| I’ve registered, what do I do now? |
| Feel free to jump in and post about an experience you have with a Sportsbook, a game you are thinking about playing or general sports comments. Also remember to check your in-box for an e-mail from SBR sent to confirm your e-mail address. Without confirmation, your account could be restricted or suspended. |
| What if I forget my password? |
| If you attempt to sign on without the correct password, a large gray box should appear telling you so, and there will be a link directing you if you have forgotten your password. If you continue to have trouble or require further assistance, e-mail assistance@sportsbookreview.com. |
| I’m having problems with a specific Sportsbook. What should I do? |
| You should fill out the complaint form at our parent site, SportsbookReview. You might also search that site for recent news wires about sportsbooks, and you can search inside the forum (message board) to read posts by other users who may have experienced the same trouble. |
| Oh, so there are more SBR sites than the message board? |
| Yes, we operate several different information sites from the message board, to our Sportsbook Reviews, to a SBRforum.com free picks site offering analysis by several well-known handicappers to our SBR Odds. |
| What’s an avatar? |
In computer jargon an avatar is a small graphic that in some way represents the poster. It might be a logo of their favorite sports team or a photo of a celebrity or a real-life photo of the poster themselves. If the user chooses to select an avatar, either from those we have on file at SBR or by uploading from their own computer, the graphic will appear just under the poster’s ID each time he or she posts. We do not allow animated avatars, full frontal nudity or avatars promoting other websites. And if you choose to make your own, remember they must be no larger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels (100kb) and you can upload it through your control panel (User CP) located near the top-left of the page once you’re signed in. If you need additional help with avatars, don’t hesitate to contact a moderator or admin at the site. |
| How do I add a signature to my posting account? |
| Like avatars, signatures can be added or changed through the User CP function. We do not allow images or photos in signature lines, nor do we allow links to sites outside SBR or promotional material of any nature. Opinions are welcome in relevant threads. Again, if you have any questions or problems, contact a moderator or admin. |
| What’s a PM? |
PM stands for 'private message.' Registered users have access to this feature which allows posters to interact in private, much like sending an internal e-mail when visiting SBR. Be advised that PMs are routinely monitored in order to protect SBR and the posters. Private messages may not be used for any commercial or illegal activity, nor can they be used to recruit SBR posters to other websites. If and when these violations in our terms of service occur, PM privileges will be revoked. |
| What about contests at SBR? |
| SBR offers a great variety of handicapping contests for its members to have fun, challenge each other and win prizes. Posters are also free to engage in their own ‘head-to-head’ contests or track records of their fellow handicappers. However, SBR cannot and will not organize, oversee nor mediate any of the unofficial contests and challenges. Furthermore, all monetary and/or prize arrangements between posters should be kept separate from the message board. This includes the use of private messages for said arrangements and discussion. There are several betting exchanges available that would be safe and efficient for these types of contests. SBR reserves the right to limit or prohibit restricted posting accounts from participating in forum-hosted contests. |
| What about SBR Points? |
SBR posters can accrue points in various ways, from simple activity on the message board to blogging picks for upcoming sporting events to taking part in and winning contests. Check the SBR Points forum for specific ways points are awarded. General rules and guidelines for points are as follows: 1) Points can be redeemed in the SBR Store. 2) Points cannot be bought and sold between posters. Posters are reminded that no personal business or commerce can be conducted on the SBR family of sites, including the PM system. 3) Posters that share the same household and IP cannot transfer points between each other. |
| Are there any other rules about what can and cannot be posted on the message board? |
Yes there are. The descriptions for each of the forums should give a general idea about the subject matter in each forum. Players Talk is at the top of the list and is for general discussion from serious sports and handicapping topics to normal everyday water cooler talk. The Think Tank and State of the Industry forums are for more serious discussions as their descriptions imply. These two forums, along with the sports specific forums, are more heavily moderated to keep discussions on topic. We do not allow for posting of personal information (addresses, phone numbers, etc) in any forum. Re-posting of material from other message boards, sexually explicit comments and graphics, and racist or hate-mongering posts will be moved to the Private Zone which is not moderated. Spam and promotional links will be moved to the Promotions & Links Forum. If you wish to advertise with SBR outside that forum, contact a moderator or admin to be put in touch with the right people. We welcome lively and passionate debate, but when the posts turn simply personal in nature, SBR reserves the right to either edit or move those posts as seen fit. If anyone sees a thread or post that appears out of line, please report the post using the These rules and terms of service may be modified without prior notice by SBR. |
