I think this is what SBR needs to get rid of
People who are here solely for poker freebies. They never bet on sports, never post about anything other than an occasional idea for more or better poker promos. They tell their other poker only friends about the place, and next thing you know you have what we have now: The poker tourneys filled with players you never see or hear from elsewhere on the forum.
SBR has to dial back the poker because it's a loss leader that generates nothing for the site. Get rid of these leeches through mandatory sportsbook deposits or posting minimums and SBR can reduce the overall expense of poker without reducing the benefit for valuable members.
