The deposit minimum on FTP is $50...I'm sure it's been debated before but why so high? In my opinion they have the greatest array of scheduled tournaments and Sit N' Go's. Their interface is super clean and easy to navigate.
I get that they make more money off players if the min deposit is higher then most places. Most people deposit $50 and lose it at the tables. FTP rakes their share and they move onto the next customer.
It's not to keep the donkeys out cuz FTP has more then their fair share.
I just think if they lowered it to $10-$30 they would pull in a huge group of people who don't want to or can't deposit that much money. I realise some of you are thinking "If you can't afford to deposit $50 you probably shouldn't be playing." Well that's not the point. Plenty of people can deposit a twenty here or a twenty there for fun and if they lose it it's no big deal.
Over the years I would have deposited hundreds of dollars on there if it weren't so expensive. Instead, they get no money from me unless I win CC freerolls or some other sponsored freeroll. I think they're losing money doing this.
Thoughts?
