SBR Store discontinuing sportsbook rewards

**clonecat** · 05-29-11, 09:29 AM

Can the US take over websites off books located in Costa Rica?

**denn333** · 05-29-11, 10:12 AM

They can do whatever they please.

**aceking** · 05-29-11, 10:21 AM

Have not heard that in a while.. Maybe this is US Government's tactic to prevent immigrants jumping our borders.
Looks like it's working...

oh well... fun while it lasted.

People...what is wrong with you??? You don't have $50 to your name??.You have to come here a bitch, wyne and moan about free cash. In order to win points you have to wager...Deposit 50 dollars into your favorite book and wager, who's stopping you? I will guarantee you...you will get the same result.

Obviously you can. I was explaining to the guy that there was no reason for it to be any better to have already ordered a PS3, because that's not affected by this change.

Everything can still be ordered except for the Sportsbook cash/free plays (for Americans).

Will we be allowed to travel overseas to trade our points in for sportsbook cash? Canada is only a couple hours away.

**Spanks** · 05-29-11, 11:17 AM

not good...

**chachi** · 05-29-11, 11:23 AM

Anyone who voted for anyone who is currently sitting in the House, Senate or White House has only themselves to blame.

I'd love to see the alleged linkage between a legitimate offshore wagering business and any aspect of the Patriot Act challenged in Federal court ... sadly, not gonna happen

**no1here** · 05-29-11, 11:35 AM

instead of running SBR could of gave the sites the money access that they need. PS another forum, has point system where we can use points to deposit into some sites. Why are we going backwards when we could fight.

They can seize any domain name that is within their jurisdiction (doms handled by verisign and afilias as well as any domain registered with a US registrar), they have control over most IP addresses controlled by ARIN, and if you are hosting with a US webhost, they can have your site shutdown.

To me, if the US Government truly wanted to prevent US citizens from gambling, instead of placing the burden on US banks, it would just order ISPs to block access to the sportsbooks themselves. Or maybe deal directly with MAE-East/West.

**chachi** · 05-29-11, 12:04 PM

which is basically what the French did and it's worked a hell of a lot better than the US approach

**Dark Horse** · 05-29-11, 03:41 PM

Who the f*ck is bobbyfk? I offered to give my points away to those who were close to a cash or fp bonus, and this guy removes my post and gives me a warning for point selling. SBR, you're now into moderators who can't even read?

**PingPong** · 05-29-11, 03:43 PM

so i can still order a freeplay today right?

**Cuse4tw** · 05-29-11, 03:45 PM

got my last freeplay....sad day but o well

**FlipK11** · 05-29-11, 04:26 PM

Pre-paid mastercards would be AWESOME. Im a new member here but thus far im really enjoying this site, and hope to go pro within the next couple months (before football season, for sure at the latest). I think pre paid mastercards, pizzas, and apparel alone would be enough to keep new members going pro (except the cheap ones), i plan to anyways because i like alot of the stuff SBR has in it's store.

All of the negative stuff directed at SBR isn't right. I'm 99% sure many of them didn't see Black Friday coming. If they did I'm sure WE would have known about it.

I'm not here to stir the pot but I'm just saying get all the facts before you started banging on the SBR front office. They've made this forum the most interesting and profitable one on the web. And in my opinion the SBR pro is a great program. It was well worth the investment.

**kfranz31** · 05-29-11, 06:35 PM

as long as i can get the pizza we r good

**chemicalbrother** · 05-30-11, 01:58 AM

yo i thought we had all day today to decide? why are freeplays/cash disabled in the store????

you told us we had until the end of the day today, now they're disabled??

wtf?

**chemicalbrother** · 05-30-11, 02:00 AM

yeah, boooooooooooooo.

both sections empty on the store.

a lot of us have been lining up everything, getting points in one place, etc. thinking that we had all day to figure it all out. i'm just getting ready to go to sleep and wanted to check one more time the numbers on bodog cash and now it's not available?

gaaaaaaaaaay.

open it back up for the rest of the day like you SAID you would pls.

**BranchDavidian** · 05-30-11, 02:11 AM

Guess you can't trust anybody!

**Pajda** · 05-30-11, 02:27 AM

Gift cards, here we go.

**horja1** · 05-30-11, 02:39 AM

seems sportscash/freeplay is gone for everbody (US and non-US) atm ...

**Naz18** · 05-30-11, 02:42 AM

That sucks, but this was bound to happen, I'm not surprised.

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 05-30-11, 02:46 AM

Wow was gonna get a freeplay ..today wanted to build up points for better one than legends........what gives..notice says we have untill the 30th...did u mean 1201am est???

**bill2266** · 05-30-11, 03:08 AM

wow thats sad hopefully comes back for football

**Slainte** · 05-30-11, 03:09 AM

Sportsbook freeplays/cash disabled for everybody not just for US players

**tblues2005** · 05-30-11, 03:17 AM

I like the gift card idea really well here. That sounds awesome to me. You can use it at any book you choose or even use it anywhere you please. I just hope it does not cost a ton of points to get them though.
