LooseLines closing shop this Sunday

If it is a respectful source, why do you need someone else to confirm? Believe what you hear from respectful sources is the way to a fruitful life.

Shark79 · 01-01-09, 12:46 PM

I just didnt want anyone to doubt it .. and having someone from SBR to confirm it ... would make others believe it.

But I guess you just had a bad New Years !

Anyway ... if you have an account ... just ask them to see what they come up with.

bigboydan · 01-01-09, 01:01 PM

I believe that would probably be a good source considering the DPT Sports Group is being bought out, sir.

purecarnagge · 01-01-09, 01:24 PM

Looselines has been getting killed by 100% match bonus as well. funding has to be down.

jjgold · 01-01-09, 01:33 PM

All these silly mismanaged books like loose lines close down, bunch of idiots running it.

No surprise

pavyracer · 01-01-09, 01:34 PM

With a name like this no wonder they went out of business. Sharps killed looselines.

I have funds at LL, Dan. Who's buying them and are players' balances, safe?

crisp · 01-01-09, 02:32 PM

what about abc islands and jazz sports?

Has DPT actually been put forward as the specific B-rated book(s) that's going to be bought out, or did you just spill the beans ?

bigboydan · 01-01-09, 04:20 PM

I didn't spill the beans at all Halifax. SBR poster JellyBean posted it.

treece · 01-01-09, 04:38 PM

I thought DPT had deep pockets.

thgifted1 · 01-01-09, 04:51 PM

Just went on live chat since i have cash in their and they said Jazz is taking over full control of looselines and nothing changing but management control and customer service.. That was the response I got.

RonPaul2008 · 01-01-09, 04:51 PM

Who is buying them????????? Is it Cris/Bookmaker??????
Cruel to post this without saying who the buyer is!

treece · 01-01-09, 04:53 PM

Jazz has the deep pockets.

thgifted1 · 01-01-09, 04:55 PM

hence jazz is taking over control...

treece · 01-01-09, 05:01 PM

Jazz is one of the biggest books out there. They got 10k limits on games.

RonPaul2008 · 01-01-09, 05:05 PM

Jazz taking over makes zero sense, Looselines is Jazz/AbcIslands.
You have been able to loginto looselines accounts with the other two for a long time. If it's Jazz this is a non-story. It's not Jazz...which is the DPT group.

I agree. Jazz taking over is simply a parent bailing out a child. There may be more to this story, but no one has specifics. Hate this secrecy crap.

purecarnagge · 01-01-09, 05:22 PM

I would take your money out and redeposit later... they will cover your fee's for the month. You can send it to a new book but if your concerned I would wd.

flyingillini · 01-01-09, 05:23 PM

Thank god I play at a reliable safe book and don't have to worry about crap like this.

Halifax · 01-01-09, 05:26 PM

So is the DPT Sports Group being bought out ... or is DPT Sports closing one of their books (Looselines) and moving their customers to ABCIslands or Jazz ?

Big difference between the two scenarios.

DPT group is B rated overall, although Looselines is the weakest link at B-. It's not like we're playing at a D or F Book.

My point is IF you have a respectful source you let someone else disprove it, not go along with what you have. I have and am having a great new years. Its just having people back you up is a road to no where when you start a thread.

Probably too late for this, at least for US clients. Any Withdrawals will likely be processed by the new company on Monday.

Chat with Looselines two minutes ago:

Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Randy'
Randy: Welcome to LooseLines, how can I assist you ?
you: Is Looselines closing soon?
Randy: not at all
Randy: there are going to be some changes
Randy: but they are internal
Randy: we had to let go a lot of customer services reps...
you: All the Sports Forums are saying this.
Randy: yes we know
you: Will parent company Jazz take over?
Randy: yes
you: Thank you.
Randy: they currently take your bets...
you: Thanks again, Randy.
Randy: so they are basically taking over the whole operations
Randy: is nothing to worry about
Randy: my pleasure
Randy: Thank you for choosing LooseLines, we are always glad to be of service. Have a great day!

I hope it is Jazz that's taking over. This not knowing is BS.

durito · 01-03-09, 08:26 PM

BBD stop being a worthless piece of shit and give us some real news.

Is DPT being bought out or is Jazz simply merging LL into it. The later is a non issue, the former is a big deal. They kicked me over to Jazz years ago anyway.

HedgeHog · 01-03-09, 09:11 PM

Thanks and have a wonderful day .

Scorpion · 01-03-09, 09:24 PM

The new looslines is not the old looselines that was owned by Jazz group

Bluehorseshoe · 01-04-09, 07:32 PM

No more news on this?

Bill Dozer · 01-04-09, 08:10 PM

Players shouldn't notice any changes. Jazz/ABC is handling the CS and sales again so it's similar to what it was before. When players call in they will get the same clerks. When BetRuss took that brand as their own label, ownership told SBR the Looselines remained backed by them despite the BetRuss team coming in to work their own model and changing the juice.

HedgeHog · 01-04-09, 08:16 PM

Great, where was the update when this story broke--it took 3 days for confirmation? You guys left us hanging. How about an upate on the SB.com deal?
