30 play money signups but not a single deposit?

Ok, this is just silly. I have over 30 play money signups so far this month on fulltilt without a single deposit. Anyone else seeing this kind of non-conversion?

I get that a lot more at Full Tilt than anywhere else, mainly because of people signing up because of the pros. However also bear in mind the lack of deposit options for US players at the moment which can have some bearing on this.

I just signed up for the MyWebATM option tonight myself to see what it was all about and I see that it take 7-10 days to get your card so I'm going to assume that this has a lot to do with the lack of deposits so far for the month since this is the only good option for US players. I'm hoping that in another week or so we will see a lot of these start to convert.

lol, 51 play money signups now still with no deposits. This sucks.

Same problem here. I think things will come around once people switch to epassaporte, mywebatm...

Yea conversions blow now. It's so much harder for US players to deposit it almost makes it not worth it.

If I had the choice between waiting 7 days for a BS online debit card or driving a few hours to the casino. i would just drive to the casino and have more fun.

This is how the Governemnt works. The States with casinos want you to play there because of the tax dollars. The also know that there are huge tax possabilities for legalized online gaming within the State.

The feds really need to pull their heads out. They already lost on billions of tax dollars had the just thought to regulate it in the States. Oh well! no one ever accused The US Governemtn of being smart...

Our signup conversions/deposits have remained steady, but our regular players are dropping off

If it weren't for the new players coming in, we'd be down more than the 20% we are

Keep in mind we're a rakeback affilaite so it's a little different beast

Hollywood poker have a policy of cancelling your play money sign ups after 3 months. Not good if you have a mass of play money playeres hoping they will convert. They changed from live stats to daily. Strangely the stats dropped dramatically

We're now up to 72 signups for the month and have 2 deposits now. Still not even paying for our marketing but I have hopes that we will start seeing more and more over the next 2 weeks.

It's gettin better. Up to 90 total signups now showing 10 deposits, marketing now paying for it's self and we're into the profit zone.
