Shari, is anything being done to try and reinstate sports book cash for American members?

I'm not involved in that area but I'd say that unless we want SBR to be shutdown for good, the chances are not great for that option to be reinstated for US members anytime soon. Things need to change legally in the States for that to be a viable option again unfortunately. On the plus side though, y'all have gift cards and other items to purchase and while some might not think they're enticing, if they put a teeny bit of thought into it they could see how they could convert those items into straight $ without even having to deal with a book if they wanted to. And for someone like me who has been having massive ebbs and flows with gambling lately, those damn gift cards and merch would be way more useful than sportsbook cash. $100 at Target for example = a huge amount of kid stuff, household essentials, etc. Stuff you'd normally have to buy anyway but you're now getting thanks to answering some trivia q's right and maybe a bit of poker if that's your thing.

I don't know... even if I didn't work here I'd never think the Pro program wasn't worth it regardless of where I lived so that's why I struggle to see anyone's objection to it. If someone doesn't believe it's worth it even after doing their math then they should go sue their math teacher!
