Thanks
It is not about locking, but holding.
You just must have tokens, lock or not. And then, depending on how long you hold them, you have different levels of benefits (go to Premium-> Premium membership benefit details)
The longer you have your tokens, the higher level you have.
Locking is something different, you earn tokens at the end of locking period.
It's weird how many people get confused by this. The text on the premium benefits page says "The Premium Membership program is designed in a way that the longer you hold FUN tokens, the greater your benefits will be. The initial benefits start after 1 day of holding the tokens in your FreeBitco.in account." and the savings page only refers to earning interest as a benefit.
I think it is not very surprising - people usually do not read user guides, documentation or even home loan contracts.
What I would only like to mention is that: on the page you always promote actions showing the maximum possible benefits - and I understand, it makes it more tempting. But user who have just bought 1000 tokens expects to have suddenly 10 daily WOFs, increased cashback etc.
I know what you mean but it isn't like it's been hidden in the middle of 50 pages of small print that nobody is ever going to read. Maybe I'm just in a small minority of people who at least read the basic description of what something is before I buy it.
