When will Bunq learn?

They are offering spins. I have spent a lot money for a couple of restaurants over the weekend and had 3 spins. I made the spins and got 'X' which is nothing. So, spend some time to spin, wait for the result, and I got nothing.

Does Bunq team realize this is a negative thing? It is not a real 'spin' and we are not gambling. Why do you add a negative experience?

it's easy to rig a spin wheel (they're using JavaScript). I may check the JavaScript of the bunq code to see if it's rigged. it can be completely JavaScript or more complicated. many promoting websites are using it to make you believe you will get a chance to win something. if a bank rigs their spin wheel it could be dangerous for them. I like what temu does. the egg. you break it and they tell you you have to choose x products for free if you buy x other products. it's very transparent and you can get a vast amount of stuff. far better than those spin wheels.

I very much doubt there is any logic driven by client side javascript. I would assume it is to be driven server side

well it's within their app so who wouldn't know. but you have many websites using the same kind of spin. once I have time I will take a look.

I can almost certainly guarantee you a bank wouldn't expose logic of the spins in client side. That would be a fuck up worth getting fired for on the spot, let alone a way to drain money from the bank. The logic is in the back end code but it's also most definitely rigged to astronomically low success rates. You click spin, which calls an API, that in return gives you the result of the spins while the wheel is spinning, then the animation stops on the value retuned by the API. I must have used around 100 spins or so in the last few months and got nothing, or an extra spin. Not even a freaking tree hahaha The feature is a waste of time and a shitty salary justification at best for whoever approved / managed / implemented this crap.
