Members of the site lay down say a £2 stake which is fixed every week (via paypal etc) which obviously means work for you mods to make that possible using this website...anyway, the money is then used to purchase as many lucky dips as possible, any winnings that result from this are then shared equally amongst the punters....
But, here is the beneficial bit for Shrimperzone Ltd...
A minimum returns cap is put in place, which is decided weekly, by the amount of punters that have parted with their hard earned...
For example say 100 members have put in their £2 for that week, then for the punters to get a decent return (im thinking £50 each) we would have to scoop £5000 for that particular week...
Any prize less than the £5000 (or £50 minimum returns cap, depending on number of entrants) goes into the Shrimperzone Ltd kitty....
Obviously you mods can decide on what you think would be a decent minimum returns cap, I was just thinking £50 would be a good figure to start at, anything less than a £50 win I personally wouldnt be that bothered about, although I wouldn't say no of course!... but the cap can be decided by a vote across this board...
Apologies if I haven't explained this idea a bit more clearly, getting ideas from my brain on to paper (or websites) isn't one of my plus points!!...
Thoughts?...
