can we play the $200 btp prize into the betcris poker room?

As per the contest rules, "All bonus awards are subject to ... BetCRIS terms and conditions." So, while I'm fairly sure that you won't be allowed to roll your bonus in the poker room, I'd suggest that this question is best suited for a BetCRIS rep.

Yes you can. I lost $350 playing blackjack yesterday. I need my ass kicked. I'm pretty sure it dosent count towards the roll.

yes or no

Just checked in with CRIS and, as I suspected, the answer to your question is "No".

I guess they'll refund my account the money I lost yesterday.
I'll hold my breath and wait on the $350 credit.

The first poster asked about play in the POKER room. You suggested that your play was in the CASINO. That's two entirely different scenarios.

True I did play some in the poker room as well. Not an issue with me though... I lost... they won end of story.

hah, i wouldn't hold your breath on that refund. Would be nice though!

thanks for the answer. I will stick to sports events.

The short answer is "yes", but with qualifications.

I did this last year, so maybe they've changed the rules. But, You can move your sportsbook balance (or a fraction of it) to your poker account. You may then play your new poker balance as you normally would. You may even cash out net poker winnings through the poker room. But you may not cash out the base amount, because it is tied to the sportsbook. To cash that out, you'll have to move it back to the sportsbook and complete whatever WR are needed over there. I hope this explanation makes sense.

I used this feature last year when I was more interested in poker, but now I have no interest in poker anymore. It was a convenient feature to be able to double my CRIS balance equity, betting sports and playing poker, both. But, if you're trying to complete the WR to withdraw the sportsbook balance, playing poker won't help one bit.
