    Dear new SBR owners

    If I were you I wouldn't get rid of many of the perks associated with this site.

    Sbr has evolved over time to meet the needs of it's audience.

    The more you give the more you'll get.

    Ya there will be a few freeloaders but the more numbers you draw the more profit you'll get

    Bet points help some of us with gambling problems have something to wager in case we lose all our money.

    Nothing I look forward to more than logging into SBR to get my daily bet points.

    Don't make a miscalculated mistake

    that isnt too much to ask


    that way when everyone has a problem, they know who to contact for help


    that seems like a reasonable question
    this is important

    Yes Otters. Take all the perks away and people will come back in droves. Because who doesn't love to get nothing back?

    Not getting rid of it you can’t have bitcoin in a regulated market

    It’s a no no right now until laws change

    This site has a legal usa license
    They are not going to lose it because of SBR panhandlers

    Gift cards still?

    I haven't cashed any pts in years. It's just a vehicle to bet with.

    Legally the new buyers of sbr can't modify the contracts they have with sbr pros until their pro membership expires.

    This is the principal of assignment - the contracts have been assigned.

    That includes betpoints.

    Obviously a pro membership doesn't guarantee the right to do things like play poker and exchange points for Bitcoin, bit many benefits pros have are contractual obligations that are simply assigned to the new owners.

    I get it....let's go back to the time when you could use your betpoints to deposit directly into a book. I would gladly fund Draftkings with betpoints....makes it easier as well.

    To each their own. How can you not see that having fun wagering points could help someone with a problem stay away from blowing real money while still getting a rush?

    This is actually my biggest draw to the site. Before I would bet upwards of 2k on games, and I wouldn't even want to watch a game if I didn't have at least $300 riding on it. SBR point system seriously helped me curb my gambling addiction by giving me peace of mind in knowing that no matter what happened, the worst I would be down is $100 donation to charity for the year.

    Over the years, it's gotten to the point where I now get the same rush betting 2k points on a game that I would putting 2 grand on a game because once you lose those points, you gotta work your ass off to build em up again. You can't just smash that deposit button and reload. I know a lot of people on here frown upon guys who primary use Betpoints, but I'm very grateful for the current system in place here. Would be pretty bummed if SBR axed the points set up.

    good to see that is your opinion though, i agree with this one
    Oh yeah I was referencing post#10 from "first shifty/Dk advocate". she basically said no more Btc at Sbr store because of "Sbr panhandlers". Which has been a daily thing now for jj and it is pretty ridiculous
    so that is an attack on every single Pro, I was all set to renew. got the email reminder, went to renew Pro and the link was broke
    Now I am glad I didn't, will wait to see if they make an even bigger shit mess of the site first
    Also, have no interest in being represented by thom morino esq. in a lawsuit vs Sbr ownership

    It has been interesting to watch first/second/third shift/Dk advocate/Jj repeatedly attack "Sbr panhandler" posters. while less than 2 weeks ago, he was hyping up Dominos pizza in the store. now, according to "Jj shifty/Dk" you are a "brokeass Pos", "brokedick loser", "broke panhandler" if you can't get your Dominos pizza

    shari has seemed to work with books/players resolutions and combatting fraud at sbr


    optional (as ive said for many years, even when i disliked the guy) is very informative at cryptos




    why are they still here when its becoming a usa owned place?


    it seems like they have extensive knowledge in other fields not related to USA books



    its just very weird right now

    I doubt it will happen either. My point was in context to Morinos post tho. He stated they legally had to give us our points, per the contract. Im assuming hes correct and was just pointing out if SBR wanted to make the points worthless, they could easily do so and still abide by the terms of any contract. But I dont think they would want to do that.
