You could always stop using them.
Agreed. Consider moving over to Bitcoin completely and using BitPay.
We tried bitpay before, wasn't that efficient. I'm sure they've changed since raising a bunch of money recently.
I'm liking coinbase for now though.

Bitcoins are accepted on the site now via coinbase. Paypal will no longer be a payment service we use.
Can you actually exchange $ to BTC's with bitpay?

Ok I have no knowledge of programming, but when you register for the website the username and password appear in plain text in the URL. That doesn't sound like the most secure way to do it...

My tetris addiction has just grown exponentially 
Did anybody just say "Tetris"??
My tetris addiction has just grown exponentially
Go on a streak. 
Pretty cool. About to give it a shot now.
Folks shouldn't get intimidated by the top score. Keep in mind even if you don't have the top score, you'll make money as long as you are on the leaderboard. So you could have the 3rd or 4th highest score and still make money.
This.
Come out and play.
It's fun.
I have a suggestion for the site. I think you should merge the bonzai games and the regular win-streak games. As it is now, if you score a very high score in a win streak game, people will get scared away from playing that game, since they probably wont be able to beat the score, and if they do beat the score, then even fewer people will play it and they wont make any money anyway. On the other hand, the bonzai games always rewards a high score, since you will get the money when the time expires, but the starting pot is too low to make it lucrative for the players. I realize you can't have many dollars in the starting pot each hour. My suggestion is therefore that you change the games so that you win the prize in one of the ways; either if you reach the win streak, or if you are number one when the time expires (for example after a week). That way the players wont be scared away, since they will have a better chance of winning the gifts.

Edit: Also, I liked the free games with prizes a lot. You should do more of those. To really make your site better you need more customers/players, and this might be a good way, as well as my suggestion above.

Good idea. As the site grows the starting pot for bonsia games will get higher. Otherwise it will just be one or two people playing to win the $5 or $10 starting pot.

Well the flaw in your idea is that also in the Bonzai Games, if you set a highscore that's the highscore to beat for everyone that plays after you until the timer runs out. It just isn't properly updated on the fron page display. So even if you combine both modes it doesn't change the fact that as soon as someone sets a high highscore you have to beat that score in order to get anything.
But you are right the site needs more players, and I agree that high highscores will scare people away, when they can't get close to that score in free play.
This is why I posted my strategy for tetris on the site's forum.

Two new games added to Gamerholic. This Pocket Rocket one is pretty dam addictive, http://www.gamerholic.com/pocketRocket/play.php?game_id=82

Nice to see it growing. Pocket rocket is a nice mixture of Snake and Tron, but kind of hard, I will need a lot of practice.
Wcave is one of those "fly something through a cave" games, press a button to fly up release button to go down, dodge obstacles. In this instance it's a string of 7 dots. It has a nice minimalistic look.
