My comment to Chris as to whether people will pay to play online games of skill is yes they will and they do already. Take a look at the statistics from WorldWinner.com. Their members play 650,000 games a day (which is almost 8 games per second) and they spend an average of $1.65 per play.

uVme not designed for the student “gamer” market so there’s no point making comparisons with Xbox etc but for the affluent middle aged plus market who have time and money at home to play a few puzzle challenges, sports game, board games etc. with an average game time of around 3 minutes. And of course, whilst the entry fee may be (say) $1.65 per play, that is not the cost of playing, because if you are of average ability you will win 50% of your games which will mean you will win cash too – so your average loss would be the game rake fee (25% on King.com and others). i.e. the “Payout” averages 75% with a 25% rake.

I do believe uVme have a USP (Unique Selling Point) – take a closer look at the 28 page insiders report, especially at the screenshot images – you will see things on those images that make uVme different from King.com, pogo.com and worldwinner.com and in my opinion could give it the edge over these other game sites.

I do hope uVme launch the games sooner rather than later as this will answer a lot of the questions of the doubters. That said and as has been said here – there’s absolutely NO cost to pre-register and build a social/business network and make your decision at launch based on what your network does.

Also, when making your decision soley on cost of investment – a lot of people forget that profit is the thing to look for and profit is sales-cost of sales. Profit is the key, not the cost. I would prefer to make $1,000 a day with a cost of $200 a day than to make $700 a day with a “freebie”.
