Don’t Play With Entrecard

Entrecard is having a rapid growth recently. But I have stopped dropping cards since the shop was started there. Yesterday I decided to have some fun. I asked my friend if he want to sacrifice his Entrecard account for some fun. He joined me. We started stealing credits. Ok, not actually stealing; we were trying to earn more credits in less time by visiting only the drop URL.

We earned some credits and suddenly the credits stopped increasing. This made us cautioned and we stopped ‘dropping’. Then for sometime we couldn’t access Entrecard.com which made us think our accounts were terminated. Actually Entrecard was stopped for sometime for maintenance. When everything was back in action, I noticed my credits increased to 3580 from 1326. Before being delighted I noticed a minus sign before 3580. Yes, it was -3580 not 3580. This was not different for my friend. This was not what we expected.

I looked at the transaction list in the dashboard to see where my credits went. They gave us penalty for each drop. I lost a few hundreds as penalty which was enough to turn my credits negative. Then, I tried to send some negative credits to my friend. You can’t actually send negative credits from Entrecard. Then, I tried dropping a card normally. What! I was shocked to see my balance dropping by another hundred.

Anyway, look what I got for the 5000 credits:

  1. A minus sign (Yeah, it counts)
  2. Information: Entrecard is not terminating accounts for scripted drops
  3. Information: You can have negative credits, but you can’t send them
  4. Information: Entrecard is working fine
  5. Experience
  6. Fun!

This is the second attempt I am reading about. The first one was by a lady blogger. She got penalized too. I believe it is a good thing that the system has been able to detect such attempts so far.
Thumbs up for the Entrecard team.
Sorry about the credit you lost, I guess it was an expensive experiment you ran.
Nice post and a beautiful blog you have.
Cheers.
