Let's think about the amount of time spent while pursuing each activity. The auctions usually take quite a lot of time. Sure there are some that are over in a matter of minutes, but I haven't been to one of those. Most of them go on and on. The winners are published. If you look for one, you can just about tell how long that auction lasted. If you watch one in action, you can pretty well tell how many people are playing it.
The games on the other hand are much less time consuming. You do them when you want, or have time for them. But the points that you earn are more readily available: right there on your Profile amongst your badges.
The cost of an auction compared to a game is higher by far than the cost of a game. But you get mulch more back playing the auction than a game with the MRP and TCredits rewarded for playing.
The prizes for the auction wins are also worth much more to you than the prizes for the games. You get a tangible item which you can keep, sell, or give as a gift, or you wing something for your SFI business. With the games you win only TCredits.
Now for playing either auction or game, we get one VP for each TCredit played. If we need to earn lots of AVP quickly, then the auctions are the way to go.
But, back to the topic of time spent. Unless you use the autobid and blow your stack of TCredits quickly, you will spend much time at PriceBenders. Do you have that time to give up to this?
Do you want your downline seeing what you are doing with so many hours of your week or month? Is this what you want your team duplication to follow? Could that time be better spent growing and training your business, and theirs?
I think that the best choice between the two is PriceBenders with a warning to not use all your time and money for them, and teach your downline to play them in moderation, not sacrificing their business for this pleasure.
