    How long they going to keep this going? Also what is the minimum deposit?

    My Pro membership is coming up I'm pretty sure. If I can gamble with the money I used to become a Pro, I'm all for it. Otherwise, ill be joining team broke dikk.

    If they get rid of Amazon, turn out the lights.

    I agree with the amazon cards. If they didn't offer amazon cards, then I wouldn't be making a deposit tomorrow. I think that the minimum deposit is $400 to renew via draftkings

    You've got enough points to renew without making a deposit.

    Yeah, I get that, but then the points are just gone for no reason. ~$100 in Amazon gift cards.

    If I post up, I can gamble with the same money I used to turn pro. Wouldn't be PRO if I wasn't able to do it at 5dimes originally.

    I just presumed these kind of options were dead, and figured i'd just let my membership run.

    Thanks for the info, PO69.

    Does anyone know if the Wal-Mart cards are gone forever, or it's just a glitch?

    I was enjoying not paying for groceries.

    I recommend everyone to email them with some ideas in the store. There is not much left here at all. I would advise them to put some new computers, gift cards from different retailers, other things that people would want here to stay a pro. I had no idea they got rid of Target and Wal Mart cards but now there isn't much left at all. Let's all collectively say what would not cost them too much and would be an idea here to get something nice.

    Wow! I didn't notice that all the gift cards had disappeared. Pizza prices even went up again. Looks to me that too many people were winning big in the store, and SBR had to cut some overhead.

    I hope they put some new merchandise in the store which is badly needed now since gift cards for the most part are gone.

    I agree with you totally. There sure is a lot of fewer things you can purchase now and that isn't a good thing here. I think they need to consider adding some new items.

    Maybe one of the mods can explain why you are taking the sportsbook option away from non US members?
