I have a 95 page business plan on this so it will take some hard work to make this a summary. I won't get into the mechanics of it but just the basic idea. GamerThumbs.com -- The Mass Multiplayer Console Tourney Network - Great gaming domain huh? (The site up there is something my partner put up just to get something up and have the url in the search engines with some content) Almost done with the custom programming of the site (went outside the realm of php for this one). It will be a site similar to Video Game Tournaments at GamerSaloon.com. The major difference with ours and gamersaloon is multiple player matches. Gamer Saloon offers heads up matches only. There will be affiliate programs, freerolls, etc. It will start off with beta testing (hopefully by January). We will be giving all beta member $10 free dollars in their account. Limiting the beta-testers and ultimately starting the testing when we get 200 members. (I will make a separate post letting those know who's interested when they can sign up). Basically, we make our money off of registration fees which is all set up. (during beta testing, registration fees will not exist). Eventually, we plan on adding sections for reviews, guides, cheats, etc. The still will have a community forum as well and hopefully overtaking any current gaming site out there. (coming for ya IGN and GameFaqs )You pretty much bet on video games in multiplayer tournaments from $5 tournaments to $500+. Entry fees are based on dollar value of tournament. (those of you that play online poker will be familiar with this). Ideas, thoughts, suggestions??? | ||||

(and for you PS lovers, this will only be for XBox - sponsorship reasonings) | ||||

Pretty much for the first year it will be non profit. Any money made on entry fees will be put back into freerolls and give aways. We plan on getting users with the niche of the site then adding the other features to make it the one stop shop. | ||||

Minimum entry fee would be $1, most people will play a couple tournaments. Easily putting $75K to $100k of entry fees (DAILY!). Online poker sites make this in an hour. It's not considered gambling with video games thus the legality. I would be happy with 2k a day lol. | ||||

Then they realize everything the other sites have, you have right there. That's the goal. | ||||
