About the Paid to Play Suspension.


  • Anonymous
  • 0 replies
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.

The points would expire before you even remotely got close to being able to afford anything!!

I'm curious as to what they will put in place to replace P2P because there is a big difference earning 940 a day to 40 a day!!
bummer, I just started grinding 😞
Well, there go my chances of getting a BlackWidow.

Might have to start buying games with zgold now.
The amount of money You spend buying zgold. You might as well buy the product straight from the store
Thank you for that but I sad of heard it.
i suspect those who are owners of Razer gear did this. i should hang them for ruining this...
I saw this was happening at work a few days ago. I just joined and am sad to see it go.
Would the reward prices be updated? Or it will stay that high with only 40 zsilver reedemable per day
Can we make a petition to show to Razer how unhappy we are for suspending the program? :frown_:

would the community be involved in the creating process?


The community is always involved in some way. Be it through discussion on Razer Insider or through other social media platforms. The teams are always listening for feedback and over the years we've even beta tested programs through the Razer fans!

Brilliant idea straight away... ask the fans what they would like to see incorporated and offer rewards of some form for any ideas that are put in place.

Once a new system is then incorporated allow all members/insiders to beta test the new idea and be rewarded silver for participating and offer more silver to any valuable feedback and implementations.

with P2P play going away can you try to add Canadian payment to ZGold. just with the way it is most the time it would cost more to use ZGold and well with P2P being gone earning just really isnt doable in a year

How would this be the reason for the program shutting down exactly?

You can also use the Insider achivements to get some ZSilver as well. It might be slow going, but it all adds up overtime.

They will likely add more ways to earn ZSilver in the future as well.
Why would people put negative feedback when it's literally free

I hope to atleast they put double zsilver days now ;-;

If we can afford buying zgold we would buy razer products without caring about the program being shutted down.
There’s a fundamental question here that most seem to completely ignore:

Why should Razer give out anything for free to people, just for playing a game?

What VALUE does Razer get from this?
Idea: How about boost all games to 3 Silver/minute and do a few 1800 silver weekends until shutdown? That way we can get the silver we need before shutdown?

It's still a great program if you're already going to be buying games etc. with zgold. That way you're getting zsilver for doing something you would have been already doing anyways. The point of zgold isn't to buy it to get zsilver to then buy the product you wanted. It's more like the icing on the cake... and you don't buy the whole cake just for the icing (at least I don't, but you do you if that's how you like your icing).
this makes me sad :(
P2P is the reason, why i play online games

I wonder what revamp or what would replace p2p.
