    Is Being an SBR PRO Pointless Now For US Players
    I don't see any reason to renew now since SportsBook Rewards have been discontinued.

                      Being a pro still has lots of benefits.

                                  The "cash to point" value goes down now. Unless prepaid cards are added at a good price. This throws a knuckle ball in what I was doing.

                                  I'm not sure why contest prizes are fine, but rewards through SBRpoints are not.

                                  Again. I hope this is temporary, and sportsbook rewards come back soon for US residents.

                                    I will probably renew because of the other things available here. I sure think they are going to find a way to be able to give us some nice bonuses through the books even though it is getting harder and harder to get funds there these days. I am sure they are going to keep changing things on this. I am positive that prepaid cards will be an option then you can use it at any book you choose.

                                        Most of us with deposit in the future anyways so might as well reup at an SBR sponsored book and continue being a SBR Pro!

                                          It doesn't take a freaking lawyer to realize that cashing in points for sportsbook cash is not illegal. No where in this transaction is a bank involved.

                                          SBR over reacting.

                                            pro still is a good deal and you will have to reup anyway.

                                                Why would I want to load up with a new book when I can just reloaded with one of the three that I already bet at. To renew you PRO status you have to deposit with a sponsored book that you do not already have an account with.

                                                    great point. and SBR is saying only stay with a, a+ books... either theyll have to rewrite this rule or alot of people won't be going PRO from US this fall.

                                                        There is still cash...just different ways to get it. We'll have cash cards, have the store cards, and then pretty much anything you might want to buy with em available as merchandise.

                                                          Will they be reasonable though. $50 Bodog sports cash 730 points, $50 Target gift card 1062 points. I would reason a $50 cash gift card would be about the same amount of points as the value of the gift cards already in the store.

                                                            If your here just for free plays I would think you should not be gambling .

                                                              Sportsbook cash/freeplays were the most desirable of the items in the store, but there are still plenty of other good stuff in there. As long as those items stay put, fine with me.

                                                                They changed that rule for the ones that are already PRO I thought.Christ,did they change that again?If so I agree.Greek,Betjam and Diamond is all I use now,no way I deposit at some of the crap up top just for pro status.
