    SBR Store discontinuing sportsbook rewards
    As of May 30th, 2011, hopefully only temporarily, US based posters will not be offered sportsbook credits, or freeplay bonuses from the SBR Store.

    SBR will still allow non-US citizens to purchase sportsbook offered free plays and cash promotions.

    We have hired new legal council to advise us on if allowing US citizens to use loyalty points to purchase these type of products violates any portion of the new laws. We do not think it does but want to be sure. Hopefully they will be back on the shelves soon.

              That sucks. That was my main reason for betting SBR points. Guess I have to go after an iPad now. 12 pts a day, I should be there soon.

                      My guess is that the whole point system will be gone before football starts. S b r can simply not afford it. The good times are over my friends.

                                Because posters were not using their money to post up with

                                Many guys were just betting points looking for free plays

                                      For now we'll have the non-us books and will add some cool new prizes to the store for everyone. Points aren't going anywhere. This is going to be the most fun football season at SBR no matter where you are located.

                                        i can understand not giving freeplays... but maybe looking into a 100% match of an actual deposit that could be purchased... or something similar.

                                            That means that US players will be able to not get any free money to play with this coming football season. I think it would be a good idea now to offer some new items in the store.

                                              So if points disappear will you still be considered a deadbeat stiff dbag or just a cokk loving load receptacle?

                                                  Add a couple of nice sets of golf irons, maybe a few different drivers, put some other cool stuff up as well.

                                                          Downsouth it would a good idea to have maybe some items like that. Some new gift certificates to some businesses would be an idea.
