Guys if you don't think the payouts are good then don't play. Take 2 months off.
You should be happy there is a contest. SBR could have said we are taking 2 months off instead until football season starts and give nothing for prizes.

Sometimes these seem to go from "best player" to "player that played the most" lol.
But maybe not this one.
Good stuff with the contest Sam, I hope all is well.

Sam, since the total poker points payout was 135000 points for those 2 months, shouldn't the promo prize package be bumped significantly?
So now we get to battle for two months to win a share of 15,000 points

Surely I can come in at least 25th place next Saturday.
Never know, I could end up winning the whole thing.

It's absurd. So it will be an actual complete waste of 2 months for dozens of players. Even for the person who gets 1st, the points per hour spent is gonna be pretty pitiful whereas 5th is straight up garbage
Just actually... what???

Just to really hammer this home: Let's look at the standard system. 3 tourneys a day gives out 3000 poker points per day. Over 2 months that's 45 dailies for 135,000 total points
Instead you're distributing a total of 15000 poker points. Nice promo lmao
edit: I see franklee said this earlier. Worth seeing again. Yeah, crazy

Sam,
Is it possible to switch the break to 55 after the hour so you line it up with most other online sites?

So which is it, are you sucking up to sammy, trolling the players, or a little of both?
You basically said you aren't even gonna compete
I see your 1k poker points puts you in 56th place in the current standings. Now you'll need to get 5th to get the same amount. If you get 6th you get 0. And you love it. C'mon man

Just to clear something up.
This last promo has run 3.5 months.
The new one lasts 2 months.
With a COvid discount, this prize pool should be about 3 times more in all reality, especially with poker points which will take the winner forever to rollover.

LOL How dumb are you 2? We all paid/donated $100 and we haven't even been able to bet on anything!!
Nobody would have paid $100 to be a pro on a gambling web site and not even be able to gamble!
Now even the poker points are going to be gone!! LOL I guess we all paid $100 for 12 points a day and no gambling!
Please make it "fair" and take the casino away too! LOL

Yeah now NOBODY will be in any ring games, or even omaha hi-lo on the weekends, because there won't be any
poker points to roll over for TWO MONTHS! Then all of a sudden after 2 months it will be only FIVE people playing
each other in omaha hi-lo on the weekends trying to roll over thousands of points! LOL

Rarely been playing with the current times and promo qualifying requirements.
Will certainly pass on this one as well if no daily payouts.
About time to re-up my pro membership....not sure why though.

I mean the current promo running isn't great but they boosted the daily prizes back to 1k instead of 800 and it's value on top of the daily prizes even if you don't cash in the final tournament.
This "promotion" gives NOTHING for playing everyday which you most likely will need to in order to get top 5 in just 40 total tournaments that you can play. Variance much? So 95% of the players will have received zero points over the next two months.
The lucky winners won't even be able to rollover because there wont be any games. They are giving out 15,000 poker points vs 135,000 over the next two months. Do they expect players to be happy? This will kill poker on SBR for sure. But I guess that's what they are going for.

I would've appreciated it more if they were just like "uh, yeah, we're gonna cut poker prizes by 90% bc of COVID-19" or whatever. That sucks a lot, but oh well
Acting like it's some exciting new promo to find the GREATEST SBR PLAYER? Like nobody's gonna notice. lol. It's insulting
