    what to do with 8k points?

    So i recently won 1500 fp points and turned them to almost 10k points in few days. Now im starting to think what to do with these points? I realized there's nothing much i can do, because I'm a nonpro.
    Few days ago i placed huge bet and lost all my money. Now i need to get some money back as soon as possible. But i can't even make $200 deposit to get a pro membership.


    So do you guys have any ideas or suggestions how can i get some money from these points, even if I'm a nonpro?

    You're in a quandary. If I remember right, if you became a pro, they will only recognize 2500 of those points.

    SBR really only recognizes 2500 points? Thought it was 5K.

    I would spite SBR by losing 5000 points in poker to someone. Not chip dumping, just play like an idiot and go all in with garbage. No rules against that.

    Try talking to sbr about donating all your points to charity, it should be well over the 200 dollars. Then because you donated 200 dollars to a charity they should make you a pro because i believe that is an option to become a pro

    They own the website and make the rules. That gives them the right. They've been taking a lot away from members recently... it is our job as users to leave when they take away too much. Obviously no one is leaving because they are taking away more and more every day it seems.

    I don't think this is going to work, because when i click on become a pro button, the only option there is to use one of their sponsors offer

    Sounds unbelievable. I won these points in sportsbook, why on earth they would confiscate ~70% of my bankroll? It doesn't make any sense

    Well, I'm not going to tell you that you could have managed this better, because I think you already know this.

    Now the only reasonable course of action is: 1. Order 6 sbr hats. 2. Find 200 bucks. 3. Become PRO.

    Then you have 5000 points you can actually use and 6 hats. It's better than the present situation, where you actually have nothing.

    There used to be so many posters buying and sellings points to each other in the chat room when they first came out. No clue what to do with them now.

    You won these points at the risk of nothing.

    That's the ultimate freeroll.

    They are still willing to give you 5,000 points, just for making a paltry $200 donation to something. Pony up some cash and reap the benefits of elite status of becoming a pro.

    Is selling points frowned upon now?

    u can only get 1 hat as a non pro.. so that is 2-300 pts.. the rest if u want to convert to cash u have this option even as a non pro and outside usa.

    buy pts with money bookers.. even a little.. then u have the option of selling pts back to sbr for moneybookers cash.

    if u are in the USA then u can never convert pts to cash at all anyway.. but if u wanna use the pts in the store.. yes the max u can transfer last updated was 5k total.... however they no longer have that rule posted. so u may want to email gopro@sbrforum.com to ask them



    gl bud and regardless if u lose some of the pts when becoming pro.. u have still made 5k pts which converts to 23- 15$ pizza gift cards or roughly 200-300$ in sbr merchandise/gift cards

    Thanks Stash, that's exactly what i need. But are you sure it's still possible to purchase points with moneybookers? Because i can't find this option anywhere. Should it be near SBR store shopping cart?
