    Is buying a freeplay from the SBR Store an appropriate holiday gift?
    I'm thinking of buying a freeplay gift instead of scratch off tickets for my grandpa. He has arthritis and it hurts when he tries to scratch off the ticket with a quarter. He likes football so I will ask him what team he likes and go all in with his freeplay.

    Good or bad idea?

    If hes a sports fan, I think its a great idea. With a game its 50-50 with a scratch off its like 1 in 50.

      Get your kids to make/colour some sort of voucher for the freeplay.
      If he has something physical/tangible then it feels more like a gift than just telling him he has a FP.

                agree
                if you are doing this, give him a coupon or something like that.

                  If it wins will you give him the money or will you make him work off the rollover as well

                        or the jj goggles. That would be a suitable gift.


                        Hell, even a pizza sounds like a smashing idea compared to a freeplay.

                            If he wins I will make him roll it over. There are many bowl games around Xmas time.

                              If he wins give the 50 bucks and you roll it over cheapskate.
