    Hi cc440unn,

    Thanks for the question. If the Pinnacle account wasn't opened through the sponsor link, you'd have to choose either WillHill or any of the other sportsbooks listed in the form that you don't yet have an account with.

    Hi cc440,

    5Dimes requires account holders to be at least 18 years of age.

    yeah your right.

    I made an error.. this is betjamaica who ask 21.

    the problem with 5dimes is they asked a minimum of 1000$ or 2500$ (dont remember) deposit if yur using wire. I will only deposit between 500 and 700$

    Are BetDSI and Diamond the same?

    Search engine results seem to indicate they are. I am considering registering an account which qualifies for the SBR Pro Application, and just want to confirm if BetDSI would qualify.

    I had going pro on my mind for months then you went pro only in the store. That made me more determined than ever. Truth is I joined BetJam last August I think but never got comfortable on how to fund the account. So once the store went pro only I made up my mind, yep I must go pro. So now it's done, but then I go to apply for the pro status and see that I must use the links on that page, son of a gun. I failed to read the bold print twice in the same week. See, I actually screwed up my *********** deposit to Betjam. Again I failed to follow the instructions. I never considered myself stupid but if the shoe fits, right..? Anyway, whether or not I get a pro status for my deposit to BJ, Scotty was great to deal with. Once we got a chance to talk we worked out plan, which benefited us both. I assume, sbr gets a kick from the pro-page link to the book. And since I did signup from the sbr sportsbook review originally back in August, I thought you might check with Scotty and somehow conclude that I might still qualify for the pro status. If not I understand. My experience in the way Scotty handled my initial deposit circumstance still has me feeling good. Thanks in advance.

    Trivia
    Just signed up as a pro about 2 months ago & I just heard from a friend about trivia offered once a week that you can receive additional points?

    He said when he logs on Wednesday's the trivia pops up. This does not happen
    for me. I do use the mobile version, is this the reason I'm not getting the trivia?

    So do I have to become a pro to redeem my points in the store? I am saving for a $50 sportsbook reward, but I can I get that now or do I have to become a pro?

    I have an account with major sportsbook you listed here, but it wasn't opened through a link from here. I guess I can't go pro?

    I didn't mean how long are you Pro, but how long does it take for your application to get approved for you to turn Pro?

    So you cant get pro status unless you use a link from SBR?..... That is bullshit. Im not about to open another sportsbook account just to get the pro status. SBR should really consider giving PRO status to players who already had accounts at the sportsbook listed on the site. I know some sportsbook ask how you heard about them and I always say SBR. That should be all you have to do. Lou is there anything in the works to fix this in the future, or at least consider this because I know there are several players who feel the same way.

    Lou, you probably received my app twice but no response from the 2nd app.
    I'm with Gross, I have had 5Dimes for a while already and I have already deposited my $200 before all this new rule was in place.
    I don't know why we need to get a whole new book and deposit $200 with different lines than what we were use too.
    Now that I have deposited my money to 5Dimes, will I be able to cash out my money?????
    If I can with no hassle from Tony and company, than I will be okay looking for another book.
    But if I can't cash out from 5Dimes, than this whole new system of going Pro absolutely sucks!

    Renewing your Pro Membership:

    1. All Pro memberships last for one year.

    2. 30 days prior to your membership expiring, an automatic PM will be sent to you reminding you that your membership will soon lapse. Notices will be sent at multiple intervals leading up to the date of your membership's expiration. If no response or action is taken by you to renew, your membership will expire at SBR's discretion once its determined you wish not to renew.

    3. You cannot choose to renew at any point before the 30 day limit begins. The SBR Pro application link will appear under your user-name when you're eligible to renew and won't be active before that point.

    4. Pros are able to renew with the book they first used to become an SBR Pro. If this book is no longer an SBR sponsor, you are still eligible to use that book to renew your membership should you choose to do so. Or, if you wish not to use the book you initially chose, you may open a new account via an appropriate SBR link and make the standard minimum $200+ deposit.

    5. If you renew within the 30 day period before your membership expires, your initial Pro expiration date will carry through to the following year. For example: You first became a Pro on September 1st, 2010. On August 15th 2011 you renew your membership. Your membership will then expire September 1st, 2012.

    If you have any further questions, please email GoPro@sbrforum.com

    ***
    Once details for renewal via contributing $200 to selected charities become finalised, they will be added to this post.

    I got a question Lou.
    How come this was sticky in the Newbie section when a lot of us here who wanted to become Pro never come and visit this section????
    If this was sticky in the Players Talk section, I can assure you guys that I would be in this dilemma I am in
    now.
