We will see if this monthly fee based business model will work. If it does great deal of poker and sports betting market could transfer to monthly fee based services.

That's very true. I just started on a fee based site for tournies that costs $10 bucks a month if you pay upfront for a year, or $20 on a month to month option. They have a great tourney schedule of cash paying MTT's each day. You pay nothing to enter the cash tournies and qualifiers for upcoming special MTT's with big paydays.

Something like this I find will be great for so so many beginner and intermediate players wanting a low cost option to play many many cash tournies without risking more than .33 per day. It's really a no lose situation, and a great way to learn how to play MTT's and improve your game. The cash offerings are substantial enough to keep your interest too.

The cash tourney offerings do max out at 1000 players, and they are usually full before going off, so the site definately has a solid player base already. So it looks like this type of fee based site for a few dimes a day can do well.

Hopefully the days where big sites like Party are able to rake off 3 million of players bankrolls a day are numbered. Maybe two years from now things will be totally different.
