    Can a USA resident buy anything from SBR store?

    It tells me to buy something in green and I dont see anything in green.

    Not much you can buy unless you are a pro.

    No. Nothing. I have been playing poker and in the SB trying to accumulate points because it says many nice gift cards are for US citizens only. So if pros cannot buy the gift cards and US citizens cannot buy them, who can purchase a wal mart gift card?

    SBR US resident pros can buy a plethora of items. You're not a pro, you can't buy shit, Ace.

    Yes they absolutely can. The ways to become one have changed, and as a result really are a pain in the ass. After my pro membership runs out I probably wont reup due to not being able to deposit in a book to qualify.

    Yeah, if they had $200 to charity I would join in a second. The only thing offered that I could actually use is a purchase at Amazon but I clicked on it and it says I have to make a ......

    $2750 Purchase. LOL, WTF....

    SBR keeps saying that they are going to bring the charity option back. Seems to be all talk tho.

    Ok I see now. A while back I was falsely told that US citizens couldn't become pro here anymore.

    The $200 deposit into a book was taken away not too long ago. To become a pro - for a US citizen, it is absolutely insane.

    I got my pro membership by putting $200 in 5dimes. Can't do that anymore if I wanted to.

    I think they extended most of us an extra year in the hopes the U.S. does something different with the online gambling laws.

    I donated to a charity for the hell of it. They should bring that back at least.
