The idea is most people will then bet that £30 so chances are they get all the money back.
A better way for porn sites would be to get people to join the site for free, then try to get them to join.
One porn site has given away VR goggles for free [ LINK]. It will be interesting how they use this. Will they use the database to attract new customers (one presumes the problem is people under 18 will be getting them).
But if sites could get people to sign up for something (say a free gift or access to a small part of the site) this should result in more people becoming paid members. |
Interesting...but I do not think the gambling model fits with adult too well IMHO. The gambling model relies on the person who is "addicted" to gambling. Such a person will make future bets which will cost him money. Where as in adult, the reliance is on a person wanting to masturbate. Using the limited membership model, that person can keep fulfilling his need for free. Unless the surfer is infatuated with a solo model, then I can see how a free limited version will likely result in a full membership. But then again, if the surfer is infatuated with a solo model, then that surfer is likely to signup for a full membership regardless. |
