    What’s the latest on the store opening?

    No since in having contests if you can’t do anything with the points.

    Why add more contests when they can't even pay out the trivia wins?

    What good are the points for anyway with the Sportsbook and Casino closed?

    Trivia is free plays which I have no control over, these contests are betpoints and I will handle payouts myself, so they will be prompt.

    Pretty much what I was thinking.

    It might be a good idea to get the store up and running before adding any more contests etc to win points/freeplays...

    Any ETA on the Sportsbook, poker and store being functional?

    Why would you not want to have contests if the store is going to eventually open? Gamblers' brains at work here.

    I have my doubts about whether the store will ever open. Hopefully, they surprise and actually follow through.

    They have not inspired much confidence from their empty promises thus far.

    I have my doubts as well. There is a good chance it is a rope-a-dope. I do think they have intentions to do it. It is just a question of how soon and how things go from here. But the new management is also incompetent so they have to be given a bit of a break for that. They will get it eventually.

    Geez, how about a little Monday morning positivity.

    You can die a thousand deaths or you can die once.

    Seems to me that everything is going to be just fine.

    Good Question

    Maybe we can get someone to still offer the weekly match-ups? But I read a few days ago, the guy(Jordan) that hosts the "Slingshot" game, says that he needs a break and will offer the game this year.

    Maybe add BTC contests until betpoints are fixed?
