    SBR for people in US

    I think whomever is in charge of marketing should give a statement for why anybody in the US would reup as Pro?

    I see a lot of people asking questions with no answers.

    Price increases, limited options, and just over all neglecting the calls from your customers by staying silent.

    I think legal issues with giving gift cards
    SBR attorneys must be against this points and gifts thing as far as sportsbetting

    Might have to restructure USA Players options

    They screwed the US in the World Cup of Poker and didn't even flinch and you think they care about US poster Pro memberships?

    Pro status looking less and less attractive to US players.

    Don't see myself renewing in December...

    Every single major gambling portal has advertised books that have gone bankruptcy in the last 10 years. Nobody is exempt

    Cliff notes on what happened it seems:

    http://www.************.com/betislan...-inside-67671/

    After reading that, is your opinion the same that it was merely sterile advertisement?

    EDIT: nevermind, SBR has put that place on a filter.

    That's not an excuse. It's like saying every bank steals from their customers so we might as well do it at our bank.

    I certainly hope they don't get rid of gift cards. That will be bullshit and make points useless.

    Who the f.u.c.k. ratted on the gift card game?

    My future pro membership hinged on turning in points for gift cards/products.

    Don't know what a pawn shop will give for SBR duffle bags.

    People may be getting screwed in the gift card game. Walmart gift cards were sick.

    JJ, keep the gift cards or at least some products.

    Then they should talk to ESPN and other fantasy sports site. Streak For The Cash is just a way to get around "Sportsbetting".

    Gotta realize who's most valuable to the business model. Look, if US players were the priority, there'd be incentive to sign up. There's not. That soulf tell you everything you need to know.

    I feel ya, it's just pisses me off how fantasy sites where you can win cash that have been around forever and now this Streak For The Cash stuff is aloud to be around, but when sbr tries to give out giftcards businesses shy away.

    Bubble got a family to feed.

    Bubble need giftcards to use/sell, to supplement my roll at 5D and bookmaker.

    JJ come through for us.

    It's still +ev. Obviously less than before. If you cant see that don't renew, why the need for a statement? Want someone to hold your hand and tell you you're special?
