    It's mostly that I have not been told much about the future yet.

    Which is normal, that CS people talking to the public get told last, to be fair.

    But there is definitely work going on with odds and the book and betpoints and freeplays and bitcoin redemptions. So I am confident talking about those things.

    It's good contest winnings will be honored, as they should be, but you can't honor that and then tell winners in the sportsbook or casino to get lost.

    I expect to receive my $6000 worth of bitcoin or $6000 in sportsbook cash or some other form of equivalent value.

    If this place is to be all legal now with legal books and everything then I would think they have legal obligations to the members. I would spend 10k to make sure I got my 6k out of principle.
    The couple of people I have dealt with seem like professionals. I very much doubt they do anything to destroy goodwill with current members.

      Hopefully BTC is not gone forever in the store. If it is, thank you for having it for so long!

      It would be nice if anything pending was honored.

        AFAIK all pending orders are being processed. Have not been told about the future store inventory yet.

          I think bitcoin payouts as a US operator are a major issue. I think they can honor their payouts for the contest and they can have future contests with cash payments. Paying out for gambling on the site is a problem.

          I would not expect that gift cards are sustainable for any period of time but there may be some willingness to take losses for an extended period depending on the financial backing for those involved and their forecast for the future.

                  Totally agree with you. They want to monetize the SBR community in the long run here, not piss everyone off short term and lose them. At least- that would be good business.

                        Is begging different than getting freebies?

                        I swear someone was begging Genie for some pts.

                          Week ago Jj was pimping Dominos pizza gift cards and how was a great time to turn Sbr pro. now? you are a broke dick if you want a Dominos pizza from the store

                          same guy that shot a video of his super bowl spread, had a bag of "jimmy's beef jerky", "tyrone's chips" and spam. wasn't even "spam" was some out of a trunk "leather brand" spam

                            Well since sbr is not offshore anymore and doesn’t deal in btc anymore, can we now do btc transactions with other members?

                              Someone is going to need to post the "new rules" here. Since Tony, Hman, Spider, Genie are all gone, maybe Optional will be able to pin a thread in Pt with what the "new rules" are. Theoretically, should be the wild west here now. anything goes like Btc/Cc/Paypal bets between posters, you name it. but would be proper for someone to let the posters know what will get you in trouble and what will not

                                  I really don’t think anyone still affiliated with sbr know what the new rules are, it’s like whatever has happened is being done day to day

                                    Before when there was Btc in the store, Pro's were not allowed to buy another Pro's betpoints. maybe that changes now, if the Sbr store even exists once the dust settles
                                    But clearly I think bets between posters should be allowed since its a "legal" approach now

                                      1) It appears SBR will still be supporting BTC in some way.

                                      2) I doubt it, as the reason cash transactions were banned in the first place was too many scammers attracted to try and rip members off.


                                      But when I do get a chance to offer some feedback, I was going to suggest an escrow service to help members transfer bitcoin between each other fee free might be a good addition.

                                        This guy here is doing a great job keeping this place going while JJ screws around.

                                        I don’t know who is in charge but give this man a pay raise. He’s good, fair and has ideas. Get it done.

                                                I would think BTC is going to be replaced by DK dollars or something to that effect. As an example, I can deposit in West Virginia being in Pennsylvania but I can't actually make the bet until I go to West Virginia. For those who live in states without a book, I would assume they could buy these and load them into a close state and have to make a trip to use them? They sell draft kings, mgm, parx, fanduel gift cards at target, no reason this couldn't happen.

As an example, I can deposit in West Virginia being in Pennsylvania but I can't actually make the bet until I go to West Virginia. For those who live in states without a book, I would assume they could buy these and load them into a close state and have to make a trip to use them? They sell draft kings, mgm, parx, fanduel gift cards at target, no reason this couldn't happen.
                                                  Why should BTC be replaced at all? Nothing has changed on that front, not like it's only legal offshore. Good for contests, etc., and once in a blue moon I actually have enough points to buy some

                                                    My guess is that SBR is just going to honor the contests with bitcoin payments and then there will not be any more after that.

                                                    Probably also going to be a site redesign once the football contest is over.

                                                          It's good contest winnings will be honored, as they should be, but you can't honor that and then tell winners in the sportsbook or casino to get lost.

                                                          I expect to receive my $6000 worth of bitcoin or $6000 in sportsbook cash or some other form of equivalent value.

                                                          If this place is to be all legal now with legal books and everything then I would think they have legal obligations to the members. I would spend 10k to make sure I got my 6k out of principle.

                                                          I'm sure AD or Morino will take the case. I'll expect my referral fee guys.

                                                                    The problem with all this is THERE IS NO WARNING.

                                                                    "Hey guys, heads up, in a few weeks everything we've ever been known for since the site was created will change"

                                                                    So I can "hope" we get crypo back (or those **** gift cards like back in the day) or DF/FD money like the offshore guys got, but idk.

                                                                    I could wake up one day and it's fuggin Micky Mouse clocks or signed Agent Orange hats by red hat traitor AutoDonk.

Not sure why those ever got banned. We are just using "points" which have assigned value from the website. There's legal poker sites that do the same thing to get around gambling restrictions.

                                                                      None of the changes so far have been good. At all.
