DPT Sports Group launches new LooseLines website
LooseLines (SBR rating B-), a sister sportsbook of
JazzSports (SBR rating B) and backed by parent company DPT Sports, is back online after a brief period of housing former
betruss (SBR rating C-) players. Those players have since been migrated to Jazz Sports. DPT tells SBR that there will again be a focus on Looselines as an independant brand with dedicated management and customer service. Looselines will be reevaluated after ther new website is tested and new player feedback is received. Players with recent experience at both Jazz and LooseLines are encouraged to write to SBR.

betruss (SBR rating C-) accounts acquired by DPT Sports Group
betruss.com now redirects to
LooseLines (SBR rating B-). Looselines is a part of the group of sites that include better known B rated books
ABCislands and
Jazz Sports.
betruss management tells SBR that the decision to move under Looselines was made because the
betruss brand and its marketing team was "fighting an uphill battle" due to the stigma of the Absolute Poker controversy.
betruss was founded by a former Absolute Poker manager. Looselines will be financially backed by DPT Sports but operate independently with its own lines and management. Looselines will move from the -108 lineset that was offered until today to
betruss standard -110 vig. Bettors who were using Looselines prior to today will be able to use the -108 lineset by accessing their accounts through ABCislands. LooseLines, which will focus on recreational players, has been lowered to B- as it adapts to the
betruss staff and operating policies.
Looselines management tells SBR that the migration was already completed in the middle of the night.

betruss - SBR initiates rating coverage at C-

betruss enters the SBR Rating Guide at C-.
betruss is a new Costa Rican sportsbook using DGS Software and IDSCA server hosting. The sportsbook employs 40 individuals including former managers of Nine.com (SBR rating B+) and Absolute Poker, and line managers formerly with HeritageSports (SBR rating B) and
LasPalmas (SBR rating B-).
betruss' startup model is now a rare one as few books will enter the U.S. serving market without the help of a turnkey service provider. Despite the upfront investment by
betruss, players are advised to wait to see if the book will establish and prove itself before trying.
betruss has been online for one month; is still working on site glitches; and offers a high cash bonus along with high betting limits which it will unlikely be able to maintain once it begins marketing campaigns. The book's management tells SBR it aims to be a recreational sportsbook excelling in customer service and financial processing options.
