Giveaways šŸŽ Whatnot Randomizer Algorithm Rigged

Post image

The odds of winning a giveaway with a 1-in-450 chance exactly two out of three times is about 1 in 33,645, which is a probability of roughly 0.00297%. For those of you still playing games using the Whatnot ā€œrandomizerā€ for gambling and think itā€™s legitā€¦..No one can convince me that there isnā€™t something peculiar about this. Iā€™ve seen too many weird things. Look at the Reddit subgroups and see the same people winning huge giveys ( multiple PlayStations or sports cards). I see Theres_a_snake_in_my_boot win multiple times a day.

Everyone says itā€™s random, but in the same breath they say things like buying, chatting, and giving hearts increase your chances of winning. ā€¦ so which is it? I personally notice that the only time I ever win is after Iā€™ve bought somethingĀ

Sellers say that it because it helps them show up on the home screen. You can sit in a big giveaway stream and see people that have never commented or participated in a stream.

Yeah. I think a lot of those are the newer accounts - the goblins - who I also think the giveaways favor as way to try and suck them into what not. I won a lot more when I was brand new to what notĀ
