    Beware of bonus offers from slow-pay and no-pay sportsbooks

    Beware of bonus offers from slow-pay and no-pay sportsbooks
    Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D) is currently mailing bettors offers of 100% bonuses. The sportsbook hasn't paid some of its non-US bettors in two months. Over a dozen sports bettors have reported that BetCascade (SBR rating F), which has owed its players an estimated 2 million for almost 6 months, has called offering 20% cash bonuses.

    100% Bonuses

    We are able to give bettors 100% bonuses because we accept a smaller bottom line to attract more players. We also have a rollover of 8x Deposit and Bonus to ensure that players put up a fair stake amount to keep there bonus money.

    About three months ago Futurebet decided to stop paying Dimeline's players. Futurebet was taking deposits but not paying players. Futurebet was stealing deposits all the way up until about one-month ago.

    When this happened Dimeline decided to pay players out of pocket which was hard to do because most of the players affected by this were bigger players who hold higher balances. Most of these players were outside the USA and had deposited using Neteller and Money Bookers yet Futurebet was not paying the players back with the same method. In fact they were not paying players at all.

    This left Dimeline stuck with all player balances while Futurbet stole over thousands of dollars in player deposits, and rolling reserves which were in Neteller and Money Bookers. Dimeline is now paying out of pocket and will have 100% of our players paid by December 1, 2007. After December 1, 2007 we will be able to pay players on time as quoted on our website.

    Dimeline now uses independent servers, financial outlets as well as Customer support. We are also planning on joining the Micro Gaming Poker Network in the upcoming months.

    We are very excited to get out from the FB umbrella as it has been a horrible experience for all involved. I hope this clears up the Dimeline/Futurebet issue. If any of you have any other questions feel free to ask me directly dimelinesportsbook@gmail.com.

    Players may now deposit using Credit/Debit Cards, Echecks, **, ** and Bank Wires. Players may withdrawal using Check, ** and **.

    The message here is pretty clear. Stick with tried and true books and you probably won't go wrong.

    Or as my grand daddy used to say...If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    BBD, anything to worry about with Lazerwager?

    They have a stupid contest every Sunday that if you win you have to keep the money in account for 30 days

    Are they a risk of shutting down in the next few months?
