Non gambling ads...

Have they been making any money? Just curious...

Does it pay to click on them once in a while?

Not really, and No. They're generally commission-based, so only sales matter.

Are you forking out your own $$$ to run this place?

Non-US visitors still get casino ads, so I'm looking at "only" an 80% reduction in income from the site due to the new law.

But... Don't worry, the site isn't going anywhere. Expenses are low. Sales of books and software will keep us afloat, even in the absence of any advertising.

Of course, my time commitment is lower now, as I'm working on non-gambling sites to diversify.

Ever consider a pay, verified-player section, for sharing the hardcore info?

Hardcore info... now we're talking! Not a bad idea.

It would only work if it was Ken Smith who supplied the hardcore info becasue I can't imagine someone being motivated to sign up for a pay site to give out his hardcore info.

It would have to be real good info, you're right. Like if the real professionals would give out more information instead of the usual hush hush. But that wont happen, and making it "players only" wont work, because a casino employee could easily find a way in anyway.

Every "player-only" forum has been infiltrated.

I suspect

That most casino personnel are also players.:cry: It might go all the way to top management. It would be interesting to know what the percentage is.
