SBR Store discontinuing sportsbook rewards

**ArunSh** · 05-31-11, 10:30 AM

Any idea when the recent orders will be processed? Would be nice to have that $ available for NBA Finals!

Allow 1-3 business days. Keep in mind that yesterday was a legal holiday, so we had an extended weekend.

I redeemed 3040 points to $250 at TheGreek
Order completed 05/29
So far no $$ in my account.
Any other problems?

**yisman** · 05-31-11, 12:34 PM

The order was placed on Friday, May 27. Give it until Thursday and see if it's in by then.

Order complete means from SBR's end, I believe. Sometimes the sportsbook takes additional time to credit it.

I can't wait to buy FPs and/or cash at Pinny. That'll be awesome.

No, it was enabled as a test while we geo-target the coming offers to non-US citizens.

**chilidog** · 05-31-11, 12:49 PM

Coming soon: Chilidog's IP-tunneling service. Make it appear like you're in Costa Rica.

j/k sbr

Bruce / Benjamin please reread my quote again ...

I did not mention or reference UIGEA at all. If it came to it, SBR would be forced to admit that the points scheme is not free to run and therefore a point HAS a cost factor/value associated to it. I'd even wager someplace SBR maintains a running value in their statement of accounts as to the current exposure/cost of current outstanding point balances as a future contingent liability with a setaside.

I can almost hear your argument ... "Yes your honor, we have these point things, and even though we consider them a financial liability as everyone could cash them in for TVs or Segways tomorrow and we'd have to pay for those items, and even though you can google and read posts about us thinking about allowing non-US citizens to purchase points directly for cash, and even though X number of points has always equated to Y dollars of value when we DID so sportbook cash conversions, they aren't REALLY a cash proxy so ..."

Good luck on that one sunshine, I for one wouldn't want to be trying to fight that battle from that standpoint.

**SBR Lou** · 05-31-11, 03:04 PM

The cash plays are being added back with non-US disclaimers. Soon the categories won't be visible on a per-country basis. Ineligible orders will be canceled.

So I ordered a sportsbook cash for Betjamaica and this morning my order was "complete" but when I contacted betjamaica they said they haven't received any info from SBR yet and to contact SBR about the issue. What could be the problem?

**thirtytwo** · 05-31-11, 05:09 PM

Lou took care of my Monday request and my betjm cash already credited. Thanks Lou!

**mighty maron** · 05-31-11, 07:01 PM

thanks mods!

however, you are incorrect on virtually every point, legally speaking.

**kfranz31** · 05-31-11, 07:47 PM

No word on bodog yet?????

**spankie** · 05-31-11, 07:49 PM

you guys should geo cache a fuking sub forum for the non-us players so you dont rub it up all in the enraged US players faces.

**Lo$t** · 05-31-11, 07:50 PM

Guess I'm going to finally get Justin's Conquering Cwissy book.

**rufflesmuncher** · 05-31-11, 07:57 PM

The problem with doing that is obvious though, if they had a cash value assigned to outstanding points, then every time somebody bet in the SBR Book....

If that's supposed to imply they have been added back already, then I can't see them from Australia...

Really ... interesting if so even though SBR obviously for accounting sets a value on the pool ... hmmm

**MUHerd37** · 06-01-11, 02:35 AM

If SBR isn't located in the U.S. then how would SBR putting money in our accounts be illegal?

**chachi** · 06-01-11, 02:37 AM

because SBRs fulfillment team operate out of the USA and UIGEA makes it illegal to perform a financial transaction for benefit of a US resident with regards to online gambling.

**jairocon** · 06-01-11, 02:49 AM

I still don't see any freeplay/cash sportsbook entries (non-US) in the store, but I'll wait. Is it official that there will be pinna cash offered? If that were true - that would be absolutely awesome.

**Slainte** · 06-01-11, 04:21 AM

Non-us here, have the following options betjamaica/legends/betonline 50-250 cash, sportbet/betjamaica 50-250 freeplay, that's it.

Those are the ones I see as well. But give them some time - they'll be doing the best they can to get more options available, I'm sure. At least for today, it's a start.

**LegitBet** · 06-01-11, 04:40 AM

Hope this doesn't turn Into some overpriced boutique, a faux Sharper Image of sorts.
SB frees and cash truly made sense because they are our currency.
I'm really not interested in saving points towards a discontinued overpriced foot massager.

**qukubau** · 06-01-11, 04:42 AM

it is ok if we can buy cash at betjamaica. thanks sbr!
