This is a good idea. Make a shorter game cycle, even with a lower
payout. On a 30 day cycle, you only need about 25 bets per week.

This is NOT a good idea, the player's 'investment' is their surfing
time, and the average attention span of a surfer is less than 10 seconds.
Players would not be 'qualified' viewers and would ignore the site
content. Your advertisers would not get their money's worth and would
eventually withdraw their support.

A better idea (MUCH BETTER) is to roll the prize over to the next cycle.
The incentive to play would be increased.

See above, it isn't really 'free' if I have to view advertising. I
would rather pay for a 'ticket' than spend time surfing through ads.
I live in California, USA, which has lotteries. The tickets sell for
$1.00, $2.00 or (I think) $5.00. This is cheaper than 1 AUG and more
people are willing to pay this price. You might get more players by
offering tickets for 0.100 AUG
Good Luck
