Dear Friends,

RGE is growing and now, as always, we value your input into our products, services, and overall direction. Hell, I can?t even choose a shirt or use the official RGE men?s lavatory without wondering if our customers and visitors would approve. That?s just how much your opinion matters to RGE and me.

Below is a very short survey about potential new AdvantagePlayer.com services and the RGE product catalog. Please take a minute to either reply to it on the forum, or cut and paste it into an email to me at [email protected]. We appreciate and will consider any and all contributions, but anyone who fills out the survey in full is welcome to a 15% discount on his or her full order provided it is placed by Friday July 16th at 11:59 p.m. Usual exclusions apply (sale items, subscription services, and one-of-a-kind items [e.g., signed BJA3]).

ADVANTAGEPLAYER.COM MEMBERSHIP

We are considering adding a new, moderately priced, site-wide subscription service simply called ?AdvantagePlayer.com Membership.? Assume that there would be price-breaks when purchased in conjunction with a game-specific service such as Don?s Domain. This subscription would include a package of services such as the following:
    [*]Your own @AdvantagePlayer.com Email Address[*]Your own Personal AdvantagePlayer.com Webpage[*]Forum Email Notification Subscriptions[*]The Viktor Vektor/Las Vegas Bettie[/list]

    @AdvantagePlayer.com Email Address

    1. On a scale of 1 to 10. how important would an @AdvantagePlayer.com Email Address be to you as an AdvantagePlayer.com Member?

    2. Would you be more likely to use your @AdvantagePlayer.com Email Address to email other AP.com members or non-members?

    3. Given your response to #2, would you rather use a standard clear text email service (similar to Hotmail.com) or an encrypted service (similar to Cryptomail.org or Hushmail.com), keeping in mind that an encrypted service would require higher subscription fees?

    4. On a per-month basis, considering your answer to #3, how much would this feature alone be worth to you?

    5. Do you have any other comments or suggestions regarding an @AdvantagePlayer.com Email Address service?

    Personal AdvantagePlayer.com Webpage

    1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how important would your own non-commercial Personal AdvantagePlayer.com Webpage be to you?

    2. If you had such a page, would you be more likely to put up AP-related content, or unrelated content pertaining to your other interests and/or yourself?

    3. On a scale of 1 to 10, how interested would you be in linking to the RGE catalog from your Personal AdvantagePlayer.com Webpage and earning 15% or more[this is quite a lot commission on sales? Note: This would be completely optional. Personal Webpages would be otherwise ad-free.

    4. On its own, how much would this feature be worth to you on a monthly basis?

    5. Do you have any other comments or suggestions on having your own Personal AdvantagePlayer.com Webpage?

    Email Forum Subscription

    1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how interested would you be in a service that would let you receive forum posts by email? You would have access to a control panel that would allow you to select which forums you are subscribed to, and to change your options anytime you wish.

    2. How much would you be willing to pay per month to receive such a service

    The Viktor Vektor Forums/Las Vegas Bettie

    1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how interested would you be in having access to the private Admin and Social forums (known as the Konsulate and the Waterkooler) currently available in Don?s Domain?

    2. Are there any other kinds of forums you would like to see added to a members-only area?

    3. On a scale of 1 to 10, how interesting do you find Bettie?s posts on Las Vegas Everything? And how would feel if we moved them into her own forum in the AdvantagePlayer.com Membership area?

    4. How much would you be willing to pay per month to have access to these forums?

    Summary

    1. How much total would you be willing to pay per month for all of the above services, considering just the ones of most importance to you?

    2. Finally, do you have any suggestions for other services that should be part of an AdvantagePlayer.com Membership?

    RGE PRODUCT CATALOG

    1. Try to name at least three books (currently in print) that are not in the RGE catalog but should be. Get a gold star for naming four or more.

    2. RGE also carries books of general interest to many gamblers such as books on privacy, ID, and magic. Considering your own interests, what kind of books would you like to see RGE carry that would complement the gambling aspects of our catalog?

    RGE PUBLISHING

    1. On what new topics would you like to see RGE publish books? Please be specific (e.g., ?blackjack team play? and not ?blackjack.?)

    2. On a scale of 1 to 10, how interested would you be in a new magazine that covers the entire gamut of advantage play, from blackjack to VP to sports betting to poker to roulette and beyond?

    3. Whom would you like to see most on the next cover of Tiger Beat Magazine, Viktor Nacht or Stanford Wong?
