    Credit Wagering owned me. Sent me $800 I won so I fell for the trap. Then probably ended up sending them $3000 or more total. Learned my lesson the hard way

    I never sign up at a book without checking out SBR's ratings now

    Many years ago. Even before internet boom, I tried a sportsbook. You called a specific 800 number to make a bet. I got paid once,
    even spoke to the owner and he was hamming it up about how well i did, and he's glad he doesn't have to pick games.

    One day, the phone was out of service. Was able to find a phone number, which was just a regular number and his mother answered!

    Yep, he was running the book from his house. I guess his mother made the lines! She says he's not home right now. Never answered the phone again. He probably stole 500-600 from me, but id like to beat him senseless.

    There is a risk anywhere you play, thinking not is actually gullable.

    I played there on a freeplay. Worst poker site ever. I remember it freezing up randomly when dealing the flop That's when I knew it wasn't a legit site.

    Dimeline, although I never deposited there, are a c rated book. What are the details? Did SBR look into it in a complaint? Wouldn't this be considered theft? Unless there is another version of the story. If I were you and had a legit case, why not press the issue here?

    I have played at dimeline just becuase they take **********, don't think i'll deposit again. Never cashed out although i did get up to a nice balance before blowing on $100 backjack hands.

    it was a long time ago when they were with a different processor. i made 6000 in deposits through a ewallet we had here in the states. There was about 15 or so deposits in total. All my deposits cleared on my side. The ewallet debted my bank account twice for a total of 12,000. I had around 8500 in my account with some overdraft protection. It was their mistake. It took me forever to get that mess straight. A lot of the double debits bounced. They bounced about 300 dollars worth of my stuff to dimeline. It was a complete nightmare. The ewallet which i cant remember who they were now but i remember they were there and bodog told me they had contacted dimeline and told them it was their fault blah blah blah. So i got my balance up to about 10 k and waited to get this stuff fixed before i cashed out. I had over 700 dollars in overdraft frees that i was suppose to get back from this ewallet also. They completly ****** my bank account and i had to evidentally close it. After a couple months i did a withdrawl and got a message that my account was now closed and because of the bounced checks they would not honor my payout. This was 2006 or 7. Dimeline was ran by someone different at that time, it was futurebet or some other scam artests. I had just joined sbr. I tried to get my money for months to no aval. Then the ******* ewallet goes out of buisness. I never got my overdraft fees. They did return 6000 to me in the funds they double drafted in my account but it was a mess. I really dont think i had a beef with dimeline but the ewallet wish i could remember the name i will look it up old emails but dimeline did end up with 5600-5700 of my depost and i got shit. Dimeline told me there was nothing they could do because the ewallet with out. They were only shorted out 300 of that mess. It was my first and last experience with echecks and ewallats. I only deposited net spend and m..g, w..u since.

    BetEd owes me around $400. I'm still wondering if the were actually "seized" by the Government or of they just took the money and ran. I'm leaning towards the latter.

    I got totally f***cked by this Asian operation a few years ago. I was a steady customer, even talking them up to my friends.
    I dropped off and collected fine for a while, and then they started really messing up.
    It all came to a head when I realized they wrote my latest ticket wrong, and I couldn't pickup all they should have had for me.

    Wait. What???!
    This isn't the Dry Cleaners complaint thread???
    Oh damn... Sorry. My bad

    After reading what you shared, I don't think you have any gripe toward Dimeline. They did what any book would. You should be most upset with the defunct eWallet processor.
