[Kerplunk17]

Hey guys, so we had the the big freerolls, and we are ready to move onto getting our ring games rolling.  So heres what were going to do. You the players will be able to suggest the promotions you want to see us implement in terms of deposits/referrals/etc (within reason). So go for it, give us the best you got and we will try our best to accommodate everyone!

Feel free to shoot us your suggestions on here or on Twitter at @TheEdgePoker!

A referral scheme would be nice.

how would a 30 percent referral bonus on a user you refers deposit sound?

I was thinking on a percentage of the rake...

30% on first deposit?

[Kerplunk17]

Ya, it would be 30 percent of what they deposit

But, on first deposit, or every deposit?

A referral program is always more attractive when it has the possibility of recurrent gains, like 30% of house hedge forever, the immediate gain for the affiliate is lower, but on the long run it will probably be higher, this will not invalidate some reward on first deposit.

More freerolls will be nice, specially at more friendly hours for us across the pond, it's quite late here the current daily freeroll of Hedge Poker, and has I've been seeing in other bitcoin poker sites, freerolls seems the way to get an active user base.

The freerolls have been great and they are definitely a good way to get active users.

Other than a referal bonus, the only thing I can think of would probably be too hard to code as I only see them at house games or casinos...

Bad beat table bonus, cracked aces bonus, etc.

Maybe do a weekly freeroll for 100-200 credits for users who have participated in x amount of tournaments.

Thanks for the feedback guys!  Looking into what will work best for the players and the site as a whole.  Stay alert for updated that will be announced soon.

Update: So while we work on the coding and implementing of referral and deposit bonuses, we are now going to implement weekly freerolls for players who accrue hands played on ring games.  This week, we are starting it out with a 10 ltc tournament for those who accrue 100 hands in ring games by weeks end!

[Kerplunk17]

Also, moving tournament times up to 8pm EST starting on July 4th, where we will be have two tournaments that day!

Woot!  Won at poker tonight (well my wife may have helped) but no one stuck around for the ring games

I really want to get the ring games going.  3% rake is not bad at all so i don't know what else can be done to keep players there...

Hopefully the earlier start time for the free roll helps with keeping folks in the ring game afterwards.  Great site and i don't want to see it fail!
