No prizes delivered!
Netwinner and all affiliated sites on the internet used to be good sites. They have now turned into scammers. They promise points redeemable for prizes in exchange for playing a game while ads play to the side. After spending all my time racking up the points, I redeemed for a gift card in early December. The site said 6-8 weeks for delivery. NOW, four months later I still have not recieved my gift card. I am currently working with the BBB in thier area and Netwinner is even screwing the BBB around. I have noticed in the last few months they have changed from redeemable prizes, such as gift cards, to fake, waste of time prizes, such as 'chance to win' entries into sweepstakes they claim to be having. Do not waste your time until they get thier act together.

Online fraud
Netwinner's logo is "You play, we pay!" As of May 12, 2008, that is no longer true. During the last two years Netwinner got progressively later with prize fulfillment; rumors began circulating on their forum (Netwinnercentral.com) that they had stopped mailing prizes. This was constantly denied by Netwinner while they continued to assert that they paid their winners and all prizes would definitely be received.
On May 12, 2008, Netwinner President and COO, S. Allen Dean, advised members that due to problems with “fraud”, they were rescinding all pending prize redemptions for debit cards and/or reloads, and replaced them (doubled) with points. At the same time, they eliminated the only remaining cashout prize with tangible value, the $100 E-count card/reload, so the only thing you could do with your new-found points was enter them in raffle drawings! My previously "approved " pending prize of $200 in debit card reloads became 400, 000 points.
Since they had not processed prizes for approximately six months, they defrauded thousands of players for hundreds of thousands of dollars and then have the nerve to state in their (now non-existent forum) that “they are now solvent.” These white-collar criminals need to be held accountable, especially since they managed over the last year to add approximately 75+ partner sites and run millions of streaming ads on their website while they scammed the very same players who help them become a popular site.
