Wow, you, my fellow Finn, went further with Shotbux than I did (too bad for you, though!)
I joined Shotbux pretty much as soon as it launched - it seemed pretty shady from the start, but sometimes I like to "toy" with shady sites (not invest, try my luck if they happen to pay etc).
So, since the site said "no minimum", I clicked my ads for a few days and then tried to cash out. Shotbux told me I needed to click at least 100 ads before I could cash out. Okay fine, that's nothing too suspicious, many sites have a rule like that, so I went on and clicked 100+ ads, and tried to cash out again. This time Shotbux told me I should have 11 (? or something like that) direct referrals before I could cash out. Mmmm... I thought what the heck, it's a new bux, getting referrals shouldn't be too difficult; and it took me like 2 days to get 15+ referrals (damn I feel sorry for them!). Aaaand I tried to cash out again. Now, and not any time sooner, Shotbux told me I couldn't cash out because I had not invested at all.
That's when I finally had enough of Shotbux, LOL. Like, it doesn't really matter to me since I didn't give them a dime, but of course it is still annoying. (It always irks me how this site every once in a while pops up - not here, I think, but on other sites - I feel sorry for ppl who waste their money advertising Shotbux)
Usually I'm understanding and trying not to say a bad word aobut anyone/anything, but Shotbux sucks. It's been a month or two since I left the site, but at least back then they didn't have forum at all, I find it ridicilous that you have to pay for sending support tickets, all those suspicious rules about cashing out, their own stupid currency, insane withdraw fees... Phew.
...just wanted to share my Shotbux experience

PS. Found out that this 1100% of SB€ money, so in real money it is only 110% (with my investment 25€ could withdraw about 27€!)
So be aware of it, SCAM 100%
