Duh, I should have set this up right away. Let's vote!!

I am blown away by the poll... it is an excellent idea, it is also really useful for all of us working in marketing and researching the industry at the moment.

Thanks jetset for the idea and casino meister for setting it up....

By the way guys, if any of you out there see any particularly good casino newsletters, please let me know, any examples of good work are of great interest to me.

once again thanks

**This is the PERFECT oportunity for everyone to finally have a say about what matters. As we all know, there are many reps who watch this board, and if ONLY ONE pay attention to this thread, then you have made a difference.
Zarathustra - My compliments to you as a first time poster. At least you did not wait for something to go wrong first!
Jetset... I add my voice to yours!
And again, thanks Bryan! THIS is the stuff that makes the industry tick!
I hope that everyone who ever complained about a newsletter will contribute to this thread... and I do hope that those who don't won't ever complain again! hehehe.. **

Just a tidbit to pass along...

I receive Grand Hotel's newsletter with Archie's challenge every week and lots of good info in it and I DO READ IT all the way through.

This is the one and only one I read, cause I like the challenges Archie gives (I won too, and had my money in my account in a flash!) and all the info it has on whats happenning.

Thought this might be of interest.

**Sylc shure. **

Too funny Petunia!

I actually got 2nd place ($50) this week in the game of Archie's seaching for the answer. Really do enjoy thier weekly games in the newsletter.

**Sylc, which brings me to another 'issue'. I like doing games, puzzles and the such (yeah yeah yeah, bored housewife, I know) ... Would you say it is the challenge of the game, the bonus or both that keeps you happy - or the content of the newsletter. I personally read Archie every so often... *grin* and since i don't care for the bonus or 'prizes' (as i am not into wagering requirements etc) I do read the content of the letter.. and have always wondered if ANYONE really wins! Good to see that you did! There are a few more letters from this group that I do enjoy though, but I guess it is all a matter of personal taste! Should the casinos have more interactive things too? Like Fortune Lounge's 'coffee break' editions? I LOVE those... **

Have to say I am in love with that poll you have set up... every morning I am checking up to see how many people have voted. So far the results are as one would expect, Bonuses are the biggest attraction!!!

But the stats speak for themselves so I suppose I need not go into an in depth commentary... all I can say is come on guys and gals on the casinomeister forum vote vote vote and let the industry know what you think and want from it in terms of newsletter based entertainment.

Once again to everyone out there who has voted so far thanks... this is all fascinating and inspiring stuff!!!

Hmmm...I've heard about them.

Sometimes when I'm away, Vortran takes the helm, and he includes weird links and things. And being the ex-professor (that I am), I have a reading assignment lined up when I come back to ensure that my dedicated readers are doing just that: paying attention and reading the newsletter.

Readers who submit the correct answers are awarded cash prizes or whatnots.

Here is an example of Vortran's newsletter:
