so I love to play cards and games...specifically cards! There is this great little website that some of you may… read full review »

Winnie Winster, who is apparent originator and/or inspiration to winster.com has taken time to create a fun way to play online games for a relatively cheap price, while being able to interact with pretty cool people, while earning points that you can redeem for moderate prizes.  —  As I have been a member for a few months, I have found that the only matter that can cause problems with payments is if you switch between the memberships in the middle of your billing cycle; even when downgrading; their computer system is somehow programmed to charge any difference, if you… read full review »

Winster site is a completely flash based set of games where games are cooperative not competive.  With each win you gain points which can be used for prizes however you do not earn them quickly.  They also start you with a large amount of points but that only attempts to hide how many points it takes to earn even the smallest prize. — — What is worse than the amount of points needed to win a prize is the pause for ads incorporated into site.  Every so often the game pauses for 30 seconds - because this is a cooperative game everyone gets penalized.  The… read full review »
