    BONUS SCAM from BETDSI

    Hi Gents,

    Yes I made a big mistake getting bonus from BETDSI. And long story short, I am betting for one and half years, I think I bet in total more than $30,000 and still could not complete rollover for $850 bonus because of this following scam:

    BETDSI INCREASES BONUS ROLLOVER REQUIREMENT

    yes, you read this right. You risk it, yet your rollover requirement does not decrease, instead increase
    I contacted customer service 3 times, in all 3 times they gave me below same equations

    deposit 3/02 $400+ bonus $800 + wins $628;X 20 rollover
    deposit 2/28 $50 + bonus $50 + wins $20 X20 Rollover .

    and yet for some reason everytime I chat with them my remaining rollover requirement increases

    I won't continue betting there, I only want to warn people:

    NEVER EVER OPEN AN ACCOUNT AND BET WITH BETDSI

    I wonder if sbr can help me in any way with this. Thanks for reading

    I would suggest not taking the bonus.....most books rollover requirements are not going to be met unless you hit a jackpot(speaking only of casino bonus). I made the mistake with Bovada & had to forfeit the bonus so I could make bets with my deposited funds

    BetDSI sucks, not going to deny that and deserve low rating, however to be clear I will explain what might have happened to you.

    Some books base their rollover off of bonus winnings, which in most cases would be better for the player (I don't why they do that). For example, I read one book that was 100% freeplay 10x rollover on deposit + any bonus winnings instead of just standard deposit + bonus.

    My guess is they are trying to prevent someone from winning big in freeplay from successfully rolling it over easier, IDK. For the book's math, the better rollover for the book would be deposit + bonus for rollover since in the long run, the player will only win 50-65% bonus funds in winnings since the risk is not returned in payouts.

    A few people have posted that it is difficult to get an accurate figure from DSI for remaining rollover.


    I would just keep count myself and if they say it is not complete when you think it is, send them the list of bets with how much rollover you say each one counts for at the time.

    Get a figure from them in online chat, keep the transcript, and when you exceed the figure you're given, ask them to transfer it to cash. That's what I did in January, and it worked, as I exceeded the figure they gave me last month.

    In the last few months, I think they have the bonus system automated to show the required rollover, the % of it you've met, and when/if you meet the rollover, you can transfer it to cash yourself. Again, I just did that and it worked, as I've had several bonus accounts because I've hit their streak contest a few times.

    Their bonuses are a pain in the butt, with the way they set up separate bonus accounts for each bonus. But when you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. Do not, under any circumstances, bet a real longshot with your first bonus bet. That seriously increases the rollover amount.

    I agree BetDSI is scum. However, I like bonuses. Places like Bookmaker and even Heritage are good about their bonuses. You rollover as required and get paid. I always take the bonus.

    If you like Bonuses with large rollovers, the guys at HR Wager, or BetMania have big bonuses with large rollovers.... the only difference is that they will give you an accurate rollover figure and they wont slash your limits just to keep you from cashing out. They might limit you if you are sharp, but DSI will outright slash you to $5 if you get remotely close to completing a difficult rollover. DSI doesn't play fair, and is borderline scamworthy at this point.

    The reason why you guys like Bonuses is because you have little or faith in your own wagering talents. You cannot possibly win in U.S. Sportsbooks, so you take the easy way out. Of course you NEVER end up ahead in the long run. Admit it guys. You NEVER end up ahead.

    I like them because I am never in a rush to cashout, so the rollover does not matter to me most of the time.

    I'm ahead lifetime on online sportsbetting.

    This is completely illogical. If you're a long-term +ROI player and don't bet with money you can't afford to lose, then taking the bonus is a no-brainer. It's free money at that point.

    TheGuesser, thank you but the problem is that rollover requirement figure does not decrease although I bet, it increases. in 3 chats, it increased 2 times. I complained about this, and of course they say everytime for recalculation contact in 24 hours but nothing changes

    I ask a simple question to them, why did bonus increase 2nd time based on the 1st value I noted down? They dont answer this apparently

    since I wrote here I didn't bet anything
    so my balance stays there with nothing happening
    if I can guess correctly the time to lose when I bet I'd go to betdsi and bet

    Honestly I've been playing with them for over a year now I've gotten paid on time lot better than the other books in the roll overs have been automatically calculated for the most part and they have been very generous with 30% re UPS. Theres a pretty good and variety as well and the even have dynamic lines its strange that I am having such a good experience with them most people are not
