I agree. The first time I came on here I was totally overwhelmed and confused and was just going to leave. Bumping into a real life friend on here stopped me and made me give it a chance.

yeah
I've tried to refer few ppl but only one has signed up and I don't thk he's been on for days. I thk the upgrade would help a little, but not for sure. Good idea though
Then some of the other players I know have already played here in the past or currently play here from time to time. Maybe if they use to play here, and become inactive there could be some kind of bonus for returning? IDK trying to figure out something lol
I also find it hard to refer people, but those extra incentives do make me want to try harder for referrals. I think people who sign up end up not using the aff link(or bonus code) or whatever anyway, so rghy2 might be on to something with the option to give your referral a ticket or something similar. Even with the extra incentives it might not bring up the referrals though.. maybe try a "who can refer the most" in 2 weeks or a month if you do decide to add the incentives though.
I completely agree that it was overwhelming and confusing. It took me a good 2-3 months before I really started understanding what was going on. The PO guide for beginners was confusing and didn't answer a lot of my questions. I don't like watching tutorial videos because I don't have the attention span for them, so I haven't watched those. The tournaments that you opt in to need a link to the FAQ on the PW release system. I would say the opt-in/buy coupon pages should also have a link to a FAQ on how to earn points.
I honestly think a bunch of us have tried referring people. The problem is getting them to stick around once they sign up. There is a definite learning curve before becoming a PO degen. And it took me a few months to figure out that this site was definitely worth my time. I was on the fence for awhile.
I agree Cloudy, I signed up a long time ago, but was so confused, I stopped trying to figure it out. I did come back a few months ago and was determined to figure things out this go around. I'm glad I did. But I also think that maybe some don't stick around because of the reception they're getting at the tables from the players who think they can tell them how to play. Maybe put a muzzle on them and the new players may stick around.
I referred as many as I could, most my friend rather make a deposit then have to do surveys :(
