I have this same issue with Bovada. I had an account but it was disabled because of inactivity or something. What should we do with regards to this event?

10k-20k poker point prizes will never get rolled over.

[horja1]

10k-20k poker point prizes will never get rolled over.

maybe SBR will let us rollover 1-2k points at one time and release the points after the rollover for these points is completed, and then the next 1-2k points, and so on ...

[slikec]

10k-20k poker point prizes will never get rolled over.

They will when those players that got them will play each other HU

[PaperTrail07]

good stuff

[milwaukee mike]

awesome prizes, good luck everyone

i think i would rather get 11th or even 12th place than 10th

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Can't wait!

10k-20k poker point prizes will never get rolled over.

What are the rollover requirements? Ive only played 1 SBR tourney and won 225. I played the cash game for maybe 30 minutes before itwas rolled over. So based on that it would about about 40 hours of play to release 20k. Maybe more for sports bettors thats a eternity but thats 3 days for a poker player. I understand theres a liquidity issue in sbr poker though

[Koldazzice]

just set up the 20k poker points into 20 1k cashes. that way you unlock 1k at a time.

Thx again sbr for another poker series

[Bcatswin]

Yeah that 20k poker rollover is insane.

Hi guys,

Thank you for the feedback.

We believe the $1,000 max tables will allow for rollover to be cleared quite easily, but of course not all prizes are created equal. I'd expect more people to gun for first though than be concerned with place XX. =)

In addition, we are open to rolling out larger limit tables if need be to accommodate users should a demand be there. Nobody is putting a gun to your head (less you're in point debt?) to pull a marathon session to clear rollover in record-timing.

What's the deal with Bovada? I played Bodog back in the day, but haven't for years. Do I just dredge out my old Bodog account number? Or do I need to sign up for a new account at Bovada?

They are different companies. You can't use Bodog in the US.

We just need an account and depositing is not required?

Correct. You must create a valid account from the sponsor link provided.

Mine turned out to be the same login as my old bodog. Apparently a few cents from bowmans was sent there too lol. Looking forward to another great SBR Poker Championship.

Can anyone explain why 11th place gets paid out more than 5th - 10th?

And why does 12-14 also gets paid out more than 10th, etc..

Are these just typos or is there something I'm missing?

[GUMMO77]

I believe the payouts look the way they do is because "poker points" need to be rolled over, while SBR points do not. So that is why you see the difference in points.

I'm sure Lou will come in here and clear and explain it better to you.

[Al Masters]

As a Canadian can i submit a Bodog account # that is not used very often?

Thanks Gummo, I missed that distinction between SBR and poker points.

[SBR Lou]

Thanks Gummo, I missed that distinction between SBR and poker points.

Correct, the poker points need to be rolled over 3 times. The SBR Point winnings are free and clear, available for immediate usage.

I never see people playing $1,000 max table. It seems like the majority of cash game players are rolling over points and the top point prize from tournaments isnt sufficient to play $1,000 Max. If you break down the 60k rollover into 2k/5k bunches it will allow people to feel like there actually gaining some ground and not just twiddling there thumbs.

We'll cross the bridge when we get there and will try to accommodate the winner(s) as much as possible, within reason.

+1 LOU can u clear this up.

[daneblazer]

the prize orders make no sense 20k points is way better than 1k cash. 20k poker points is was better than 7k points

Yeah really. Give me the 20k poker points. If you have any cash game skill at all, they're just as good as regular points on these tables. It's not like you're sitting down against the high stakes poker crew. You can roll them over quicker than you think playing 2/4 and 5/10

[daneblazer]

Is the cash prize transferred to your Bovada account? If it is, is that treated as a bonus and do you have to roll that over?

[dogracin]

11 weeks of tourneys, thx SBR

[racer43]

Bovada doesn't allow Canadians to open an account.... no tournament for your neighbors to the north??

The first post tells you what to do.

is that for me?

[BeerDog99]

Lou replied to me in PM, you can use your bodog account. I think you have to sign up through SBR for bodog though.
