Changes coming to the SBR Points program, August 1st.

[spankie]

The US posters who are whinging at SBR about no free plays and not being able to buy points - take that up with your government... its not an SBR call! Either that or move into the free world (Canada, UK, Australia, NZ, even Mexicans can gamble without government intervention).

Coming from a non pro that makes you sound like a tool.

[ZetaPsi808]

I <3 sbr points

[durito]

We are not anti US. But the buy and sell option will only be available to those with A) an IP outside the US and B) players with a Moneybookers or Neteller account. Those two companies screen applicants thoroughly as to their location.

It will be against our rules for US citizens to buy and sell points as it is now. US citizens must use the store and agree to use the SBR points program strictly as a free loyalty program. Those rules will unfortunately be strictly enforced.

US citizens that reside outside the USA are allowed to open MB and Neteller accounts.

How about trivia ?? Are we have we still going to have it 2 times a week and do we have to roll those points over ??

[lolguy999]

im confused...

[Duff85]

Trolling for your 12 points with a useless post?

Where is anything i've said less valuable because i'm a non-pro?

[spankie]

Coming on here and suggesting that us "US" members go and take it up with our government is pretty classless and childish if you ask me.

Now fuk off you non pro.

I didn't get 12 points for any of these posts.

[Duff85]

No its not, its a simple fact.

I get sick of reading all of the "oh it sucks to be an American". Its just pure logic. Maybe a bit tough for you to wrap your head around. If you don't like the rules in America get them changed or move. Easy game.

Now run along troll boy.

[DennisGreen]

We are studying the price. I think we may peg them at 7 cents. There is no news on sportsbook cash for US citizens btw. The moment there is any update it will not be withheld.

Sweet that means pros can make $25.20 a month via points $306.60 a year for posting in a gambling forum, not too shabby

[Cap dat 4ss]

Duff i can tell with near certainty that you have never actually participated in getting a law changed or sat down with your local rep to discuss anything. And quit with the fallacy of thinking there are only two choices, changing laws or moving. Thats juvenile. You sound like a 22 year old fresh out of community college with a poli sci degree, all bug eyed and bushy-tailed.

ghosting is kinda juvenile, u sound like a ghost, oh yeah hey archie

[no1here]

and this ideal was suggested or originated from where? Are you gonna allow purchase of poker or sportsbook cash with points now not requiring rollover as pokerspace does with their point system?

[G's pks]

Glad to hear there will be no increase in store prices...I have given away a few nice gifts thanks to sbr...and will continue to.

[jmilacek]

Stop bitching about the US getting stiffed.

[gamemastere]

It was mentioned before that v*** prepaid gift cards might be added to the SBR store, is there any update or progress on if this will happen?

[onlooker]

There are other ways to make money from points for US members.

Find something you can purchase in the store, and have no problem selling for full retail (ex. iPad), and pocket that cash.

Good to hear "No price increase" until after Superbowl.

[JMobile]

So I can't turn Pro since I'm in the USA?

[onlooker]

So I can't turn Pro since I'm in the USA?

Yes you can.

Just no sportbook cash like always, since they changed that rule. And no buying or selling of points.

[mikejamm]

I would be more concerned with this scenario for poker rollovers. Pavy and JJ earned 500 points playing poker in a tourney. They go to the ring tables after joining a chat room. They proceed to play by themselves while discussing each others hands on chat until they both rollover 5X their 500 points by equally losing and winning the same amount of hands. Sure they will lose some small rake but they will roll it over in 5 minutes or less.

Yes and that's exactly what will happen! Stupid fuk'in bullshit! Now any points you win in a tourney, you then have to go spend more fuk'in time in a ring game just to get to use them? 5x rollover? Like most of us have all fuk'in day to spend playing ring games just to make a rollover! Well that's the fuk'in end of bullshit sbr poker for me! I'll stick to play'in at real cash sites, where my fuk'in time is actually worth something! No more sportsbook cash for US players, SBR now buying and selling points for non US members! What's the fuk'in sense of being a "Pro" here? The benefits are less and less and you guys keeps increasing the fuk'in hoops US members have to jump through just to try and build up some points! Fuk'in rollover is just another way of saying, "We wanna make sure you never get enough fuk'in points to buy any high point items.! I guess having to send out a few Ipads in the last month really stung you guys in the ass huh? Make up and change the fuk'in rules as you go along, until it finally benefits you to the maximum advantage. Contribute $200 and more to a sponsor book just to get continuously reamed! I'm fuk'in done here!

well thats easy to do when you scam sbr.


this "guy's" points should have been banned long ago for his antics

see ya tomorrow pal

[JMobile]

Well, this is going to be my second request. First one was declined....I don't know why?

[Glitch]

did thaddeus and mex pay sbr off or what

[DRZ]

Well looks like big changes ahead. I've got no problems with it. I'm still out points for todays trivia and posts though. lol

[Carseller4]

What happened to the $50-$100 ************? can't mention cards of credit.....wtf?

They never showed up in the SBR Store.

This can be used to fund our sportsbooks, indirectly of course. ie. ** GramMoney.....lol

[King Mayan]

I love adding the $200 charitable contribution. That must be in response to all the dumbasses who claimed they wouldnt become pro because they didnt want SBR to know their account numbers.

Same dumbasses who are more than happy to provide account numbers to join the free contests.

how about dumbasses that are stiffs??

[Wiggums5]

Well, this is going to be my second request. First one was declined....I don't know why?

It's probably because you didn't use the sbr link to sign up with the book?

[Cap dat 4ss]

Big picture boys. This is just part of the chamges. Rest will be implemented by new years. If you cant see whats coming it aint pretty for the US folk.

[SBR_John]

Ok How will SBR or myself Know the difference when i transfer them from my wallet to the sportsbook
I.e. I have 2000 points in my wallet before I come in 15th in BTP
than another 2000 points show up in my book wallet
will the software automatically know the diffrence

Yes the software will know.

In simple terms think of it as two wallets; your regular wallet and bonus wallet. If you have balances in both you will be asked which one would you like to use. When rollovers are met points will automatically transfer to your regular wallet.

[will2survive]

Home of the brave, land of the free. BS--Us Americans have to watch others be allowed to do things that we're not. It's a rub in the face.

[G's pks]

John you do a great thing for everyone here...and have alot more patience than me good job handling the cry babies...and once again thanks for your effort...

[SBR_John]

How about trivia ?? Are we have we still going to have it 2 times a week and do we have to roll those points over ??

Trivia points will be casino points.

[Tilt360]

So can US members loan points to someone?

[SBR_John]

Durito,
We will accept orders from those who have a MB or NT account and who have an IP outside the US.

[SBR_John]

So can US members loan points to someone?

Loans will be unaffected.
