Right, SBRforum doesn't allow lower tiered books so the disputes aren't frequent. When a player thinks he has a good argument he wants us to represent, he usually doesn't post "sportsbook123 are thieves" or "so and so took my money". They understand to publicly label the book for an action they want them to undue is usually counterprodictive.

5Dimes paid a player $60,000 earlier this year. I don't believe the poster posted about it. The books above respect SBR's opinion and will have the player ask us if its complicated. Most books up there have paid a player following our input before. SportsInteraction is there and rated their highest yet because of this and working with SBR to write their rules so situations don't reoccur.

We're able to work with them on the player's behalf because we understand the difference between a dispute and helping a player leverage a book after taking advantage of obvious human error.
