Seriously....don't. And if you are, I advise you stop. For those of you not familiar with it, the general premise is that you play games, and awarded tokens, called icoins, based on how many points you score, to buy tickets for prize drawings. When you enter, you have to click a banner ad to confirm your entry.

Last week, they changed a bunch of shit over, and all the banners were broken images, though still clickable. One small problem, they messed up their cgi and php, so "icoins" were being deducted, but you didn't get entered in a drawing. You would think they'd check this sort of thing, but mistakes DO happen, so I let them know and gave them a week before I tried it again.

I went back just now, and they fixed the banners, but their server is asshole, so the same thing was still happening. They had the banners redirected to the wrong URL half the time, so you were being docked coins w/o an entry.

Does anyone else think this is just a scam to make revenue? I'd like to talk to one of their supposed "winners".
 
I thought for a minute there you meant iwon.com. I use that all the time.
 
My wife has used it and I just passed the warning on to her.
Thanks!

Loosing a load of icoins must be a real ibummer. Thank goodness icoins aren't like ireal huh?
 
Yeah, Flagg, it's not really like I icare or anything, but I still don't like an iscam or an iripoff.
