Though I am in no way questioning your statement that this type of thing converts a certain percentage of players, speaking from a personal standpoint, I despise popups. I run 3 different popup blockers at all times so I don’t have to look at them. Furthermore, if someone is underhanded enough to figure out how to invade my viewing pleasure with a popup that gets around my blockers, I make sure they never make a single penny from me. Now, I may be the only person in the world that feels like this, but that is why I don’t have popups on my site.

If someone has a popup blocker, it’s for a reason. I’ll take a wild guess here that it’s ‘cos they dont want popups 
Appreciate you’re only trying to help Jared, but it is a rather questionable tactic IMO. I never go back to sites that beat my popup blocker or do those horrid Intersticials that interrupt what I’m reading out of principle.
I tend to agree. We want to sign up players not alienate them. This may be a little too aggressive as a marketing tool.
I am not exactly a fan of pop-ups either however I am in the business of converting traffic into cash. This script is optional and available for those who want to use it and was created based on affiliate request.
If you don’t want to serve unblockable exit traffic you do not have to.I disagree with this technique as “underhanded”, to me it is a matter of evolution. As a gaming affiliate myself I feel it is my duty to serve effective advertisements that promote online entertainment. Soon I am sure Google will kill my Javascript solution, but until then I will make sure the 30% or so of people that have POP-blockers see what they have been missing.
I will continue to push the envelope to find new and effective ways to convert traffic that affiliates can use or ignore.

Good stuff. Pushing the envelope is always good
Quote:I disagree with this technique as “underhanded”, to me it is a matter of evolutionYou have created a script to bypass a setting that the user has selected; yes that is underhanded. Evolution? Lock your backdoor I will come through your window is not evolution; thats a criminal looking for another access point.
Interesting Axl, glad to see you are blowing this out of proportion. There is no robbery here, just effective advertising.. which I guess is semantics.
Again, if you don’t want to use the script you do not have to. If you would like people to see a very effective advertisment use it.
Remember it is available for Blackjack and Roulette as well just contact me.

[email protected]IN other words … “I’ll do anything for a quick buck”
With a large slice of …. “I don’t care that affiliate sites will alienate visitors and will slowly lose popularity as long as my pop-ups are displayed and my company harvests revenue off their existing traffic right now.”
You try and make it sound noble with “pushing the envelope” slants but in reality you know that you are pushing a method that will annoy surfers which is why they installed pop-up blockers in the first place.
All power to your greed – it obviously circumvents your ethics …
Very poor form
:rasberry:Already posted in the other thread by the same name, but I would agree that blocking a pop-up blocker is not a nice thing to do to people. Underhanded is one word for it I guess, but upsetting people coming to your site is the real problem, and it’s these sorts of tactics that give our industry a bad name.
Actually, I guess I’ll share a short story. When I first started in this business, I was talking with a business associate about the concept and letting him know that we are going in to the online casino marketing business. His first response was… “So, you are going to be doing all of that pop-up stuff?” I of couse had to explain more.
