discrimination? Why you say that

Hi Dmm,

You choose the automatic pro status on the time you created your SBR forum account. This option is available for all non-US players and that's the reason you're a pro player now.

Just noticed that my forum flair says I'm a "SBR Pro". Can a mod tell me how I became a pro? I suspect I must have signed up / deposited with a book using a SBR affiliate link but I can't remember which book that was. I was likely inebriated at the time.

from the faqs in the link below:

the automatic sbr pro program for international (non-usa) users works as follows:
when registering for sbr forum, you have the option to input your sportsbook account id and real name. Doing so automatically gives you the benefits of sbr pro status for a period of one year. Sbr pros receive double betpoints, unrestricted poker access, sports trivia, and the chance to redeem sportsbook cash via sbr store. Users who opt not to submit their sportsbook account id and real name at the point of forum signup must turn sbr pro via the standard pro application form.
if you became sbr pro automatically, in order to make your very first sbr store cashout, you must have made at least one deposit of any size through an sbr sponsor and must have created your account through an sbr network link for that sponsor. The maximum amount of betpoints that can be used for this first store transaction is 3,000. Points in excess of 3,000 will be reset to 0. After this point, there are no such resets provided you do not allow your pro membership to lapse.

• *if a user does not use their real name as on file with their sportsbook for their pro application as well as that name on their store redemption, they risk losing sbr pro status and all points. *
  
  *if a user does not renew their sbr pro membership within one year of registering or going pro, the pro membership will automatically expire. The user can renew their membership by making a deposit of any size to a newly created sportsbook account through sbr in the pro application form. If a user allows their membership to lapse, they will be reset to maximum 3,000 betpoints.

Hey Genie,

may i ask if this option is available for those whose pro status is going to expire soon and want to renew it or is this for newcomers only?

Thanks!
