It is always good to participate in the games. The prize you get when you win is amazing because you can use them. This is my third month with SFI and I have only won in one game but the t-credits I got for winning helped me play other games. It helps you get VersaPoints that you could have been short for and needed to advance. I know playing games helps me with those VersaPoints that I wasn't counting on when I figured up my points for the month.
