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
DailyDime manager, John Anthony:
Right now, basically, DailyDime is on life support and I'm going down
with the (expletive). We're not a large book by any stretch of the term
and I myself am not a rich man like a lot of other sportsbook owners.
The host wants to set up a three way call with myself, him and you and
basically have me tell you that the winnings are no good since the
deposit can't go through the processors (again, our processors are
complete (expletive) right now so technically that's accurate). This
industry is a tough industry to crack and like I said, DD is on life
support, but I'm not willing to let go of it yet, nor am I comfortable
just telling you your winnings are no good with us, considering the
business you gave us in 2009.
