    Do sportsbook points count against you 5K max for non pro?

    Hey guys I don't like the going pro option for US players at the moment and am holding off hoping they will change soon. But I am getting close to my 5K max that I can take with me. I already have a bunch of points stashed at poker that I'm not rolling over but I still keep on getting points. If I transfer them to sportsbook\casino will this "hide" them from the system?

    I signed up for all the football contest to use up points don't just want to waste them and blow them in the casino though.
    Points Awarded:

    phillybadboy gave DJ Dalamar 1 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    Takes 4672 points to get $200 in gift cards. Even if you got Target cards and used them for groceries, it is break even at this point and then you get pro points and don't have to worry about how many points you have. SBR will see your points in the sportsbook. Interesting question that I have not yet seen raised about rollover points. That may make it even more beneficial for you to go pro now.

    So you are basically asking (on SBRforum) if its possible to cheat SBR?

    And people wonder why SBR is giving freeplays in trivia/BTP/poker rollover

    you should go pro now because with "beat the prick", "betislands contest", and poker you aew going to get a lot of points. If u are non pro these points mean nothing. just do it.

    Obviously I don't see it as "cheating" SBR or I wouldn't have asked. In fact quite the opposite trying to keep myself from losing any points while SBR works on getting options for US players.

    Just pony up the $200 and be done with it. YOu can turn right around, get your money back in giftcards and have a whole year to accru additional benefits.

    Why did you not go pro when there were other options?

    I was about to then the whole BigBlue controversy happen and I wasn't sure about SBR. Literally like a day before I was about to sign up. Then I go to sign up through Daily Joust and no options.

    I'm still not happy that they didn't warn us before they removed EVERY option available. Was pretty dumb move as far as I'm concerned right before BTP and football. And I still don't buy the "verify ID" excuse as to why you can't use points go pro first time. I can easily give the Charity org a fake name.

    So I'm still not sure on a lot of things and just want some more time to see how things shake out. I laid some NFL futures bet and laid another 200 on "other then Obama" bet to give myself some more time.
