Beware! Winza has stopped paying! Do not invest there!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a business week just passed, are staying as safe as possible, and are making the most from your weekend whatever is allowed in your local communities. We might be living through some strange times in the world, some quiet times in the HYIP industry, but looking at many of the most recent additions to the MNO monitor<\/a> we also have some interesting times. I’ve always been a big fan of unique and interesting programs that don’t follow any kind of generic model, sometimes they can make things more difficult from a blogger’s point of view but ultimately it makes for a more rewarding all-round experience. It just strikes me that despite this being such a slow season in the HYIP industry right now, almost every new program coming to the MNO monitor<\/a> seems to be so meticulously unique and planned out by professional admins, with next to nothing in common with anything else around right now. Well, of course at base level they all have one thing in common which is the concept of you spending money in hope of making a profit, but beyond that it’s not often you would see a group of highly innovative programs existing side-by-side while at the same time posing very little threat to each other in terms of direct competition or opposing interests. Maybe it’s the epitome of the triumph of quality over quantity, maybe it means I shouldn’t be over analysing a good thing so much, it just feels to me that at a low point in the HYIP industry it cal also be a good time for a smart and experienced investor to take advantage.<\/p>\n

It’s with that in mind that I bring your attention to the main subject of today’s blog article, a new addition to my monitor’s Standard List<\/a> called Winza<\/a>. It’s another in a pleasingly growing line of excellent unique stand-alone programs trying to break away from the usual HYIP dogma and cycles I suppose. Sometimes though I think there’s a problem with wanting to distance yourself from the HYIP industry while simultaneously trying to attract HYIP investors for money, but maybe that’s a whole other article. For now I just want to focus on Winza<\/a> and how I see it as a money making opportunity. Just to be 100% clear and transparent about my own monitoring interests here before we get started by the way, Winza<\/a> is only new to the MNO monitor<\/a>. The program has been online since last March, many investors are already in profit so congratulations to them, just be clear if it’s important that Winza<\/a> is not brand new.
\n\"Winza\"<\/a>
\nThere’s a lot about Winza<\/a> that sets it apart from other online HYIPs, and even though I know the admin doesn’t really wish to be associated with traditional HYIPs in the first place I’m afraid since this is the audience he has targetted by coming to MNO then that is also how Winza<\/a> is going to be viewed by most readers. Having said that, I also know a lot of readers do appreciate originality and unique ideas in HYI programs so in that sense I am in complete agreement with the admin \u2013 Winza<\/a> is in many ways a world away from what you would normally find in this industry. At its base level however the fundamental concept is the same, i.e. you gamble with money from your own pocket, trust a total and unaccountable stranger to handle it for you, hope you get more money back than you spend, and live with the consequences be they good or bad without any let’s say \u201ccashback\u201d.<\/p>\n

One of the ways Winza<\/a> differs from other programs in the HYIP industry is the income streams. It’s possible to earn money here without much spending on your own behalf. Not to the extent that you might actually get rich from it of course, but a nice gesture nonetheless. Keeping things in the simplest terms, you have two investment plans plus a series of casino style games which you have no obligation to play. But there’s really only one investment plan in the traditional HYIP sense which I think is what will interest readers the most. It’s called The Bankroll Plan<\/strong><\/em> and is quite unconventional in many ways. It makes variable daily interest payments<\/strong> but doesn’t have a fixed length investment term. Instead it’s what I would call a target-based plan, where Winza<\/a> continue to pay members for how ever long it takes them to earn a certain amount of money. In this case it’s 150%, or your own money back plus 50% net profit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s pretty much where the facts about Winza<\/a> end and the guesswork begins. We can’t really say from one day to the next what the earnings are going to be, though while the Winza<\/a> admin speculates that this could on occasion be as high as 5% he also concedes that this would be very rare. My own first interest payment from this plan for example was a far more modest 1%. But that’s fine by me, it makes the program more stable and reliable in the longer term and will help more people reach the ultimate goal of getting the 150% target back from their investment. Better to be patient and get a good return than be greedy and get nothing from unrealistic expectations. My next payment was closer to 2%, and according to some of the feedback I’ve been getting from some MNO readers who were already members of Winza<\/a> before it was listed here rates of around 1.5% or 1.6% is what they’ve come to expect on an average day. We are told that interest rates are based on a 50\/50 split of whatever company profits are made on any given day, an unpredictable number no matter what line of business you are in.<\/p>\n

All I can really add here is that Winza<\/a> have a very reasonable minimum requirement of just $10 to join via PerfectMoney or Payeer<\/strong>, making it affordable to everyone who is interested. If you prefer to avoid dollar based payment handlers and go down the more direct route of using your own cryptocurrency, minimum spending limits for Winza<\/a> are 0.001 BitCoin<\/strong>, 0.2 LiteCoin<\/strong>, or 5000 DogeCoin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The next investment option is called The Hodl Plan<\/strong><\/em>, an expression I believe referring to cryptocurrency investments where the intention is to keep the product you are buying rather than a quick buy\/sell action for fast profit. Anyway, in this case Winza<\/a> are also making variable daily interest payments, but this is where the similarities with the previous Bankroll Plan<\/em> end. You can still invest for just $10, but the first main difference you will notice that there is no expiry date and no fixed amount target. It’s just a regular open-ended perpetual style investment plan that continues to pay until such a time as you decide to leave Winza<\/a>. The other main difference which might be a little confusing at first is that the variable daily payments<\/strong> are typically a lot lower than what gets paid to members in the Bankroll Plan<\/em>. Generally these are below 1%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why do I say this might be confusing at first glance? Well, because a lot of people will probably stop looking once they see that Winza<\/a> are paying out less interest on this plan and perhaps might not think that there could be other advantages. The fundamental reason why anyone joins online HYIPs in the first place is to make the maximum profit possible after all. So taking the Hodl Plan<\/em> by itself at face value as an investment opportunity it might not be all that exciting. But if you keep looking you will find other features that you might like and think the reduced interest rate is a worthwhile trade-off. For one thing investors here have the option of compounding<\/strong>, i.e. deliberately not withdrawing the interest so that it gets added to the principal, thus building your core investment and leading to higher payments. While not strictly a fan of the process myself, I can see how small investors can use it as a tool to grow their principals to a level they might not have been able to otherwise afford.<\/p>\n

That then moves us onto some of the other financial features available to Winza<\/a> members, another advantage of the Hodl Plan<\/em> is that some are only open to you if you are using money from this account. Winza<\/a> have their own internal currency exchange system for example, allowing you to buy, sell, exchange funds from any of the payment handlers you can invest with. This can either be hard currency dollars through PerfectMoney and Payeer, or various cryptocurrency options already mentioned above such as BitCoin, LiteCoin, or DogeCoin. It’s a nice touch and certainly any extra service is always welcome, especially considering how few other programs offer it to their own members, however I also don’t see it as a particularly strong selling point in getting more investors into the Hodl Plan<\/em>. There are a lot more established online exchangers out there, specialist companies with iron clad reputations stretching back years. Anyway, those are your payment and exchange options.<\/p>\n

If you are requesting a withdrawal from Winza<\/a> you will be sent an automatic confirmation e-mail with a link you’ll have to click which in turn then recognises you are the authorised account holder. You will also need to enter the four digit PIN you will have been asked to set up yourself on creation of your Winza<\/a> account. Payments should then be fully completed within a stated 48 hour maximum<\/strong>, though in reality I’ve never been left waiting more than a few hours for my own.<\/p>\n

I mentioned above that the minimum investment in Winza<\/a> is $10, which is true. It is not however the minimum deposit you can make into your Winza<\/a> account. That much is only $1 which is important because this leads us to where Winza<\/a> and its admin go to some lengths to distance themselves from the regular online HYIP industry and really play up the claims about being \u201ca big network featuring a casino, investment opportunities, currency exchange, crypto mixer, faucet and advertisements\u201d.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the faucet. Remember at the start I said you could get involved with Winza<\/a> with very little outlay from your own money? Well, this is it. Free money. All you have to do is sign in to your account, look for the Free Faucet<\/strong><\/em> tab, and click. You can make a claim every hour and Winza<\/a> will pay you free money, no questions asked, to the currency of your choice. Sounds too good to be true, right, so what’s the catch? Not exactly a catch, it works exactly as it says it should, it’s just that the amounts of money given away are miniscule. In theory it’s possible to be paid up to $100, but by the admin’s own admission the odds against you getting that are absolutely astronomical. I did hear about one investor who managed to get something like $65 out of it, obviously that’s an extreme rarity, but who knows, you might get lucky and it costs you nothing to play anyway. More likely any payments you get will be just tiny fractions of a cent, so small you’ll probably need to be claiming around the clock just to make a full penny.<\/p>\n

Of course no one really expects an online HYIP admin to give anything away, Winza<\/a> won’t be an exception, but that’s OK because I don’t really think making an income from the faucet was really the point of the exercise. Certainly the figures I’ve seen are much too small to be withdrawn anyway. I think the idea is for you to build up a small pot of money in order to put it back into the various casino games you can find in your members area. I must admit I was a bit surprised here. Ordinarily I’d be sceptical about such things, as would most HYIP investors, given that the games only happen on a computer screen how easy they must be to rig. It’s only in my role as a monitor for Winza<\/a> that I decided that I really needed to try them out, just so I would understand in my own mind how the program works and to be better able to describe it to readers. What was so surprising? The fact that I actually won several times. Not every time, I lost a couple too, but I didn’t lose more than I won so it’s fair to say that at least for the moment Winza<\/a> are running a fair game.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how much interest readers have in these things but the admin is enthusiastic about promoting this angle of Winza<\/a> and I do agree it sets the program apart from anything else around the industry today. So I’ll just give a few short words on the five casino games on the Winza<\/a> website and you can decide for yourselves if this is enough motivation for you to get involved or if you prefer to just leave it at the more traditional style investment plans.<\/p>\n

First up on the list then is a classic lottery called Winza<\/a> Lottery<\/strong>. One jackpot, one winner, it’s held every Monday. As with most lotteries the prize fund is determined by the number of tickets sold, so the more tickets the bigger the win. The final pool has a guaranteed winner, there are only so many ticket holders anyway, and is a 90:10 split between the winner and the Winza<\/a> admin. So for example if the prize fund is $10 and you win, you get $9 while the admin keeps $1 presumably to help finance Winza<\/a>‘s continuing operations. That’s sort of how the other games pan out as well, with the prize fund being financed by unsuccessful bets, while winners keep most of the prize fund minus a small contribution back into Winza<\/a> to help pay the bills and keep the program online.<\/p>\n

So next is a virtual dice throwing game (called Dice Game<\/strong> in the Casino<\/em> section of the website). There’s a number you hope the dice will land on, your prize depends on how close you get to the right one.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the European Roulette<\/strong> wheel which I’m sure everyone who’s ever watched a James Bond movie will know and love! A spinning wheel with colour coded and numbered sections from 1 to 36 has a ball thrown into it while still in motion. You then bet on where the ball will be when the wheel stops. Some bets are riskier and have long odds, some are a bit less profitable but easier to guess. You can bet on a specific number but that needs a lot of luck, or you can pick a group of numbers, say 1 to 12, or any odd\/even number, or any number coloured red\/black. So some options are high risk, others are just a 50\/50 guess. It’s up to you what to take, if anything at all.<\/p>\n

Next is a Wheel of Fortune<\/strong> game, another spinning wheel with a ball launched while the wheel is still in motion. You get a chance on multiplying your money by 2, 3, 5, or 50. Obviously there are more 2x sections than 50x sections, but you still need to guess right. So if you bet on double and the ball lands on the less likely triple, you get nothing.<\/p>\n

And finally is a game called Last Man Standing<\/strong>. If you know the old children’s party game called Musical Chairs, it’s a sort of gambling based version of that. Basically there’s a hidden timer which you don’t get to see. People throw money into the pot. When the timer expires, the last person who made a contribution gets to walk away with the entire pot. But no one knows what’s on the timer, 5 minutes, an hour, a day, that’s the risk. Watch the pot and if someone else throws in money then the prize fund grows but you are out of the race unless you throw is some money yourself to be \u201clast\u201d in the queue.<\/p>\n

Despite whether you see any of this as a deal breaker in your decision to join Winza<\/a> or pass on it, at the very least it’s a bit of harmless fun that needn’t cost you a great deal of money to play. While at the other extreme, it could eventually prove to be a cost effective vehicle that enables the Winza<\/a> administration team to finance payments to investors for some time into the future. For a level of transparency you will also find a list of the bigger spending players in these games to go with a list of the biggest winners. At this point I should also mention that Winza<\/a> sell advertising space on their website to other admins who think that maybe they share the same target audience and would like to promote directly to them.<\/p>\n

If all that is clear then let’s have a look at some of the more technical details of the Winza<\/a> platform, such as design and security. The website is running off a script that’s been custom built from scratch to meet Winza<\/a>‘s own unique needs but still as you might expect from a professional admin quite easy to navigate and user friendly throughout. For an extra layer of protection Winza<\/a> SSL encryption by Sectigo for safer browsing and more secure transactions. As for their hosting provider Winza<\/a> is on a dedicated server with the support and protection of CloudFlare, one of the leading names in online business and very dependable. The admin also took the trouble of registering the Winza<\/a> domain name for five years. Not that expensive to do or anything but it\u2019s a nice extra touch that shows he doesn\u2019t want to deal with problems tomorrow that he can fix today. For any further questions for the admin you didn\u2019t think were explained here or any account related issues you need taken care of then you can get in touch by a couple of different channels. The first thing you should always check of course is the Winza<\/a> FAQ page. Most of the main issues you might encounter when dealing with the program are dealt with there. If you don\u2019t find anything helpful there then you then you can try filling out a support ticket and submitting it via the dedicated help desk page which allows you to keep track of any existing tickets and see how they progress. You can also find a Telegram news channel for Winza<\/a> if you happen to be a fan of social networking sites. It’s really active there by the way so you should definitely get involved, you can also find a lot of stats related to Winza<\/a> there too.<\/p>\n

I’ve already mentioned the alleged Winza<\/a> business activity which is a profit share casino based platform, but just like every other high risk online only investment opportunity there’s absolutely nothing you can do to verify any of this. And you know even if any of it was actually true there’s still nothing whatsoever to guarantee it has to be profitable. So remember to weigh up all the pros and cons before spending anything at all, and if you then decide to go for it then do so only with a sensible sum of money it wouldn\u2019t bother you to lose, and if joining Winza<\/a> at all then try and keep them as a smaller part of a wider more diverse portfolio.<\/p>\n

So, what does everyone else think? Is this exactly what you’ve been looking for or is the concept simply not a good fit for you just yet? If you have given any thought to Winza<\/a> and whether or not you would like to join it or not then I hope you won\u2019t mind sharing your thoughts with your fellow MNO readers by voting in the following opinion poll. As always it\u2019s completely anonymous and untraceable, and will only take literally a second of your time. The results are never exactly final as such, but will give an interesting picture of what investors do and don\u2019t like about HYIPs and also tell admins what standards you expect from a program before you hand over your money. The question is:<\/p>\n
