Sportsbook.com hiding freerolls from US players
 
I play at Sportsbook.com quite often as it is a soft site and I like the software..However I recently logged in and went under the Freerolls section and saw the following freerolls which i had never seen before.
$25 early morning freeroll
$500 Bankroll Satellite
$250 late night freeroll
$50 freeroll
I know for a fact I had never seen any freerolls like this before at this site, So i was very confused, I registered for the 25$ early morning freeroll and the $500 bankroll satellite, and took a screenshot of my registration. I logged out to do something and when i logged back in presto! the freerolls were gone, but I still had my tounrs registered already, So it brought me to my table and very weird, everyone was russsian. Speaking russian and using russian type( like backwards letter and such). Supposedly sportsbook.com only lets US players play..US players at sportsbook.com only get a few crappy gold card and gold chip freerolls, I think some bug in their software let me see something I shouldnt have, my screenshot proves i was registered for tournies no US players has seen and I saw the other freerolls as mentioned above....very weird....US players are getting the shaft..we spend money there and get a few crappy freerolls while some other country is getting 4-10 daily freerolls for for $25-$1000 not being offered to us...also sportsbook.com says is only accepts US players but here i was sitting with 300 obviously Russian players speaking russian with russian with russsian type fonts...Also when i talked to customer service they told me they dont offer the freerolls I mentioned so I said Ill send you a screenshot of the tounrys IO registered and then they said well this is new to them and they dont run the registration for the tournaments so theyll have to check into it...really they dont know their own their own tournys??? Something very fishy is going on...If you a sportsbook.com player ask them about it, we should get any freerolls they are offering other countries as our freerolls suck.....I liked sportsbook.com a lot am disapointed they would act in such a shady way..

Cake doesn't show the freerolls either. I think they are events run by Red Star poker which is a Russian site, so you're not meant to see them and it's nothing sinister on Sportbook's part.

If Sportsbook.com is hiding them from US players they are hiding them from all of their customers, they only accept US players as their purchase agreement with Sporting Bet forces them to do.

players from other countries are on the cake network though, just not through sportbook probably

Correct, but the complaint is that sb.com is hiding them from US players which would mean all of their customers.

did you win anything? if so, did they/are they going to void your winnings and/or ban you?
