SBR Store Cash And Freeplays

Why did they remove USA players ability to buy them anyway? I saw there was a NO US flag thingy there but I wrote it off as some kind of error.

no it's not an error sbr said USA players can no longer purchase cash or freeplays from the SBR Store ever since that black friday thing happened. they must be afraid of the USA Government coming after them

... i still think USA players should be able to buy cash or freeplays since it is with sbr points not like we're breaking any law. the whole thing is just a f*cking joke!

Now you can actually pay back all the people you stiffed since the points dont really mean that much to you, that would be the honorable thing to do or you can keep being a broke free loader who had to steal pennies from other posters.

If you are an American, you cannot get sportsbook freeplays or cash, where 1552 points will get you a $250 freeplay which can be used to make a sure profit of $187. Instead you can cash in 1062 points for a $50 gift card. Points worth $.12 ($187/1552 points) via free plays for non-Americans are worth ($50/1062 points) less than $.05 now to Americans. There are other options in the store, but these are the best values, I believe. (Unless you are a pizza eater - I have not checked on this as I don't care for pizza ). I cashed in my points for what freeplays I could get before Americans were excluded from them. I have since built up close to 3500 points, but hate to waste them on a nickle value item. I have been hoping the freeplays would return. When they were taken away, SBR stated that their lawyers would be looking over the legal situation, and maybe the freeplays would again be offered. This was a couple of months ago, and of course, we have heard nothing since. I guess the SBR lawyers are on summer vacation. I have seen many arguments from posters that sound convincing to me that SBR has no legal worries here, but SBR seems to have decided that they like the current situation as it relates to Americans and it does not look like Americans are going to get a fair deal with SBR points. There has been a lot of venting by Americans about this issue, but it is beginning to look to me like the Americans are just going to have to get used to being treated like second class citizens. Many are saying that they are going to give up their pro status. I was hoping that, if the freeplays do not return, that at least SBR would be willing to make the points for Americans worth $.12 per point when cashing in for gift cards - or something similar. However, after a couple of months with nothing, I am really disappointed.
