    I know I'm probably behind the times here, but for a long time I wasn't using my points...

    So If U.S. players can no longer buy sportsbook cash or freeplays with their points, what do people even care about points for anymore???

    Am I wrong, the ones I just checked in the store all said Not Available for U.S. residents...??!

    Are people really still crazy for points just for pizzas and polo shirts??? I must be missing something, someone clue me in please, thanks!

    Yep, no more Sportsbook cash or freeplays for US members.

    Other things to get with points for US members. So it is still worth it to be SBRpro.

      I like playing craps with 6 or 12 points and then yelling **** you when I roll a 7. It don't hurt my wallet, don't waste my day, don't make me fat - it's better than pizza.

          Wow, I'm blown away.

          I enjoy the casino but that was just to try and get my points up there to really use them for something...

          So what are the popular items?

          I don't get why people are still flipping out for points then... it can't be just about pizzas! OR, is most of SBR not U.S. residents? I thought it was about 90-95% U.S., am I way off?

                      Plenty of stuff in the store. If your most interested in cash, then redeem for a item that you know you can easily flip for retail. For example, a iPad.

                        Okay, cool. I wasn't complaining, just was surprised because I thought that most people were primarily interested in points in order to get cash in sportsbooks to roll over... So I was surprised that without those options people would still be so crazy about opportunities to get points.

                        Yes, I know there's still plenty to purchase with points, especially if you get them up there.

                        The problem (for me, since I love casino games) is that we all know the SBR casino will never really let you get up there -- I know this FIRSTHAND... from countless trials. It's lots of fun when you're making 1-, 2-, and 3-point bets. As soon as you go up to 25-point bets, no matter which game you're playing, you will lose about 7 of every 8 hands, or rolls, or spins, and then you are broke. Every time. But there is always the sportsbook I guess.

                          I know I was, but they forced me to go another route. If they bring sportsbook cash back for US members, I will definitely go back to it. It had more value per point.

                              Well for one, they were less points. So the value per point was better. I think for a item (Not pizza), the iPad holds the better value per point now for US members.

                                of course not really, but a 50 GC is 1100 points, 50 sportsbook cash was like 700.

                                anf the more your got the better deal, 250 SP cash was like 3100 points 250 in GC is like 5500.

                                                    That and I don't want to sign up at justbet to become pro, that's the only book I don't have account at and I heard they suck ass
                                                    Fastest payout I've ever received was from them, and I've been with about a dozen offshores. 4 hours from the time I requested the ** until the time the cash was in hand. Lines are tight, but I ran hot there.
