    Need to add statement that USA members cannot go SBR Pro on the "Become A Pro" page

    I just now talked with Live Chat and they said that USA players cannot go SBR Pro any longer. I wasted my time signing up with Etoro/FX Solutions and depositing $250 with them in order to achieve Pro status. I already knew about the sportsbook option no longer available to USA players but I thought the Amazon, Etoro, subscriptions were alternative ways for USA players to become Pro. Apparently, not and this is not made clear on the Become A Pro signup page.

    Well, Etoro was right with all the other options. I chose Etoro as I have experience in trading. I talked with Jonelyn in Live Chat and she said there is no options at all for USA members to go SBR Pro sooo... I emailed Lou to find out for sure.

    Hey guys, I sent a pm to Shari and she want me to forward questions to this email address.

    I'm an US member looking at the Etoro option, is this a valid option for people in the US?Also on the Etoro website says that minimum account is for 250.00 but SBR states 200.00.Reason I need clarification is I ran into the below post and before I start shooting money everywhere just want to be sure. http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sbr-points...-pro-page.html

    Please advise and maybe comment to help out others.

    Thanks,

    I am waiting until I get confirmation from SBR Pro committee that I am in the right account before I start trading. I saw that my Etoro sign up went to EtoroUSA then EtoroUSA had me to fund the account through FX Solutions. So I am wondering if this is right before I do any trading. But so far, SBR has been strangely silent. I sent an email to gopro@sbrforum.com to try to find out the specifics of why my Pro application was declined. I thought it may have something to do with the Etoro to EtoroUSA to FX Solutions. And I have pm'd Lou but haven't heard from him yet. So , what is going on ????????

    Hi TheBettingMan - The timeframe for responses from the Pro email is 1-2 business days.

    Yes US members can become an SBR Pro provided they correctly follow each of the steps detailed in the application form.

    Well, that's good to know! Jonelyn told me in Live Chat last night that USA members are not able to go Pro at all. I think I need to trade $200 to attain Pro status but I need to know if I am in the right account and that is what I am waiting for an answer on from the Pro approvers.

    Sorry about the confusion. Yes you can absolutely go SBR Pro as a US user. Simply, you can use every method listed in the Pro application form.
