Ok, I got bored of this stuff, waited to get to 1250, nothing happened (well, a code today to get me to 1251), so I got 10 Credit Of Choice and received:
For me:
Recon Control (wishlisted)
Isle of Jura
Both codes worked. For giveaways soon (all I have in library or ignored):
Caravan
Earth 2140
Valhalla Hills
Everreach Project Eden
Deponia
Garbage
Shooting Stars
Munin
Not going to say "definitely adios" but sure I'm going to take a long vacation from LB until I forget about it or something interesting happens, like winning the lottery.

[Edited/added to post a bunch as I thought of things/questions, trying to avoid spamming with separate comments]
So, what packs do you suggest that still have chance of value? I've only bought supreme steam since event packs stopped. I hit 2,200 diamonds and sitting on 12 loot tickets.
Even as a fortnite player, those packs never seemed worth it. Would a vbucks prize even work still?
Only other packs that'd interest are maybe the credit of choice, playstation credit, google play, maybe minecraft..
Questions, the pack types only affects the "rare/specific card" but roughly same chances of getting a "rare" in any pack right? Also, pack type doesn't affect the pack at all otherwise right? Same basic games and other cards (card/loot pools) no matter what you open right?
Also, for example, the packs for specific games, don't actually have the game itself in lootpool right? Like The Hunt, which I don't own.
Pack options are basically the same for tickets or diamonds right? Without event packs for tickets only, there's no difference?
Oh, does anyone know if there's a February pack? The packs that cost 1 ticket and give 2.

Got a duped key for The Deed Dynasty, just my luck that when I get a game that I don't own yet the key is already used.
I contacted support but I'm not hoping for much considering that they haven't answered to any of my tickets ever since the bankruptcy happened.

So did I. Fortunately I decided to try to activate for myself instead of making a giveaway for it, otherwise I would have to deal with admin.

I've opened a 25 pack, bought with diamonds, only garbage cards .. got Caravan 3-4 times, Cultures 8th wonder - 5 times, leaves 2-3 times, ...I've kept 4 cards from 25 .. the rest of them I've exchanged them for diamonds .. and from 2500 diamonds spent, I've ended up with 4 games and ~700 diamonds back
Comment has been collapsed.
You can only do it while using the mobile app, and then only at the game card reveal page, there's an option down the bottom. Most of the time it's about 20-30 diamonds but a couple of times I've got about 50. You have a few minutes to decide, so basically enough time to check out whether you want the game or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
It will present itself when you reveal the game card during the opening of a pack, there'll be options to either move onto next pack, go to inventory or trade for diamonds. IIRC there is a time limit to decide and I've never actually tested it when examining the card from inventory (if I need to decide if I want the game or not I usually just use my mobile browser to look up it's Steam page, unless your phone is really tight with memory the app will stay there waiting for you for a few minutes. )
I've only ever bought diamond packs so I can't attest to money-bought packs personally but I imagine the principle is the same, can't imagine why it wouldn't be but take that as you will.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I've used the mobile application on phone and steam client on PC to check my games, so I could decide if I reject the card or not.
Most of the times I got 20-30 diamonds back for a card, like Mhol1071 said..
At this moment it seems they don't have any good keys left, there were times when I had 25 good cards, no duplicates, cheap games, but at least I didn't had them in my steam library.

Does anyone have any idea what makes their verification process of my diamond quest take so long? It has been 3 weeks already and it is still 'Current status: Verification in progress'
I am 100% sure I did the quest properly.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd tell you to send a support ticket, but you'd probably get no response. As things are, diamond quests might turn to be just a waste of time if anything gets stuck in the way. I've been years without doing any, I don't know how other people are doing currently with regards to those.

Approximately how much time should I dedicate to the Lootboy page to get game keys? I created the account today, but honestly, I don't do surveys, I earn coins only with comics. Would you recommend devoting time to logging in every day, or would it not be worth it?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, not really. Many "game" keys are duplicate and the support will only give you loot packs as compensation which most of the time contain worse items than a game. Coins are a waste of time and you should only stick with the daily login to get some diamonds.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's a waste of time to start with Lootboy now unless maybe you are in Germany or Austria. The promo offers which were the best value on Lootboy are restricted to 2 or 3 countries now.
Coins also have zero value. They can only be exchanged for lootpacks which might drop a few diamonds, but too little to make it worth bothering with it.
You need 125 diamonds to buy a pack that drops a game. You are most likely to get an overbundled cheap game worth a few cents.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would concur with the other respondents, right now investing too much effort into LootBoy just doesn't work out, even if you are from Germany/Austria imo. With the site in limbo now coming close to 6 months, seemingly one step away from total collapse but still limping on, it's become extremely difficult to get a significant amount of diamonds from anything other than the offer walls....which in turn makes participating in those offers more dicey because you don't know if the site will survive (or even payout) once you complete them.
That leaves just the daily login rewards & daily quest if you just use the website. If you're prepared to use the app you can get a small amount of diamonds each day by watching ads for the diamond video lootpacks. If you want more you can watch 6 ads to get coins which then opens the option to watch more ads to get diamonds (I never thought it was worth it to be honest and don't do it myself). Without regular codes or competitions you can see there really isn't a huge stream of diamonds anymore, 14 per week if you do the daily login, 7 (+1 each day) for the quest and on the app anywhere between 5-25 per day (theoretically more but in reality I've found its 5-8/9 on a good day, often it's just 5).
As you can see unless you take a chance on the offerwalls it will take you time to earn diamonds. A single lootpacks is 125 diamonds, you can buy them in multiples but the best value is the 25 packs for 2500, which is the price-per-pack the lootpacks used to be. Be wary of the Steam supreme pack as it does not actually guarantee you a Steam game!!, it refers to the (slim) chance for getting a Steam wallet code, the game you receive otherwise is I'd say 75-80% a Steam key but you could also get a GOG key or even an itch.io game. And the vast, vast, majority of the Steam games are mostly older bundled games that frequently end up in Fanatical mystery bundles or even $1 bundles. Caveat emptor applies.
(And as others have indicated Lootboy had issues with duplicates at the best of time, with some regions affected more than others, I haven't encountered any duplicate yet but many here have. It seems to have gotten worse with the site in a death spiral and the one thing that seems obvious now is that support will not meaningfully respond to any problems you have).
As the others have said coins are now worthless in the site's current state (not that they were that useful before).
I'll be honest I don't know if it's worth hitching on to LootBoy's wagon now, I honestly don't see the site recovering from the state it's in which is a shame for the staff who face unemployment and the longer it stays in this state the harder it will be to pull it out. If you understand and accept these caveats and you have the small-ish amount of time to spare (it takes me about 5 mins to get everything done on the app) and you're prepared to truly grind for diamonds or try your luck on the offerwall and then accept that you're essentially rolling the dice as to what reward you get, then you should probably go ahead and try to get something out of it. In theory you could probably get a single lootpack every month or try to save. In my example I cashed on all my diamonds for packs back in mid September and I only just crossed the 1500 mark again this last week (and I won't pretend it wasn't tedious at times). For me personally, for now the effort isn't too much even though I do wonder when I do cash these out whether I'll get enough to say the effort was warranted.
Apologies for the long wall of text I just wanted to give you as much detail as I could before you make a choice, its not an easy decision as it was even a year ago, let alone 2.5 when I joined up. And please excuse any typos or grammar issues, I'm typing this on my phone on the bus home and Gboard is being too helpful with autocorrect. 😠

Alienware is annoying. I just finally hit tier 2. The occasional giveaways can be nice, but most actual games are tier 3+. I did get enough dell points that in november I was able to spend $60 dell rewards before they expired in mid-november on a 1TB external HD (with sale price, tax, shipping, was about $68 - so I only paid $8 myself). Without the steam and twitch quests, earnings aren't fast. Also the new redesign sucks, the new relay "forum" is bullshyt. I'm up to..
Lifetime ARP: 2,548
Redeemable ARP: 1,348
2,900, 3,000, 3,400, 3,800 ARP for games from vault isn't even achievable for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
AWA is definitely more of an investment of time and effort than LootBoy but on balance the ability to (eventually) grab exactly what you might want from the vault and/or get DRP for those chosen countries (only North America really gets the full benefit of the scheme) tends to make it worthwhile for me at least.
It can be tedious to accumulate ARP I admit, and without a decent array of artifacts even more so (I was one of the lucky ones who got the Twitch one on the ground floor, it eventually really charged up my ARP rate). I also made the conscious decision to not partake in the vault for about the first 9 months and just let the pile grow a bit. It can be disheartening at first but I decided it would be worth it for future investment. And with the cost of artifacts now around the 1000 mark I'm glad I did, they ultimately do alot to speed up the ARP rate.
Comment has been collapsed.
If anyone is going to try and really invest in the AWA ecosystem then artifacts are a must, although I admit alot of it comes down to being at the right place at the right time to get good artifacts before they cycle out. There are 3 starter artifacts that are always available (+1 Steam quest, +1 Twitch (upgradeable with fragments to +2) and 1% marketplace/vault discount).
There's also currently a Discord poll artifact available (+1, upgradeable with fragments to +5 eventually) but that's 1000 ARP without a discount. It's a difficult trade-off because the artifact itself isn't super great but in the absence of other better artifacts it still gives you an increase in ARP collection, though admittedly not as good as the Twitch or calendar artifacts. (The former should hopefully be re-released in the future, since it's been a long while since it came out; the calendar artifact was available again just before Christmas so sadly I don't see it becoming available again any time soon ☹️).
The costs are admittedly substantial and it more than certainly means skipping the vault or DRP purchases for a time, with the trade-off being that over time you will accumulate more ARP than you did previously and that snowballs over time. Essentially it's a strategic decision about what you really want to aim for on the site. People like me for lucky, we were there at the right time when many of the artifacts were rolled out in the first place, but even for me personally it meant skipping more than a few vault months. The trade off is now I earn approximately 2200 or so ARP a month.
If you're prepared to stick with it and snap up artifacts & fragments when they come up it will pay off, eventually. That said even basic passive ARP like logging in every day will eventually get you to tier 3/4, where alot of the recent freebies have been targeted.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't do the steam or twitch quests. I get that'd earn ARP quicker. Are there any artifacts that would be beneficial for me? I've heard of artifacts, but never really looked into them.I don't even understand what fragments are/do.
Also the descriptions are so .. cryptic, that I'm unsure of what any of them actually do.
The one for 1000 ARP says "An amazing discovery has taken place. The lost civilization has been found... Type: Knowledge" .. what does that even mean?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm. No Twitch or Steam does lessen the options (if it makes any difference you can just pause the Twitch stream in a background tab or even on a mobile browser like I do - it only matters that the widget thingy is loaded, nothing else - and you can cough idle the Steam quests and get the ARP anyway cough cough community events lots of ARP cough cough).
Without those two you'll be looking at options like the Discord artifact for a small but not insignificant bonus to Discord polls, with the caveats that apply obviously (and assuming you're prepared to link your account to Discord in the first place). The calendar artifact before Christmas would have been ideal, truly passive income so keep your eyes peeled for any calendar affecting ones in the future. Could be a while though...
At the very least you should pick up the 1% off marketplace artifact to make purchases a tiny bit cheaper. There are 2 new artifacts coming out at some point in the future so maybe they might affect the non-twich/Steam elements of the site.
Fragments are used to upgrade artifacts that are indicated as upgradeable, usually in steps of 5-6 grades, each new upgrade replacing and enhancing the artifact before it. For example it takes 5 fragments to upgrade the Discord artifact to give +2 bonus on all Discord polls, and then more fragments (10 I think?) to upgrade to +3 and so on and so forth. It takes alot of fragments to fully upgrade most upgradable artifacts, and as such they aren't handed out lightly. (In my case just today i only maxed out my 3rd artifact, after nearly a year of scraping and saving fragments when ever they were offered)
They're typically available in the marketplace every 2-3 months for purchase, given out as prizes in the community events and peppered on the daily calendar rewards now and then (infact you should have received 2 by just logging into the site today).
You can view your current fragments by going to your profile page, then artifacts showroom (where you do all the equipping and upgrading of artifacts), if you've been on the site a while you would have received a nice tidy pile via the calendar rewards by now. Because they're a limited quantity you should think carefully before upgrading, perhaps even waiting to see what these 2 upcoming artifacts actually do before doing so. That said if you've got a big pile just sitting there then it can't hurt to upgrade something like the Discord one if you get it, every bit of ARP ultimately helps.

[Edit - Sorry everyone for so many posts off-topic of Lootboy. Is there a forum/discussion spot more appropriate?]
I've never used the discord side of Alienware. Didn't know it had artifacts. It has polls? That give ARP?
If I was ever buying, a 1% discount would be nice. I've only bought Dell points I think. With this new interface, I can't seem to find a lot of what I'm looking for. My rewards shows stuff, but not how I got them.It lists me earning fragments 3 times, that total to 17, but I can't find any actual inventory or anything where I can see what I have. My ARP progress is a long list of my earnings, and the graph that also shows spending. Doesn't seem like I can find what it was spent on from there. Between fragments on various pages/sections including under my rewards, and what I remember, I bought 1000 and 2000 dell points with ARP.
It says my Lifetime ARP: 2,560 and Redeemable ARP: 1,360 so that means I've spent 1200 total, I think.
but, there's a bunch of 500 Dell points further (older) on the list, that I know I didn't buy..
I can't even tell where, if I had any, my artifacts would be.. Oh, after looking all over, under profile..I can get to my artifact showroom. As expected, I have none. There it also actually says Fragments: 17.
Thanks for all info/advice. I'd love to keep asking questions, but I realized this is the wrong spot.

On the phone app, do the video watches for diamond pack, the 12 bonus watch vids (6 for silver, then 6 for diamond) and the 1 quest (click for world of warships ad) for 1 diamond. I can get 12-35ish diamonds a day. Then under the offers, web, sort by highest paying, scroll all the way down to 2 and 1 diamond offers, some will work, I can get another 6-30ish diamonds a day that way.
125 diamonds per pack. Only discount is if you can buy 25 packs, it's 2500 diamonds. You can spend 2000 silver on discovery packs, which have a chance of diamonds. Out of 100 packs, I can get maybe 3-12 diamonds, but there's been times opening 100 and I get 0 or 1 diamond total, best ever was about 18-22 for 100 packs. Scrap cards for 100 silver each, or 10 if scratched. Most games left aren't great. There's still some okay stuff. When opening diamond/ticket packs on phone app, you might get an option to trade game for diamonds.
I've got 130 "Yellow cards" in my collection, 127 are actually games, 122-1244 or so steam games. Two cards were actually for diamonds, one was 100, one was 125.
I have spent money, but not more than $40-50 total, and most of that was 3 months of the monthly pass, or during a event where 1 pack had 3 games in it.
There's also the "play" section, all the way at the bottom of that is a playtime button/banner. You can install an app/game and just sheer playtime/time open will award diamonds. I got a lot from Tiktok - 1,393, Alibaba - 268. The next tiktok stage would be 488 minutes for 56 diamonds, so stopped, last I did was 200 mins for 56 diamonds.

Lootboy mobile app started to freeze often for me. Is it just me or a common problem? What are they doing, mining bitcoins there or what?
Comment has been collapsed.
To be fair the app was always a bit sluggish at the best of times. But for me clearing the cache and restarting the app usually makes it smoother for a while, sometimes restarting the device entirely if need be. There's also an option to reduce animations, though I personally never noticed much difference when I experimented with it once. As a nuclear option you could clear cache, user data and uninstall/reinstall the app and see if that makes a difference.
For me it's become sluggish at preparing ads for the video lootpacks since the insolvency began, most other functions I've found still work ok as long as your internet is adequate. People's experience will vary of course, I simply don't use the app as much as I used to before.

It seems Lootboy has gotten a lot better when it comes to duplicated keys, but if you still have doubts about a key, you can use the group below for those giveaways :)
Unfortunately it happens far too often that Lootboy is handing out duplicate keys, so a lot of people feel uncomfortable with creating public giveaways with the games from Lootboy. So I just created a little group with some rules to make it less risky for the generous givers.I hope this helps :)
