Bonus #2: On the 20th of the Month one lucky individual will be chosen. Using a random number generator. The winner of this giveaway of points earns 50 Points! 50 Points is correct! Remember, this will be random and it may even be granted to the player already in 1st place.

DEBTS:

A Note on Gambling: Don't forget to pay your bills!

When Gambling there is no limit to how much you may gamble. If you have 3 Membership Points you can gamble 10 points. If you lose, however you will be at (-7) points. If this does happen, though you will have bills to pay.

If you want you can still earn points but you will have that (-7) Bill sitting next to the number in the stand. It will remain that way until you comment in the Standings forum that you want to pay some or all of your bills. There is interest on your bills as well. Each week that your bill are not paid 10% will be added to your debt.

If Bills are not in in time for the Season to end your Bill will double for the next season and this will make it very hard to win the next Season's Race. DON'T FORGET TO PAY YOUR BILLS! Having Bills at the end of the month takes you off of the chance of getting the random Gold Membership as well.

Example:

3. @R_2_GM - 269 (-19)

The (-19) is the bill. it can only be paid off when the player posts in the Standings forum that they wish to pay their bills. In that case they will move down to having only 250 points.
