SBR Betpoints Update

[JIBBBY]

Bummer. The last thing I was holding on to....

[BigOrange]

betpoints program ended a few yeas ago when the ownership changed as Poker, Store, Trivia, and Casino ended.

This is just making if official and removing the unusable points from everyone's account.

Do i qualify for the nfl tournament? And thank you SBR, when I was down and out the free pizza helped out. I had lost my job (factory) and hadn't told my family, I would go visit my mom and since I had those gift certificates, I was able to order food and make it seem like everything was good. SBR has changed a lot. I hope it remains.

Yes, as an active SBR Pro member you are eligible for both contests and the draw.

Thanks for sharing that memory. SBR will definitely remain!

Not having 30 + posts during the summer doldrums is kinda bogus. Been on here daily looking at picks and political discussions. Should let everyone in that’s been here for 5+ years or has over 1000 points. Betpoints has been such a let down over the past few years with countless promises to fix things. My last real memory was cashing out some points for BTC only for it to be cancelled a week later with JJ golds cash out being the last one allowed. Open up the games for the farewell / expand the criteria por favor . Only fair to those of us who have used this site the last decade plus waiting for it to get back to what it once was

Hope your fortunes have shifted. Best days ahead always!

Thanks for the feedback. The 30+ posts criteria goes back to August of 2023, not just this summer. You have exceeded that so are eligible for the $12K NFL Leaderboard Challenge.

As mentioned in a previous reply, we are working on something extra for our long-time engaged members like yourself. Stay tuned and best of luck this season!

Ha - will see what we can do. It is a classic for sure.

bigday how are ya? If the laughing guy goes I will have to retire.

[gauchojake]

It was a good run. I wasn't the best at maximizing value with points but I definitely got more than I gave. Thanks for the transparency, Andy.

[JIBBBY]

You take away my betpoints that I worked so hard to get I'm calling JJGOLD to let him know what has happened!

[sweethook]

goodnight Alice ..

[mrginandtonic]

Hi mrginandtonic,

We have typically just run horse racing contests for the triple crown races. But if there is enough interest, we could fire something up for the Breeders' Cup in November. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them in the contest calendar thread.

Breeders cup would be amazing!! Can’t wait!! Thank you

I do miss the days when SBR Forum was the forum to be at. Good times.

Thanks for being such a long term member! Stick around as we look to improve the forum for all users and offer some amazing events going forward.

[Madison]

I got 13,000 betpoints and thought maybe they would be worth more then gold one day! Damn! ...

Bib, I've got circa 15K and have paid 3K per year to stay pro. Hope that counts for something??

[trytrytry]

I have 25k+ points. I am not a pro. Took 14 years to accumulate.

I guess I'm just outta luck...

were in in a place country where PRO not allowed? years ago did not matter where you lived.
why not go Pro ? wow thats incredible 2 a day plus nibbles in sportsbook, casino etc.

[RITZ]

13,475 Points and bye.

[MGard]

I believe Andy summed it up best earlier: "we are working on something extra for our long-time engaged members. Stay tuned and best of luck this season!"

This will include a number of factors, but the amount of bet points and active tenure will be taken into account when the "something extra" is announced.

Poker and sportsbook were the most interesting things. Now all the points are worthless. It's really sad how the things are going.

those blackjack promos 3-1 BJ before first score or for an hour were pretty run also... innovative approach

[stevenash]

How about throwing in extra entries for years served? Been here for almost 2 decades and wasn't a pussy, who ran off to other forums when shit went down hill, like 90% of the rest. I started here and will end here. Sup

Several others and myself put the capital L in loyal.

And we sincerely appreciate that.
And that's not lip service, that's a fact, we thank you (and others) for your support.

We are looking into doing something poker related soon - will make sure you are included when we work it out.

[firstclass]

Ok so what happens to my points ? Can I use them in a contest ?

Betpoints are no longer active or exchangable. Those with 10k or more will get additional ballots in the SBR $5K Prize Draw (one for every 10k points, up to a maximum of 10 ballots).

As an SBR Pro member you are eligible for all contests and drawing. . We are also planning more fun content and challenges for our members in coming days. Stick around to see what's in store!

[tradeout]

sad to see the betpoints go

[captrobey]

The Betpoints are not really leaving. Not if you keep them in your heart and remember them. Forever .

[ArunSh]

All those folks who stiffed me on betpoint loans I guess are finally off the hook lol! Wonder what Carseller4 is up to nowadays (or what he will be up to soon) once he isn't bugging every person he can find to get his next loan.

He can probably give you a hell of a deal on a used car if you look him up

[gauchojake]

The betpoints economy was really the best part of the program. Remember Wulfy literally buying thousands of points to shoot off in the casino/book? That guy was wild. Mexican Stallion's points book going bust and then him diligently paying back every single poster he owed - STUD. GoatMilk stiffing tokens. Great times
