    Mighty posters of SBR

    What can I really do with my points? As I see most of the items have been updated so they are available only for US residents.

    Is there any way to sell them or something?

    Well you could send them to me and I could get the amazon gift cards and then send the codes to you.


    Certainly you can buy stuff off amazon with the points. amazon has many items for the entire house at incredible prices at times. You cant get the amazon gift cards yourself?

    tenbas - buy sportsbook cash. It's the best deal in the Store.

    PO69... not appropriate.

    Thanks, that did it.
    Although the fine print is ridiculous - 50 deposit, 5x rollover... So much work when you can just order your item.

    Wow, the rules on sportsbook cash got really tight since last year-adding a caveat that i have to make a deposit almost as big as the amount of the voucher+a 5x rollover? I hate to complain because I love you guys..... but being in Canada...... Not a really great incentive for me to re-up my SBR pro account again in September guys.....makes the betpoints almost useless.

    you can get 280 USD cash with your points ... a 50 USD deposit and 5x RO isn't that much ... would you make a 50 USD deposit if a A rated book would give you a 560% cash bonus with 5x RO?

    Yes, but I really don't want to gamble all the money and god knows how easily that can happen. So you have 280$ with those terms or 200$ guaranteed money in amazon.
    And what book would give 200$ without any fine print?

    See when you spell it out like that I feel silly for being hesitant. I get jealous of all those offshore bonuses but never thought to convert this one in the same way. This is why I love you horja xo

    I mean, at least add payable shipping option and you would get a significant amount of potential users for almost nothing. I think I'm gonna suggest that to Sam.

    And I agree with numismatist (and Al masters), there really isn't much for non-us players left here on SBR, why would we waste our money for PRO? So we can gamble more? Too bad, really.

    Poster BeerDog also suggested this to them,just charge the shpping on to the points or to the reciever,
    not sure if SBR ever responded to his suggestion.

    Sure I gamble! Quite a lot actually. And I am up for quite some money ( I was very lucky). But I am not addicted and I know when to stop. I have my limits set, therefore I don't want to gamble now, I want to spend money I made with gambling!

    EDIT: And I never took any bonuses, never will. If I deposit 1000€ I want to withdraw them any time.

    You know how on frequent flyer programs if you buy the "merch" they offer, it's never really worth it in the long run? I've bought 2 ipads from here... and both times I could've had a way better deal on sportsbook cash. Could've bought 2 ipads and ended up with maybe $500 left over or more if I was really lucky? I ended up overpaying bigtime - even in this buttfukk island country that marks everything up hugely and claims "import issues". The only items you want to buy from here are sportsbook cash, pizza and gift cards. Most gift cards aren't available outside the US and even when they physically are, the companies SBR deals with don't want a bar of it. Electronic stuff is for those people who just want something (ie me)... they might think they'll never be able to save up the cash or don't feel guilty paying betpoints for it. But seriously as gamblers, which we're all supposed to be, that's silly... we should know to compare prices and find out what's +EV. It's just liking buying booze or perfume from those catalogues on a plane. You're paying more for the privilege of paying with points than you would with cash.

    This guy ordered his ipod/pad/gift months before the new rules.

    Make a 1 time exception for him because of this situation.

    Oh ffs. This is getting annoying. The internationals (me included) get by far the best deal in the SBR store and yet you choose to whine because you can't pay four times the value for a fukking Amazon gift card. If you a gambler worth your salt you complete that 5 times rollover very very very easily (and in one day) and the points are then real withdrawable cash that you can use to buy whatever you want with.

    I really hope this is the last of these whining moron threads, sadly it won't be. If you really need some JJ Gold merchandise there is something mentally wrong with you.

    From your lack of evidence of any basic gambling knowledge - I really hope you are not gambling at all. Just stick to gambling those betpoints son.
