      Okay, so why don't you just pay the $100 and then cash out the 3k they let you keep in bitcoin? It wouldn't cost you a dime and then you can from then on use points to renew and actually make money off this site from here on out? There isn't an excuse that holds any water these days with the advent of bitcoin especially if you have 3k+ points already saved up.

      Any smart individual is pro because you are basically being paid to be here everyday. There is no excuse that makes any fukin sense what so ever anymore.

          This is pretty much true.

              Doesn't the benefits change from county to country though? I've seen people from certain countries gripe on how they can't receive bitcoin cuz they live in X country so they don't renew pro. If you wanna do it just to donate to charity, great but the benefits differ depending on where you live. Pro seems like a good deal for us Americans though

                That is what I am talking about. I don't know how it is in other countries but in America it is beyond a no brainer.

                  Why can't foreigners receive BTC? Are they not trustworthy?

                      Well, some of us cant redeem our points for anything. We are allowed to go Pro, but can only use our points to enter contests and not in the shop.

                        Why can't you buy sportsbook cash? If you're a Pro you'll never be in a position where you can't use your points for something. Even if you've reached the max for every sportsbook option in the Store they always work out another option for you. Unless something has changed very recently that is and I'm not aware of it.

                            After winning a lot of money at Justbet I could no longer get sportsbook cash there or go pro using them. Whether it was their decision or SBR removed me as affiliate account because I was not profitable I do not know.

                            But I got this message 2 years ago from SBR:

                            Hi Pareto,

                            As mentioned Friday we advised you to wait whilst we followed up again with Justbet confirming that they were correct in saying you were not eligible.

                            For a non-US player, there are additional incentives in going Pro beyond just the SBR Store, for instance by going Pro you are eligible for the $50,000 cash prize pool in this year's Beat The Prick NFL and College Football Contest, as well as meeting the requirement of our next SBR Poker and Bowl Contests.

                            As far as SBR Store goes, yes the perk is redeeming your points through SBR Store sponsors. We hope to include more sponsors in the future for those in your situation.

                            Best regards,
                            SBR Staff

                            It has been 2 years and no more options has been added to the store in this period.

                                Haha....despite Betpoints, when it comes to gambling I think the drawbacks of moving to America still outweighs the benefits.

                                          If you have pre-existing accounts at every other book in the Store currently, I'd send a PM to SBR Forum or an email to the address in my avatar to see if they can offer you an alternative now.

                                              There were a few times when I made bets in SBR's sportsbook.

                                              My calls panned out. I was happy.

                                              I logged into the book so I could view my SBR point winnings.

                                              I couldn't find my plays. They were cancelled for some random reason. Or for no reason at all.

                                              What's the point in upgrading on a program that doesn't honor your bets?

                                                    There were a few times when I made bets in SBR's sportsbook.

                                                    My calls panned out. I was happy.

                                                    I logged into the book so I could view my SBR point winnings.

                                                    I couldn't find my plays. They were cancelled for some random reason. Or for no reason at all.

                                                    What's the point in upgrading on a program that doesn't honor your bets?
                                                    Well I have been here 10 years. In all those years I haven't had a problem and you seem to be the first person with that kind of problem. Maybe SBR isn't the problem.

                                                      oh really, guess will have to find a new book then.
                                                      do I have to wait to renew when old expires?

                                                        I know Canadiens cannot purchase Bitcoin in the store, but can I receive Bitcoin when they win a contest?
