    I have 25,000 betpoints...what can I do with them?

    I tried to go pro but SBR denied my application because I opened the account in November but my first deposit was not until a couple weeks ago. They said the length of time was too long.

    So what are my options for getting value out of my 25,000 betpoints???

    I want to turn my betpoints into !!!

    So where you hiding this 25k? Obviously not in your pts wallet & don't see any in your sportsbook. You opened account in October, 2.5 years ago. Even if you had 25k & SBR accepted your application, you would only get to keep 3k. For non pros to run up a balance over 3k makes no sense.
    Points Awarded:

    lecubs28 gave bobbywaves 1 Betpoint(s) for this post.

    You're fuked.

    when you go pro you can only keep 3000.

    so 23000 go down the toilet.

    I know somebody who would lick your arse and be your slave for a year for those points. He's banned at the moment but will probably be back soon.....

    It seems now I can't award points to others either.

    So what else can I do with the points? Surely SBR must give me some options, right?

    You should be able to award/transfer (2) pts per day, so this is what you can do: Transfer me 2/day for the next 32 years, or as much time necessary to reach a 3,000 balance. At that time go pro, I will then promptly transfer all your pts back, minus a generous helper fee of 10%. Not sure if you're interested waiting approx 32 years. If so, double check with SBR to make sure this proposal is within their rules before transferring (2) daily.

    You can buy a shirt and a hat from the store, that's about it. SBR doesn't offer any more options for non-pros, presumably to limit their liability; if you want a chance to redeem points for stuff, you have to pony up some money first....wouldn't be much reason to go pro otherwise.

    If you're in the US, pay $100 to go pro and get a $100 gift card with what's left (or more in pizza), enjoy a free year of pro-dom...easy stuff.

    Bobby's offer shouldn't be against any SBR terms, but you will want to make sure you don't give bobby the points in certain threads (such as http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/betpoints/...l#post21699043); he seems to have a elective reading disability that prevents him from being able to see posts in certain threads such as that one, and he might not give you credit.

    Did you go pro? Don't know of any other reason they'd take them away.

    no i did not go pro. i asked for clarification via pm, because i signed up with two different sportsbooks using the go pro link. so i thought that maybe that would qualify me for pro status. but someone from sbr messaged me and said that i would not be eligible. and to avoid any confusion, they confiscated 23 thousand bet points and left me with 3 thousand.

    Really? I'm not really familiar with it, but I don't think it's SBR's policy to remove points just because you're not currently a pro, even though anything in excess of a tshirt and a hat are of no value to you as a non pro. Maybe I'm wrong and that's what they do? I dunno

    Just go pro and start blasting to get thousands of points you can actually get tangible items for.

    My suggestion in post #10, would have been a little better than 23.5k confiscated.

    If you go PRO with 3000 bet points or book account

    any accumulation over 3000 will be reset or if opening book account, ALL bet points will be set to zero

    Only expired pro members can renew with 3000 points

    That's the contract


    I guess you people are illiterate.........

    Pauly ... he is NOT a pro, check his status. He applied and was refused and therefore is still non-pro but sans 23k

    No matter whether his application was denied or not

    either way, those points are worthless

    so confiscating the points does not matter, now does it?

    He could get a hat or T-shirt though if he did not already.........

    I never said there was or wasn't a point in confiscating them, just odd how it went down ...
