A prize structure suggestion   Reply to topic

If you award a Special Theme Contest every single month (BJ4Bs lasted 3 + months) and valuing a Premium membership at $39.95, the new prize structure pays $3579.65 per month or $42,955.80 per year, not $5000 per month or $60,000 per year. Maybe you should consider going back to the 4 prizes of $250 each. Winning isn’t about the money but it’s nice to get a decent dinner out of it. You guys are the only people making money on this. People GIVE you the pictures. You have people reviewing the entries for free. A pretty sweet deal. Please don’t lower the prize values. Thank you.
(300+200+100)+(300+200+100)+(300+200+100)+(200+150+100)+(200+150+100)+(100+100+100)+(100+100+100)+(7x39.95) = $3579.65

Hi bud,

Thanks for your input. If we AWARD 50 or 60 thousand dollars a year, how can WE be the ONLY ones making money!?! hehe

The new prizes are reflective of what our winners told us they'd like to see. We have had some people complaining that their high votes were not rewarded fairly, ie the person with 4th highest votes gets the same.

Also, we have recently had people renigging on the cash prize, in favor of a Premium membership, hence the inclusion of these into the prize fund.

We also have liberty to extend the Theme Prize funds depending on their popularity.

Hope that explains things.

Regards,
Luke

I don't mind the prizes being of equal value, but why did the prize money drop so much for the hardcore video contributors? Also, if a fouth place winner in a contest already has a premium membership, how is the prize of a premium membership handled?

Hi there,

Our prizes are done by popularity. Ie we posted between 15-20 amateur sets per day, so it seemed unbalanced to have the same top prize there as in hardcore videos, where it is 3-5 per day. Therefore amateur top spot has increased and hard video one has decreased.

Also, if people have a premium pass already, they will be able to claim a pass to one of our sister sites, videowish.com or spycam.tv

Thanks,
Luke

Thanks for the explanation.

The lowest cash prize I have ever seen on this site was $100. And someone told you to keep the money and give them a $40 membership instead? I guess you did get Manhattan for $24
I can understand the different amounts for the different categories and even accept that the top vote getter wants more. But why did the total amount given per month for all entries drop so dramatically? The total has been reduced almost 30%. Using Hard Core photos as an example, you used to give away $1000 per month. Under the new structure you will give away $640. The only category that goes up is soft core videos and that increase is $40, all others drop.
The bible says “Do not bind the mouth of the kine that tread the corn” or in more modern terms, “Do not deprive the women of clothes, that they may remove in a slow and sexy way, for us later that night.”

Hey there Honey,

I have now set up your pass, as per my email.

If you win a pass whilst your current one is running, we can offer you a pass to one of our other sites, videowish.com or spycam.tv to the same amount.

Some people like the new prize structure, some people don't. I'm afraid you can please some of the people all of the time...etc.

Thanks,
Ed

Let me guess who the people are that most like the new prize structure. Would they happen to live in The Netherlands?
