Hello Admin,
I woke up this morning and I had a brilliant idea, which I would like to share with you.
I think it would be better if you create in the section MOB POINTS & AFFILIATE at this site: Buy Points, where the minimum buy in of MobPoints could be 1000 MobPoints = $10. We can use Neteller and Skrill to buy MobPoints. The maximum Buy In of MobPoints could be 10 000 = $100.
Why to create section like this? The answer is very simple. It will be for all the Mobsters who want to help Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) victims in the Phillipines.
If you create that section: Buy Points, it could be pleasant in future for other charity causes. It would be pleasant for creating BankrollMob Home Game Tournaments, where Mobsters would like to donate for the tournaments' przepool. That section Buy Points could be pleasant in future for other new games, if they appear.
Still, I don't have a Skrill account, but now there is a promotion for Bulgaria if I create a Skrill account and deposit $20, they will give $20 for free. If the section Buy Points exists, I could give $20 for the Phillipines charity, after creating the Skrill account.
Please, have a look at the photo which I created and you will see for what exactly I am talking about.
I hope you would like the idea and make it into reality.
Best Regards, Peter7878

That is a nice idea, but I don't quite get the point - there's already heaps of ways you can (easily) donate to help victims of the typhoon, or for that matter - to loads of other charitable causes.. I don't see the point of BRM investing in the resources to allow this functionality, when in reality - hardly anyone would donate much actual money anyway.
If you want to give $20 toward Philippines charity - just have a look online, there's loads of ways to do it.

The point is that we can buy points, but not only for charitable causes, like I mentioned it before. Now I have only 10 MobPoints, but I want to buy 50 tickets for the Mob Draw, or I want to buy 20 Mob Shots for the Mob Safe, but now I have only 10 MobPoints.
If that option exists, I can buy some MobPoints and play the Mob Safe and the Mob Draw. Of course this option could be used for charitable causes, as well.

Now do you get my point?
Another point is that someone who has let's say 3800 mob points but really want to cashout it, he can't because the min is 5000 mob points so that's where he could use this option to put money in his mob account which indeed will be converted to mob pints and you know the rest...

Correct.
Also, if we introduce a whole other way of adding Mob Points into the system, we would need to re-think everything related to Mob Points. Right now, everything is more or less "in balance" because the amount of Mob Points in the system, going back and forth is "somewhat predictable", that would not be possible if users can just buy and add points at any given time.
So no, thanks for the idea, but this is not something we will be going ahed with at this time. In the future, who knows

I know admin has already said no.. But I'll tell you the other major issue; it would mean people could buy the amount of mob points they required to proceed with a cash-out, which would be no good.
For example - somebody has 3,000 mob points, they buy another 2,000 for $20 and then they can cashout $50.00, with a $30 profit to them.
This would completely negate the minimum cashout requirement, which would be terrible for BRM - everyone would be cashing out all the time, costing BRM a small fortune!

Well then how about a small adjustment to the idea? The points you buy can be used in the mob games and ONLY in the mob games, they can not add to your points available for cashout. The only way for that is to play, say, the mob draw and the winnings from that would be possible to cashout. You can use the bought points to buy shots for the safe as well.
I think this could cancel out the negative effect of people buying points to cashout and it might also benefit BRM since not everyone who buy points and use them in the games will win.
