Why would they only allow facebook and g+ accounts to sign up? Maybe I am missing a link somewhere that allows normal sign up process...

Personally I very rarely link services. I especially wouldn't feel comfortable linking a gambling service to a social media service.

We have used facebook and g+ accounts to sign up to drive a social gaming environment! I understand your concerns and we will be adding a normal sign up process in these next two days. We are considered games of skill opposed to gambling. Players are wagering on their own skill. To give a comparison: take the NYC Marathon. A runner will pay money to run and if he wins he receives prize money. He is placing a bet on himself.
