How about we pay losing Micro-limit players to come back and play ?
We are trying something new, since your collective response to our deposit bonus was underwhelming.
We are giving our losing Micro-limit players a "loss insurance" promotion. If they are in the top 100 micro-limit players, but book a net loss for November.... we will reimburse them for the loss, up to $20 each player. (If this proves popular, we can expand the idea.) The details are on our website. Truepoker CEO

Also, 20 for a month isn't much either. I have a 10,000 sign up bonus at Hollywood poker that I can clear at $5/table/hour. I enjoy playing at your site, but there is just too much money to be made elsewhere.

"I have a 10,000 sign up bonus at Hollywood poker that I can clear at $5/table/hour. '
Basically, that is like a prop deal for $5 per table hour ? (The size of the so-called bonus seems pretty irrelevant.) I am not saying that is a bad prop deal, but is that really a bonus ..... Any conditions on your play ? Truepoker CEO

Truepoker CEO [/ QUOTE ] It's really a bonus, through BW. Not that 18x points at Poker Room is my idea of pleasant, but it should still be better than 20x raked at True.

Re: How about we pay losing Micro-limit players to come back and play
It's 18x POINTS. Meaning that if you play 5/10, it's really a 9x raked hand requirement - $3 rake = 2.1 points. Even at 3/6, most hands are raked at least $2, giving you 1.4 points per raked hand. It's significantly better than a 20x raked hand requirement, and the game selection on the PokerRoom network isn't too bad.

Re: How about we pay losing Micro-limit players to come back and play ?
I tried to send this in a PM to TP CEO but it said you have exceeded your alloted quota of PM's. Basically, you seem to be honestly interested in promoting your site and attracting new players. I would like to see you succeed since I enjoy the play on True - it's just a fun place to play.
But you will never be able to compete with the limited number of players and games you currently have and you can't attract new players with a 20x bonus. If you really want to grow your business you need to take a deep breath and take the plunge - put out a really nice 5x or 7x bonus offer and have some faith that the quality of the game play experience and good CS will allow you to retain the new players you attract with the bonus. To win big in this competitive environment you need to take some risk - in this case invest in an attractive bonus. I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the results.

Re: How about we pay losing Micro-limit players to come back and play ?
Live and learn. Clearly, a 5x bonus will not fly in this market for reloading Bonus Whores.
We previously have offered our reload bonuses without a selective code or restrictions. Additionally, we offered payouts which were incremental, versus the "cliff" payouts on some bonuses, you did not have to complete the run to get some of the payour. We formerly had offered a 10x reload. We likely will try something a bit selective, albeit with a higher payout rate next time. Thanks for the feedback. Truepoker CEO
