Is it just me it annoys?
No it annoys me like mad.
Popups annoy me too.
I don’t use a popup blocker because I want to know if I am infested with thiefware. I’d rather just get rid of that immediately.
I don’t mind one popup when I leave a place.
What I hate is popup hells where places spawn them like crazy.
:shakebutt I too have hated them since they started, and, I’m proud to say I have never clicked on a pop-up! :dafingers Maybe they’ll someday get the message if everyone uses a blocker or just never clicks on them!
I think the problem is one of perception more than anything. Few people like to have adverts and stuff thrust in their face and whenever i land on a site that throws me a popup, unless the website has something totally unique, i rarely go back.
Even worse, those ones that fly around the screen over the text. Even if a site is unique, i NEVER go back to those. I stopped using my favourite site Lastminute.com a while back ‘cos of this and as a result i found latedeals.com which is just as good and without the hard sell
I wonder how many players get that negative vibe when they hit a casino website, compared to how many actually click the popups. Pretty impossible to tell i guess. Unless you run a survey of visitors in a popup window
I think online casinos would be wise to turn off the download casino now pop up which you receive on hitting their site. Annoying as hell and IMO a major turn off. If the site is well designed and interesting, you are more likely to become a player there.
