Hi again all,
like I said earlier .. don’t give up on CR just yet. They have an new payment depsosit solution coming along and though its still out there whether it will work or not … it sounds very, very promising and will turn this all around to their favor if it works out.
I’m not in a position to say more right now. but I’m very hopeful. Enough so …… that if it works ….. I’m actually going to start spending money on advertising again.
Been riding on bookmark traffic quite a while now and because I’ve always had small numbers ….. which now are down to very small numbers ….. I have to give it up to CR for not doing me like I’ve seen some of the other major players do me … which is that as soon as my traffic fell off ….. their income fell off. No big leap for me to think that has more to do with my players already signed up there being taken than it does with the drop in traffic. You should be able to coast for quite a while when you’ve spent 7 years accumulating players.
I won’t forget the places that dropped my income as soon as my traffic dropped off. They’ve proven to me what kind of partnership I can expect from them.

Prof…. when I said dropped off about 50% … it was really more like 40%
I’ve enough experience with CR to know it can and (I hope) will pick up to normal before the month’s end.
also keep in mind its the month before taxes. I imagine those that pay are like myself ……..dealing with that fact this month instead of waiting till the last minute.
April should be better towards the end ….. and May should be much better …… especially if this new payment/deposit solution works out (in the case of CR).
IF/when it does work out ….. I think its a smart idea to rather than promote on our sites …. “hey this place has the answer!” .. rather to just suggest to everyone this is the best choice right now …. and let the players find out why once they get inside the casino. Now CR may say different when they go public …. but right now I think that its a wise move NOT to promote deposit/payment options on your sites even though that goes against my whole idea of advertsing …… it seems it might slow down the DOJ from finding out the new methods and buy them more time to be a working solution because right now its pretty obvious they’re onto things almost as fast as they are coming out.
*thus the reason the Prof mentioned in another thread its better to talk about payment solutions in the private area. (please correct me if I’m wrong).
