What's the funding situation at habbox currently?
Who holds the monopoly on funds for event prizes and such?
can we get more gold bars in the token shop
why have't hxee winners received their prizes?
Why hasn't @Storking received his prize for HxEE?
Why is management slacking?
why haven't I been given my prize from 2 years ago christmas HxHD event with the ice queen i won 10c that i've never seen ;l
also whose pocket is the prize fund coming out of? @Samanfa or habbox itself?
why is habbox so poor
The winners of HxEE haven't been given their prizes due to the account with your prize on being banned/hacked. I'm not sure if they have been alerted of the delay but I would have assumed Sam would have told the winners about that. We are sorting out the credits for that and then given them to the winners before putting anything in the token shop.
hope the funds for this weren't spent, it's over soon

How was it hacked?
What was the account?
Who had access to it?
Was it an inside job from previous staff member?
How much did you lose through the account
Could you answer my initial question too
How does habbox fund itself? surely not only from samanfa rigging marketplace prices and skimming a bit of surplus profit every now and then?
Who funds habbox as a whole and who funds each department respectively?
Does habbox buy coins
Well they've reimplemented a 2 month deadline to collect prizes so things must be tougher. The lottery helped a lot with funding and that option is no longer available. Despite that, Jin is still pretty loaded lol and Matt's made it clear multiple times that managers just need to ask.
On top of that, it's a two way street. If you win a prize, you shouldn't expect them to remember that they owe you something especially if your name is in a long list of people (comps winners for instance), you need to ask for it sometimes as well.
Was there ever a prize for champs league 12/13? I seem to remember coming in top 3 and then it fading into obscurity.Quote:

Well I was using that as an example rather than saying that they're not any good at giving prizes out. Just pointing out that people need to make the effort to go get their prize too. It's a shame really, I would've loved to have the option of those donation rooms where you can just drop it in!
not even forum awards? seems a little silly to have football btting system if it's not actually going to be used. @Phil; can we get something for themQuote:

Kyle, using any black market site to buy credits for Habbo is breaking their rules. This is a quote from an email directly from Sulake:Quote:

I'll have a look at the winners, what was done, offered etc. but probably not until tomorrow. I only came back from my holiday last night and I have a lot to catch up on but I'll see what I can doQuote:

Well sorry that I'm not willing to give my money to some random person on a forum I don't have a clue who they are to get some credits in return.Quote:

No idea where you got the idea it wasn't in the terms and conditions.Quote:
This means you may not buy or sell Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods for “real world” money or otherwise exchange items for value outside of the Service.
didnt say u should but a lot of your staff do and keep the furniture for themselves and give away loads for their events!Quote:

It's for fansites only so you may as well contact one of the staff in-game. Or you can guess the email and see if you get a reply.Quote:

I buy coins as does Gina. Most of the credit giveaways are being provided by myself and Gina obviously some DJs have furni/credits to give out in competitions too.Quote:

Some Habbox managers even used to work for black market sites.
