About the Paid to Play Suspension.

We created Paid to Play as an opportunity for gamers to get rewarded, just by gaming. Since the program’s launch, over 1B zSilver has been exchanged and over 35,000 rewards redeemed by our fans.

We’re always listening to the community, and everyone’s feedback is important to us. With an increasing amount of negative feedback on the Paid to Play program, we’re going to be taking a hard look into the overall program and mechanics to do right for you and all the gamers who participated. While we take time to develop ways to make it rewarding and beneficial for all, we will suspend the Paid to Play program, effective March 1, 2018. In the event that we are unable to provide a satisfactory solution, the program will be suspended indefinitely.

Making Razer zSilver the rewards credits for gamers has always been our goal, and we’re constantly working on ways to introduce more rewards to earn zSilver. With over 50 rewards on the Razer zSilver catalog, kindly note that rewards will always be on a first-come, first-served, while stocks last basis.

If you’re a step away from redeeming your next Razer reward, here are other ways to earn zSilver:

• Using Razer zGold to pay for your gaming purchases
• Being an active contributor on Razer Insider
• Logging in daily on Razer Cortex
• Syncing your Steam account with Cortex: Deals
• Subscribing to Cortex: Deals newsletters and more to be introduced soon

We thank you for supporting Paid to Play, and welcome all feedback and suggestions on this thread. Should you have any other questions about Paid to Play, please write in to Razer Support or refer to our FAQs here.

Probably no one complained it is just an excuse to end program that is causing them financial losses, even partnering with free to play games companies to bring them players Razer was just losing cash in this deal.
Still tho thank you Razer i got couple of things from you and i'm glad.


If you just read the forum you would know. The complaints are still there, the threads involved are the most long. "probably no one complained" is just one of the things that they said it wasn't good. To say this you have really little involvment in the comunity, that was the whole point of the program, give something to the ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

I just wish they'd suspend the expiration period too... Especially now zSilver is essentially on hold indefinitely, our points are gonna start expiring in a few months at a rate a few hundred times faster than we could ever replace them without buying them through zGold.

Wouldn't that make zGold a definite replacement for zSilver if the P2P program is never brought back?

I hope not, if they do millions of players will get angry 😞

The Paid to Play campaign was my favorite and most rewarding experience of using Razer products.

One of the top most rewards I feel would allow the enjoyment of grinding using Cortex would be Razer Blades being offered.

Thanks for the opportunity regardless, since the zSilver was rewarded another way besides the common standards.

The campaign is basically why I made a Blizzard account. Hahaha. I love the SC series but I really am trying to stay away from making more internet accounts (and avoid linking accounts between sites).

With PTP is gone and the ability to gain silver now being very limited, is there a chance that the Razer Cortex login rewards be increased...
Like from 40 to 100 daily. Or change the whole structure to login in over more days increasing maxing at a point but allowing for new higher daily value each time the max value is hit. This eventually hitting a max value.
So like currently day 7 hit 40zs per, day 8 45zs (current progression), day 14 80zs per
maxing after 3 weeks to 120 per day.

Just an idea...

Hope that PTP comes back sooner then later.

Will there be new products to redeem?

Interesting... Really good idea to increase daily login points

Or at least until they re-introduce P2P. Don't know if Razer will re-introduce or not

Guess I'm a bit late to the party. I am so sorry that you all are getting such a high volume of negativity when this is honestly a great program. I'm new here, but I eagerly await you bring to the community in the future. Good luck devs! :smile_:

Not trying to be rude or anything, but how about bringing back the Paid to play program and perhaps block the trolls who complain about it? As our savior Min said: they don't get anything from rewarding us for playing games. While I'm still skeptical that that's completely true, it is certainly possible. It's basically charity if that's the case. Why complain about it?

But how to weed out the trolls and still benefit from positive feedback. Sure some trolls or people being jerks for the heck of it can be painfully obvious. However the are many people who bring very valuable points, concerns, and even solutions that go about it with a gruff (often mistaken as troll-like) attitude. 'eliminating' the trolls may help one problem, but allow for a different inflow of another problem.

In the first place, they shouldn't be rude and should talk like educated and civilized people. On the side note, I can't imagine a helpful but troll-like comment/feedback.

I just have to download the Razer Cortex app and i saw that this program is suspended... 😕
I hope that is will return fast! 🙂

Very sad this was taken away. But if they find a way to fix this it would be a lot better. I'm at around 25k, been playing for a few months. A buddy of mine told be that you could just leave the game on and AFK the silver. Did not care to exploit it, but it does need to be fixed.

I hope it does too but it needed a lot of fixing. you really didn't even need to play to earn the silver. you could leave the game on and still earn the silver.

Depends on the game, some games have idle timers that boot you(eg Diablo3) if you idle for too long, so if you tried to just let them sit n earn zSilver you would be disappointed 😉

Have you tried putting your graphics settings to low and maybe closing other programs as you play?
