Buying SBR points

VegasInsider · 02-09-11, 09:05 PM

that would be very interesting, but I doubt that will ever happen

SBR_John · 02-09-11, 09:55 PM

Actually YES. But not to US citizens.

onlooker · 02-09-11, 09:57 PM

Just save up your daily points people. Build a points bankroll.

April 1st we will sell point packages to non US citizens. I'm sure they will mostly be used to play poker.

Is that due to this site already being declared a gambling site in the US?

tblues2005 · 02-09-11, 10:09 PM

Maybe it is not available to US people as of yet. I can see it happening in the future.

doublej95 · 02-09-11, 10:13 PM

SBR might have a problem with US citizens trying to get the non citizens to buy the points for them and paypal them the money. This will be a stiff's dream.

We just dont want to endanger our banking relationships or pay lawyers. I'm sorry we will not be able to sell to US citizens but thats just the way it is.

Yea, that makes sense. Damn U.S. laws, heh.

stealthyburrito · 02-09-11, 10:43 PM

why would you want to buy points??

John,

Just for clarification, would it be possible for a non-US citizen to buy points and 'gift' them to a US citizen? (Pros only of course).

Either way though, nice addition for the international people.

YorkHunt · 02-09-11, 11:43 PM

Wish I was not a us citizen haha

great question

Thanks John you da man.....

muldoon · 02-09-11, 11:55 PM

Haha. Yeah, I can see it now. Allow non citizens to buy and then transfer over.

Anyone else remember the scramble to empty neteller accounts this way?

Well, if it's legally allowed, then why not? That's why I asked for John's opinion of it.

Of course if it is allowed, a rule should be implemented that restricts international members from selling to US members at greatly inflated prices. I don't think it should be a way for non-US members to get rich off SBR's sales.
Just my opinion though.

There should never be a reason to buy SBRpoints when they are given out free everyday. Use some god damn discipline already.

I hope you are no longer a US Citizen or have some high powered attorney from Dallas. Grills are out of season.

Well it's not allowed as of right now for anyone mainly due to people would get screwed trying to buy points. I was surprised when I saw that they would start selling them to non US citizens. I think they will have a few scam artist looking to stiff people.

tickingclock1 · 02-10-11, 12:58 AM

Aside from April fools. Allowing points to be bought wouldnt throw off the economy. Its not like people would even buy the points to redeem stuff at the store. They get more for their money using cash. I say they should sell points. Its a no lose for both parties assuming that everyone acts intelligently. However, that may not be a safe assumption.
