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.

Can Somebody explain to me why people complain about something free? ok I will never have enough point to get a brand new Keyboard.... but a 30$ voucher is easy to get for most gamers! 30$ off is a nice incentive to buy a huntsman instead of a black widow!


i'm guessing a lot of those complaining were those who mainly benefited from "abusing" the p2p system where they use multi logon or afk to gain the max points per day.

with the current system of diversified points accumulation from various sources, the p2p method of gaining points is no longer viewed viable for getting "easy" points. even other methods are also not easy (but not impossible).

so, many of those must be really pissed

Someone positive, that's something so rare on this topic !
That being said, i prefer the Blackwidow Elite over the Hunstman Elite for the USB and jack passthrough, and you can choose witch switches you want (i saw review telling that they Hunstman keys are quite noisy).


i redeemed a hunstman (not elite) and also a bw tournament edition...prefer my BW te for the smaller footprint.
and maybe also i migrated from a previous BW version. hence, i might be slightly biased towards BW
Its not supposed to be easy its a fidelity plan... but I will do everything I can to get that base station
