We’re looking for community leaders

Calling all leaders!

We will be launching our B4Playing forums soon to further bring our large, and ever growing community, closer together. That being said we are looking for community leaders to help us run and monitor the forums.

B4Playing is much more than just a tool that personalizes the online gambling experiences of its users, we`re also an affiliate and gaming community that wants to bring our members closer together by allowing them the opportunity to express their opinions, concerns, and questions regarding their online gambling experiences, etc., on a user-friendly discussion board.

However, it is important for us to ensure that our forums are well maintained and monitored to ensure our rules are upheld and users have a safe and friendly environment in which they can express their views and read the views of others.

Although we could appoint one of our current team members to this task, we would much prefer to have our own users, and members of the B4Playing community take on the task and reap the benefits that go along with such a position.

Do you have what it takes to be a B4Playing community leader? If you are a B4Playing user, enjoy taking charge, have respect for rules, and are an active member in the online gambling world, and are interested in the opinions of others and starting discussion, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.

If you are interested in becoming a community leader or forum moderator for the B4Playing community, please contact us at www.b4playing.com/contact_us.html

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Itay

We are still growing fast…

This just in – B4Playing has 15,000 registered users and counting! More than 300 people are registering for the B4Playing tool and joining the B4Playing community daily.

It’s nice to see that so many online casino and poker tournaments players are ready to test B4Playing to find out if our tool can provide them with the link to the best, personal online gambling experience. We know our users won’t be disappointed in what our tool can do.

Each person that signs up to become a B4Playing user will enjoy excellent benefits such as no longer having to search for relevant gambling information. There are so many properties out there that it can feel next to impossible finding the right online casino or poker tournaments that suit your needs. The B4Playing tool not only finds the best sites based on the personal data you provide, but also classifies and filters the pertinent data and arranges it in the order you requested before delivering it directly to your desktop.

Once the information collected is placed on your desktop, all the user is required to do is click on the sites they are most interested in and they will be connected to the desired online casino and/or poker tournaments.

Being able to manage your online gambling experience puts you ahead of the average casino and poker player. For our users who favor the casino, B4Playig will provide you with a list of all the major online casino operators and select the best bonuses that suit your personal preference such as Progressive Slot Alerts, Exclusive Bonus Offers and Bonuses Optimization.

For our users who enjoy poker playing, B4Plaing will provide detailed data for all scheduled poker tournaments so you know about every event, and can choose the ones that interest you most. You will also be alerted of tournaments before they start so you don`t miss them.

B4Playing is all about having online gambling your way. It has been designed to personally accommodate every user regardless of their online casino or poker tournaments preference.

Once again, thank you to all of our users who have spread the word and helped us reach over 14,000 users in such a short period of time.

Please continue helping us grow the B4Playing community.

Are we dreaming or what?

We are busy developing our SEO positioning with search engines and specially Google, Yahoo and MSN since our website went live on May 1st.
Based on Google Analytics we have achieved in the last 25 days ( since June 1st) a conversion rate of 28.9%!!!!!!! Every 4th visitor register to participate in our beta program!
Are we so unique? Are we providing a solution the market is waiting for? Is our message so clear? Is there such a void that our solution fills? Is Google analytics not doing a proper job?
We are all anxious to see if our conversion rate will remain that high when the daily traffic grow to 1000s of daily visitors?

Come join our program and get our conversion rate to even a higher number!

B4Playing demonstrated its software at a closed focus group

B4playing has conducted a focus group with 35 professional casino and poker players. The meeting was held in London last Friday (June 22nd).
We used this meeting to show our alpha version for the first time to a closed group of potential users. Feedback was awesome and very valuable.

"You are the Google of the on-line operators" said few of the players. "We spend hours searching for relevant information in between the millions of results we get at the search engines. We can never be up to date with timing of tournaments, best bonuses available, and status of various progressive slots."

Some very useful feedback about our GUI and the data we provide was received and will be implemented prior to our official launch. We were asked to include all the leading operators in our program.

I feel that we are developing a tool which is much needed and will be massively used by online players. I cannot wait to our next focus group and the day we are going live.

We welcome you to visit our headquarters

Greetings fellow B4Playing users! Have you ever been to the lovely Isle of Man where our B4Playing headquarters is located?

The Isle of Man is situated in the Irish Sea between England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. It is part of the British Isles and is a unique self-governing kingdom. It functions completely independent from the United Kingdom and the European Union, and has its own laws, culture, traditions, and cuisine.

Although the Isle of Man only covers an area of 227 sq mi, and over 40% of the island is uninhibited, don’t let the size fool you. The Isle of Man also serves as a huge tourist attraction and is celebrated for its vitality, plenty of attractions and accommodations.

The capital of the Isle of Man is Douglas, and is where the majority of the action takes place. You can enjoy shopping, fine dinning, museums, a variety of international motor sports, water sports and golf, as well as the Douglas casino and film. In fact, the Isle of Man has become one of the busiest areas within the British Isles when it comes to film production.

The Isle of Man is also home to medieval castles, charming Victorian railways and trams, breathtaking parks and gardens, and, of course, B4Playing.

We invite our users, properties and affiliates to come and visit us in the Isle of Man. You won’t regret paying us a visit or experiencing the natural and unique beauty of one of the most exotic islands in the world.

If you would like to pay us a visit, please www.b4playing.com/contact_us.html

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Itay

Back from GIGSE and CAP spring break

We’re back from GIGSE and CAP spring break, and what a great time we had! We met many new faces, and were happy to see some familiar faces as well. We enjoyed meeting all of the B4Playing users, properties, and affiliates who attended the functions, but for those of you who were unable to attend, the following are brief highlights of some of the great things we saw:

GIGSE 2007 – This year’s GIGSE event gave us the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss the future of the I-Gaming industry. It was clear from the many speakers we saw that there are many significant changes occurring within the world of Internet Gaming. GIGSE allowed us to share our insights and learn about the best practices that benefit all in the I-Gaming industry. We also enjoyed the lovely and unique city of Montreal. I particularly enjoyed the food :)

Here is a list of three sessions we saw over the three day event -

The analysis of the Modern Gambling Industry – we learned about the challenges the online gambling industry is faced with today and future expectations for the business.

Case Study: Customer Service Initiatives – Strategies and Results- We explored how exceptional customer service has helped grow and develop the I-Gaming industry. We learned how all the different ways of communication (I.E. email, live chat and click-to-call) increases the satisfaction of customers, which, in turn reduces operation costs and makes for higher revenues.

Frontiers: Asia – Here and Now – We discovered the impact Asia is already beginning to have, and will have in the future as it becomes the next major marketplace for I-Gaming. We learned about many of the challenges and opportunities that exist in the Asian I-Gaming marketplace.


CAP Spring Break 2007
At CAP we were able to grow our network and established many new long lasting friendships among the top gaming affiliates & properties that participated and attended the convention. We also learned many new and exciting new details about some casino affiliate programs and had a great time in our Bahamas resort and even did a little sliding into the shark pool tunnel! The Atlantis is a great resort and with many attractions for the family - I recommend for each one of you do schedule a trip one day. Here are some pictures I made there:

Here is a list of three sessions we saw over the three day event –

International Domain Names – The Importance of international domain names in the global market were discussed.

Offshore Corporations and Banking – We learned why setting up an offshore corporation or banking is important for reducing legal exposure.

Panel Discussion – We joined the panel of experts who discussed ``The Road Ahead``. It was an interesting experience being able to participate with others in the discussion and having questions answered by the experts.

We would like to thank everyone who we met at the GIGSE convention & CAP Spring Break - we hope to see you again next year!

We have exciting news! B4Playing launched on May 1st and we are pleased to report that not only was our launch successful, but we have reached over 11,000 users in the first 45 days!

11,000 users greatly surpassed our original estimation of 5,000 users and we couldn’t be happier. It’s clear to us that many of our users have spread the word to their friends, relatives, colleagues and anyone who enjoys online gambling as much as they do.

Although we didn’t doubt the success of B4Playing, We’re pleased to see that so many online casino and poker players have taken an active interest in our tool in such a short time. With such an awesome turnout, we see a great future for B4Playing, as well as for our users.

The online gambling community is a huge industry filled with many online casinos and poker rooms for players to choose from. We’re delighted to help players find the properties that feature the best bonuses, games and tournaments that are most suited to their individual playing desires.

After all, your online gambling experience should be designed just the way you want it. There’s no reason why you should be frustrated searching thorough the multitude of online casinos and poker sites when you should be enjoying your free time by having fun gaming.
