Tips and Tricks Most of you here are already familiar with these tips and tricks, but for the benefit of new players and for those who aren’t aware of them, here’s a few helpful tips and tricks I have learned along the way (in the past year, plus) from some of our senior GSN members/players that I thought I would pass on to you. Note: If anyone else has any neat little helpful tips and tricks that you would like to share with us, please feel free to jump on in here and add them to the list. ************************* This one is my favorite tip:To avoid having to sit through ad after ad when playing the games, after you have watched the first ad and played the first game, when the game is over do not click on “Play Again”. Instead, go down to the bottom of the page where all the GSN info is located and in the My GSN column, click on Win Oodles. This will take you to your My To-Doodles page. On this page, go to the top of the page and click on the back arrow. This will take you back to the next game, minus the ad. This little trick is especially helpful when playing Mahjongg Toy Chest and Zen Gems! With it, you only have to buy-in the one time and can play as many times as you like on just 10 oodles. Speaking of Mahjongg Toy Chest (which is one of my favorite games) here’s another nifty little tip for this game: After making two or three matches (most of the time, it’s after two) you can stop the TIME countdown by holding your cursor over the penguins that appear on the right side of the game. Doing this will improve your score, and in turn, mean more oodles for you at the end of the day. However, at any point, after matching two guitars, all remaining items will shuffle and time will resume. This one pertains to the Daily Bonus:
We’ve all seen the ad that pops up after receiving our Daily Bonus saying if we want more tokens that we can interact with the ad and get more NOW. But I think it was Mixter99 that pointed out the other day, that sometimes after getting our Daily Bonus and seeing what we will get tomorrow and then watching that ad, that sometimes another ad will pop up saying if we want more tokens added to our Daily Bonus TOMORROW then please watch this ad. Yesterday was the first time I had noticed the second ad, but thanks to Mixter99 I’m a 1000 tokens richer today! Adblock Plus: It's totally FREE and very, very easy to download! After joining the GSN game site, I became very frustrated with all the flickering and flashing ads and pop-ups that was constantly going on there! When I said something about this on the old GSN message boards someone there told me about Adblock Plus. I Goggled it and found the download for Firefox and added it right then and there. Like magic, ALL ads and pops ups instantly disappeared never to be heard from again! But be aware that there may be one drawback to downloading this feature. It’s not something that I have seen anyone definitively verify, however, it has been mentioned in Player News that an ad blocker may interfere with you being able to watch the ads for extra tokens and oodles. So please install it at your own discretion. My last tip for now is this:If you click on a thread here (or on other ProBoard forums) and encounter a message that says… Oops, there was an error! You do not have permission to access this thread…all this means is it’s a members only thread and that you have to be logged into the forum to view it. Hope these will be of help to some of you.

Thank you so much for posting this info!! I use Google Chrome and it lets me view around five additional ads for 1,000 TOKENS each, to be added to my next day's total. So try waiting a little bit before exiting the DAILY BONUS to see if you are offered additional earning opportunities. Hope this helps someone. Additionally, you can click on the GOLD COIN (found at the end of your page choice bar) at various times of the day to watch ads to earn even more tokens! I believe I read a post from GSNAngel where it said that the 15,000 Daily Token Limit had been lifted. So, get clicking!!

I just went back and started another video> number 24 You go, girl! Question: Are you guys saying that you get the second ad 'for extra tokens tomorrow' everyday? I only get it every once in a while. Oh, and in response to your question about browsers...I use Firefox for everything and have never had any problems at all playing any of the games. IE on the other hand is slow and lags and freezes for me. Isn't it strange how one browser works just fine for some, but not for others?

I don[t every day. yesterday i didn't even get an offer for more today let alone more for tomorrow. one day this week I also got offered so many videos i felt guilty and x'ed out. the next day i only got offered about 10. and again yesterday nada. yet, today i stopped at 24. so it's probably a demographics thing,, testing in different areas to see what people will do. as for browsers it may depend more on your operating system, i use windows vista perhaps you have windows 7. i think thats the preferred os at this time for gsn game play , vista is listed in the minimum.

A couple of new tips for ya!
These have to do with some of the features here in the forum... and even though a lot of you may already know about these, I (just this morning) discovered them, so I decided to pass them on in case there are others who aren't aware of them.
Deleting your own post: After making a post here in the forum (after it actually posts) look on the right side of your post where the words QUOTE - EDIT - and the 'LIKE' icon are located. There will you will also see a tiny cog and an arrow for a drop down box. Clicking on this arrow will give you a variety of post options. One of them being the ability to DELETE your own posts. So, if for any reason you make a post and then want to delete it this is how you can do it.
Back To The Top: This is a feature I really like and it can be used from any and all posts made by any and all members. In essence, no matter where you are on a page, if you want to go to the top of the page, just click on the drop down box in anyone's post and hit 'Back to the top' and, voila, you're quickly sent back to the top of the page.
Send message: Want to send a private message (PM) to someone here in the forum? Among other ways to do this, you can also do it via the drop down box on any members post. Using kittyx11 as an example: Go to one of her post (or anyone else) and click on the drop down box. Now hold your cursor over the word MEMBER and a side box will appears. There you will see SEND MESSAGE and GIVE GIFT. Just click on 'send message' and type away!

I am not sure this is where I am to post this and I hope someone will put it in the proper place! Had the usual problems with the treasure chest for oodles ads - SURPRISE! Anyhow, while I said I was never sending another screen shot, I did and am so very glad I did! Found out something very interesting I am sure not everyone is aware of! I am sure most of us will keep clicking on that treasure chest shows up! But, did you know you are only allowed to get a total of 400 oodles and after that, you get no more no matter how many times the treasure chest comes up! I am going to do a copy and paste of my response from player services about ads not working!
Videos for Tokens or Oodles (Treasure Chest, Monkey Bonus) Ad Issue: Wasn't credited Tokens/Oodles for completing an Ad / Video Name of Ad: spyder bikes and ad here with screenshot Subject: Treasure chest ads Details: sending you 1 screen shot but also wanted to let you know the spyder motorcycle ads with drew brees plays but when its done, you don't get your oodles
Their respone: (I didn’t know this! Sorry to hear of the difficulties you encountered. I've reviewed your Oodles history and can confirm that you received a total of 400 Oodles on [DATE] which is the maximum amount a player can earn per day: You may view this transaction for yourself by clicking the "My Oodles Balance" section available towards the bottom of GSN.com pages once signed into your account. To view your full Oodles transaction history click the "Review Full Transaction History" link located in the upper right-hand corner of the Oodles History window. Please let me know if you have any additional questions/concerns on this matter.
Then I replied: Wish I would have known about this limit! So, when that treasure chest keeps coming up I should not waste my time?

This one is more of an FYI than it is a tip, but nonetheless, I thought I would share it with you.
Shortly after registering a little over a year ago, out of curiosity, I asked Player Services how many players are on the GSN game site. They said anywhere between 65,000 to 100,000 players per day!

I just played the 50 spins and no matter what I did it wouldn't count them as 50! Went through looking at oodles balance, token balance for counted plays! ANd I played 50 spins of Classic 777! Well finally out of frustration I paid 1 game of this and then 5 games and it finally credited and when I checked my oodles balance, time wise, it showed that I just received it after the extra 6

Some surprising info: I understand you may only get a total of 400 oodles per day but, not one of the ads coming up in treasure chest will give you the oodles you have earned. Monroe muffler as well as that one for the magazine where you have to go through 5 different windows not working! Thanks in advance! I didnt send any screen shots as the one I had sent yesterday is the one for the mag and you know the ad for monroe mufflers Their reply: Please accept our apologies for any difficulties or inconvenience while watching these videos. Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing technical issues with the sponsored videos for tokens and Oodles where they are not awarding tokens and Oodles. This issue is currently being investigated by our advertising team as well as our 3rd party ad vendors and we hope to have this resolved in the near future. As a courtesy for the inconvenience, 25,000 tokens and 400 Oodles will be awarded to your account by the end of business Friday, 05/23/14. We appreciate your cooperation and your patience while this issue is investigated. Please let us know if you need additional assistance.

Glad to hear you at least got SOMETHING for your troubles, dyzzle! This problem with the oodles and tokens ads, as well as their investigation into it, has been on-going for quite sometimes now! But according to your reply from Players Services it appears they now also have the sponsors involved and are once again attempting to get it straightened out. Let's hope they do...and soon...so we can all start getting those 400 oodles a day you spoke of!

Some tips for oodle boards! Under card games, checkout 25 stud! Has a 300 winner list and the game is actually kind of fun! But no one ever plays! Currently there are only 200 on leaderboard at 7:30! And under the same category, fling shot also has a 300 winner list! Kind of stupid game but again, no one plays! Currently there are only 190 on leaderboard and the bottom 10 are pretty pathetic scores! To be honest I got a zero on the game and I am currently 190! Now, under arcade games, RV swap it is a 1000 leaderboard and as of this same time there are only 410 who have played! Free and easy oodles! Have fun! Pam

Your great participation on the boards is also appreciated. In looking them over, I don't think I have ever played any of these games. But after reading "Free and easy oodles" I just may have to give them a try. lol
