Went ahead and did some math to calculate the average return from each $10, $25, & $100 card based on infinite purchases.

$100 card == 392 bytes per $1
$25 card == 226 bytes per $1
$10 card == 257.5 bytes per $1

In conclusion, don't buy 4 $25 cards - buy 10 $10 cards.

lmk if my math is wrong

Wouldn't buying 1 x $100 card be better than buying 10 x $10 card in that case?

Yes, but my point was to show that the $10 card is superior to the $25 card - I was not commenting on the $100 card.
I really like the astronaut graphic lol

Good luck everyone! 🤞

Still fun to play and I appreciate the BOGO offer.

That is horrible 💀

You win some and lose most on scratchcards usually.

Chance at the big one. Multiple members have bought the $100 card and gotten the 1m Bytes. BOGO sale increases your chances by giving you 2 cards for the price of one and as an added bonus there is an award.

Alos, I only sell Bytes in Bulk. Plenty of members want just 10k bytes.

I purchase the scratchcards because they are fun and there is an incentive of awards behind them. This sale was awesome, and although after selling the bytes to DemonAsylum I didn't get all my money back, but I got a full row of purple awards.

This BOGO sale was a success for me. Thanks a lot Omni.

1k bytes is like $1.5-2
$100 for a 1% chance of winning $1.5-2k. The odds are too bad for my liking.

That being said, the Purple Gift award is nice :P

At a $100 card you have about a 58% chance of breaking even. So with BOGO you actually have incredibly good odds to at least break even.

I shouldn't have to explain maffs to people. Odds are on the page. Use your brain.
That's a cool award and great little addition. Thanks for the opportunity!
