    Trying to renew pro hazards at sbr

    Was trying to renew pro status. Clicked on the link and SBR gave me 3 options. 1) renew thru sportsbook signup, 2) send them 3000 points or 3) give some dude named Shannon $250 via Moneybookers. It was just simpler for me to do #3 so I sent Shannon the cash on 7/25. Now today I get a short message from an anonymous SBR employee saying that no renewals can be done via Moneybookers? WTF is up with that? John, can I have my money back then? I am assuming you know who Shannon is? Or better yet, just HONOR what u had on the renewal link and give me my Pro Status?! Man, how hard can this be!!!

    it seems they are making it harder and harder to become a pro. when the pro crap first started i followed all requirements but it seemed Lou was on his period that day and denied it. i did not bother to pursue it. now they offer two charities to "donate" to but have horrible funding options. not to mention the two "charity" sites look very, very shady. no paypal? no sale. i got a billmelater account with paypal.

    screw it. least i got a free pizza before the whole pro business.

    SBR making it as difficult as possible to renew is just preparing you for your experience when you try to get money on one of these books.

    lolololol I guess they are lucky JJ is back. For what its worth, Shannon is the only one John lets handle money. So hopefully he still has your cash. Keep us updated on how this goes. Sounds a little shady for sure.

    Oh, I see!! A mod can move this thread out of a high profile location, but you can't answer my question?? That makes a lot of sense! Why not put it back in Players and let more people see whats what. maybe they won't send Shannon $250 like I did? Avoid the mistake. Wouldn't that make sense SBR?

    UPDATE! Now they are saying "you can renew pro thru Moneybookers" (like clueless CS at a sportsbook) BUT, we have NEVER received any money from you! I explained to Annie that it was sent on the 25th and gave my MB transaction ID to them. Hopefully this ends well soon, but so far WOW! UNREAL

    I got email from Canuck Adamho. He can't even access the site!! lololol So I don't know if SBR resolved this or not. I know one thing, if you have a Moneybookers transaction ID--somebody got your money successfully!! lololol Come clean Shannon.
