"Investing" in the house was generally too slow and boring for gamblers to consider. They are used to being able to double (or lose) their stake in a fraction of a second. By being part of the bankroll they get to make a 1% return per week if they're lucky. The site ran for a year and made investors a total of just over 40% in that year.
