GPWA TIMES February 6, 2013
Announcements
Latest GPWA Times Magazine available at ICE, LAC
In our latest cover story, Lorien Pilling says that consolidation is the name of the game, and that being more corporate doesn't necessarily mean being better. He then discusses some of the "growing pains" affiliates will have to endure as a result of the current flurry of mergers and acquisitions. And if you didn't make it to London, you can see the complete issue online now in our new flip book format!

Question-of-the-week
Will Governor Christie approve or veto online gaming in the state of New Jersey?
The deadline for Governor Christie to decide on the internet gaming bill on his desk is Thursday, February 7, 2013. But just one day away from that deadline, Christie still has not shown his hand. Do you think he will veto or sign the bill, or do you think he conditionally veto portions of the bill, or fail to take any action, which will also result in the bill becoming law? View poll

It's been suggested to me by a certain bookie that I send users to the home page rather that the signup page (they say that's bad for user experience), but due to their session cookie policy, I'm skeptical that they're telling me the truth on this. What have you found to be the best type of landing page to send your traffic to? read more
