Guide to Play Games at Winster

Winster is a great community to play online free games for all kinds of prizes. There are many things a person needs to know though before playing. Reading this will help you relate better to the other users too as well as earn more.

Things you should know as a free member of Winster: As free members you do not get the same conversion rate as the paying members. So anything you wish to win, will take twice as long. You also do not have access to the private rooms. And by default your prize is a movie ticket. You can change your prize by clicking on the word “settings”. Settings is also where you can upgrade, change your info and password. Your spins do not roll over to the next day as a free member. You will get commercial interruptions while you play about every 10 minutes.

Warnings: Watch your language in the chat rooms, even if you are upgraded you will lose your account for foul language. You need to have respect for others. If you traded with someone and they refuse to give you back your Winnie that they were meant to give back, contact support@winster.com with their username. I have seen upgraded members try to take advantage of others, hopefully though we can put a stop to this quickly. When contacting support, provide them with as much detailed information as you can.

Something you need to pay attention to is that the cash in button is not the spin button. This can be very confusing with all the trading going on as well as invites. Also, don’t double spin. If the spin light is grey you already pressed the button, just wait for the site lag to pass, other wise you may end up spinning over a Winnie or wild card.

Upgrading: You can upgrade to bronze, silver or gold member to win even points that convert to prizes. With each upgraded membership you get an allotment of spins. Gold upgrade is 1000 spins a day, silver upgrade 500, bronze also known as Basic upgrade 300 you get 300 spins.

To earn more prizes at Winster: Invite friends and family members, being careful of course to not spam. For each person you refer you will receive 10000 points. Fill in your profile information will get you 2000 points. You can also use your referral link and create banners and advertise on paid to read websites and your own website.

Before you play: You need to know several important factors, never cash out a wild card on fruit in the slots. There will always be someone who is willing to trade your wild card for any fruit you need. Cashing out a wild card on fruit upsets other members because it’s a complete waste. If you get a Winnie, the card that looks like the favorite icon of the site, an orange “W” don’t spin it away. Winnie’s are the largest cash out pot and very hard to get a lot of them. You should ask someone to hold on to it if you are going after a different cash out. The problem is, if you trust a newbie to hold on to it for you, you are risking losing it. Before you trade ask someone to hold it for you. That way you are very clear about getting it back when you cash out. I sadly, have seen many cheaters. People claiming they will hold on to it and cash out. Hosts come in handy in this case, as you know they won’t cash out on you.

Once you go into a room, you also have the ability to change rooms, private message a person, block, invite or view their profile. You can do this by hovering your mouse over the smile face by their name at the top. Doing this will also show you any information they don’t mind sharing, such as location.

My thoughts on Winster: I think when someone invites you to a private room, and you don’t wish to attend, you should have the ability to block that person because often times when you reject it, even writing a message, you will still get harassed by that person. And unfortunately if that person isn’t in the room you are in, you have no way of blocking them. I also feel it would be a great option to have the ability to pass not only whatever you have spun, but actual spins. There are upgraded members who would love this option, as it takes forever to expel all their spins. You must log in each day to get your spins though even if you don’t use them. Another thing I would love to see added as an option it the ability to cancel trades you started. The reason I'd like that added is because often times people spin or trade with another and don't cancel your trade, and your trade ends up pointless.

Friends: Winnie Winster is automatically added as one of your friends when you join. Over time you may get invites to be added as someone else’s friend. You will be able to see when they are in rooms and join them to help them win more. Referrals will show up with an “R” badge by their name that makes it easier for you to be able to thank them for joining.

Tips: If you are the only person in a room, change rooms or invite others to join you. The reason you don’t want to be alone is, you have no one to trade with, and most importantly when you spin there aren’t others spinning to that could spin the same as you and earn you 60 points.
