Comment on Ask HN: A small reward to everyone who signs up vs. a big reward to the best 3?

Comments

I work at Zynga. If it's a cash/premium reward then you'll get the most sign ups for the biggest reward given to a few people. People consistently overcompensate for games of chance. The best is when they can take actions to increase their odds or tickets, like post on facebook, invite other people, etc.

And depending on what your reward is, I wouldn't be representing Zynga well if I didn't say you should test it. :-)

Hey, thanks.

Yes, its a premium reward. I am thinking of creating a bundle of useful resources like software licenses, ads space on top forums, etc.

The 'ability to take actions' point is a great one. I'll include that.

Would you mind telling me a bit more about the 'testing' part? I didnt quite get it =)
