No, it's actually the other August 1 we have on the calendar, it's right after Pluto month and right before Pringles Week

Neteller is a good idea for non North Americans. I would like to suggest Insta-debit as a future option for us as well.

OK we will look into it.

On the August 1st subject; in techville a date is kind of an approximate. Poker points will test tomorrow and the rest will be added as they become available over the next couple of weeks.

**zert** · 07-31-11, 11:26 PM

Looks like it to me also, about posting

**meckis** · 07-31-11, 11:33 PM

Same here also, maybe changes will come later.

**The Bet Master** · 07-31-11, 11:34 PM

Disappointing, I guess you will all just have to read this post Im making now.

**InTheDrink** · 07-31-11, 11:43 PM

Death, taxes and sbr missing deadlines

**jkilla990** · 08-01-11, 12:00 AM

**Smogs** · 08-01-11, 12:03 AM

I liked not having the sportsbook, got my points tally up to 300

As John stated, poker points are being rolled out and tested today. The other changes may take a few weeks.

Was looking forward to getting my 12 points without having to post. Oh well.

Well, it turns out the deadline indeed is more like the August 1st before Pringles Week that the regular August 1st we have on our calendar...

**20Four7** · 08-01-11, 04:31 AM

John, for the charitable donation point, I hope you have some choices for those of us who don't live in the US. I would certainly make a $200 donation to Sick Kids Foundation in Toronto. But cancer, and a lot of others I have no use for because they are like a ponzi scheme to make money for the guys running it rather than paying for research etc.

**mighty maron** · 08-01-11, 05:02 AM

agree...nothing has been cured since polio

**Doc JS** · 08-01-11, 07:43 AM

Posting for points continues...

**pavyracer** · 08-01-11, 07:47 AM

I see no changes so far. The sportsbook went off for 2 weeks and it looks the same like before. Same as the casino. In fact everything else looks like before. The only thing that changed in the past 2 weeks was JJGOLD's status switching back and forth between Pro and non-Pro a dozen times.

did you not read the numerous posts from lou/john that it was nothing more then a behind the scenes server/computer upgrade? please show me 1 post from the admins saying that it was going to be NEW AND IMPROVED as far as looks goes. i'll wait patiently while you look

**Fire in da hole** · 08-01-11, 08:04 AM

Where can we make a donation and what documentation do we need to confirm?

**tmattis17** · 08-01-11, 08:05 AM

yea this is confusing

**SBR_John** · 08-01-11, 08:21 AM

Eliminate points given for first post. We will increase the amount of points given for a login visit to compensate. Non pros will still get 6 points a day and Pro's will get 12. The only net effect is a visitor is not required or offered incentive to post. (the forums are plenty busy)

Starts August 2nd.

**SBR_John** · 08-01-11, 08:25 AM

For players who so wish, the option to turn Pro by making a $200 a year charitable contribution will be made available. The regular option of depositing $200 in a sponsor sportsbook remains unchanged.
THIS WEEK

August 2nd

All poker contests will be given poker points as prizes. Prize levels will significantly increase as a result. Poker points must be rolled 5x 3x in the open play ring games before they are transferred to the regular points wallet.
Testing starts today

SBR will buy and sell SBR points. Sorry no US citizens may participate. Moneybookers and Neteller will be the only transfer options offered.
Testing starts mid week

**dlew2k** · 08-01-11, 08:26 AM
