Idea for future source of revenue

[FairCasinos]

FairCasinos.com joined the referback.com affiliate deal. They provided quite a lot of the graphics to the site (they have good webmaster resources) although we designed the layout. In the near future we want to get away from these sort of deals so I'm proposing an idea that may be workable and want to hear any comments from players and casinos.

It would work like this:

Forum members vote for casinos in various categories. We won't accept votes from forum members who are just shills for the casinos (we may be able to detect this from IP addresses or other means). We also don't allow inducements to players from casinos to persuade players to vote for them. We could use the built-in forum polling facility but it isn't very scientific because you can view the current results before you vote. I've got some software I wrote over a year ago that may be of use because it includes a good voting facility which I could extract from it. It was to be part of InsuredCasinos.com until new regulations made that project unfeasible.

I've uploaded the AVI movie of a demo of the software if you're interested (the voting part is also shown): www.faircasinos.com/insuredcasinos.avi

The voting would take place at least every two weeks. The top three casinos in each category could pay a smallish fee (such as $40). This way the best casinos are promoted and help with the site's revenue but at the same time FairCasinos.com can't be accused of being biased towards the casinos being promoted, since they are chosen by the forum members. Half of all revenue is given away in the prize draw. Extra entries may be awarded for voting, to encourage it.

Any casinos that might be interested in taking part, please contact admin@faircasinos.com with 'Polls' in the subject line so we have some idea of the numbers. We need quite a lot of casinos to take part.

im not sure about the voting part but the demo I seen with that records all transactions is something I would be very intrested in I use several methods to purchase. what would be neat is to figure out while playing what the cashout is on a bonus because of wagering requirements there is no way for me to keep track i would have to record every single time I bet
or made a spin on a slot and to figure out that is impossible to me.
I really need a way to keep all my transactions together so I know how much Ive spent.

I like the sound of the idea. The advantage is the votes would be given based on our real feelingso on a particular casino versus what they will give us for the vote.

I think you should pursue it, the casino might actually see the benifit of an independant vote source othere tham gambling.com etc.

I have a hard time trying to figure out while playing what the cashout is on a bonus because of wagering requirements, I have yet to cashout still
trying though. I would like to see something like this vote and all.
