Many of us created accounts at 5 dimes, Bet Jamaica, Bookmaker, etc. for the 128 man handicapping tourney, as it was required to enter the tournament. Many of us have not funded all of these books.

Fast forward to the Beat The Prick contest, these books are listed under sponsor books but depositing only into new accounts is eligible for Beat The Prick. I would rather stick to the 3 books I listed above, no offense to books like Intertops or The Pig...

Could you make exception if we signed up for a book for the 128 man Tourney, and haven't funded it yet? It's almost like we are being penalized for playing in the 128 man tourney.

If you signed up through those sponsor links provided by SBR in the 128 man capp-off, yes it can count. If not, you would have to choose another.

Bill, can I PM someone my 5dimes or BetJam account number and you all verify I signed up through you all before I post up for the intention of being eligible to play?

Sorry that I couldn't better assist you sooner, but this new revision was just recently made.

Best of luck in the contest.

I think this is a great decision by SBR!

Yeah this seems a bit confusing as I'm not sure many will remember exactly which link they signed up through. I know I always try to cite SBR under the "How did you hear about us" question.

I have a account at 5Dimes which I never funded. If I deposit $100 for the Beat the Prick contest, will this be eligible?

The only exemptions to the rule are players who opened an account through SBR for the 128 man contest. In your case, you'd have to pick one of the other sponsors from the contests page.

If you clicked the sign up link posted in the thread, you used the proper link. There's going to be a clarification sticky of sorts on some of these topics coming shortly.

Yes, since you opened the account through SBR for a recent Boomaker contest your unfunded account would be eligible.

Ty Crazy, when is the deadline for deposits to be made?

It was just discussed the other day that people can join after the season starts, but they may lose eligibility to qualify for the season ending prizes because they won't have accumulated as many points as other contestants. So from a strategy standpoint, it makes the most sense to get the deposits in before week 1 of the NFL, but you can always get them in during the season and participate for the weekly prizes.
