so ive been an Sbr Pro for a while and a member for the past few years, love the site and the community here but i was wondering if we can ever get an upgrade to the Non US Sbr store anytime soon ? Im sure it is hard to get sponsors for Gift cards to the food places , amazon and whatever else the US community gets but could we get at least something else to offer other then Sportsbook cash that needs to be rolled over x5 ??? For example sure amazon.ca would have the same offers as amazon.com or even let us Canadians/ other countries use Amazon.com because those items still ship to other countries with certain items, or say even certain products like ipads and other stuff US members get, why wouldnt we be able to ship those to other countries with the shipping avenues available these days i feel like it wouldnt be a big problem??

cheers , hopefully we can get a discussion going or figure something out for the future to give non US members more incentive to contribute to the forum because most of the time we can barely even use our points or just waste them on Sbr sportscash and sure barely anybody beats the 5x rollover

players talk discussion moved to betpoints thread to be thrown into the abyss with no responses hmm

[firekillex]

Sweet thanks sbr

I'd prefer sportsbook cash. If you can't beat a rollover then you shouldn't be betting at all.

I'd be all for taking shots on games I like for free instead of using actual money.

I'd definitely choose the sportsbook cash if had to pick between giftcards or free betting money.

And it's more like a 2.5x rollover if you are comparing it to giftcards as it costs half as much.

[shaunovery]

Think most would prefer cash

Sweet thanks sbr

Thanks for what? What changed?

i used to think the same but after doing freeplays all the time it gets boring , id rather have at least a choice between freeplays or minumum 1 giftcard or item we could get, im sure SBR has a ton of international users who feel the same.... I dont feel like its a lot to ask or throw out there for debate
and half the international users already have accounts at the 3-4 sportsbook given and you cant even cash out betpoints for sportsbook cash unless youve made your account through sbr link, and most sportsbooks dont allow you to make multiple accounts so some people get screwed, seen it in a previous thread before as well...... Not complaining love SBR but i feel like international users should get a couple other options to use the hard earned sbr betpoints they get... US gets like 15+ options when we have 1..

True. I don't really bet on MLB so the summer I'd definitely prefer GC's. Most of the GC's are expensive tho. You have fast food places that are about 500 for $20-25 then if you want a $50 or $100 GC to the other spots you're stuck paying nearly double or triple on a point per dollar scale. Hard to justify dropping 1700 on Texas Roadhouse when I can get $80 in pizza for the same price.

i think it would be harder for SBR to give international users food gift cards at a bunch of different venues , id even be happy with just amazon.ca giftcards and like a cool item or 2 like an ipad or something ... I dont see how shipping a little further away would be a big cost and amazon.ca cards theyd probably save money due to canadian and other currencies being less then US dollar right now. Even at worst let international users use amazon.com giftcards if they dont want to use Sportsbook cash as an alternative for loyal PROS, amazon.com ships international and it would be the exact same thing for SBR 0 hassle at all realistically

You rarely see people buy the items. It's almost always cheaper to get GC's and buy online. For instance a Wii U is 14500 points, or you could just get $300 in GC's for 10050, buy it and still have some left over.

Not AS bad now, since they replaced the Xbox 360 and PS3 but a year or so ago those were ~15,000 points when you could buy them new for 6700 in points via GC's and still have some left.



Still some that stick out tho. The TV is 67,200 points but only $1500. So would be 17,000 cheaper to just buy it yourself.

Well im sure SBR enjoys raking in the extra points hahah , I'd even be happy with a Amazon.ca extra or hell like I said even let international users use Amazon.com gift cards and pay extra delivery if needed on shipment this would be literally 0 hassle for SBR it would just be adding an existing GC to let international users have another option win win situation for everybody

since this thread is open, i have a few questions so hopefully someone or sbr staff can answer these

1. is the only thing you can buy with your first purchase $100 cards, since the $500 are over 3000 points?
2. will your points balance reset after the first transaction, no matter how many points you have left?
3. can you buy sportsbook cash to a book even if you didnt sign up to it through sbr? or can you only buy cash for books in which you signed up through the sponsor link?

#3 i know you can only buy sportsbook cash if youve signed up through the sbr link for your account
also its suspect because i cashed out $500 through bodog and deposited money through bodog specifically to cash out sportscash through sbr on there , bodog took a month to get my order which was annoying then after a full month wait they cancelled my $500 free play ..... i email them they literally said sorry for the inconvience and no response back after lollll, then they proceed to cancel $100 of my freeplays through friend ref's saying i cancelled my bet when it was showing my bet to the hour of the game and i won then it magically disappeared 2+ times.... books an absolute joke and then SBR cancelled bodog from even getting sportsbook cash right after so theres only like 3 sportsbook options all which ive had an account at and didnt sign up through an SBR link


so basically i just gamble away my betpoints since theyre almost useless to me at this point hence we should at least be able to buy 1 giftcard even amazon.com GCs which would cause SBR 0 hassle we pay the international shipping fees or just buy like $70 of stuff for a $100 amazon GC and the $30 is used for shipping , i dont see why SBR wouldnt allow that tbh , im sure me and international SBR PROS would greatly appreciate it

Did you ever consider the alternative solution, moving to USA?

[firekillex]

I'm more of a lick the pussy after romancing, not grab her by the pussy kinda guy

but for real Sbr help the international pro members out , give us some GCS or something us loyal members deserve at least Amazon.com cards if you're feeling extra nice Amazon.ca or food places to but I wouldn't expect that

i would love more options for sure, because as of now im only signed up at 2 books. the one that offers sportsbook cash i didnt sign up through sbr so i guess i cant buy for that, and the one i signed up through sbr doesnt offer cash

Let's make a push and try to make something happen Sam, even get us in on some Amazon.com GCS or items that can be shipped international shouldn't be a hassle for SBR imo

[firekillex]

any SBR mods or workers have any input here? how do we get in touch to see what they think

[spider]

Everything is "as is" due to legal restrictions. It has nothing to do with delivery or shipping or anything else.

So international users legally cannot use Amazon.com cards ? Don't understand why that wouldn't work

[tradeout]

sportsbook cash deal is 'nobrainor'

[firekillex]

read the above comments and you can see its not a no brainer...
especially when some international users cant even use the sportsbook cash lol

[bsmmenon]

atleast they shud remove the max cashout from one book of 1000 USD.as after cashing out from all books there won't be any reason to build points...

[firekillex]

atleast they shud remove the max cashout from one book of 1000 USD.as after cashing out from all books there won't be any reason to build points...

that is also a problem, but the main problem is people already having accounts at the given books not being able to even use the sportsbook cash, but yes being able to only use the $500 cashout twice on a site lifetime sucks

not even trying to complain or anything just trying to open a discussion i dont see why international SBR users cannot at least get 1 GC or something , i literally see no legal reasoning that would deny this.... amazon.com ships internationally and much of the food giftcards have franchises in the international countries...

[firekillex]

amazon.com GCS work in these international countries

Australia
Brazil
Canada
China
France
Germany
India
Italy
Japan
Mexico
Netherlands
Spain
United Kingdom
United States

Don't know where you got your list from but they don't work for Australians.

You could add bitcoin or skrill cash option for non US customers.
