<h2>Points</h2> When you register and become a member of SportsTwo, you are awarded 500 points. Initially, you can use these points to bet in our Sportsbook Simulation game, but over time we'll be adding more games that use these points.</p> <h2>Income</h2> Members are awarded points for using the site's features. For every page you view, you are awarded points. For every post you make, you are awarded points. For every thread you start, you are awarded points, and so on. Thus if you gamble away all your points, for example, in the Sportsbook Simulation, you can always earn more. Income is tracked separately from winnings in the games, so we all can get an idea of who's actually earning their points.</p>
Hopefully that explains it. Basically you earn money (income, get points) by posting, making threads, viewing posts and threads, etc.</p> And you can use those points in the sportsbook, where you bet on games, whether its football, baseball, or basketball (as soon as the season starts).</p>
The way I see it, there isn't that big a difference between the two if you don't gamble. For those who gamble away their winnings, the income scale isn't affected, and maintains a good way to see how active a person is.</p>
