I was going through the past Promo blinks to see the winners and their numbers and I saw this.
http://cogdev.net/blink/?act=profile&id=90449485
Person has played 7 blinks. Won once. Has 10 achievements somehow, 0 isk blinked, and magically won a 500mil promo? Also, favorite blinks total up to 16, while played 7 blinks? |

Hiya!
He's played 7 normal blinks, but won none of them
He's played quite a few promos, and won one.
Promos don't count as "Blinks played" or "value of blinks won," but they can show up as favorite Blinks.
Basically, it's someone who deposited a big wadge of ISK, but only plays a Blink when they need to get eligible to play a promo :) Somer Blink - The original microlottery site. |

Makes sense. Thanks for that quick response. I see you like to clarify anything before people make it into a conspiracy theory, lol.
Well, I'll see you on blink =)
P.S. I'd love to win one of those as well ;) |

Outstanding program, good service, prompt response times.
Claimed 300mil in ships by accident when I wanted isk, and brought it up to them. They quickly and neatly reversed the process as soon as I had contracted back the ships, and I was able to claim my isk. +1 |

So apprently when I got off work today, I (attempted) to log into Blink only to be faced by an "Automation Detected" pop up. Not sure why I am getting this message. I've never used an automation in my life. Just becasue I'm on blink 24/7 doesn't mean I use an automation...
Some help would be appreciated,
Cheers, Antoni |

Hey Boys and Girls - let's have some fun with some math!
Let;s see Blink gives FREE gifts to their CUSTOMERS at each benchmark celebration. They are having one now and they had one two weeks ago.
Right now they have 70,794 members, some of them have just joined and have not reached the threshold of being real CUSTOMERS, yet.
I just looked at the last 15 FREE gifts Blink gave to their CUSTOMERS! The smallest gift is 5 million ISK, but some get a LOT more. In fact, one of these 15 CUSTOMERS received a free PHANTASM that is selling in Jita right now for 156 million! And it was FREE! But maybe there is not one of those in every 15 gifts. Remember, Simple is the way we want to go so let's just say that each and every one gets a FREE 5 million ISK GIFT at the beginning of each benchmark celebration.
So what do you think Eve players would do if they could sign up and get a FREE 5 million ISK at each selebration without becoming a real CUSTOMER?
Oh, you are all so smart! Yes! everyone would sign up and get lots of FREE ISK! Some may deposit a little and some may deposit a lot, but Blink had to set a number for a minimum deposit - Which is the person's ISK credit and could be withdrawn as they win prizes.
Let's put some numbers with that.
Right now, Blink has 70796 members, so let's say only 70 thousand are actually CUSTOMERS and every one of them got the lowest amount of only 5 million ISK. How much would that be for ONE celebration? Jimmy, that laptop your parents gave you sure came in handy! Yes, that would be 350,000,000,000. Can anyone tell me how much that is with all those confusing zeroes?
That's Right Linda, 350 Billion in FREE Gifts for each celebration - But we really know the actual number is much higher.
One last calculation - Let's say that Blink only has 12 celebrations a year because it is a little unusual for them to do two celebrations so close together as these two. These two are so close together because Blink is growing so fast. They have a celebration when the CUSTOMERS have won another 50 trillion in prizes Yes - that is TRILLION - with a Capital T!
So far this year they have had six celebrations and we are a month and a half away from being halfway through this year. Well, as soon as one week long celebration runs into the next week long celebration, then Blink will have to raise the amount the CUSTOMERS have won before they have another celebration. Only the People at Blink know how much they will raise it . The new amount of prizes won by CUSTOMERS may go to 75 TRILLION between Celebrations or even 100 TRILLION. We will just have to wait and see.
But REMEMBER - SIMPLE, we want to keep it simple. So let's use just 12 celebrations per year for now.... So,
12 x 350,000,000,000 = Well, right away, I can tell you... its a lot!
Great ANSWER, Fuzzy! 4,200,000,000,000 Congress may not think it is not very much, but 4 decimal point 2 TRILLION seems like a lot to me.
Oh wait a minute, I can't even count! Oh don't back up, when I stomp my foot, I was not mad with you, I was mad with ME! We were talking about all those other Eve Players signing up for blink just to collect the FREE celebration prizes without ever becoming full fledged CUSTOMERS. So how many Eve players are there? Well, this is only something CCP (maybe) knows, because so many players have more than several accounts and at Blink, each human can only have one Blink account.
Oh, I know you are all excited about that, but settle down and let's guess how many humans really play Eve - Remember - keep it SIMPLE or you could say we are using the KISS principle - Keep It SIMPLE STUPID! Let's say only 200 hundred thousand even bother to sign up for FREE ISK from Blink. Who can tell us how much that would cost Blink in FREE ISK every celebration?
That's RIGHT, QUEENIE! You are going to be the first pup picked out of this litter!
200,000 times one FREE gift of 5 Million per celebration would equal an even 1 trillion worth of FREE gifts Blink would have to pay for at each celebration and if they have 12 celebrations a year, that is a smooth 12 TRILLION ISK in FREE gifts that are really given away at the door. Then there are billions more in Mini-Bbnks which are really FREE to play as they are paid for with tokens which CUSTOMERS get for FREE for just playing. And the Big Bonk often exceeds the amount it brings in. They have a feature called the 2X Bonus, so at random, players who win a frigate or even a dreadnought have a chance of receiving two of them instead of just the one they bought a ticket for. Then there are the Promos, and I've already seen Rorquals be won for a single FREE token - remember in the Promos, each player gets only one ticket for one FREE token. Then they have the Blink Blast at the end where they draw one ticket from a list of each CUSTOMER who has played every Mini-Bonk for a FREE token and bought at least one Bonk ticket for only a half of a million ISK - Well, each of these CUSTOMERS gets one chance per CUSTOMER to win 50 BILLION ISK and Blink draws FIVE WINNERS so that totals 250 BILLION.
This Celebration is not even a day old and CUSTOMERS have already won over 5 TRILLION in prizes.
Now I have to mention this. I held off bringing this up as long as I could because it is so sad. Every Celebration, some people put on their tin foil hats and start declaring Blink to be a scam and they always say they have proof that will soon be revealed - but no proof has ever been revealed. Blink is a Casino, so that means GAMBLING! People lose and instead of blaming themselves, they blame Blink. So Sad. |

I've been playing Blinks for over a year. In fact, I last played a bunch during the last celebration (700T). I've deposited 330m since I started, and have 475m available at Somer.Blink currently.
I don't understand, why do I have to deposit more ISK? I didn't during the last celebration. |

Likewise, prompted to deposit more. I'm not really complaining about a lack of free stuff, but I just find it odd that I never got prompted before. Member of the EVE Blog Pack - Through Newb Eyes Twitter - TG_3 |

Hiya!
We had an issue where certain people were registering accounts, then not using the service. They were returning each celebration with their hand out, expecting a charity. Some of them, sometimes but not usually, might deposit another 2-5m after they claimed their 5-250m free gift. Most didn't.
We wanted gifts to be rewards to people who use our service.
So we set a requirement that folks have deposited at least 50m ISK for each gift they've opened.
The gifts were never meant to be a charity open to anyone who could put their hand out. They were meant to be a reward to people who actually use the service.
And, bottom line - if someone requires they be given 5-250m for every 2-5m deposit they occasionally make every 3-5 months, we're okay with them not using our service anymore. The people who actually use the service to gamble, rather than as a charity, seem to approve of the change since it allows us to spend more on promos for the active players.

Andrev,
I can completely understand your reasoning for making the change. As you may be able to see from my account history (I don't know if you can, or not, but feel free to look), I've been playing blinks for over a year. I may have deposited "only" 330m ISK (and won over 4b (thanks to a lucky bonk)). I generally play more during the ISK celebrations, but I also definitely blink quite often (just hit 500 today, actually, so more than once a day, on average?).
Having said that, my concern isn't that you've (Somer Blink) made this change, but that this change doesn't appear ANYWHERE on your website that I can tell. I checked the site, then I went to the help channel (which was unhelpful), then came here, and FINALLY sent an Eve Mail to Somerset Mahm. It was only after that that I found out about the change. I would expect a change like this to be listed in one of the following places, at the very least:
- On the "claim your gift" page. Seriously. You tell a person they have to deposit hundreds of millions more ISK without an explanation of why. - On the "Get the details" page describing what the celebration is all about. - On the "How to Play" page describing what Somer Blink is all about.
Barring one of those three very obvious choices, I would expect the help channel or this very forum thread to have some indication of the change. A player shouldn't be confronted by a message that they have to deposit more ISK without any indication as to why.
Again, I understand what you're trying to accomplish. How you've done it, however, leaves a lot to be desired, and is rather offputting, at the very least. |

Sure, I getcha :)
We tried a few phrasings on the gift pages in the first few hours, actually, to try and convey the "You must have, in the lifetime of your account, deposited 50m isk per gift you've previously opened to keep opening gifts." - but this change affects such a tiny tiny tiny subset of Blinkers, the various wordings wound up just confusing the other players as to what it was talking about. We tried to refine the message via the error that that subset would see instead.
I apologize that the help channel wasn't more informative - we do our best to staff it 24/7, but there's only so much surity that can be managed in that regard before "Video game" becomes "second job" :p We're working to expand staff even more to help with that, though :) Somer Blink - The original microlottery site. |

one question , if i get isk as prize , and deposit them it coount's as ISK deposited ... if i chose blink credit+5% it doesnt , due to comodity i started chosing blink credit , but only now realised it doesnt add to the count , why so ? i mean i can understand that 5% shouldnt be counted , but the full price ? Its seems better just claim prize , sell , and then deposit isk as i get all the benefits , takes more time but i aint loosing anything , usually making a sell order (instead of just selling) makes up for those 5% i miss , so just wondering about the reason behind blink cred not counting as deposit :o Opportunities multiply as they are seized. |

This evening, on the anniversary of being made redundant in rl , and with very little hope of finding a job anytime soon , I was feeling particularly (and I might add; unusually) low.
As a result, I mentioned in the Somer Blink channel that as I had approximately 4-weeks left on my Eve subscription, and would be unable to continue playing Eve after that time, I would probably be selling my character and giving away the proceeds in channel games (Somer willing ofc).
I have to be honest; the response was both instantaneous and absolutely amazing. Within minutes I was inundated with e-mails, convo's, messages of support / condolences, deposits and enough plex contracts to have kept me going for another 12 months!
Being much too proud to accept these handouts (however generous and well-meaning) I returned all said deposits and did not accept the contracts).
I will not name my generous benefactors without their consent; suffice it say that there are many, many, unbelievably generous, kind-hearted and magnanimous individuals out their who, without a moments hesitation, were willing to help out a complete stranger (for no material or selfish gain) simply because he was going through a bad patch in RL.
'Tis only pixels' be damned; behind the carefully sculpted avatars, killboard stats, alliance affiliations and playstyles; you guys made me realise that New Eden isn't half as bad as some would have us believe. And to the real flesh and blood people behind the pixels I would like to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
As a result of this rather cathartic experience; I will hold off on selling my toon and re-double my efforts on finding another job in rl in order to somehow acknowledge your amazing generosity and support.
Thanks Guys!

Rigged. Full of "bot" accounts who win constantly, counted over 15, if they show up on the blink - they win no matter what. Full of accounts which are created just a few months ago but on sommer blink there are playing from 2012 lol. And all those fresh accounts with billions of ISK won, yeah tell me more how this is legit! |

Ok now after the 750Trillion Celebration. After reading the drawing they " draw the winners" I Have to attest this is a scam. Why would somone like Replacement 234 as the there go to person always say hey somer blink is for real well ya no kidding if your winning almost every bonk that has been and what happened to the person that was not even made in game as of yet winning they are gone off there page now you cant even find them.
The odds of somone supposdly so dang high that this person has won so much? on the bonks and mini-bonks? As Chirriba has stated his dice are good. What they do with it is up to them yet I have messed around with this DIce application and yes you can adjust the dice after is has rolled.
Then replacment has posted aswell as being broke when trying to purchase a Char. Yet is low on isk after he/she has won 11,577,280,004,300 ISK as of this posting jjust not possable so with that blink you can kiss this person goodbye.
And on another note They got rid of Shattered Crystal thats fine but Be warned Markee Dragon or what ever its called has ripped me off over $700 so have fun with that one. |
