Recently I bought some plex for 10b and tried to play on Iwant isk. Lost all.

The winners are always the same people, new created toons. Alts of the site creator i guess.

I'll never invest a single isk to that site again.

this should be a warning.

Why would anyone burn a gambling site capable of syphoning hundreds of billions for just a few billion?

Of course it's a scam. Most of the gambling sites use shills to "win" isk out of the system. Come out from whatever rock you've been living under.

So the OP is shiptoasting without bread?

Thanks so much for the warning. "We" appreciate it. Really. Roll

In his biography Sammy "The Bull" Gravano (The Underboss) is quoted as saying, "If it weren't for people wanting something for nothing the Mafia wouldn't exist." He should know. (Let that be your warning.)

EDIT: Just read the OP's name. NEVERMIND.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Recently I bought $1000 worth of credits to play on slot machines. Lost all.

The winners are always the machines. Cash cows of the owner I guess.

I'll never invest a single dollar on such a machine again.

this should be a warning.

I'm isk-positive from that service and will continue using their free promos to extract 40-80 million per every 3rd free key.

Hint: don't use your own isk to play there.

I thought people wised up to the whole "gambling with ISK" thing during the days of EVE Radio contests. I guess I was wrong. Anyone want to flip some cards?

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Idiocracy really is coming to pass. Ugh

I do not like the men on this spaceship. They are uncouth and fail to appreciate my better qualities. I have something of value to contribute to this mission if only they would realize it. - Bill Frug

Iwantisk.com, just like many of the other lottery/draw sites, preys on the stupid, using obvious shills to scoop most of the larger prizes themselves. But congratulations, on paying for the site owner and his friend's new ships.

Anyone who believes that iwantisk and similar sites are not blatantly obvious scams, I am giving away all my isk, any amount you send me, I will send you 5x back.

No, he lost 10B. He's shiptoasting without ships.

A name like "Iwantisk" should've been the first clue.

Exactly.

Thread locked as most definitely will lead to a lot of troll posts.
