Not the point.

I actually have a balance at the book I would get free cash. I would withdrawal the $250 before adding the $250 free cash. So I was getting cash for my points. The free plays and free cash are better "point to cash" value to me. But I will adjust on this.

Again, I hope it's temporary.

How do earn your 2,500 points to cash? You place wagers and win right? So why not wager at books and make same money. I would understand if you were getting 2,500 points for logging in and then cashing it.
But it's a same process of wagering. Why do you need SBR points to cash $250??
Plus...you pay the highest juice with SBR because they use BOOKMAKER. You get better juice on any other book available.

you dont have to choose one or the other. how are you able to read and write and yet not able to differentiate between getting something additional for free and having what you already have.

**secretstash** · 05-28-11, 02:03 AM

i just think u should start selling all.accessprepaid gift cards / netspends in the store.. then they are usable at 90% of the books

v-is-a is the shit

America. LAND OF THE FREE. Wow. Terrible stuff. Makes me sad.

**ryanspeer2001** · 05-28-11, 02:56 AM

Oh nooooo. Hopefully you guys can keep the ship afloat and get things rectified shortly.

**AzNDooM** · 05-28-11, 03:14 AM

THat really sucks. Half of the difference of SBRFOrum compared to the others is the sportscash for SBR Points. BUsiness is really going to go down =(

**FreeFall** · 05-28-11, 03:21 AM

Is this a ******* joke? what the **** are the use of points. SBR I know most of your posters are US. God damnit lock this forum down and make it ******* private For ***** sake. I'm glad SBR really represents the posters it makes me feel welcome.

BRING BACK BIG BOY DAN!

In the meantime I will ask Sam to make more gift cards available like pre paid Mastercards and such. As most know we stopped allowing points transfers in the Service Plays forum because of lawsuits from scum...errr, touts,(my apologies) whom claim players are in essence buying the picks from SBR.

The points program is a very simple concept but it also can be twisted to make it look like something it is not.

I love the idea of having some pre paid cards that would work at the books. I hope something like that can be worked out on that. I do think it is a great idea to consider this. Maybe there is a way that you can get this worked out with some of the books to get it to work.

**aceking** · 05-28-11, 03:52 AM

Americans have 2 days left to spend their points !

or just migrate to Canada .

I have seen the direct question asked and not answered on whether the order has to be in before the 30th or processed by the 30th. I have had something ordered since Wed. the 25th. I have never had an order stay open so long unless the weekend was involved. Everytime before when it was placed, it was completed in two days. Now its still open and the 30th will come and go without it being processed.

SO is the 30th the processed date or the last date to order them?

It doesn't matter if they are located on the moon; if you interact with US citizens, you have to obey US laws. That's the legal principle. What is up for debate is how the points program is viewed in respect to online gaming laws, etc. That's why they smartly retained counsel. (Actually should have done it a while ago, but they didn't hire me to tell 'em.)

Thank your friendly islamic muslim terrorist organization for the reason why poker, sports books and anything else involving large sums of money moving overseas, will soon be a thing of the past! There was never any problem until the DOJ, CIA and other intelligence forces began tracking whether or not large transfers of cash were being used to fund terrorist groups. No one is immune and it's basically how they found large sums of money millionaire rich fuk's were hiding in swiss bank accounts to avoid taxes. They checked out everybody because anytime big money is going overseas, especially to third world countries or anyplace that might have ties to terrorism, it now looks suspicious. Discovering what poker sites and sports books have been doing was just icing on the cake. This shit would have never happened, but because muslim fuk's are over here, making money and then sending it back home to fund their radical islamic terrorist groups, everyone, even legitimate companies are now under the microscope. Thank you terrorists, once again, your fuk'ed up religious beliefs have managed to make our lives a little less enjoyable.

I have questioned the legality of the rewards program re: sportsbook promos for some time. It probably IS illegal through some form of accomplice liability. Regardless, thanks for the opportunity while it was there and for the non-sportsbook rewards going forward!

The 30th is the last day to order them. ALL orders will be processed no matter how long after the 30th it takes.

The problem that I have with this is that businesses located outside of the United States and its' territories should not have to abide by US laws. For instance, the legal age to drink alcohol in Costa Rica is 18. In the US, it's 21. Is a bar in Costa Rica breaking US law because they are serving alcohol to a 19 year old US citizen who is vacationing here?

It's the same principle. The sportsbooks are not located in the United States. When you login to whatever sportsbook, your computer has to exchange data with a server physically located in another country. How is it any different than you physically flying down to Costa Rica, walking up to a sportsbook, and placing a bet? Or walking into a brothel in CR and paying a prostitute for sex? It's all legal in Costa Rica, yet it's illegal in the United States. Should businesses in CR have to check citizenship and then familiarize themselves with every country's laws before they are allowed to do business with you?

I don't agree. To actually "gamble" you need to bet your own money. And remember the player is breaking zero US laws by playing at a sportsbook. So we basically give you an award/free gift, requires no deposit, and you play legally with no chance of loss,,,,hence no gambling.
