    Parlaymakers players bailed out by Dimeline

    Parlaymakers players bailed out by Dimeline

    Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D+)
    has agreed to credit up to $1,000 to Parlaymakers players that were stiffed after the scam sportsbook went off-line last month.

    Parlaymakers players who accept the offer must complete a 10X rollover. Dimeline management tells SBR they are making the offer as a good faith gesture.

    SBR can confirm that two players were credited by Dimeline today.

    Nice gesture by DimeLine. Never played at Dimeline so have no idea about how good they are though.

    Dimeline is doing it on their own, they became aware of the Parlaymakers collapse from reading the SBR news stories. Management thought it presented the opportunity to do the right thing for players, and get some positive exposure for their brand.

    Parlaymakers doesn't speak to SBR anymore. PM is blacklisted and any new shops they begin will be as well, pending all players being paid in full.

    I thought Dimeline had its own financial issues a while back? Two years ago, maybe?... Hadn't heard much of them since.

    Still, if they pay out, this is a nice offer on their part and could improve their image a bit.

    That is the best you can hope for. A 10X rollover and no deposit is a nice bailout offer these days. How many players did Max scam ?

    i dont think parlaymakers were a scam book lou, i think they tried there best to make a sucess of it but ended up making a total dogs diner of the whole thing, this is an exceptionally generous gesture by dimeline, may be rated d but this will help soften the blow of getting burnt by parlaymakers. the only problem i have is wat if someone turns $1000 free play into $50000?? will they pay?

    "Agreed to binding arbitration by SBR."

    So arbitrate. No response required. Since he has already agreed SBR is free to choose any path of action. Tell everybody what Max's full name is, where he lives, and tell him to have the money ready for when people show up at his door. Light a fire under his ass. Let him choose between fear and honesty.

    Dimeline's offer was extended to the 8 outstanding sportsbook complaints SBR had on file at the time. SBR then informed the players the offer was on the table from Dimeline.

    If 100 new players come out of the woodwork and say they were Parlaymakers players, they may not get taken on if they have no way to reasonably substantiate their claims.

    I'd like to make something clear so no one gets the wrong idea.

    Dimeline was never given contact information from SBR for the players.

    SBR informed Dimeline only of the amount owed to each player on file. Dimeline agreed to credit the players up to $1000 each if they didn't already have accounts there.

    SBR contacted the players and informed them of the offer.

    Players who wished to accept then signed up and informed SBR of their Dimeline account name, and SBR informed Dimeline that those players were the ones who reported being stiffed by Parlaymakers.

    Hopefully, this story has a partially happy ending if at least some players can come out with the funds stiffed by Parlaymakers.

    What about funds that were being held by the now seemingly defunct GP which people were using to play at Parlay Makers?

    10X rollover on parlays? Why don't they just give them a t-shirt and save the trouble of trying to rollover the impossible?

    C'mom guys....These crooks just up and stole funds without leaving us a trace. The least you could do is to release all the info you have on these guys...names and number...at least in a private message. Why hide and info on these scammers?

    I am one of the people who received the bailout. I am grateful to Dimeline for the opportunity to make some of my money back. If I do meet the rollover and manage to withdraw anything I will let SBR know, so that Dimeline can get some of the positive press they are looking for from this offer.

    Guys,

    No one is "hiding info".

    Many sportsbooks are rated by SBR. Ratings are weighted against many variables, and it's not a perfect science. Ratings change all the time for different reasons. SBR can't personally meet each sportsbook manager prior to assessing a rating.

    We know Parlaymakers was managed by Max, there's no last name and as a heads up, everybody uses fake names in this industry.

    Max agreed to place the SBR Complaint Form on the Parlaymakers site, but he became unreliable and hard to reach in time. SBR spoke to him on the same phone numbers you all did, there's no hidden goods in this case... if we can identify Max or where the money went, we'll make every effort to speak with him and get him in touch with players.
