Trade with Confidence in Poppo Live the Right Way

Carmina went to test out to see how it would be if I didn't renew my VIP in Poppo Live. Those who don't have time to watch and catch fireworks it is alright because you can gain money when you attend a party through gamble by sending gifts. I started off from 8K coins and was able to reach up to 17K from gambling and sending gifts to parties I had attended each day. Sample: Day 1  I have 8,009 coins and my points is 188,335 which can be cashed out if you want too. I am still saving my points to reach bigger amount.  Day 2: Coins is 9,399 and Points is 191,135 notice it is increasing each day.  The concept is to let you understand the coins will increase because you're clicking the chest every time you attend a one-hour party. The points will also increase when you have completed your task every day adding 1,800 plus the gambling you've earn from sending gifts to someone.  If you trade your coins to someone it automatically goes to your points.  Day 3:  Noti...
