MORE INFO ON ABET: conversation #2 with CEO $5 for the $5 Million jackpot, but with perhaps 5 free plays when you sign up and deposit a minimum amount like $25 or $50. That actually means up to 10 plays for $25. Plus they will likely award free plays for just 2 of 6 numbers. Also a $1 bet for a lesser jackpot (say $1 mil) may be offered. They will be soliciting opinion when the public beta is started. This company seems very serious and dedicated about making this work long term. This will be seeking a week or two of worldwide opinion before going live, which is really smart to make the game as popular as it can be right off the bat. Plus customer service will be superb. That is a key part of the business plan. Profit margin is designed to be 45%, something which they can control and the good thing is that 5% of more can still go to charities and maintain that high profit margin. Pretty good strategy I would say, and the free play games to win prizes will certainly attract lots of players to this site and more advertisers and advertising revenue in the North American market. I await the next phase: public beta testing...soon
