Svenska Spel – Annoying pop-up

annoying

I always get annoyed when something interupts what I am doing. Recently when I was at Svenska Spel and their bingo I got a pop up while trying to buy bingo tickets for the next round.

I was selecting tickets when a pop up alert saying “It is 30 seconds until the game starts. Don’t forget to buy tickets. Good luck!”. But WHY did I get the pop up when I was already on my way to buy tickets? On top of that I had to click on the little “OK” button to close it. And it took me a few seconds so I missed the chance to buy tickets in time. And after that I left not having played any rounds of bingo.

Not showing an alert would be a much better solution. The system could insted instruct a new player how to buy tickets, a player who have bought tickets many times do not need instructions.

    Hmm SvS bingo is developed by Nyx… Ex Boss people? Am I right?

    Yes I believe that NYX Interactive has staff who previously worked at Boss Media.

    Very interesting! I guess that the reason behind it to try to increase the number of users that play…but the design instead could make me miss a game…ahhh the irony of it!
