• New "wheel of fortune" demotivating

@New-Black-Goose-2017851375#293775 People use apps like #1 and #4:

    That might help you to actually land on a number, but I don't see how that would change whether Bunq then add those points to your total or not.

    And it's also interesting how negative results never fail to get applied. It feels rigged.

      @New-Black-Goose-2017851375#293775 The points are not added up if you do not spin fast enough.

        I've just had a negative score not being applied, so I retract the earlier statement.

        @Johannes-Jaehn Regarding the spin speed, I can try that. But it would still be a bug as if it thinks the spin was too slow, it shouldn't remote a spin from the amount left either. Either it's correct or it isn't.

          Somehow every day someone manages to hit 2500, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2 = 1.280.000 points for the 1st and 2nd price. That seems in best case extremely unlikely.

          I hope bunq is better at writing secure code when it comes to online banking, because they would not last long in the online gaming or online gambling business.

            Yes please get it back to one spin based on pure luck? The top two scores always being the max me and that it is very likely that someone figured out how to hack the app to get the perfect spin cycle, and it is demotivating to see that based on them cheating they now make 100/250 a day and we no longer stand a chance of anything more than a tree (if that).

            Even if its not hacked and someone is that lucky (which is nearly impossible as it always happens within a few minutes after the new day opens), the new wheel is more time consuming, and the additional spins means that people sensitive for addiction are more likely to become gambling addicts. All in all this has now place in a banking app.

              I have a great suggestion to solve all issues: just remove the Wheel of Fortune entirely from the bunq app! 😉

                Yeah this is broken. It seems some people get 1.280.000 points every day, which is statistically impossible. You'd need to hit the right spot (1 in 15 chance) 10 times in a row: 2500, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2, X2 = (1/15)10 = 1 in 576.650.390.625‬ chance... And yet people manage to hit that score, every day. Yeah right.

                So this new wheel of fortune is way too time consuming (one spin was nice), statistically broken, frustrating... Bunq needs to either revert it, or take it out completely.

                  Tested another month. Played.each day. Won nothing. So i wasted over 35 minutes this month and got nothing in response.

                  As I read here, many.think the game can be cheated with auto clickers, which makes it even more.useless.

                  Please.Bunq do something about it..

                    You can speed up the wheel of fortune by spinning and going back to the previous page. This way you can spin > go back > spin > go back etc. etc. to quickly burn through the spins.
                    I have not won anything but this way it costs way less time than spinning and waiting 15 secs per spin.

                      I'm actually happy with how demotivating this version is.

                      Before I'd open my app in some slightly addictive habit 1 or 2 times each day in order to spin since it only took some seconds. Now that it takes so much longer I quit the spinning completely, which made me realize how silly that behaviour has been before.

                        Not a single comment suggests that the new wheel was a good idea for bunq. Even worse, the new Wheel of Fortune evokes such a frustrating feeling that I am starting to dislike bunq as a whole, despite knowing that the account and service are generally great.

                          This new wheel is complete garbage! At least with the old one I would occasionally get a tree

                            Even my girlfriend said that the new wheel of fortune is bad. She doesn't like it and wonders how she can even 16.000 points to get a tree.

                            Please bunq Team, do more for your banking features and dont waste time on this useless stuff. The contact management could need some improvements!

                              Chack that out:🎰🤡🤡🤡
                              x2 - Removed form the wheel;
                              5k prize - added;
                              10 spins × 5k = 🤔🙄🤥

                                Ich bin auch kein Spieler, aber beim "alten" Glücksrad gabs ab und zu mal einen Baum oder 1,- EUR. Habe sogar mal höhere Zinsen gewonnen. Meine Freundin und ich haben uns dann die Bäume gegenseitig zugeschoben, hat Spaß gemacht. Das neue Glücksrad ist absoluter Müll. Anfangs gabs wenigstens noch ab und zu einen Baum für unter 10k. Jetzt werden Gewinne für 1 Jahr geblockt. Meinen nächsten Baum darf ich erst wieder Juni 2025 gewinnen. Scheinbar wurde wieder daran gebastelt. Heute gingen nur noch 3 Drehungen und die Highscores sprechen für sich:

                                  Now we have only 3 tries but the demotivation remains. You can already see that its not worth the spins when a tree is already at 6000+ points.

                                    The Wheel of Fortune is dead. They should implement a game based on skills, like one of the matty games: https://matty.games

                                      @New-Teal-Porcupine-393487905#297274 Or maybe focus on banking instead of games ;)

                                        Yeah, I'm quite glad it's dead to be honest. I hope they don't revive it. Waste of the devs time just to make a banking app more tacky. Let's hope for a less gamey and more bankey future!
