Hi again,
This would require involvement by the casinos, but Id think players could be attracted by offering free $$$$ to gamble with (much more than a $10 NDR) then require them to answer your questionnaires e.g. record transaction data that would be beneficial to a variety of entities. Of course the play through requirements would have to be stiffer on these testing accounts to prevent abuse
Actually I tell my testers to go ahead and cash-out as long as they’ve gotten a decent amount accumulated (most my testers are decent people and I’ve never had to set any kind of limit, but as a general rule of thumb I consider a gain of $100 or more a fair amount) because you also want to know about how long and how much hassle is involved in getting players paid. Shoot that’s paramount as anything in my book because the player comes first; then me.
and I don’t think you could offer anything as an incentive to the average player for their participation short of the free place to store information simply because otherwise it invites abuse and taints your results.
what I plan on doing is offering this service thru a few sites, and thru others I will still offer some kind of incentive for the player sending me information.
and of course I’ll still fund my testers. Its an expense that I think is money very well spent.
