AlaskanDame:I think it's because most new players are mobile and don't see this forum --- also no advertisement of it from wgt, which I think has occurred in recent years.
Kind of surprised to not see WGT advertise it, since they benefit directly from every credit spent.
It's nice to see the requests (so far) have been more modest than in years past. Fewer people asking for top end drivers and iron sets and more people asking for sleeves of balls. And, even better, people asking for gifts to be sent to friends instead of asking for themselves.
