So this is going to increase the stickyness of a paysite.
Paul, we had a seminar on this topic at the XBIZ Miami show, you would have enjoyed it.

In my example, you don't win a baseball cap, you get membership-level access for free (you could pay for a membership to have full, instant access - or play to get it).

When Windows Solitaire first came out, I saw folks playing it for hours each day.

THAT is the kind of ADDICTION that I want my site's users to have.

Sure, it may only be a fraction of users that want this aspect, so it doesn't "get in the way" of regular use, but when Google and others increasingly value "time on site" as a ranking metric, the visitors that I have spending hours "playing" the site, skews the rank.

There's a LOT to this, and it's not just about taking your old pics and using them as face cards in a Flash poker game or some such, but there's many possibilites...
