Poker rollover chit chat

I'm just curious John what's the point of only allowing the rollover to be done in poker? Are you guys trying to get more ring and sng participation for the poker program? or are you thinking it's too easy for people to roll it over in the sportsbook?

If they make you have to rollover in the ring games then they get some of those points back due to the rake

Ah. Maybe then a 5x rollover for those who would like to rollover through the sportsbook? I assume they'd make back the same amount as the rake in poker? Just a thought.

Well lets see, Sbr had had a Sunday tourney with a 22 point entry fee (1452pts). They made a 132 points off the rake, and divided up the remaining 1320 points among the winners with no fuk'in rollover! So why not just charge an entry fee, make your fuk'in rake and stop with the stupid rollover bullshit! I'd say that's a pretty good turn out for a Sunday. I'd rather pay an entry fee with no rollover, than have to be forced to re win points already won. Since you're so damn worried about giving out points, just charge an entry fee and fuk the rollover!

SBR, please allow bonus points won in more than one tournament to be combined for buy-ins in the point games.

The tournaments are a fun thing to do while I peruse SBR in the morning and check my email, but the rollover takes so long to complete at stakes below 5/10 that the tournies aren't worth the time it takes to rollover the bonus. If multiple bonuses could be combined for buy-ins at 5/10 then posters would be able to clear the tournament winnings in more reasonable amounts of time. With the way it is currently, winnings from only one tournament aren't large enough for a non-short stack buy-in at 5/10, especially for non first place finishes.
