    Is it a bad time NOW to send my SBR Pro aplication?

    I have already sent it like 4 days ago and was denied. I don't know why???? I do have over $200 in my account at 5Dimes and I live in the USA.

    After I was denied, I sent another application and I also emailed the SBRPro.

    So, I hope I can get some answers, otherwise I just wanna pull my $200 out of 5Dimes before Tony gets horny about it.

    Did you ever have a discussion with Lou on why you were denied?

    In order to become Pro, you need to sign up to a new book (on their list) through their link and deposit $200. You can't use a existing book your already signed up with.

    Don't do it yet. Wait until the current Pros are notified for renewals and see how many renew.

    Unless things have changed in the last few days, I don't think that's right. I recall Lou saying you could use the same account that was used last year for the initial sign-up.

    I guess Im going to get denied then too, I deposited again at Bet Jam today and then submitted my renewal pro form to SBR. The whole new book things is F ed up, we should be able to play where we are established,and feel safe in knowing we can always get our $ out and in our hands within two days.

    later

    No guys, if your becoming PRO for the FIRST time you need to use one of the links here. For renewal you just need $200 in the book you became PRO at.

    Well I'm still waiting for an answer. All these new rules were not clear to me and I won't gamble my $200+ from 5Dimes until I get a reply back from Lou or Reload.

    The policy you're talking about is for a renewal of your Pro membership. And that's still the policy. JMobile is attempting to become a Pro for the first time.

    JMobile here's a thread about becoming a Pro for the first time. Basically though, as long as you've created a new account at a book through an SBR link and deposit $200+ with your first deposit, you'll be approved. But if it was an existing account that you didn't create through an SBR banner, then yes your application will be denied.

    Shari, so am I stuck with these $200 from 5Dimes?
    I wanna cash out now because I've been having nothing but bad luck outside SBR.
    Been looking for other jobs that I know I qualify and they deny me for being "over qualified".

    If you didn't create the account through SBR, then your app will definitely be denied. That aspect of the program was changed a few months ago. It used to be that you just had to have the money in a book that sponsors SBR but now it has to be a new account through an SBR referral. So yeah, if it's an old account that you created on your own then you should take your cash out if you need to as your 5Dimes app will just continue to be denied.

    And I'm sorry to hear about your job search struggle. It always sucks to hear the "over qualified" reason from potential employers. It's like you're being punished for being too good when really they just don't want to pay you what you're worth. Shitty economic time right now definitely.

    Thanks Shari, I hope I don't have too much trouble trying to cash out what I already deposited a couple days ago from Tony and 5Dimes.
    I hope he doesn't care about a small $200 ****, which should be chump change to him.

    I got denied also---made many deposits to listed books---except just bet, sent them $200 to become pro, but did not open account through sbr link , money I would rather have sent elsewhere. Im ****** because I have accounts at all listed books---some of these accounts are 6 or 8 years old----before sbr started pro program.

    If you have an account at all of the books eligible for the Pro program (except for those not available to US bettors if you're in the States), email gopro@sbrforum.com and someone will work with you on this and let you know what other options you have.

    Yes, you have the option of being grandfathered in. Even if your book is no longer an SBR sponsor.

    I actually made a post with all of the renewal details earlier today if you have any other questions:

    I'm so frustrated now after trying to withdraw what I already deposited after finding out that I need a NEW book and deposit $200 to become Pro. I think Lou is laughing at me. Well why not? Who wouldn't?
    Here is my chat with 5Dimes about withdrawing.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Chat InformationPlease wait for a site operator to respond.
    Chat InformationYou are now chatting with 'Isaac'

    Isaac: Hello. How may I assist you today?
    J: I wanna withdraw some money
    Isaac: through which withdrawal method do you want to cash out, sir?

    J: I'm not sure. I don't know what options I have.
    J: And if there is a fee.

    Isaac: yes, there are different fees involved depending on the withdrawal amount and
    the withdrawal method
    Isaac: let me explain you a little about this...
    Isaac: you can request a payout via *****, that is a person to person transfer,
    *************** which the money will go directly to your bank account using this intermediary
    Isaac: or for larger amounts you can request a check via FedEx
    Isaac: for an *************** payout there's a 3% fee, but the minimum fee will be $20 and the
    maximum fee will be $50.
    Isaac: you can request from $50 up to $2300
    Isaac: however we will need you to send us your bank account information so we
    can proceed and make the transaction

    J: What is 3% to withdraw $175?
    Isaac: ******, is pretty much easier, we send the money to you in your
    location, you can go to any local agency and ask for the money once we give you the
    reference number.
    Isaac: it will be $20, the minimum fee

    J: What is the fee for ****** and how long will it take?
    Isaac: on Mondays from 9am to 1pm EST, you can receive a free or discounted
    payout
    Isaac: once every 30 days
    Isaac: in this case we will cover up to $40 of the fees
    Isaac: for ********** on that amount will be $26
    Isaac: can take from a few hours up to 24 hours

    J: So the Discounted Payout is only good on *************** transactions on mondays from
    9am-1pm EST???

    Isaac: on all payout methods
    Isaac: once every 30 days from 9am to 1pm EST, mondays only

    J: Since this will be my "once" a time and if I would want to payout on Monday
    during those hours, my fee is free????

    Isaac: yes, it will be
    J: But I would have to wait on Monday. Correct?
    Isaac: we will cover up to $40 of the fees
    Isaac: correct
    Isaac: let me tell you something...
    Isaac: I see you made deposits using ************, right?
    Isaac: before a payout we need you to send some information.
    Isaac: paperwork
    Isaac: but there's something else...
    Isaac: I just realized that you just deposited this last $200
    Isaac: there's a mandatory one time rollover for US customers,
    Isaac: that means that when you make a deposit you must justify it giving action to it
    placing some wagers
    Isaac: however, if you still want to cash out this money
    Isaac: you'll incur in a 5% administrative fee
    Isaac: and in this case we won't cover the payout fees

    J: So it really doesn't matter anymore when I decide to withdraw *************** then, correct? I
    don't have to wait until Monday. correct?

    Isaac: yes, correct
    J: Understood.
    Isaac: as soon as we received, if the CC department says it's ok, you can
    receive your payout
    Isaac: please notice that if you want to request this $175 *************** payou
    Isaac: payout*
    Isaac: the fees will be $20 + $8.75 for the 5%administrative fee
    Isaac: $28.75 total


    ----------------------------------------
    **** means : *******Transaction

    There was more to it, but I just cut out the less important information.
    So it looks like I'm gonna lose money either way or try to give this money some action but lately I have been on a huge slump and buried and I will puke if I lose the plays for the sake of trying to go Pro.
    Here is a guy who is doing all he can to change his status in this forum. I am a true degenerate of SBR.
    I know most of the Admins are laughing their asses off at me because the thread where it shows "the NEW method of becoming a Pro" is located in the Newbie Section and not in Players Talk. How many of us existing users often visit the Newbie Section? All the fun is in Players Talks.

    Hi JMobile,

    If you intended to deposit the $200 for Pro and withdraw it right away, the sportsbook would've still charged fees. All sportsbooks have playing requirements after a deposit is made, most are 1X play-through.

    The terms of becoming an SBR Pro are clearly laid out in the SBR Pro application form. Please shoot me another PM if you have any other questions.

    Jmobile,
    It looks like you didn't read the paragraph on the pro form. It's pretty clear the 2 steps you need to take and missed.

    5Dimes marketing wanted to make an exception for your pro sponsorship so you are good to go. Congrats.

    Im still debating on whether to renew. I used betphoenix last year but Im not sure who would be a good choice if you are in the US. I wish the government would just step down and let us do our thing. They should maybe be more worried with the sky rocketing debt instead of offshore sportsbooks
