SBR losing money with the Points system?

This means they will probably have to rig the casino even harder to try to compensate.

What exactly is this double points we get in August?

Does that mean we get 12 points a day instead of 6? Or is there more to it?

The minute it stops being profitable going forward I guarantee it will be wiped off the face of SBR.

6 points for usual posting. 12 points require deposit/balances at sponsored books to be eligible.

There's no way to discern if it's profitable or not. Directly, the point system does not make any profits for SBR.

The point system is just there to create incentive for posters to stay at SBR.

More posters at SBR = more sign-ups to sponsors = more deposits to sponsors = more money made for sponors = the more money SBR brings in from sponsors and the bigger/more popular SBR becomes attracting more and more traffic, posters, sponsors and money.

It would be impossible for SBR know how many more posters they're able to keep here because of the points system rather than without it.

It's still amazing to me that SBR has the point system. I mean they would be more than well off without it and them having it is pretty class and shows their dedication.

If we were able to legitimately tell if it's profitable or not, I would say it is not. The point system is definitely a gift
