    As of now, there is no other option for non-USA members to renew Pro other than book deposit, hopefully that could change someday but it is not my call.

    i mean, zs1ckness has never posted here?????????????

    how about looking into about the other 10 i mentioned as well

    THANKS
    This is being looked at, but at first glance at zs1ckness point history (which you can see yourself), there is nothing suspicious. He may not post but he logs in often, and he shows a 10,000 sportsbook win 2 years ago. There are no suspicious loans or anything. Anyway, they are taking a much deeper look upstairs.

    Rudy, they are both from New York and live in a different City. We reviewed both accounts and they are not connected.

    Base on what Genie just said, they may very well be offline friends, which is not illegal as long as they are not in same household.

    with that situation, i think friends should sign up and post

    but its a slippery slope as to what is legal

    thats all im saying

    and why i never told any of my friends to sign up...all 1 of them

    a "few times" on a friends computer

    might be very similar to someone being lazy when changing accounts to get credit


    big problem with that

    do away with points for 2020


    cash winnings only for pros only

    But separate IPs in different cities (albeit same state) should be enough to make things kosher IMO. But again, I only work here any discipline would come from above.

    so what have we learned here?

    exactly what i said about 8 years ago when sweep/lkid1 had a problem


    same problems still here


    as long as you are on 2 different IP addresses "located" apart, you are clear

    if you go visit a friend and sign in at their place, you and the house owner are banned


    and for my 2nd scenario like i said, if you give a "pass" on that scenario, then it gives scammers a free pass when they screw up the first time



    sbr needs a new overall strategy or only scammers will be here


    hell, right now...people are scamming for video games. wait til they realize they can scam real money here

    I don't understand what you are saying here, where is the scam? There already seems to be enough evidence that it is two different guys, which at the end of the day is all that matters.

    Who did that? Seems like a silly strategy when key is to get as many wins as possible. Don't think there is any rule against it so guess it's fine. But who did it?

    In that case we would honor both plays since there is no advantage gained, as one play has to lose.

    What does this mean? Has he been banned from every SBR Sportsbook? He must have had at least one account at a SBR Book to go Pro in the first place.

    Laws changed since last year, can't bet at unlicensed book in Portugal and no SBR sponsored books are licensed there as of now. He can't even access SBR books as IPs are now blocked.

    EDIT: Law may not be necessarily "changed" as much as more aggressively enforced with IP blocks.

    That seems the right decision.

    gavin is the one who (inadvertently?) took both lines. He has 267 and 268.

    Read the link in Post 36, Betpoints were not the issue, the issue is that none of the SBR sponsored books are licensed in his country and his IP is blocked to all of them. He was a Pro when he joined the contest, in fact he was a Pro until literally the day before contest started, and as of now SBR has no alternate ways for non-USA members to renew, so we are treating him as Pro this one time only.

    I will be meeting a poster on 5th and 6th January, what this means is either of us won't login despite both of us being SBR pro verified through books

    Please PM your concerns to SBR Forum handle, I think we have cluttered up this thread enough with non-contest issues. Besides, that handle has much more knowledge on international users than I do.

    so its just he cant renew anywhere or has used up all sportsbook links?


    why are we still doing world cup poker if none of them can use their points?

    Most? internationals can still use points to buy Sportsbook Cash in the SBR store. Can't renew pro with points though.

    To renew pro we need to have min balance in one of the listed books that we signed up through an SBR affiliate link. At least that was the rule last year, my renewal notice is due any day now.
