Could we kindly get this thread back on track?
I think it is a very important thread, I don’t want it to be derailed.
We were talking about why aquisition in the industry was in trouble, and I am still waiting to hear the opinions of many others on the subject.
Nothing so far has addressed how one can avoid having newbies go through two very extensive signups revealing way too much personal information.
Personally, I never fill in a correct phone or social security number, and I use a po box.
I am still not comfortable with the signup despite of these precautions.
People who fill all this in and then get their Credit Card rejected (are they really still the major method of payment? Mine don’t work!) and have to fill all that out all over again must not be feeling an urge to play when all that is done with.
It’s enough to make you depressedor frustrated if you get declined, even if you know your credit is great. It’s a turnoff.
Conversions are the pits and I would like to see some serious discussion about changes of all the items contributing to this mess.
Worst comes to worst, people go and find a message board like wol, with all the complaints there about crooked casinos. Most of that comes from the bonus system and wagering requirements.
In an effort to keep a few abusers out of a flawed system, all the honest new players are turned away.
What can we do about it? Are mostly non-US nationals able to use credit cards? Should one ask a person for country of origin and then route them to the appropriate payment method?
