If you're losing on them a lot, your ranking will be degraded. If you're doing well and winning a lot, your ranks increase. You wouldn't be paired with someone with a higher rank than yourself to keep it fair for everyone. Also the extra two points go towards developing new games for the site, and probably other expenses the site has. As Matjong has said, the money is always put back into the site. Either way, if you do win then you're gaining more than you wagered on the tournament anyway. It's up to you if you want to risk losing points or not.

The system is set up where P2S always wins. Here is the explanation.

***Because Ednieves88 is complaining I state, "This is not based off facts, this is all inference"***

**Summary at bottom**

*Cents are abbreviated with ¢*

A Member A submits a survey and earns 10 points which equals 10¢
A Member B submits a survey and earns 10 points which equals 10¢
P2S gets paid 15¢ per survey(30¢) completion by the company that owns the survey
P2S knows that the money will be spent on its value in Amazon goods thus bringing the total earned by P2S to 10¢ (5¢ per survey)
But, if Member A plays Member B in a game and Member A wins, Member B loses 10 points and Member A gains 8 points
The two points that disappear bring the total earned by P2S up to 32¢
Multiply this "scam" by 150k+ players and P2S gains 300,000¢ ($3000.00) added onto the 4,500,000¢ ($45,000) earned from survey completions
This all equates to a P2S net profit of $48,000 (a lot of ¢)
The same occurs with Limbo except there are more losers

Also, the 2 points don't go to anybody because points are worthless. If you have 1 Million points on P2S, they are worthless until you buy something versus Cashle which actually equates to a cash value. That is why you can't bet cash on games or play Limbo with cash. It's similar to currency in a game (ex. Gold in Skyrim, Rupees in Zelda, Dora Bucks in Dora Adventure etc.). Or gift cards which are only worth the merchandise you buy with them.

Summary:
•If you think it is a "scam" or fair it is your choice.
•I don't play the game because of this
•If you happen to find out you are playing "a super cyborg person who's gets scores of OVER 9000 or something" play the racing game because lowest score wins
•If it turns out to be a scam, file a lawsuit and send me a check
•If P2S deletes this post I was right...

So is it a scam? You decide.

Poll: Is the game system a scam?

•Yes
•No
•Who cares?

Fist thing is game are to play for fun not to make earning from they where never made for that p2s mine way to earn are though survey offers task and referral not from the games second it your chose to play the game you don't have to play the game so don't tell anyone they shouldn't play the game it is up to them if they want to play or not. last if you keep lose at the game 99% the time it mean your not good at them and maybe you need to play the free game first so you learn them also your not going to win all the time so here some tips when playing the games

one find the game your good at one that you have the better chance of winning
two. keep in control don't play to many game at once play few game at time take break if you notes that your losing or no one else is playing

three if you do find out you are losing stop playing and go earn your points some other way like survey offers and task.

And last thing those points you pay for the game help out the site like the lotto wins merits contest and other stuff as your lucky this site has the game if didn't we wouldn't have any other chance to make points

Yeah, like I've already explained, those extra points go towards the development of future games on the site and other expenses the site needs to cover which is pretty understandable. I'm sure the admin would gladly explain it to you. Also if you're not keeping up-to-date with what's going on lately, there will be a new game released tomorrow (Monday). This new game is different from any game you've seen yet on the site and there will also be a leaderboard where the top players will earn actual cash. Those extra points from game entrance fees will come in handy to cover those winnings, ones members will be happy to work towards weekly.
