    The VERY BEST thing one can do is have/find friends that actually play at venues be it offshore or here in the mainland and rely on them for info

    I think it's going to suddenly be OK to criticize BOL here.

    SBR owes us nothing. Adapt or die. Going to laugh when guys like HedgeHog gets stiffed and can't cry to SBR for help.

    Because I can? And certain people who cry on here deserve it.

    For now, but only after you do a second rollover. Plus they don't tell you when you completed the first RO. Instead you have to contact them and do another 1x RO--even if you did way more than the original RO. What other Book does this? BTW, they have confiscated winnings from players that had free play put in their dormant accounts, claiming that it was given in error--conveniently not paying after the RO was completed. Just a matter of time before they start stealing real funds. Likewise I wouldn't shed a tear if you're the first to experience this.

    One point of agreement that we do have is that SBR will no longer help us when offshore books rip us off, so act accordingly.

    Yeah, I like the BOL books a lot too, in fact I currently play at all 3 (BOL, SB and LV). I also left DSI about 2 years ago. They then gave me a $100 free play promo to entice me back, only to reneg after I completed the RO. They showed their true colors, a thief in waiting. I wouldn't send them a dime in real money, especially now.

    Wait a minute. You're saying that you will laugh at people for getting stiffed at offshores...AND you are a DSI apologist?

    WTF???

    If any offshore decides to stiff people, they will be near the top of the list.

    They paid me over 15k so as long as I get paid that's all that matters. If they stiff HH or anyone else then figure it out.

    It's good until it's not Canuck. But I'm sure DSI won't ever steal from you because you're special.

    wow, that was quick and a little unexpected by me. I'm stuck in limbo here in Washington with US books but I think we'll get there eventually.

    DSI have not responded at all about the last couple of complaints I have tried to mediate with them.

    Not sure what changed in there. They had actually become really helpful and reasonable since about 2019 and I was building up a reasonably high level of confidence in them. :\
