Could you please verify that the category of your Facebook application is set to Games? Requests are only available for this category.
Could you also turn on Debug Mode in the JFBConnect > Configuration > General section to see if there are any errors/warnings coming back from Facebook?
Turns out that it was the FB app - I created it on an account that they dtermined was not a person and wanted to convert me to a page
I just set up a new app under my real profile and now all works correctly
Thank you for your time spent on this anyway
