    what im getting by that is yes you need 200 of deposists, yes you need 200 in your account right now, but do you have to have history of playing with that money no...

    1) If the 200 was present when they applied. They can lose it that night. No difference. A $1000 deposit acct and losing it all a week before has no relevance. $ has to be there when applying.

    2) No, we are making it easier today. If you have $200 or more in your account resulting from a real money deposit (not a contest prize or sportsbook freeroll) you are good to go. $175? deposit 25 more.

    No action required (the books do not allow you to put it in and take it out without betting however).

    You need $200 in your account that stems from a deposit. Deposit $25, win 175 more, and your good.

    what if i had over 200, thought i couldnt apply because it wasnt a $200 deposit, and lost it on a golf match?
    however, i did have over 200 to start the day

    Starting now, if you deposited real money and worked the balance up to $200+, you're good. If that balance is up to $200 through freebie money (ex $25 deposit and $175 SBR store cash).

    The basic idea is even simpler than yesterday...get to $200 without free money.

    I just called Sportbet and I was told that because I have an account with 5dimes I cannot open an account with them. He said it is a new policy.

    Correct, this came into effect once Sportbet officially joined the 5Dimes Group.

    Going to send 200 to the greek today and then fill out form. Do i not play with the 200 until i am confirmed that process is finished. Or do I just have to have the 200 in there when i fill the form out and then can play with it?

    You can play with it. The Greek is expected to process the orders by the close of Monday, but keep in mind the 2-4 business day processing time-frame.

    If it's a new account, you can redeem the 100 point extra bonus by following the signup steps.

    Well, you should signup for Pro immediately after making the new deposit to ensure you have no issues. If your funds are at risk when you signup then your balance is not truly $200 as required by the promo.

    Good point. I wish they could be excluded. But SBR does not know who stiffed who and does not want to get involved with 3rd party disputes.
