    We should be able to exchange points for sportsbook money

    The admins here are well-connected with the books, so why aren't we able to exchange betpoints into sportsbook gambling money? I'd exchange the 16,000 points I have for a couple hundred bucks at 5Dimes any day. I guarantee more people would go pro on here too.

    Because people are going to jail
    Gaming is about to go legit soon most of the underworld books will not be allowed to operate.
    SBR has to keep a clean slate.

    they dont want to go to jail.

    weird that they still support neo-cons after they put them in this predicament by sneaking through the anti-internet gambling law (unlawful internet gambling enforement act of 2006).

    Hi mcduggly,

    International users (no USA) are able to trade points to accept sponsoring sportsbook credits.

    uh, they tried moron!

    "If passed, Reid's legislation would overturn the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which attempted to ban online gambling by making it illegal for credit processing companies to handle funds related to Internet gambling activities"

    "Since UIGEA came into effect, several lawmakers have tried to overturn it. One such effort, the Internet Gambling, Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act (H.R. 2267), sponsored by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., was approved by the Financial Services Committee just prior to the 2010 midterm elections, with a bipartisan majority."

    For Democrats who oppose legislating morality, overturning UIGEA, a law that seeks to stop adults from engaging in voluntary and private behavior, would signify a victory for civil liberties and for the freedom to make lifestyle choices."

    http://www.forbes.com/2010/12/07/onl...le-minton.html


    neo-cons blaming democrats for not overturning a law, which is difficult and nearly impossible, but giving free pass to the republicons passing it in the first place.

    Buy a I Pad or something and sell it on eBay. Then go to your nearest ** office and send the cash. Easy

    I feel like that process would take awhile.
