Okay, it was stated some where that the owners are very open to new suggestions...normally I wouldn't say anything, but if you make a claim like that I'm not going to be able to resist.
I was excited to check out the rewards for chips (as I know many of the GPTs I belong to offer a great selection of prizes) and I was very disappointed. Maybe it's just me, but dice? Cards? Isn't there piles and stacks of those taking up space already in practically every household? Let alone, for 50 chips...sorry, but that's ridiculous. The gift cards are a nice reward, but every other home-based GPT I belong to has them for at least HALF the amount of points you are asking for. The ipod shuffle for 2k chips? It's going for 800 points some where else! These prizes are important, since for a lot of us, it gives us motivation to keep up with completing offers and it adds a great bonus incentive.
So here's a few more suggestions on what to add/change to the chip rewards, and please remember that the price shouldn't make us cringe and feel discouraged. I have also included the average amount of points that are offered from other sites.
- Ticket to a monthly drawing cash prize (10-15)
- Gift cards ($5= 50, $10=100-130)
- Cash bonuses (lets just say that your $5 that is going for 100 chips...it's going for about 70 points everywhere else)
- Attainable prizes that don't revolve around every aspect of poker
Sorry for the harsh criticism, but in the long run I really do think it will help you guys at. I understand that this is a new GPT, and my intent is only to help make it better. I hope you take this in the right way and do with it what you find appropriate.
Thank you.
