Hey there Mobsters, I've been gone for a while so I'm not sure if this subject has been covered recently or not. So I figured I'd ask. This one is mainly for you Tony(Admin). What is BRM doing or letting their US players do with their Mob Points? I only ask bc I am very close to 5000, which if I remember correctly was equal to 50$ on a poker site. Or was. I apprecciate any input on this matter thanks & gl on the felt.

As the situation is right now unfortunately you cant do anything so far. There is no way on cashing out your points from BRM at the moment. Ask Greenmohave and will tell you about it

Thanks Mober! I figured Green would know. He mentioned something about transfering points & how he couldn't do it. So I assumed that there wasn't much we could do. That's unfortunate. I hold out hope that the US will get their s**t together soon. Thanks again though.

Perosnally I don't know every single thing there is to know about the US situation, but if you're unable to cashout with our current cashout options, then there's not much else to do at the moment. It's not "your right" to be able to cashout, like it's not "your right" to be allowed to create a Mob account to begin with etc. We don't hide the cashout options until you reach the limit, so you are able to do your research before putting too much effort into earning Mob Points.
With that said, hopefully it can't get any worse than it is - let's see if not things start to improve and US players eventually will begin to be able to use one of our current cashout options, or we might be able to support more options in the future.

Thank you for the quick response, Administrator. secondly I would like to apologize if I came off as smug, like cashing out mob points was my "right". I was simply inquiring about what the situation was here at BRM as I have been absent for a few months, that is all. Again I thank you for your immediate response, and let us hope that yes this is the worst it gets for US players. Also one quick question, I am now residing in the state of Missouri, am I correct in assuming that this is a state I can utilize some of the current offers from BRM? Thanks again for your help.

Everyone has pretty much provided the answers to the question, but to elaborate on it a bit. I setup an account through Moneybookers and they will not allow or should say the U.S. has put a stop to allowing any U.S. citizen to use their services to cashout from any site affiliated with poker or gambling in general. I also, attempted to utilize Neteller and they won't even allow me to open an account.
I was hoping in the future BRM might be able to setup the same type of exchange as they have with some of the other poker sites allowing us to transfer our Mobpoints to our poker account. For me I would like this to be setup through Carbon poker, but I'll just save the Mobpoints and look at them as pochui stated. Good Luck and nice having you back in the forum.
We did send out a newsletter to our US members 2 days ago with US-only specific offers, and as I recall, the two above were the only NDB's it contained, for poker.

Hello hoodi Well as you have already been told US players can not used their mobpoints right now. Greenmohave has over 20000 mobpoints banked up so once the US players are once again able to play again he will have a sweet like bankroll to work from. I recommend that you do the same just work away at building up a nice nest egg of points and then when the time comes you are good to go mate. Be cool and best of luck building them mobpoints upward.
