Yes sir I have nflshop.ca. The Mlse cards are a treat to use. Load a pile of them on one card in your mobile wallet so your not dealing with pile of $25 cards at purchase. Make sure to tell them up front from your using gift card which they can usually scan from your mobile wallet but sometimes they have to enter manually. One crazy part with these is it eliminates tipping due to no option to do so which I am not loving actually. I would be eager to tip with these. However I enjoy it more then when I used to pay non gift card and order 4 beers/nacho/nuggets/water/pop etc.. and faced with 30% tip option on screen which is like $40-$50.

Well the prizes are back and better then ever with plenty of new and old options. However it is 50 000 points for $50. This would be a measly 1% return. Hopfully this is a error and was meant to be 5000 but I doubt it. Great times while it lasted folks.

I had to meet with OPP officer sent from OLG last week. This officer had alot of questions which he thought he knew the answer to already. He thought I was betting push events and breakeven arbs for petro points/credit card cashback. I had to repeat several times the 16% return via Proline Points as he was in disbelieve. So sad its gone....

Not much availability either.

{'$25 Uber E-GIFT CARD': 8, 'HOCKEY FANTASY CAMP': 1, '$50 NFLSHOP.CA E-GIFT CARD': 47, '$50 NBASTORE.CA E-GIFT CARD': 38, '$50 NHLSHOP.CA E-GIFT CARD': 43, '$50 MLSE E-Gift Card': 33}

It will take casual players months to afford even a measly $25 Uber gift card.

I am sorry to read about your experience with OPP, rich. They can certainly track us down, if they want to.

Did you have any similar experience with the old platform? I suppose you were also investing a large amount of capital at the time, across multiple stores then (plus other heavy hitters like Harley, Leo, Chin, Csima etc), which begs the question why are they turning on the heat now?

Is OLG taking a big loss with this arb/hedge stuff? Wtf is going on now for them to get OPP involved? Is that beyond their mandate/jurisdiction?

That is absolutely ridiculous. What was the end result with the OPP? Just explain to them you are an advantage player?

The end results is I hope and believe it to be is he sends his report to Olg stating they are moronic to give such a promo. He pretty much stated that this would be the result and thanked me for my time. He said he enjoyed meeting me and wished me well. He was knowledgeable thankfully about sports gambling.
People launder money via gambling and they are required to investigate.This happens with casinos/banks as well. Now with the reduced variance of no parlays I am sure this will be more common. I would rather this meeting with a officer then them scaring my banks with investigations and the banks start closing my accounts out of precaution(this happens)
