Frugal Gambler Site Update 1.1

Hello Frugal Gamblers! It's been a wild week since we officially launched. We've added another 200 members to our community and you all have collected just about $3,500 in free spins so far. So I salute you FOFG (friends of the frugal gambler)! On my end I made good on my promise to add more casinos, adding support for another 18 that provide daily login bonuses. I've still got more on my list to work through, verify and provide support for but I'm going to add about another 10 next week. I also just released update 1.1 of the website with a focus on mobile usability and speed, while also deploying the basis for our user profile system. Don't worry about customizing your profiles just yet, I'll be adding quite a few more features and making them more interactive next week. For those of you using your money feed daily you'll also notice the links open much faster now as I've moved processing to the background. Here's a rundown of the site changes in the 1.1 release:
- New mobile layout for the site to make it much easier to use and more "app like".
- Desktop menu enhanced to work much more fluidly
- First version of user profiles launched
- Improved money feed link opening speed so you can collect your bonuses faster
I'm still working on ways to make the bonus collection process even faster, especially for mobile users. I'm starting to hone in on two ideas I think have a lot of promise and I'll be planning to test them on the dev site in the coming weeks. The launch of our profile system is a preparatory step for two big features, social integrations (threaded commenting and gamification of the site) and coupon churning! Coupon churning is obviously a big one and something people have been asking for. If done correctly, it can help you go from making a couple hundred bucks a month to potentially thousands. I'm going to crowd source this aspect of the site and you all will get rewards for successful coupon notifications. I'll be starting to deploy additional content articles about the strategy I use to manage money and maximize earnings on all the casinos and we'll be partnering with some experts at different games to integrate them into the site. One more thing to note is I'm going to deploy some limited advertising spots across the site. Right now I'm just barely covering hosting costs and I'd like to start building up a budget for marketing and to bring in a developer to take over the core development of the site from me to speed up releases. It won't be anything too intrusive and you should barely notice it. I'm proud of the work I've done so far but with a dedicated developer we can really grow this community to the moooooon! I'm really pleased with the progress and reception we've gotten for the site. At this pace we'll be at our first thousand users in no time! As always Frugal Gamblers, happy spinning!
