I just wanted to offer what is hopefully constructive criticism on the ICG events…
This promotion is, to put it mildly, a mess.
Apparently, the competition is completely different depending on whether you are an existing player or a new player. Every time I get an email about the next portion of this competition, it’s even more confusing than the last.
Today I got an email to my player account saying about this week’s ICG event:
“You get one Lucky Draw ticket for every $500 wagered – on any games.”
I click on the ‘Find Out More’ link, and I get to a page that describes this week’s event as ‘$10,000 Big Slots Bonanza’, which lists 5 slot games that are included.
Which is it? Who knows? I could call or email I guess, but how many players are going to bother with that.
The ICG site itself has both of these events listed, if you dig deep enough. Of course, I still can’t tell whether those are for existing players or new players.
Why, oh why, would you invest so much money in a promotion and make it this confusing.
Last of all, I was very hopeful when the initial information about this event surfaced, that we would see real competitions worthy of the name ‘tournament’. Giving prizes to the players who wager the most over a few days time is decidely not much of a competition. I know all of my players see through any such contest as nothing more than a money grab by the casinos involved. With no clue as to how much others are wagering, few players are going to be excited about this.
I’m quite disappointed so far. Based on the zero conversions I’ve had through the ICG site, I’d say my players agree.
