    So everything has been removed from the Store for Non-US?

    SBR_John?

    Just checking that I am not missing a simple explanation.

    Everything but Sportsbook cash has been removed from the SBR Store for non-US posters?

    I knew the prices went up all of sudden but I did not realize everything was taken away.

    So is this a temporary change or planned to be permanent for the foreseeable future?

    What a useful answer.

    If this is going to be an only-US site, then fine.

    This doesn't make sense. Maybe the costs of shipping is too high possibly. They need to do a better job of explaining this.

    It's exactly that, this guy is obviously dissatisfied because it was in the same thread that he admitted reading about price store increase. Apparently he can't PM or reply in that thread. You can also find my comment in that thread too( just not by me)

    Ya know Gambler, I try to stay out of the drama at SBR. I noticed two threads that had a price increase discussed and a thread that talked about missing sportsbook cash.

    When those threads had posted, I saw them and noted that the prices went up and it looked like there were changes being made. At first blush I just thought it was just that and I did not look more into the thread because there are usually a lot of complainers.

    I am just surprised that gift cards and the other non-sportsbook stuff has just been removed with no "official" notice that SBR is changing how it treats non-us posters.

    I am real sure they had to do some cutbacks since they lost a company or two. That is why they did a steep hike on the prices here too. I don't think as many people are playing that casino here and they probably are bracing for loss of pros because of the book going out of business. I don't think they are going to lose that many members though.

    They should still have gift cards. Send them regular mail. Can't cost more than a couple of bucks at most.

    There was a mention of a peculiar set of standards, where you can PM a mod or Sam, and depending on where you live outside of US, and the item you require, SBR will try to work with you. An exception on some cases such as giftcards, right? You don't need to mail them, you can either shop online or print it out. Good luck, but sportsbook cash is golden!

    Link does not work but I appreciate your effort. I did find the thread and read through it. Very disappointing. I can understand that shipping costs can be significant to outside of North America but not to Canada. (I am near Toronto, Ontario Canada).

    I think the special arrangements are for the SBR logo'ed gear. I already have a lot of SBR shirts... :-)

    Also, I understand the concern about lurking posters but I have been very active in Poker forum since I joined in 2010. I have been a very positive supporter of this site.

    Now that I see this looks to be the way of future here at SBR, I guess I will decide for myself how I proceed.

    In the end, I really wish SBR would just clearly announce changes in "sticky" posts so it is clear and understood by all. It all comes out in the end but it would save a lot of this finding out and guessing.

    Hi BD,

    Everything has been removed for us except for sportsbook cash,it sucks but it is what it is.(seems to be permanent)no mention of it returning.

    SBR gave official notice on how they will treat ALL their posters in the Betislands
    fiasco.

    Ya know, I don't think I ever stated a negative word about SBR but I guess you are pretty close to accurate Al.

    I would give that suggestion to the moderators here like Shari or Lou. They do need to explain themselves a little better. It wouldn't be a bad idea if the one that wants certain items could pay for the shipping themselves and be able to get it too.

    I wonder if these clueless Fuks are intentionally running this place into the ground and start fresh with new unsuspecting posters because it is quite evident that they don't give a fuk about long time loyal customers.

    As usual the silence from SBR honchos in this matter is deafening. Too busy counting the cash they stole during the BI fiasco.

    It sure makes you wonder does it? I don't seem to understand it much. Maybe they are having a lot of sharp posters and they might be getting hurt some by them.

    If it costs money to ship it overseas, why not charge those posters extra points for shipping?

    Word is they are wanting to get rid of all long term posters so they can recruit noobs that have no knowledge of BI fiasco.

    Whats the bet they wish they could just shutdown PT and Saloon all together?

    I tried to warn Walker to the value of goodwill in a company couple of months back but damage had already been done.

    They changed everything and never said a word about it.

    What a joke this place has become.

    I'm guessing they need to make more affiliate money since the BI scandal and this is their only way.

    I was hush about it but i respect the fact that you said you were going to catch me when trying to qualify
    for the world cup team Canada,then you moved up to 2nd place and remained there the whole time. you pushed me to give it my best.

    You were an asset to the team.

    I also appreciate you pushing me because the only reason I signed up was to beat you as you can see I have not played since. I was pushed by the man and I could not beat the man. The end result worked out regardless.

    Plus the rules changes to the SBR cash where you have to have joined the Sportsbook through a SBR link and have deposited $50 to the sportsbook.

    I can't remember but was the rollover on the SBR cash at 3 or 4 before ??? or has it always been 5 times like it is now?
