PTR

Anyone into the PTR stuff ?
For those of you who don't know, PTR stands for Paid-to-Read. You can figure it out what it means.

I've used prizee.com so far, made 7 euros and then lost it at a stupid redemption game (there was supposed to be a random reward, like a keychain, a stuffed doll, a pen and something like that, but i didn't read anywhere that you could lose) and guess what.. i've lost.
I know prizee is not a PTR... but it is something you can make money out of, and it's really fun compared to the boring read email programs.

A friend of mine tried nocs.us but got bored of it. I haven't tried anything like that yet, because 1 cent for an email or something similar.. i'd rather pass Smile

I've seen there are a lot of fake PTRs, so be warned: http://ptr.kennethballard.com/scams.php !

Yes, i've tried some of them but most of them are spamming your email inbox and scamming you. So this doesn't make you rich, it only makes you lose your spare time and your email-account full of crappy emails.

Strafe, i didn't know Prizee is a PTR system. That's why i'm very curious about your statement. I've made 24 euros on that site, and of course lost them (i got greedy) but i gained them by playing not by reading anything. So, please enlight me, Prizee is a PTR ? :/

I'm asking 'cause i HATE PTRs and in NO way i wish to find out that i was part of such a system. Embarassed

Prizee it's kind of a .. PTG/PTP ? (Paid-to-Gamble, Paid-to-Play) Smile
I don't know which category fits, but it does give you money for "free"... and in a better way than other programs.

@Daddy
Don't worry, it's definetly not a PTR because you don't receive spam and you don't have to read emails Smile Tip: Don't play games that charge you, you'll lose all your money. Try to redeem your prize when you reach the amount, you'll receive it (a friend of mine got the Star Wars Driods or something like that CD... and another one a portable Prizee Radio)...

Yeah, most people do that.
It's just that.. errare humanum est.. and you can't simply know what's the deal with the PTR programs until you ask somebody. Some people fill in their primary email address without knowing what's going to happen...
