Dimeline player bailed out of Parlaymakers reports payment

On 21 March 2011, SBR reported that Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating C) agreed to credit up to $1,000 to players that were stiffed by fallen book Parlaymakers (SBR rating F).

One such player has reported payment. The player was credited $1,000 with a 10X rollover requirement. The player took his time and methodically met his rollover, cashing out for $1,000+ this month. He documented his good fortune last night on SBR Forum, thanking Dimeline for giving him the opportunity to recover some of his funds. The player noted that he decided to leave some cash in the sportsbook to continue to play.

[quote]User "Igetp2s": I just wanted to give thanks to DimeLine. They bailed me out last year from part of the balance I lost that was stolen by Parlaymakers. I reached the rollover requirement a long time ago, but kept playing there beyond that and finally requested my first withdrawal last week (for more than the amount they initially placed in my account).

The withdrawal went extremely smoothly and I got my money very quickly without having any problems whatsoever, and didn't need to contact them at all for anything. I just wanted to thank Dimeline for their generosity which has helped reduce my Parlaymaker losses. I have kept some money in my account to continue playing there. Also thanks to SBR for arranging the bailout.[/quote]Dimeline tells SBR that they have hired a well-known industry linesman, and have entirely revamped their bonus model. Dimeline has been cooperative with SBR in cases of player feedback or claims. The sportsbook is powered by the BTG Global N.V. group which is licensed in Curacao.

WagerUp bonus dispute

UPDATE: BTG Global management has addressed this dispute. BTG has clarified that the player's statement of having limits from $22-$82.50 is false. The player was limited after being profiled as a non-recreational bettor, and given the following limits: $200 for NBA straight, $100 ML & total, as well as $75 NCAAB straight, $50 ML & total. BTG states the player is 21% of the way through his current rollover, and is able to continue playing or accept a prorated portion of his bonus winnings.

A WagerUp (SBR rating C) player writes in with a bonus dispute. The player deposited $200 and received a 100% (30x RO) cash bonus. The player claims his first wager was a winning two-team parlay. The player also claims that WagerUp  lowered his limits to $30 for parlays and between $22-$82.50 for straight bets. The player still must meet almost $9,500 in rollover with these revised limits. The player asks that he either receive a refund of his deposit + all winnings derived from the bonus, or that WagerUp restore reasonable account limits. SBR is following up on this sportsbook complaint.

WagerUp.eu is part of the BTG Global gaming family. BTG Global N.V. is licensed in Curacao and powers sportsbooks Dimeline (SBR rating C), VIP Sports.eu (SBR rating C), as well as SafariCasino and BetTheGlobe. WagerUp was assessed with an initial rating of C on February 11th, 2012.

VIPsports.eu cancels players pending bet; says he bet over the limit

VIPsports.eu (SBR rating C), which runs on the BTG Gaming platform along with SafariCasino (SBR rating D+) and Dimeline (SBR rating C), canceled a players pending wager. The game had not yet started. VIP implied that their software did not or was not able to properly enforce limits. The player states that because of their error he missed out on his winning play. SBR will seek comment from management. 

VIPSports.eu deceptive marketing

VIPSports.eu (SBR rating C) is still making deceptive sales pitches to former clients of the now defunct VIP Sports (SBR rating B-) family. VIPSports.eu is distributing emails suggesting that it is the same as the terminated VIP Sports operation. It is important for players to realize that the original VIP Sports is not back - former marketing personnel are attempting to capitalize on the brand's name by releasing targeted emails to former VIP Sports and Nine.com (SBR rating B-) customers. VipSports.eu is hosted on a different wagering platform, in a different country, with different financial backing and ownership. Players should approach the new VIPSports.eu as an unknown quantity and proceed with caution as with all start-up sportsbook companies.

On November 3rd, 2011, SBR reported that VipSports.eu is the latest licensee of the Safari Casino Group. Safari provides VipSports.eu with wagering software, hosting and processors in exchange for a monthly royalty. Safari Casino Group is most known for powering Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating C), BetTheGlobe (SBR rating D+),  and Safari Casino (SBR rating D+).  | VIPSports.eu email to players

Scam Alert: DailyDime added to sportsbook blacklist

DailyDime has been downgraded to F on the SBR Sportsbook Blacklist. On 11/20, SBR reported that DailyDime's manager told a player that the sportsbook was  in financial trouble. Since that report was published, a player who requested an $1170.34 check on 10/30 has come forward telling SBR he has received no payment updates.

BTG Gaming provides DailyDime with betting software, web hosting, and credit card processing. The hosting company, which also powers Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) tells SBR that they have removed DailyDime's manager's website access due to unpaid hosting fees. DailyDime's manager, who refers to himself as "Johny Anthony", has not returned SBR's calls or e-mails.

How DailyDime players can request their funds
BTG Gaming tells SBR that any DailyDime player who deposited with their credit card processor will receive the amount of their deposits back, including the player who reported the $1170.34 slow-pay. BTG went on to say that if DailyDime would agree to sell its domain name, BTG would assume full responsibility of all players balances. To date, DailyDime has not made contact with its players, host, or SBR.

SBR advises DailyDime players not to send any funds by Western Union to "John Anthony", as he has lost access to the DailyDime website and does not have the power to add funds into a player's account. SBR has been assured by BTG Gaming that his website access will not be turned back on until the $6,500 in pending player withdrawals is paid. | DailyDime statement

Player vs Dimeline Sportsbook: bonus complaint

A Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) player has written in with a sportsbook dispute. The player joined Dimeline in March of 2009 and received a 100% bonus with a 10X rollover. At the end of April 2009, the player claims the rollover was completed. He requested a withdrawal of £1200 on June 1st 2009. After four months passed by with no payments issued, Dimeline informed the player the check was lost in the mail and that he could begin receiving his funds in £200 increments. The player states he received only £200.

After following up with Dimeline Sportsbook, the sportsbook claimed to SBR that the player failed to meet his rollover and was allowed cashouts in error; additionally the player was allegedly double-credited a deposit which went unreported. SBR has asked for Dimeline to send all logs of the player's account adjustments and wagering activity to substantiate its position. SBR will update this report as more information is learned.

Dimeline Sportsbook agrees to extend player's rollover time in bonus complaint

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) has agreed to grant the player from the April 19th bonus complaint an additional 90 days to complete his rollover. On January 5th of 2009 the player deposited €2000 and received a 100% bonus with an 8X rollover. The following January the rollover had still not been completed, and Dimeline then removed the bonus from the player's balance; converting the funds to "free money", which is a commissions-based rewards program. Dimeline maintained that the bonus carried a 3 month rollover requirement. The player flatly denied having been informed of any such requirement. Dimeline was unable to provide conclusive proof that the term was listed on their website at the time. Dimeline currently publishes the 3 month rollover requirement on their bonus promotions page. After discussions with SBR, Dimeline has agreed to credit the player's bonus funds back into his account and to allow him an additional 90 days to complete the rollover.

Dimeline Sportsbook bonus complaint standstill

No progress has been made in the Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) bonus complaint reported on SBR in March. On January 5th of 2009 a player deposited €2000 with Dimeline and slowly began to wager toward his rollover requirement. On January 1st of 2010 Dimeline removed €4505 in bonus funds from the account citing that the rollover was not met within 3 months of his deposit. The player disputes that the rollover was timed, and has provided an e-mail transcript where the Dimeline Sportsbook sales manager reiterated the bonus terms in early 2009 prior to his deposit. No such mention of a 3 month rule was intact. SBR is asking Dimeline Sportsbook to return all bonus funds to the player's account and to allow him to resume filling rollover. Any such bonus terms added by Dimeline Sportsbook after the player's deposit cannot be applied retroactively.

Dimeline bonus dispute update

On 3/3 SBR reported an update to the 3/2 Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) complaint. Dimeline has since retracted their statements that the player received double his signup bonus in error. Dimeline attributes supplying erroneous information due to a mixup in accounts. Both sides agree that rollover has not been completed, however, the player disagrees that Dimeline had a posted rule on completing rollover within 3 months at the time of his deposit in January of 2009. The dispute will remain open until SBR can verify when the rule came into effect via page indexing, which may take up to a year.

Dimeline Sportsbook: botched bonus update

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) addresses bonus complaint SBR reported on March 2nd. On January 5th 2009 a player deposited €2000 in exchange for a €2000 cash bonus with an 8X rollover. The bonus was double credited resulting in the players balance increasing by an extra €4000 in bonus money. The player slowly wagered €20,182 toward his rollover throughout baseball season. On January 1st of 2010 Dimeline removed €4505 in bonus money from the account, leaving the player with his original deposit. Dimeline discovered the crediting error when the player requested Moneybookers payment, additionally, the player was nine months past Dimeline's posted rule on rollover completion time. The rule is stated as follows:
[quote]Rollover is calculated on the lower of the risk or win. Rollover must be completed within 90 days. If a player fails to meet the rollover the real money bonus amount will be converted into free money and a rollover is no longer required.[/quote] At the time of the adjustment, Dimeline states the player was down $1200. Dimeline has offered to refund the players €2000 deposit in full, noting that any proration of bonus play would leave the player with a significantly less return.

Dimeline Sportsbook bonus complaint

A Dimeline (SBR rating D) bonus complaint has been received. On January 5th of 2009 a player deposited €2000 and received a 100% bonus with an 8X rollover. After slowly clearing €20,182 in rollover, the player logged into his account on January 1st of 2010 and discovered that €4505 was deducted from his gaming account. Dimeline allegedly informed the player the adjustment was made due to the rollover not being filled within one year. The player points out that he still had four days remaining to complete rollover, but raises the point that Dimeline's one year rule was not yet instituted at the time of his deposit. SBR will confirm when the rollover rule came into effect and update this report after speaking with Dimeline management.

Dimeline Sportsbook removes bonus from players account after 90 days

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) has allegedly removed $2879 from a players account stating that he did not fulfill his rollover within 90 days. SBR is attempting to make communication with Dimeline to confirm. Dimeline's website states that all rollovers must be completed within 90 days.

On December 23rd the player proceeded to make a withdrawal request after a member of Dimeline staff confirmed his rollover was finished. On December 27th the player received an email that his cash out was not processed due to needing to wager an additional 20K. The player did not protest and chose to continue wagering with Dimeline. On January 2nd, after making another 9K in wagers, the account was disabled without notice being given to the player. SBR has contacted Dimeline to discuss this case.

Dimeline addresses bonus dispute

Dimeline (SBR rating D) has addressed the bonus confiscation report from December 2nd. Dimeline offered a 100% cash bonus, 10X rollover in March prior to the MLB season beginning. The conditions of the bonus were that MLB moneylines were not counted toward this promotion. From March 22nd to April 30th a player wagered $52,678.90, $10,172 of these wagers counted toward his rollover. On April 30th Dimeline closed the players account citing steam and non-recreational play.

Dimeline stated that bonuses are intended for non-recreational players and stated that it would only pay a prorated amount of winnings. SBR's position was that this was not a fair tactic and that Dimeline had no right to the player's earned winnings. Dimeline then made an agreement with the player that should they re-enable his account, if he completes the remainder of his 10X rollover, they would pay all winnings with no proration. At that time the player's winnings were in excess of $13,000. Dimeline stated that the bonus would be paid only if the player ceased steam play and was re-profiled as a recreational bettor. The player completed his rollover and withdrew $9976 in winnings. SBR considers the bonus dispute closed. 

Dimeline Sportsbook bonus confiscation update

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) has refused to pay a $2000 cash bonus which was confiscated from a winning  player on May 1st. In SBR's initial report, it was stated that Dimeline confiscated the $2000 bonus due to non-recreational play. The player funded his Dimeline account on March 22nd with $3100 via Moneybookers. He was then credited a $2000 bonus. The player placed $38,160 in action before Dimeline suspended his account on May 1st, cited steam play, confiscated the bonus, and invalidated a large % of his rollover as his play included MLB moneyline favorites greater than -150. The player's balance after the bonus confiscation was $13,000. Dimeline imposed a new rollover on the player, which he later met. The player cashed out $9976 over the past two months as Dimeline has meted out their ongoing slowpays. Dimeline has refused to credit the player the $2,000 bonus.  | Read more

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D-) management has spoken with SBR regarding the ongoing slow-pays reported over the summer. Dimeline has acknowledged the lengthy delays experienced by a small group of players that it refers to as inactive bettors. According to Dimeline, the loss of four credit card processors and subsequent freezure of funds led to the extended wait times.

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) has continued to delay the payout of a player that it has labeled a professional bettor. The player requested $2000 on June 18th and $2000 in mid-July. Neither withdrawal has been paid by Dimeline. SBR advises players to avoid Dimeline until multiple slowpay reports are resolved.

Dimeline: "Sir, at this time we do not have the Moneybookers funds to pay you. Your account was also labeled as a wiseguy account. This means you bet steam and are clearly a professional which is against our bonus terms. You will be paid but it will be another 30 days minimum. "

Dimeline Sportsbook freezes a player's funds on suspicion of chip-dumping

Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) has frozen a player's $2763.13 balance on suspicion of chip-dumping. The player requested three $2,000 withdrawals May 2nd, May 26th, and June 5th. Dimeline has yet to pay the player as slowpays have continued the past few months. On September 22nd a Dimeline manager offered the player a deal whereby if the player reversed one of the withdrawal requests he would guarantee payment of $4,000 by the end of the month. The player reluctantly accepted.

At this point the player decided to transfer $2,000 into his poker account. His sports account was limited to $50 a wager, so he hoped by putting some of his funds at risk Dimeline might deliver on their word hoping to retain him as a customer. SBR strongly advises against any player ever continuing to give action to a sportsbook that has yet to fulfill their payment obligations. The player proceeded to lose his $2,000 at the poker tables.

On September 30th the remainder of the player's balance ($2763.13), $2,000 of which was the recently reversed withdrawal that Dimeline had yet to pay since May, was frozen on suspicion of chipdumping. The player adamantly denies any such activity and invites SBR to review all hand histories. SBR will update this report as more information comes in.

Dimeline Sports Update: Bonus and winnings confiscations
Three players originally filed complaints that the sportsbook had confiscated bonuses and winnings. The sportsbook pointed to the fact that the players, though they wagered over $100,000 and had their limits lowered, were not recreational and were undeserving of their deposit bonuses. The end result was removal of bonus funds while being forced to complete the rollovers that accompanied the promotions. If the players refused to continue wagering they were told their winnings "from the bonuses" would be withheld. The confiscations went on to effect seven players who all elected to bet their money per management instead of giving up a portion of their winnings. DimeLine Sports now has a history of holding funds hostage and treating players unfairly.

DimeLine Sportsbook (SBR rating C-) cancels bet "because of injury"
On February 3rd DimeLine Sportsbook canceled a wager on the Denver Nuggets -6 versus the San Antonio Spurs because of an injury report that caused the line to change. The spread jumped across all sportsbooks to as high as  -13. Dimeline customer service cited an error as reason for canceling the bet. The player rightfully argues that his bet was canceled unfairly. The bet was not void because it was placed on an erroneous line but because he had a good position on a play before information was known that would change the odds across the betting market.
