Focusing on attracting ROW deposits is money down the drain,Why would any ROW player put money on lock , and be unable to pull it off immediately should they wish ,when they can put it on stars,FTP large ipoker sportsbooks,party etc and get it straight off with no worries. Until you sort the backlog you have no chance of this happening , and if you do clear the backlog , players will probably be thinking that the risk of a new backlog may still make it too risky.
I'm not a lock player , never had an account but having been caught as a euro player in the FTP saga, my experiences with wondering whether my FTP money would be returned post black friday shape my views that i put in the previous paragraph. I am one of those players that you say that you want to recruit. Use this as feedback on the plan, it isn't going to help you .
That US players haven't received their FTP money yet stinks , The stars takeover deal should have made Stars responsible for refunding US players their account balances and once the payments made , the seized funds to cover those payments returned to Stars. It would have been the cheapest and quickest way of getting the us players money back to them.
The Ipoker sportsbooks can attract deposits easily with onsite advertising on their sportsbook site and in shop advertising in their betting shops. You don't have that infrastructure to start with.

The other obvious reason some rooms do better is volume, the processing limits that we run into aren't a problem for a tiny room as they aren't processing enough to hit their limits.
Which leaves us with 2 important weaknesses we needed to address, securing better processing volumes and diversifying our acquisition markets. We have made huge strides in the first and continue to work on the second.
making huge strides towards making a tiny room that isn't processing enough to hit your limits probably isn't going to help with the backlog though
