    That was put in there new a while back and I am pretty sure it used to be 3x rollover.

    Cheers!

    Rollover has been 5x on sportsbook cash for ages. For more than a year that I can be sure of.

    There is no mention of having to make a $50 book deposit before buying SB cash among the conditions on any order page I've noticed since 1st january.

    It's mentioned on the $70 cash but not the $140.

    Ah thankyou... was about to go check again as I did look for that rule I'd heard mention of. Wonder if it counts for $140 packs. That's all i buy.

    Not really a biggie. $50 out of pocket isn't much for the return if you haven't deposited in that book before anyway.

    The more SBR restricts outlay to real punters the better than can make it. Remember how cool it was to start with? It still would be more like that if it cost people a deposit to buy it to start with.

    Hopefully with all the points diverted into sportsbook cash, they will make a lot more affiliate income from it and be able to raise the $1000 per book limit for us real punters. ;-)

    That's the one I was looking at because its the only one I signed up with through sbr, I'm guessing its a typo.

    I'd take a guess it is being updated and they all will have the condition mentioned soon.

    sportsbook cash is the only thing i wanted but sucks for users from canada who could get other things.

    this 5 x rollover is ridiculous when a few months back you could just buy straight up moneybookers cash.

    i dunno why they are taking away stufff for international users and am saddened by it. what really sucks is the only sports book that i havent joined through an sbr link is just bet. JUST BET. what a shitty book. why can't i make a 50 dollar deposit and get cash from any sports book like 5 dimes. what really sucks is people like katstale who is an old time gambler and joined every book before sbr. he can buy absolutely NOTHING from the store. i can only buy just bet cash. this is ridiculous. beer you a member at every book ? if not i guess just deposit at a book you havent signed up at yet and at least you can buy some cash to play poker .


    it used to be all i needed to do was be pro and buy 5dimes cash with the pts i had . i didnt mind the roll over. this 50 dollar bullshit is another slap in the face when you spend 200 bucks to go pro anyway.

    allow us to buy cash from any sports book this is bullshit . and whose to say just bet wont give me crap to withdraw after i deposit 50 dollars and 5 x rollover my sbr cash. ive never played there before. i dont know what to expect. sigh.

    Shari,

    I respect you and the SBR team so take this as respectfully as I intend.

    The fact that it was "discovered", reported and then partially responded (buried in the thread) to by Bill Dozer does not address this issue.

    Besides the fact that I am really disappointed that most of the reason why I have been a solid and positive supporter of SBR is because I can enjoy and support this site while getting some nice stuff occasionally has now been removed, my main beef is really that this is sudden, arbitrary and unannounced by SBR.

    If there was one sticky thread (locked if you don't want comments in it) that announced the change and the reasons, I would be more respectful of this change. I understand there are business realities hitting SBR and I guess things have to change.

    In the response I saw from Bill Dozer (I think to K13), he quoted reasons like shipping to Eastern Europe was costing a lot of money for shipping and that people who are not active on the forum were just here to freeload. Selfishly I would point out that shipping to Canada is just as expensive as it is to some locations in the US, so why not add some reasonable uplift in cost as it relates to shipping costs if that is a real issue? Secondly, I know of a number of Canadians and others in this forum that are not lurkers and freeloaders, why not address this issue via a different mechanism (like actual posts and content like it used to be)?

    I will get off my soapbox but as I have said, this is really sudden, arbitrary and poorly communicated and I am dissappointed in a site that I have really come to cherish over the couple of years I have been here.

    Oh and moving it to the Points subforum seems surprising when Sam announces to (US-Only) SBR community in the Player Talk forum about new cool stuff in the store that is now available.....to US folks.

    That is why I posted my thread in Players Talk.
    Points Awarded:

    BiTeMe UsAdOj gave BeerDog99 4 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    I guess its easier to just dump the tread in the points sub forum and forget about it.

    Yes Al that was it.

    BeerDog - Those are decisions made by Admin so they're the only ones who can answer those questions for you. I don't mind taking the blame for anything and everything and being the person who bears the brunt of it when posters get upset about whatever... I'm the staff member most people see posting here (although that's going to change soon) and I'm aware of what that entails. But most of the time I'm either not involved in a specific situation or it's policy stuff that is solely left to Admin. Personally I've only ever purchased 2 iPads and donations from the Store. I've never even considered buying sportsbook cash. When I want to bet, I have money in my account. If it's not funded, I make a deposit. I guess I'm oldschool in that if I don't have money to gamble without relying on bonuses, an Internet forum Points Store or freeplays then I feel I shouldn't be gambling. However seeing the uproar that happened after sportsbook cash was no longer an option for US residents and the calculations people made about how it was by far the best deal, I realise that the option we do have as non US residents is the best one of all so I intend to make use of it now properly.

    My only familiarity with Fanduel was there always seemed to be a problem with posters receiving Fanduel cash in a timely fashion, to the point that timeframes were getting way blown out. I don't know the specifics of why they were removed but again Admin would be able to answer that for you. Maybe send one of them a PM.

    Shari, thanks for the response. I was not blaming you nor was I really blaming SBR "admin", I was stating that I am disappointed by the changes made and much more disappointed in how it transpired.

    I have never been one for hidden PM conversations so I have not PM'ed the SBR "admin", I just would have expected this to be handled differently and expressed my viewpoint.

    There are a few things I'd like to see changed but I often wonder if it's just because I'm a female and prefer things organised and simple. Needless to say, the policies aren't going to be changed any time soon so I guess the best thing to do is to look on the bright side ie we have the option that the US residents still are upset about no longer having. I'm sure there's a term for that in psych. I can't do sweet p all about any of this but I do get where you're coming from. As much as you might not like the PM option, often that's the best way to get a good conversation going with those who can actually give you definitive responses when there are multiple threads about the same topic.

    i dont agree with this shari. i put aside 1/12 of my salary for gambling every january. i used to lose it by super bowl time in the beginning , going on tilt in the australian open and nfl playoffs. now i have learned discipline (with real money mind you) and usually extend that money until the US open , but once i lose that money i do not bet any more real money until the following january. what is wrong with relying on freeplays and sports cash to keep the action going the rest of the year. that has nothing to do with should or shouldnt be gambling . i bet what i can lose and once i bust i rely on sports cash and freeplays. you never win in gambling (except for a few keen minds) and i expect to bust my few thousand sometime during the year.

    anyhow if this policy change is here to stay so be it. i have the utmost respect for Lou and you which is one of the reasons i stay on this forum and of course the sbr poker
