I have to agree that buying it is better if we are not actually gamblers, forcing ourselves to wager in order to get a share for the 2nd airdrop is not worth if we are not active gamblers.
Similarly to Bitcoin, as people don't have to mine Bitcoin by investing money into ASICs, mining farms and other related things for set up, maintenance, operation and so on. They can simply use money to purchase bitcoin and it's easier than participating in Bitcoin mining.
On the opposite site, real gamblers will prefer to wager by playing the games they like while they are also enjoying the game.
If gamblers are winning while wagering and they are earning good amount SHFL then it will be a double win but if they lose while wagering then the airdrop can be said as a lossback
It's more risky than purchasing bitcoin or SHFL token directly. Mining bitcoin or wagering to get SHFL token contains many uncertain things while with direct purchase, it's more simpler and less risk too.
For those who do not want to buy as well as do not want to wager, the affiliate program is the best way to earn SHFL because as long as we can get some active referrals then we will get free $SFHL.
It's very helpful information for everyone to get extra $SHFL token from the affiliate program while they can get the token in other ways at the same time like wagering or purchasing it.
