New ideas for Freerolls
We have had some problems with players not playing a buy-in after they place in our freerolls.
I have a few ideas and would like input from the members. We would still have a few freerolls that would be ok for all to play after all we offer the events to get new players to download using our links. We not only need buy-in players the hosting sites also look to see if we bring in new members.
Idea #1
We can offer freerolls just for the buy-in players. The one problem with this is that it the buy-in only gets 10-15 players the poker rooms usually set the minimum numbers of players higher for freerolls.
Idea #2
In our freerolls we could offer coupon entry to the buy-in instead of the cash payout. So the first week of the month we would host a freeroll with 20-30 seats to the buy-ins which would have money added. The coupon would be good for one of the following buy-ins that month.
Idea #3
Drop the freeroll winnings to the minimum amount and add more funds to the buy-ins. So a freeroll might only be $5 but the buyins would have $50 added or more.

#2 is the best answer. This would funnel 100% of the freeroll winnings into the buy-ins indirectly. Those who are trying to build bankrolls will soon see a forum buy-in game has great value twofold - Better players which makes for a better game; and generally forum buy-ins have money added which make them a better value than an average tournament.

I personally like idea one and three, I am not really big on the coupon thing. I Love a great small buy in big money added tourneys. |

This is a problem not only here but I read about it at alot of places. You are trying to make money yourself or you wouldn't have the site and work with the poker rooms. The poker rooms want to make $ and see a return for the freeroll they do for you and other sites. When people just play the freerolls and don't play in the cash tournaments it makes you look bad.
Maybe you could have people send you $5 up front to play in so many freerolls and then supplement the freerolls with a paid tournament with the poker room with the $5 people paid up front. I know it's a crazy idea but if people paid $6 to play say 2 freerolls and a chance to win $ and still be entered into a paid event, it's a good deal for them, they get 3 shots to cash for $6. You would take $3 of the $6 to pay for the paid entry.
Just a crazy idea I am sure but at least you'll get some real poker players instead of the massive amount of freeroll whores.

Choice #2 Sounds Good, But Why Should You Have To Play Buy-in When You Might Want To Sit At A Cash Table With your Winnings Or Get In A bigger Tourney...

The problem is the poker rooms we use want to see results. If we get 100 players in a freeroll and one week later a $1 buy-in with $50 added does not start the rooms will no longer offer us events. |

#3. This will draw in the type of members/players you're looking for. And these are what i always look for.... Low Limit Buy Ins with cash added. IT'S EVERYONES FAVORITE!! |

Interesting set of options... I like #2 the best, it will bring in players, but not much (if any) cash to the cash games.
