If the patronage doesnt pick ups soon maybe having freerolls or money added games at some of the bigger sites would be a wise investment.
But thye would have to be eye catchers of some sort and maybe 1 with an above minimium buy in to see what kind of players will play.
Im just guessing but it would seem since the U.S has the most gamblers and they want to play at a U.S safe site,they are going to go to one of the bigger sites who are advertised on T.V.Use their advertisement to our advantage.
So you draw them in here then funnel them off to the other sites they dont know about using THF links.
I know alot of forums use the big sites to get members,thats where most of us came from.
The thing is we have to be better and find a way to make them come here over a period of time(week or two),so they get use to it,like a habit, and never stop.
It worked before
Maybe throw some approved money in to spice the prize?
Or possibly do the heats and put approved in automatic,
or put a bonus on for each finishing spot taken by an approved member ,that will make them want to be approved(turbo poster delight)
In a money added buy in,scratch a 5.50 buy in and aim higher , to how much Im not sur,e Id suggest 15 minimum.
A number you think will draw players who wont treat it like a` freeroll and lower the quality of play,which will make the people with more money more likely to play.
