    Cold Call Offer from Diamond (Too good to be True??)
    I just got a cold call offer from Diamond and rep i talked to said they are offering a 100% cash bonus on a deposit of $100 with only a 2 time roll over and a free payout. I know they are rated an A+ but would this offer concern anyone that they need to get in new money? I've never seen an offer like that before.

    Any thoughts are appreciated...

    Live chat/e-mail them to verify the deal. It is not too good to be true but it is close. People have gotten great deals in the past but when they make the actual deposit they are told that they do not qualify.

    I would not be concerned really.

      Yeah, watch out these cold callers are salesmen who have no qualms about lying to you to get you to deposit. Most people deposit don't get their bonus then settle for whatever they can get at that point when they are told they were misinformed. It's all BS. Get it confirmed

        CASH BONUS from those people does sound a little too good to be true. You should just call their toll free number on their site 1-877-2-BETDSI (238374) and ask to be transfered to the sales department and ask for the guy that called you to see if you really got a call from them.

        That place is pretty stricked on not offering cash bonuses.
        The most they usually let their sales reps offer is 30% Free Play but for cold calls more but still 100% caSH with 2 time roll sounds like who ever called you was not really from Diamond.

        I would still call them if I were you and ask for that sales rep to see if its true before making an account and putting money in it.

          I´m pretty sure they can afford to give you a free payout and a 100% bonus if they offered it to you on a cold call.
          BookTaker, your join date is Joined: 05-07-09 and prior to your one post you made two posts tonight, calling someone a crybaby to defend Bookmaker and now your second post is here to defend the sales rep for diamond.

          You just happen to have their telephone number handy to.

          OMFG !!!!! You need to work on your cloaking skills, this is the worst I've ever seen.

                          Ive never made a deposit with them in my life. They said that i opened an acct with them a few years ago (which i dont remember doing) but ive never used them before.

                            Hey BChrisB**ch

                            I did edit cause originally I didnt realize he said he got offered a cash bonus. I thought he was talking about a Free Play.

                            Im just trying to help Poker Player 22 avoid getting scammed. Because a lot of shading people have scammed people using good rated books names.

                            That number i gave him is the same number on Diamond´s website so its not that hard to get the number in hand, all you have to do is go to the site.

                            Stop being such a hater.

                            I dont give a crap about Cris or Diamond, they think their s**t dont stink but I do know that they are a good book and that they will never stiff people.

                              Got the same call Monday and I have never deposited with DSI. Was offered $100 deposit for $100 free and 4 poker tournaments of $50 each of my choosing. Cant believe an A+ book would have to call and offer this. Great deal, guess I will find out if its real.

                                This is good advice before accepting any bonus offered over the phone... I always try to conduct business by live chat/email just so I have a copy of the exact terms that were offered...

                                  They do offer $100 for $100 FREE PLAY, 10 time roll over, to targeted customers.

                                      If that email header shows it was sent yesterday they will honor the $100 gets $100. Can you send it as an attachment to Bill@Sportsbookreview.com.

                                        I got another cold call this morning at 8:30am cst from someone named Roy and he told me that the offer was still good. 100 for 100 cash with a 2 time rollover but i must deposit today to receive this offer. This all sounds to me like they are scrambling for deposits and my experience is that if something sounds too good to be true then it probably is....So Im going to pass

                                            CS Diego: We do not have representatives posting at any type of forums....
                                            XXXXXX: okay no worries. thanks anyway.
                                            LOL, Diego couldn't even recognize who scottm@bookmaker or @betcris is. Tells you how much they know what is really going on.

                                            Scott moved up in the ranks w/ Cris/bookmaker. I just think this is funny because here is the CS telling you no to something that came straight from a higher up. Shows how much CS really knows about anything, ... this is why if you ever want anything accomplished you have to over their head as they really are just a bunch of monkeys on the keyboard.

                                              What PharaohUB and some of you guys dont understand in the post that Scott put.

                                              Is the part where he said ´´targeted customers´´ Also he said $100 Free Play for a $100 deposit. (not cash bonus)

                                              Another thing you guys dont understand is that BM is big and has a lot of employees. They have a Sales department and a CS department.

                                              The CS department doesnt have much of an idea about the outbound call bonus offers that the sales department is making to targeted customers.

                                              The sales department targets certain people and those people that get a call are the lucky ones that can take advantage of the bonus offer made on the phone by the sales rep.

                                              If the player is smart, he will remember the name of the guy that called him and call the number on the site and ask for the sales department and ask for a sales supervisor so that the sup can make sure your account was called and qualifies for the bonus. Not get on chat with CS that doesnt know what accounts are being called from sales.

                                              Getting on chat is not going to solve anything because they are not the sales department. And if you have not gotten a call from the sales department with that offer. You problably dont qualify for that bonus.

                                              I know BChrisB likes to say I am a shill for BM or something like that.

                                              I´ll be straight up with you guys I am an ex sales rep there and I am on their sh*t list so I am not winning anything by talking good about them. But I cannot talk bad about them because they always paid me on time and they pay every customer that makes a withdraw request with no lame excuses or run arounds like other places.

                                              BCrisB likes to talk all this crap about how they are in financial trouble because they are making cold calls but the truth is that they are making cold calls because they can and because they feel like it. Because they are a book with no limits. They take small and big players and always welcome new players so if a guy gets a good offer from them. That guy should definately take advantage of it because he wont always have that bonus opportunity from a Ferrari Book like BM.

                                              Not many books can afford to have a sales department with first class technology and keep reps working all year round even in the low season with no hour cuts like BM. So all that talk about them being in trouble because they are making cold calls is just garbage from a person that has no idea what hes talking about.

                                              Its a business that always keeps investing in marketing and can afford to. There is nothing wrong with a business willing to take on new customers and make them special offers to sign up.

                                              And for pokerplayer22. You should call the # on the site and ask for the sales department and make sure you are really being called from them. Somtimes the sales rep can sound desperate because hes trying to make a living. He gets paid comission on your deposit even if you win and take a payout. But its better to make sure you are really getting called from the company and not some scammer.

                                                  Yes, I did say that.

                                                  No, I didn't say that. I never said that they are in financial troubles either, I speculated the possiblity (quite clearly with my own words) without stating anything other than was is fact:

                                                  Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.


                                                  Furthermore, never once on this forum or any others have I ever told people not to play there (quite the contrary.) I play there. I'm platinum there actually to tell the truth. I did all my betting there this weekend to quite honest. That still doesn't change anything. Sorry, I don't buy it that they are so big and great that they cold call because they can. When Bookmaker started, they were extremely professional with everything. I was jumping for joy and was doing cartwheels inside my head because I thought there was someone who stepped up to the place for Pinnacle's absence to the US Market. Then there seemed to be an abrupt switch in their business model. I noticed simultaneously from the player end and the affiliate end the change of events which I stated. Please don't tell me a company is cold calling because they can. No company with true integrity would resort to that measure unless they ran out of other more feasible options.

                                                  The time line that I pointed out in the other (same as the link provided) thread is true, or as true as I can possibly make it with all the information I can gather.

                                                  Bookmaker is still a must have (at least for NFL, NCAAF, NBA, and NCAAB) for any player worldwide. They need to work on their baseball lines for sure though. I never said they weren't and for people not to play there, I play there.

Plus I just noticed that it takes Diamond/Bookmaker 7-10 days to process a simple **/western payout...Could that be right? Anyway, thanks again fellas.
                                                                    5 Dimes does have a lot better and more Bonus options than BM, thats for sure (in my opinion) because of their different wager style line options.

                                                                    Thats whats great about having so many places to choose from. Everyone has their favorites.
