As this site will be a skin we are restricted in many ways as to what we can offer. However it is possible to create are own games with our own structure so a sng with timed levels and a higher starting stack is a possibility. This would only work after the site was established though as it would be restricted to our site and our players only.

A 3 level volume control is also being considered.

Thx for the post jayboo, some of those ideas are not possible on a skin however we have the dedication and the staff to make this site our own. One large difference is this site will be run by a marketing company which should create a large number of new players. Ray.

Initially, I would want to see just one thing: AGGRESSIVE MARKETING.

Do this and try to get the fish to come play at your site (see: Party Poker). Then you can worry about rewards programs for high volume players.

Without the fish and player volume, rewards programs consisting of rakeback, prop pay, etc. don't matter (see: Games Grid, etc.). You must have player volume.

This is far and away the most important. All else is a distant second.

From where?... You are about 2 years late for finding new players in the US.

What do you think will be your edge that will drive people to your site, over the 300+ other choices they already have?

While growth may be slowing, I don't think it's too late. There are plenty of high school and college kids that are watching poker on TV and playing little home games that will be ready to start playing online. In my small subdivision of 30 homes, I know of at least 5 high school kids that have said they can't wait until they can play online.

And don't forget, there is the population of current players now that can be enticed to come to a new site. You just have to give them a reason to switch.

You just need to hook them. Hook them by coming up with a fun, catchy name for your site (see: Party Poker). Fishy players are interested in playing at a site that they perceive as a FUN place to play (see: Party Poker). Also, offer some easily cleared initial deposit bonuses. Fishy players like "free" money. Once you get the fish, the non-fish will come.

Aggressively market the site and that marketing MUST include TV advertisements. Internet and print ads can only go so far. It's no coincidence that Party exploded in growth after they saturated the airwaves with TV commercials on WPT broadcasts.

It also would be good if you could find some top-notch affiliates. People who are go-getters like Jeremy of Partyriches would be a huge asset.

I don't think it's hard to do, it just requires the capital to aggressively market.

Lower rake could attract players. Current rake structure is extremely high compared to costs if site has traffic.
