Comments on: Redesign in 20 minutes (7) – Betfair’s sign up form http://www.use.se/index.php/2009/08/11/redesign-betfair/ the igaming & user experience blog by Staffan Schroder Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:39:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: Cory http://www.use.se/index.php/2009/08/11/redesign-betfair/comment-page-1/#comment-1671 Cory Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:27:45 +0000 http://www.use.se/?p=517#comment-1671 Hi Staffan, Logging in with email/password sounds like a great idea - I shifted all my usernames and passwords to an excel sheet so I could delete them out of my email for security reasons...then my laptop died and I've been wondering this same thing ever since. You've got a great blog - hopefully some of these companies start to take notice about how important usability is....or we could just build our own poker site - might be quicker! Cory Hi Staffan,

Thanks for your comment! I totally agree with you when it comes to only having to register when it is absolutely necessary and don't have the players fill out unnecessary information. Players should be able to watch tables and play for fun before they have to register. Maybe in the future you could use your Gmail account, Facebook account or something else. It is a real pain having so many different logins to all the sites you play on. Why not be able to just use one? /Staffan Hi Cory.

Or how about doing away with it altogether? Full Tilt allows you to observe tables without creating a login (although it seems they have recently redesigned their software to make this harder...the whole thing is awful). I don't see why players need to register until it's absolutely necessary ie. wanting to play. And even then play money players should only have to submit the absolute basics - was surprised that Betfair has the exact same form for their .net players when a simple username/password/email should suffice.
