        It's been around for like a week for people who volunteered early in a thread made by a mod. It just became public in the past 15 hours or so for testing purposes. It seems to be a bad experience for most people, then again online casinos always work that way.

                      Yeah, way to go, SBR. I'm done. Finish out my contests and I am gone.

                      And to think I used to be in the top ten all-time point earners.

                      Sour taste. Fresh horizons. See ya.

                        Man that sucks.. How many points did you have and how long did it take for you to lose them?

                        When you say "you are gone" do you mean you are leaving sbr period?

                          In fact, I found Bill Dozer while working on the buttons for the Poker Room. I imagine the casino has similar functions like "Give player 20 and dealer 6-card 21" or something.

                                                      It has not actually been widely advertised except for HBO (PPV of course)

                                                                  When you say "you are gone" do you mean you are leaving sbr period?
                                                                  I had 442 points before the casino.

                                                                  It took me a couple hours to lose them.

                                                                  I'm a vet with online casinos, so I knew the risks and I knew the odds were against me. But I've hit hot streaks before and figured the software was stacked for hot streaks when players were survivors...especially in the "testing phase" of the SBR casino. But it turned out I was wrong. I should've known better.

                                                                  Hell, I know online casinos are a stupid, moronic way to lose real cash. That's why I hardly play them anymore.

                                                                  But for points? Fukin points? Hell, I'll roll the dice on a few hundred points. Surely SBR had a clue and wouldn't stack the deck against their members so early in the game.

                                                                  But they did. They went about this in the wrong way.

                                                                  Would it really have killed SBR if a few dozen players made 5 or 6 hundred points before the software scaled back the odds and kept them from making 5,000?

                                                                  Whatever. It's points. It's only pizza. But it's bad business.

                                                                  Am I gone for good? After 2,000 posts in just a few months? After thousands of hours on this site, patronizing the advertisers and opening two dozen sportsbook accounts that I never would have without SBR?

                                                                  Hell no. I'll be around. I'll just be around a whole lot less. SBR showed me they can prey on human weakness just as easily as the bastards in Costa Rica. That's cool. They can take my points and joke about it. They know it's not cash outta my wallet, so they know I won't be hurting when I make my grocery list.

                                                                  But it's still bad business. Shortsighted. Cruel. Dumb.
