   May have been asked before, but is there any way of using them in the Pro shop? Thank you.

  Every time you win credits they are added to your credits total that appears next to your tier and just above your level on the left side of the page. So you do get to use those winnings;but it is like saying you have earned a million dollars in your lifetime and are thus a millionaire. Doesn't work that way.

  Two additional remarks (sorry if it appears as nitpicking):

  - Only credits gained directly from WGT are included, that is mostly tournament + RG wins, tier-up boni. Challenge wins from Matchplay and Skins are not included.

  - The display wrongly stats "Dollars", while the "exchange" from credits to USD is far off reality and negated in the T&Cs: "Credits have no monetary value"

  It's like Monopoly currency.

  Credits do have monetary value, at least in the States, since 165,000 credits can be used to purchase a $250 gift card for Amazon or iTunes. Thus sebicu has won $17,254 and fmagnets has won $15,467. Granted, some of that money has been plowed back into the game for balls and equipment or gifts to others, but it could also have reached their billfolds.

  True for some but not for all players. You must be willing and able to be verified by the company - this is excluded in some places, even in the USA.

  If it were like that, why isn't it stated like that?

  But neither is true.Neither player is living in the States.

  Sebicu isn't verified, and you don't know how much mags may have extracted. Furthermore, you must have multiples of 165,000 to spare for a refund, and it's not in money but in goods at a ridiculously low  rate which one of the major earners once bemoaned.

  Still, the T&Cs are valid, stating "no monetary value", and the earnings lists on the front page are fake.

  Did you know that you are the owner of your credits NOT, but the company? => read your T&Cs!
