“Save your money overvalued items”

Not only are items WAY overvalued the clock doesn't stop on the tournament if there's a last second change in the leader. That's right! So it's s game of chicken of who wants to max out their credit card on coupons to win an item for "free"

This site is either a total scam or has been taken over by scammers. The same people keep ending up at top, and they always seem to beat you perfectly with less than 5 seconds remaining - thus encouraging you to buy more tickets to pass them.

It is NOT free on any level because you HAVE TO buy tickets to play. Everything, even the short tournaments, jumps up so high so quickly that there is no way to compete with it. Any free tickets you get you need to also play to receive. They're all for answering trivia questions, but you can't answer trivia questions after a certain level. You will ALWAYS get passed. It is 100% gambling with your money.

And I have won 3 items, and every time I've been competing against the same people. Not to mention the BULK of people on here only have their lightbulb emblem for an image. A small way they could make it look less suspicious would be to require users to upload images to participate - that way we would know they were real people. If all the people winning and beating you have the auto-picture as their image and has a clearly fake anagram name (it's such basic naming conventions that I've seen before in fake user creation), it's very suspicious that they're real people winning.

Plus, all this stuff is from very obscure sources, hard to tell if the pricing is accurate or real.

DO NOT JOIN UP. I made a huge mistake and wasted my money on 3 useless prizes that haven't even arrived yet. Plus, their emails go straight to spam - another sign that they are suspicious.

Hello, thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you have come to these conclusions. I'll respond to as many as I can here, but I'd love to speak with you by email too - my personal email is matthew@totaltrivia.com
1) It is free on one level. You do not have to purchase discount coupons. You can participate before the points threshold without using any discount coupons, and earn free ones during that time. Some shoppers still win tournaments without spending any money - I see these every day. But since not every tournament is free, Total Trivia isn't for everyone. It's for those shoppers who want to make their online shopping experience more fun, and if they get some great deals and even free items along the way, that makes it all the more fun.
2) There are no fake or bot accounts. I like your idea about requiring a photo, it makes sense and is something we'll consider further. But many shoppers don't want to share their identity which we also want to respect. The shoppers you see popping up frequently are genuine shoppers who genuinely love playing in lots of tournaments.
3) We work with unique brand partners to bring (often) hand crafted items, selected based on the feedback of our shoppers. Some brands are more recognisable than others, but everything is 100% authentic and comes direct from those brands to our warehouse in Chicago.

Easy to use app and fun idea that motivates you to learn as you play. I wish they would tell you how much your coupons multiply especially if you are a first time user. At first you'll think you can win easily because they only have you use up a few coupons at first. However, after a few more rounds the number required to play significantly doubles. Gets better once you figure it out. Also wanted to just thank Total Trivia for limiting daily wins so that everyone can win a prize.

You actually have a real chance of winning some high quality merchandise. This is a came and you are competing with others so you will have to use some strategy in hopes of winning. I have won two contests, I won some bed sheets in The first contest, and the item is super luxurious. The next contest I won I elected to trade in my prize for 100 discount coupons. But where Total Trivia really shines is the customer service. I had am issue with getting my prize, the app says it typically takes 2 weeks for tour prize to be shipped. I was waiting for almost 2 months. I contacted customer service and they responded within 2 hours! They resolved the issue, which turned out to be my fault because I entered the address wrong, and had my bed sheet shipped the next day. And that arrived before the weekend. The swift response, courteousness of the customer service, and the quality of my item gave me complete confidence that I am dealing with a legit company that cares strongly about its customers and wants to build a lasting relationship with them. I dont play often, but I check the app everyday for new games. 5 stars for being as advertised, and 1 more for going above and beyond in customer service.

Built up enough points to hit 2nd place then was told I had to buy my way into continuing to play. This is B. S. Thanks, but no thanks.

Hi Yvonne, while many users do win prizes for free, we are unable to give free items away to everyone all the time. Therefore it is necessary to purchase and use discount coupons to play above a certain level. Remember that every discount coupon you use counts towards a discount on the item even if you don't win, so you are always getting great deals.

The prizes are worthless. Have you researched the manufacturers? Adamant bicycles? JW Krogman silverware? The only thing you'll find are faked Amazon reviews. Why? Because this is a scam. Even if you pay $75 and "win" a "$1,500 bike," what you're getting is a $100 bike with garbage components. If 500 suckers fall for this, Total Trivia scammers get rich. It's an auction scam. Period.

At first you will think it is the greatest app ever... then you realize the Bot, Jonnyconnect is running the show. I was restricted, after i referred several members, and saved up my tickets, and they gave me a phony email address to contact their "compliance" dept, which is nonexistant, so then i went to the Minnesota Better Business Bureau for answrrs, and was able to locate a phone number to Total Trivia. A week later... multiple phone calls, and still no explanation as to why my account was restricted, and no return call from anyone, such as the "manager" they mention will call me, has called. I am filing my complaint with the BBB in Minnesota. They must be stopped. It is modern day thievery. I will also be filing for tefunds on all the money I have spent. BTW, they restricted all my friends that I referred also... how is that right or fair? I call it stealing. No response to why, and no resolution. Buyers beware.

You get to play their "free" game until you hit 20,000 points. Than you can buy tickets you can pay with a credit card or with paypal. So even if you have money on pay pal don't bother picking it. They want your credit card information just for you to use pay pal. Seems more of a scam to get your card information if you ask me.

Hi Keri, many players have won tournaments without having to pay for discount coupons. Even if you do, you are still able to get items at a huge discount and with free shipping. We offer the choice to pay by card or paypal. All payment information is stored using established data security and encryption methods and can be removed at any time. If you need any help with that, please get in touch at support@totaltrivia.com

Spent $25 to win and with 20 seconds to spare a user who is not even in the top 10 suddenly jumps past my score? Total bs! There are bots who jump in and win ALL the prizes at the last minute, honestly it's such crap. You CANNOT win anything without spending money and even then one of the bots will come in the last 20 seconds and steal your spot. I want my money back and will tell EVERYONE I know this app is a SCAM

Since you changed the game, whenever a question comes up all I get is a spinning wheel and I can never answer a question. Or if I answer a question it tells me I was too late and didn't answer the question.
How can I fix this?

Not good. They keep lowering the value of "discount coupons" by offering them for cheaper and cheaper, so if you bought them a while ago they are almost useless. Also they started offering some legitimate trivia contests so I bought discount coupons and now they are back to the same old "buy your way to win" model.

Total trivia used to be so much fun, and you'd actually have a chance trip win items for free. Now, there's no way. Please do your research before spending money on this. They constantly have "ticket sales", so just know whatever you buy today will be obsolete within a week. I would love if they're change it back to how it used to be.

I went to buy 20 tickets and it changed my order to 200 and charged me. I went to do it again later for twenty and instead it didnt even ask how many it just charged for 200 this website is a $#*!ing scam and a bot won the prize anyway, also the adding time thing is bs too, because eventually you have to keep buying tickets just to keep going

Hi Jadie, we definitley would not charge you for 200 tickets when you wanted 20 - sounds like it could be a technical issue. Please email me at support@totaltrivia.com so I can help straighten it out for you. I can also assure you that all players are real customers like yourself. Sorry weren't the winner that time.

A couple months ago I came across an ad for Total Trivia and it took me seeing it a few times for I downloaded it and I'm so glad I did. This is the best trivia game app that you actually win real prizes. I've been doing the app couple months and have already won several awesome prizes. You won't be sorry to check out this game and with such amazing customer service any questions you have are answered quickly with great love.

If you really want an item, you better have a lot of discount tickets, because it's going to cost you. The customer service could be better.
