Yes, I do
Last night I sent to GBBG support this message:
Hi GBBG Support,
I have an issue while advertising our new BitFeud site, not sure how
to respond to such statement:
"Why can't they just give you 1/2 the prize instead of making you pay
1/2 and then sending you double? Unless it's a scam, which I think it
is."
I know it is not a scam, but how I can help others to know that too,
how I can explain the logic behind making us pay 1/2 first
And this is their reply:
Because it is not a prize. It is a product. You are buying cash in a flash sale, not winning a prize. Let's say 1,000 people went to a flash sale online for a television. Now, only 100 can actually 'win' the opportunity to buy the television. Maybe the television is worth $1000 but they will let the winners buy it for only $200. Should they just cut the television into 5 pieces and send you 20% of it instead of you paying $200 and receiving the entire television? That would not make sense. The same is true here. We are having a flash sale for cash. You are buying a pile of cash at a discount, not winning a prize or a lottery. In addition, the difference between the amount you pay and the amount you receive is being covered by a sponsor. So, we must receive payment for the product, at the set price, before we can deliver the product. Remember, the key words here are FLASH SALE. We have never said drawing, or lottery, or prize.

How does this work?Basically, it is very simple. We will host several FLASH CASH sales per month. All you need to do is be present to win. If you click the “Get It!” button fast enough, you will be one of the many winners. Each winner gets to buy the CASH for half price. You have 48 hours to pay for your CASH. So, for example, if you click fast enough to be one of the winners for a $200 CASH sale, you must pay $100 within 48 hours and you will receive $200 back instantly!

Why can’t bitfeud just give you half the cash amount (“prize”) instead of making you pay half and then sending you double?Because it is not a “prize”. It is a product. You are buying cash in a flash sale, not winning a prize. Let’s say 1,000 people went to a flash sale online for a television. Now, only 100 can actually ‘win’ the opportunity to buy the television.

We are holding FLASH SALES for CASH. You are buying a pile of cash at a discount, not winning a prize or a lottery. In addition, the difference between the amount you pay and the amount you receive is being covered by sponsors, advertising sales, and other external revenue. So, we must receive payment for the PRODUCT, at the set PRICE, before we can deliver the PRODUCT. Remember, the key words here are FLASH SALE. This is NOT a drawing, or lottery, or prize.
