came in 5th in a sit-n-go.. where are the points?

[knight]

Hey everyone,

I'm relatively new to SBR. I've been playing in a few sit-n-gos the past couple weeks, and I came in 5th place yesterday at the 3PM tourney. It says I won 200 points, but they are not appearing in my poker wallet; all I see when I open the cashier window is a pending promo for "MTT 5th place," with a pending status. What does this mean?

Thanks in advance for help.

They need to be rolled over x3. When you go to sit at a cash table a box will pop up to buy in. Click on the rollover tab to use them

Welcome to SBR Knight. Nice place by the way. It's just what 4uk4life just said. If you have any issues... let us know.

Thanks for the replies. So I can't use the points to enter tournaments? I guess I'm unfamiliar with the concept of rollovers. Could someone please explain that to me?

No, we can't use any of the pts we win in a tournament for other tournament entries until we roll them over and they are cleared. Any pts you win in a tournament, say 100, you have to go to the cash table and roll them over x3 so you'd have to play 300 pts at the cash table using that rollover.

Once you've done that, any amount you have remaining, whether it's 50 points left or 250, you get to keep and they become real pts that you can do whatever you want with.

Also as a non pro, you are only allowed to play at the cash tables with rollover you have won from a tournament. Only Pro members can sit at a cash table with real pts. So once you roll your pts over and leave the cash table, you cannot return again until you cash another tournament.


Hope this helps and isn't too confusing. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.
