Your bank thinks this is marketing but I call it a sucker's gimmick.

So you gave me pizzas and gift cards and you took my money when I lose at the book.
They don't take YOUR money, they just take part of the books winnings... Once you lose money to a book it's not yours anymore anyway, so why should you care who it is divided among? You would've lost it anyway, even if you played at some other book or haven't signed up through them... I for one prefer SBR to profit from my losses than books alone, as unlike books, SBR at least gives us something back in exchange and offer us this great resource (the forum) free of charge.
