Maybe you could require a deposit of $1000 or more after you make the announcement. Then maybe it would only be a 6 month membership for the ELITE.
Maybe give 50 points per day to the posters. Can you imagine how many posters that WERE NOT going to deposit $1000 in the first place would do so then? Imagine how much money that betislands would be getting. Personally Lou, I have a $1000 buring a hole in my pocket and i would send it to betislands just to try them out for ELITE poster status and the extra points per day. Hell I would probably do it just for 24 points a day, but that number wouldnt generate alot of new signups. You would need to hit at least 50 points per day to get alot of these guys around here excited.
But Lou, i will send betislands a NEW signup tomorrow and send in my first deposit with them in the amount of $1000 if you offer more points for an ELITE status. maybe you could you try it out for like 1 month and if you really dont get enough members sending in cash, then you can revert back to 12 points per day. Give me a reason to send this money to betislands instead of 5dimes or that new shop synbet. The ball is in your court Lou!
Make it happen and the books will definitely benefit. I know that fishhead will send in deposits of over $1000. You would have to make a rule that has to be a new deposit. Money already in the account would not count of course. If necc one would have to take a payout and send it to another book. Now tell me that books wouldnt love this idea.
I had a betislands rep call me the other day about making my first deposit. I told the guy that when they offer up a contest for ONLY players who are active each week or when you give ELITE status, then i would gladly deposit. He offered me 75% bonus I think too, so that makes it a good deal to me.
Is betislands a trustworthy book though? They sound like they are a group of 5 guys in Topeka, Kansas just taking bets to me. Hopefully i am wrong though
