I deposited 2,000 at a book i never would have. i assumed becasue of beat the prick i would get a 15% sbr bonus and eligabilty for beat the prick. now i am being told that i may not get these becasue while i did everything properly, when i created my account at the book, i may not have clicked on the sbr link to the book. i may have simply typed in the books webste. i have pmed Sean (a moderator) and he tells me if i did this i may not be eligable. i would feel very screwed by sbr if this happened. i feel tricked into a deposit of a large amount of my moeny. i dont even think it said you must click on our link, going to the site is no good. i am nervous as hell over this. 2k is a lot of money. whats the deal here??

you need to click on the link when signing up for these things so sbr will get their fair share cut on your bad beats this year sirComment -
I checked with "CLoo" about the very thing and it does say clearly that you have to go to the site via SBR's links... I made sure I did that so get the wallet out SBR...

Which book?Comment -
Hi Bubba,Originally posted by bubba
It says right under step one, "once you've decided on your new book, click that sponsor's link or banner and you'll be directed to their website".
I'm not sure why you wouldn't click the links that say "Join Here" through the registration screen, but if you elected not to and decided to type in the URL yourself as you said, then unfortunately you didn't properly sign up for this contest bud.

SBR wouldn't screw you.Comment -
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you have to signup through them to be eligible/collect the bonus. If you are nervous about depositing that amount of money then perhaps you should have deposited less. You may be able to contact the book and tell them that you meant to signup through SBR. Maybe they will accomodate you...Comment -
Typing in the URL "was a bad choice"Comment -
i may have, not sure. in my mind i clicked on the link and it was a bad one so i just typed in the site. i told the website and sbr that i was doing this for the contest. it should have said in huuuuGGGGGGE LETTERS THAT I NEEDED TO CLICK ON THE LINK. IN THE RULES UNDER GETTING STARTED IT JUST SAYS THIS:. no mention of needing to click on their link. i feel scrwed here
Contestants are required to open a NEW sportsbook account with one of the following sponsors (in accordance with the rules and policies of each book) and make a minimum deposit of $100 (pre-existing accounts do not qualify):- In addition to any promotions

If he was trying to sign up at The Pig, he should get a pass since your link was broken. Was it The Pig, Bubba?Comment -
Right, and had you clicked any of those links, instead of typing in the URL yourself, this wouldn't be an issue here bud. Was the link you clicked broken? What did it say when you tried clicking?Originally posted by bubbaComment -
I May Have Read It. Lots Of Times In Life Links Are Just To Make Things Easeir For The Reader. Not Neccessary. In Fact, Almost Always. I Think The Link Didnt Even Work Properly When I TriedComment -
Yes It Was The PigComment -
I Thought It Lead Me To A Differnt Site. Thats What I Think HappenedComment -
pig link was screwed up... this guy deserves his bonusComment -
yea it took u to legendz right?Comment -
I Think Its A No Brainer Even If Link Was Fine But It Was Broken!!Comment -
Give him the bonus or I'm not depositing.
Not worth the risk of not getting it.Comment -

do the right thing here sbr...Comment -
Guys, from the original post and what he details happening it wasn't completely clear why he typed in the link himself. That's what caused the original responses to his case, SBR isn't trying to "screw" anybody here and we'll address this broken link situation officially soon. It's almost 10PM right now so we can't expect instant fixes to situations which may arise after hours.Comment -
Fair enough. I have full confidence that SBR will do the right thing here.Comment -
ok crazy. just to be clear, i didnt give the link much thought. i just assumed sign up and give sbr your user ID, no big deal. i had NO CLUE that it would matter at all or anybody would even be able to tell. the link didnt work so i just typed in my site. gave it 0 thought, i didnt think there would be a difference. if i did, i would have contacted sbr obviously. this has been a frustrating few hoursComment -
Give Him The Bonus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Comment -
What about when SBR John said because of the government that posters would never again be required to deposit for contests?Comment -
SBR is very honest
They will help as much as possibleComment -
The rules are not clear on this matter. They need to be redone.
I was about to make a deposit at a book I signed up at for the 128 man handicap contest, but I have no idea if I clicked the link at the top of the page.
My experience in the past with those links has been they are inconsistent.Comment
