        Anthem only drops in Lottery this week… twice so far.
        H2 dropped at least a couple of times. 3 to be exact :-). AEST nighttime, mostly. 2225NJK or more to win.

        • NFS on 01/09/2019 - 18:28

          Thanks all!

          • NFS on 02/09/2019 - 03:07

            @NFS: Woo! Won Hitman 2,just waiting for the key to arrive now.
            :-D

              • NFS on 02/09/2019 - 03:14

                @[Deactivated]: Thank you! Was the last at 2150 so got lucky (it really jumped up quick in the list 10 seconds of the bids!)

                  @NFS: Had another look. You made at least 41 people angry :P. There was 44 bids accepted in total that round. Well done, indeed :-). See ya in another 5 weeks, i guess :P.

                  I bought 4-5 lottery tickets, on different occasions, came out empty (duh…). If I ever actually win, its drinks all around :-P.

                  • NFS on 02/09/2019 - 09:56

                    @[Deactivated]: HaHa, maybe I celebrated too early, still haven't got a key for Hitman yet.
                    I'll log a support ticket and see what happens.

                    I think the next week round I'll drop my remaining tickets on the lottery and call it a day, I've been collecting since day 1 (had 2950 points) but the thought of logging in every day for another month is perhaps a tad too much for me.
                    ^_^

                    Hey Soap, what was the script for above?

                      • NFS on 02/09/2019 - 13:04

                        @Radial7: Thanks Radial7, yeah, tried that and nothing. I've created a support ticket so hopefully I can still get it.

                          @NFS: Lots of people have made that complaint on Telegram. If you've not received your NJK back, that's something to go on. Good luck!

                          PS. You can ease the grind. Use your scheduler app to start your browser for you ;-). I set up a chrome profile just for that, so everytime it runs, I instantly log in to the collection page :]. Just saying ;-).

                          • NFS on 02/09/2019 - 15:55

                            @[Deactivated]: Thanks for the tip!
                            Support have got back to me saying "We have received some other reports regarding errors with Crazy Free weekend game delivery that is why we have checked the case and have noticed that there is some bug present in the last Crazy Free Weekend promotion, we are already working on it.

                            Please be patient for some time as our IT department is working on the issue and we will do our best to present you with the missing game or refund your ninja crowns if that won't be possible."

                            I'm hoping I get the game and not the points, lol.

                                Speaking of patient, today I got an amazing deal on a decent mobo+cpu. Been watching it for a week, and almost lost all hope. One step closer to starting an actual PC, and stop abusing my 10yo laptop :P. Lot of parts still missing, but I feel like that was more luck than I deserved :-]. Unless they're all fried, who knows :P. Sure gets me through another watchful weekend :P.

                                Congrats again to all you lucky farts :P.

    I had 1725 NJK.. unlocked for Tomb Raider and bid 1675 all in. Lost of course as it went for 1900 but my NJKs were not refunded.. :( after 2 hours my account is still showing zero. Checked inventory and it's still empty (definitely didn't win). Cleared history - logged in again - nothing. Not sure what to do …

    • cr4pm4n on 02/09/2019 - 01:05

      Oof that sucks :( maybe you could try contacting them on their telegram? The support chat thing they have was useless when i tried it once.

      • [Deactivated] on 05/09/2019 - 17:47
        +1

        Lotter rewarding system. You spend a 50-75 njk to participate, 3 winners picked at random. Nobody can outbid you, but they sure can outnumber you :-). Historically it was about 200-300 (sometimes more) people per lottery, putting you at about 1% chance to win. Or if you will… just a much more laid back version of bidding :-).

        • Stoibs on 05/09/2019 - 18:08

          Oh the lottery, heh fair enough. Yeah I bought into one or two of them with no sucess. Was just confused about the Tombola word :P

        • NFS on 05/09/2019 - 21:32

      So they refunded my account just in time for this weekend… :) And I went all in and scored Metal Gear Solid V which they haven't included in this list… :P finally content with a nil account….

        • bigbadboogieman on 07/09/2019 - 00:18

    Just activated my Dawn of War 3 code from back when they were still doing the old style of claiming games.

    For some reason I got the Dawn of War 1 collection instead? Pretty annoyed tbh, I already had all but one of the games in that collection… Would've given it away if I knew.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/09/2019 - 19:58

      Yeah, I posted that back in June :-). Kinguin got the description wrong. I was quite happy with what I got, and confused it wasn't what I expected :-), so I never bothered to argue.

      ps. Pretty sure they fixed that description in the recent episodes. Whatever they advertised before I think DoW 3 was never on the table.

      • cr4pm4n on 07/09/2019 - 20:20

        Ah I thought I read about that somewhere, but I wasn't sure. Shoulda double checked before claiming it.

    Here's the upcoming list: https://kinguin.ly/free-mortal-kombat-11-nba-2k20-mega-disco…. Mostly old stuff, very curious about DmC if its what I think it is. And Aragami is back too.

    Starting to doubt if there's people still interested in Kinguin here :P. I'll be up to my ususal.
    Not giving up, especially now that I got my rig workin :]. Its a work in progress, but sure beats the hell out of antique laptops :P.

      I was more interested in the early days even if it was a click-spam fest. Was better when they actually had 8 games per hour also instead of the lottery.

      I do appreciate them releasing the list though; Once again this week I either already own or have no interest in any of the offerings there. I can rest easy and ignore it entirely even though I'd like to spend my points of something someday.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2019 - 07:18

        Pretty sure I know what you mean. Let's be honest. This was never really a givaway :-). I don't blaim Kinguin for putting up less keys (shame ofc now they built this expectation). There's obviously a budget and 1500 keys is a lot.

        Lists are getting stale, that's my biggest beef. Used to be a lot more variety each week. I still have plenty to pick from, but I like surprises too ;-).

        I'm still baffled how they got people excited for HoMM3 :-). Sure, it's one of my fav games ever… well, was… well, two decades ago :-]. I guess, at this rate, I don't really expect the lists to change much, if people buy into that. Really wish they didn't :P. Kinguin need to bring back Timberman :P.

        Fingers crossed you get a shot at something good real soon :-).

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/09/2019 - 18:24

      I am going after the Tomb Raider and Lego Star Wars… Either of them can come my way… ;) Tomb Raider was the one where I had lost my NJKs 2 weeks back.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/09/2019 - 21:52

        Guess I should check out the LEGO series too at some point. Not sure why I'm prejudiced against it.

        Not sure what to make of the short lottery list this week. Pulling off soulcalibur (chances are ridiculous I know) would be so epic, I don't think I can resist :-].

      I'm seeing a bit more bids placed than usual. They changed advertising or what? Could be just coincidence. It's not the tombola tickets, lottery is getting less popular it seems :-). On that subject, lotteries are up pretty much every hour, and still going now, which never happened before - could be just the Kinguin vounchers tho. Hopefully you guys get to see more of it ;-).

      Time I hit the hay. Started playing Alien: isolation. Can't get enough of it :-).

    So Kinguin had decided to go Discord: https://discord.gg/dMBMbp. Havn't read much of it. Looks like its dedicated to CFW, suggestions and game requests. Frankly, I couldn't care less :P. My HD 6950 GPU arrived today and its amazing ;-). Granted it's a scrapyard build, but I can't complain other than the noise ;-))). Time to put all the games from Ep 1-4 to some good use :-).

    PS. Anyone got the impression they're veering towards discounts more and more? Especially last weekend. It's kinda offputting.

    • bigbadboogieman on 18/09/2019 - 22:40

      No matter what I tried couldn't win anything last weekend. Competition has become insane. Got outbid a few times even when my bid was over and above the average for the Lego Game. Once my phone froze after unlocking the bid and couldn't place it in time…. almost felt like I had lost a Flappy Bird game… 😜

      • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2019 - 00:53

        Me neither, didn't even get to spend much in Tombola. When I saw DmC bids go past 1000 I just let it go :-). It could be just coincidence, it feels like people tend to bid higher with fewer bids unlocked. And the last minute is always crazy. It got brutal ever since they started showing the winning range, not just the top bid. Lego is a regular, you'll get another chance for sure :-).

        Haha, mobile networks really have good connection speeds, but I suck at bidding with my phone :P. Whenever I need to pass a captcha I feel like jumping out the window :P. I use the phone to keep track, but always go to the PC if I'm serious about bidding.

        PS. That discord thing has been up for a couple of months now. Some nice ideas in there. Loads of reading tho.

        Might try for Chrono Trigger or something.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2019 - 07:09

        I'm kinda hoping I can put together all Resident Evils (not counting the last one) someday :-), so I'd go with that. Still chasing rainbows here, people have way too much NJK, unless I can pull a hail mary. Will try go after Monster Hunter in the lottery. At least that has some predictable drop times :P.

          I haven't been active on this thread for a while, but just thought I'd say thanks to @soapbubbleround for keeping up with the weekly posts/ spreadsheets.. it comes in handy if people are trying to review past winning bids for games that they're interested in getting now.

          P.S. The recent changes to show the winning range is just their way to increase the amount of NJK that people are spending… they're probably trying to slowly phase out CFW.
          Can you imagine if this was a completely blind auction? You bid a price that you deem worthy for a game, without having to worry about last second sniping. Much fairer and plenty of bargains would be scored.. but that's just wishful thinking.

          • [Deactivated] on 20/09/2019 - 06:22

            @BackInTime: I appreciate that. I really do :-). I'm usually worried it's taking all the fun out of it :P. First few weekends were a bit of a trip, but we're in a good place now so that's not going away, unless Kinguin start messing with their html.

            Well, I'm pretty sure I'd have bet more often :-). I imagine a lot more people participating, maybe a bit more frustrated after losing by a narrow margin :-). I do miss the opportunity to grab a bargain now and then. I have this weird idea of no refunds, so whatever you bid goes to the bank, win or lose. That'd put the fear of god in everyone. It doesn't really solve sniping, does it? :-).

            I still like the Tombola thing, the mechanics are weak, but the general idea is alright (can't snipe this). I mean, I know my chances are really really sad, but at least I get to play the cards every week, very relaxing when you don't worry about the countdown. It'd be so epic to actually win it.

    Just been saving up on both my accs so I can go all in if they have something i'm interested in. Still here tho :D

    EDIT: I'm noticing Prey and AC: Brotherhood have been showing up heaps more than most other games this weekend. Just me or what?

    • [Deactivated] on 23/09/2019 - 09:40

      I think AC is there almost every weekend, Prey pretty much the same. Too lazy to check :P. They aren't always as frequent tho.

      This weekend was pretty stable. I took a whack comparing the last several weeks. Max bid was the highest ever, well over 3,5k and average bid still keeps rising slowly, like 100-200 each week. Funny enough, a lot less traffic, almost 1500 less unlocked bids. Doesn't sound like a lot, but the whole weekend totalled at 3500 bids, and last week was just shy of 5000. That's not counting the lottery.

      Speaking of which, still no lucky ticket :-). I decided to give Gamehag a try. It might just work, but collecting the points needed for a decent game is a huge timesuck. Anyone has experience, or know if they are good for keys?

    Theyre (edit: yus, its pretty late :P) back at the 15% discounts again. If I remember right, odds of getting one were pretty good. It is what it is :P.

      👍..

      I basically went all in with a huge load of NJKs on Tomb Raider 20th Anniversary Edition. Basically finishing off all NJKs and won't accumulate more as I finish off my account(s).. 🙂

        Congrats, I hope you got (away with) it :-). I was busy with other stuff, and wasn't really paying attention :-). (I'll have some news on gamehag shortly)
        Pretty sure I'll continue collecting but less active during weekends. Best of luck!

  • [Deactivated] on 01/10/2019 - 00:49

    Gave Gamehag an honest try. This is gonna be a bit of a rant, probably worth it in the end :P. Sadly, I found the reward system is another kind of open market, so reward prices are changing. I was happy to work towards a clear objective at first, but it's no fun when I can't keep up with it anymore :-)). Explained below. As expected, most games are highly addictive, so be careful what you try :-))). I actually got a lot of playing time, so that almost makes up for it. Tried a few oddballs too. I estimate they have about 400-450 PC titles to choose from. Pretty much everything you've seen in the CFW and more. It might be a decent way of getting one game, but I'd advise you to wait till I know more :-).

    To put prices into perspective: I went for No Man's Sky, sitting at around 12k gems last week (I could be off by ~1k, I wasn't paying much attention). Right now it's well over 20k gems. I collected 11k gems in 1 week, but used up all the fast rewards, and now can't even make 1k in a day.

    So I picked my reward Saturday, and threw in the towel. Second day waiting for my CD key now, I feel like it might go either way :-).
    The FAQ is clear they are allowed up to 30 days to deliver the CD key but normally under 72hours. Compared to Kinguin that's some stone age bullshit.

    I want to be clear, I'm not recommending anything, just giving my observations. It's an interesting reward system, but quite time consuming, and a bit cheeky about their rewards.

    • [Deactivated] on 02/10/2019 - 01:35

      The jury is in, Gamehag works :-). I just got my Darksiders III key and it activated on Steam!

      I don't think I can get much more out of them, but if you're looking for a particular game, and have some time to spare, you should probably look into it. It's more like a one off, where you get to pick your reward, and decide how much time you want to invest. It's a bit convoluted, so I'll need to post a "guide". No, seriously, it is. Whatever you do, stay away from their mobile games, or if you want to spend days on end stuck to your phone, that's great! :-).

      • [Deactivated] on 02/10/2019 - 04:25

        PS. My key was said to be global. It was in the description. I can see some that aren't, keep that in mind ;-).

    • [Deactivated] on 02/10/2019 - 04:37

      There's no way to keep this short, bear with me. Also, I don't profit from this, just bored and excited, how quaint :P. Here's what I did:

      • played Neverwinter, get your char to level 20 to complete all 3 tasks, takes a couple of hours really. Easiest for me, used to play this one a lot.
      • played War Thunder, win 15 battles to complete all 3 tasks (don't spend any golden eagles, you need them for task 3)
      • played World of Warships (guilty as charged), play a battle with tier II ship, buy a tier IV ship, last task is a lot harder - account level 15 takes 150+ battles, still a long way to go,
      • only managed to validate 1 mobile contract, ~1k gems worth, so I can't recommend this,
      • used Appzone on my Android (gamehag app), get 3 gems per viewed commercial, maximum 300 gems per day. Nice boost, quite tedious, and hard on the battery.

      BUT: With just the first 3 you should get 4-6k (more if they promo any given title) soul gems, enough for a decent game.

      I don't recommend Star Trek Online. Played it, but my task kept getting rejected. Played SoulCalibur too, cheeky as hell, but takes more than a week to get the first task done. Don't :-). I still haven't collected on it. Crossout looks good, haven't tried it yet. Mobile games are usually very grindy, and take over a week to level whatever they require. Nice thing tho, the mobile games validate automatically if you have Gamehag app installed, so there's no trick to this, except the task can disappear before you get to the required level. Happened to me once…

      Now here's the difficult bit :-). VERY IMPORTANT - KEEP READING

      1. Apparently, they don't like VPN and LAN networks, so you can still get banned for IP abuse. Very important to register new accounts for every game you play. By the looks of it, you should always register via the gamehag website redirect. Just click the "Play For Free" button. Worked for me (except STO).

      2. To verify tasks for PC games, just upload a screenshot on the gamehag website showing your level/profile or achievement.
        There's a few "requirements" for the printscreen:
        i. full screenshot of the game window
        ii. include taskbar
        iii. include your gamehag profile (logged into browser)

      Basically, just put your game window and gamehag browser side-by-side, so they can match the username. Also, you can write some text in chat as extra proof. I never did. Here's a sample:

      "Hello, Misty! I am (Your GameHag Username) from GameHag, and as you can see I have completed (Game Task). I sincerely hope that my task will be accepted!"

      Finally, almost there, there's a referal system you can use for 200 gems, but I'm not really into that, so :-).

      I'm done. Good luck!

    • [Deactivated] on 09/10/2019 - 05:30

      Had some more success with Gamehag, and hopefully found a neat fix to my problems.
      Support seems to ignore email, but was able to fix my Crossout task once I tried this:

      1. open https://gamehag.com/chat/t/new
      2. click I have a problem with the platform
      3. click technical problem
      4. click other

      I don't mean to brag, but seriously suggest you guys give this a try… I'm up to 4k gems now, enough for Darksiders II (global), Prey (global), or Fallout IV (EU only). If I started fresh, Soulcalibur VI or Nier: Automata would be well within reach :-). If you count STO and Crossout, the PC tasks alone should get you to 10k gems easy. Expecting more is pushing your luck ;-).

      2+ weeks later another mobile contract clicked for 800 gems… pretty useless.

      PS. Sorry for the spam :P.

    Did they finally make the crown button a global cooldown?

    I barely remember to click anymore and am typically half a day late all the time, just clicked it now and the timer popped up as 12hrs~ until the next reset.
    10am AEST I guess?

      I am happy to announce that the timer will now reset at 0:00 UTC for everyone.

    In other news… new list, new rules - https://kinguin.ly/free-this-week-the-finest-games/

    They're planning to drop waves every 2hrs now. And also, no more Tombola exclusives. The bad news: less keys, I think.
    Somebody should change their name to Reasonably Free Weekends :P. Not that I mind, it just feels a bit overrated now :-).

  • Stoibs on 03/10/2019 - 08:20

    Seems like the rules and games just keep getting worse every week =(

    Prey 2006 is an interesting inclusion though considering you basically can't get it anymore.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2019 - 08:34

      If it wasnt for the less keys Id be ok not having to check the site every hour (means less add time for them too, so this is a weird direction). Id still like me some Soulcalibur or Monster Hunter. What their doing is damn cool, just getting a little sick of getting asked for requests, and seeing the same sleugh over and over. Ive seens some of the stuff people request on discord. This is not it :-))). Whatever they decide is ok with me, its the PR side of things I cant swallow :-P. Tombola is growing. Couldnt be happier :-)).

    • [Deactivated] on 03/10/2019 - 19:01

      Is 2006 any better, or can you just run it on any hardware? Never paid attention, Prey keeps coming back a lot.

  • cr4pm4n on 03/10/2019 - 09:17

    GTA V is back, hoping I can go all in on it and get it. Only problem is I don't have over 3000 NJK to spare :P

    Also, I just noticed:

    We’ve made sure to secure only high quality games, so expect FIFA 20

    high quality games

    FIFA 20

      I was going to recommend Gamehag for GTA V, but its almost 9k gems. I'll let you know if it goes any lower ;-).

      How is Fifa a high quality game? Its Fifa :P.

      Fifa stocks just shot up to 4000-4700njk. That oughta put a sock in my mouth… :P

        :o

        I have no words…

  • KH41 on 04/10/2019 - 12:57

    Would be awesome to score Monster Hunter: World.

    Hope i have enough NJK to secure it…

    Had to adjust for the new drop rate. If you see anything weird, its likely a bug that needs fixing. No, the Fifa bids, are not a bug :P.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2019 - 11:18

    Ok, this is actually looking like bad news.
    - waves drop every 2 hours, but still just 1 hour to bid (I dont think its a bug, no official comment yet)
    - downtime between 4AM CET and 9AM CET. yes, no new bids for the next 6 hours

    Number of keys is shrinking by the minute, I expect peoples NJK banks will only grow more. Still no luck in Tombola. Oh well, it was good while it lasted :-).

      Just won Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle Steam CD Key in Tombola LOL. At least I know you now have a chance.

      • Stoibs on 05/10/2019 - 13:06

        Gratz!

        • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2019 - 21:09

          Hey, big congrats! I tried for that one too :-). Glad someone got lucky :-).

  • BackInTime on 05/10/2019 - 20:34

    Monster hunter just went for 4700 - 4800 krowns. Which means that these winners have been collecting krowns for over 3 months (i.e. 94-96 days) and waited until now to go all in.
    That's pretty patient considering that krown currency was only introduced around 3.5 months ago.

    Can't compete with the super high bids and fewer drops this weekend.. but congrats and well deserved if any of the huge winners are from this forum :)

    • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2019 - 21:26

      I think, it will get more competitive with the collection cooldown change, but makes it more fair to actual people. Hard to imagine any real person not missing a beat in 3,5 months. I know I have, more than once.

      I'm only back to 1600, by the time I reach 5k, bids will be at 7 :-). I'm still a little sad they introduced that 6hr gap. It was consistently less crowded.

  • cr4pm4n on 07/10/2019 - 02:30

    Geez, even Skyrim is super high now (3200-3350), and i remember being able to afford that last time it was on.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/10/2019 - 07:18

      Yup, everything skyrocketed hard. I'm seeing very high numbers for all the stats I was tracking. Considering that it was only 2000 unlocks, and 350 keys, it was the most "expensive" one yet. I'd like to believe everyone decided its time to start spending, but somehow they always manage to come back with more :-))). Sure enough, out of 2000, only 350 got satisfied. Thats what, over 1700 people left with huge wallets? If thats the case, the next 5 weeks are dominated by the same people… Damn depressing :P.

      One clariciation: the 6hr downtime didn't affect the key count. It still sucks, and is unfair to AEST, but they only cut the keys in half. Sure, drop times pissed me off, since they had to squeeze a few in to make up for it :P.

      • cr4pm4n on 08/10/2019 - 11:03

        I wonder how many of the people participating have multiple accounts? I'm not gonna lie, I got one extra, but I got it several weeks in and I don't always claim my points everyday on either account.

        Honestly, I wish they went back to 8 offers per hour, and if they made it top 5 (or more) bids instead.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/10/2019 - 21:00

    I think we've all been there, pretty sure that's why I got banned too ;-). At one time Telegram and discord were full of locked account reports. I don't see a lot of that anymore. I might bid for one more big game, and stick to Tombolas. Yes, I keep a special account around just for that ;-). With half the keys, we get half the unlocks. I think that says a lot.

    Apparently, you can get extra NJK via Kinguin purhcase now. 3NJK for every 1euro spent. Its linked under the main page banner, so people will start noticing. Not a big deal, might even stop NJK from depreciating at some point :P. who knows.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/10/2019 - 20:52

      So they decided to stretch the bid window? Finally :P.
      Did you still get it? I saw bids go up to 4k…

      • cr4pm4n on 12/10/2019 - 21:14

        Nope. I only got around 3k atm :(

        Really missing the 8 games/hour system and even the crazy 'first few people to click' system…

        • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2019 - 12:05

          Suppose you could still give it another shot. That last Fallout drop was mostly under 3k. Then again, Sunday always was big spenders day :-). Good luck!

          Can't say I miss the sleepless nights, and round the clock alarms :P. If not for the bots, I'd have to say the first iteration of the NJK (fixed bids) was the most interesting for me.

          I can only imagine Kinguins "business plan" was built on that original first come first serve idea. With the hits they were getting they could well afford 1500 keys, with another 1500 Timbermans on top :P.

          • cr4pm4n on 13/10/2019 - 14:08

            @[Deactivated]: Yeah I saw the Fallout drop that was mostly under 3k, I missed out on it though. Only problem right now is this current auction is another 6 hour one, I think.

            I feel like the 2 hour or more auctions may very partly be a cause of the problem of the ever increasing bid amounts. I think it's because more people are able to make it to the auctions in time.

            Then again, I could just be salty and trying to put the blame on something on Kinguins side :P

          • cr4pm4n on 13/10/2019 - 19:05

            @[Deactivated]: Ayy, I went all in and just got it! I reckon it was the good luck from you that did it!

            From now i'll probably just stick to Tambola until they make any notable changes to the system.

            • [Deactivated] on 13/10/2019 - 19:11

              @cr4pm4n: Well played! I just woke up to see the last few bids placed in that round. Seems like the last 30-60 seconds did not change the outcome much. Yeah, bids still jumped but far less than Im used to seeing. Could well be just morning coincidence.

              Thats still your victory. Congrats! :-)

  • cr4pm4n on 12/10/2019 - 18:20

    They've only got 3 games now (Not including Tambola)?
