    Bookmaker/DSI

    Are there any advantages to being active with both accounts there or is it pointless? Would I see the same exact lines and juice at both? Do they treat each book as different entities or is it really just one place? I do like the loyalty program both places offer but Im just trying to figure out if its worth having cash at both or just keep it at one. Thanks for any insight.

    I asked Bookmaker the same question because I was curious myself, here is a copy and paste of their email reply:

    Actually, both companies operate under the same building but are
    > owned by
    > > separate partners. We share operational resources only.

    DSI seems to have better bonuses, especially in the casino and poker area. Bookmaker comes out with lines faster. On the occasional game the lines will be half point different.

    They both pay fast, and the poker room is soft as hell so I would definitely sing up with one of them. I prefer DSI but that's just me because I like bonuses more, but it's not really all that different than Bookmaker.

    They both have been paying me in one day, well I should say DSI has but they use the same cashier. I request *************** payout and it's there within two days max. I guess its' because I've been playing there so long but they have always been known to payout fast. '

    Good luck

    Before I came to realise that they very rarely had prices competitive with my prime books I had accounts with Bookmaker, CRIS and DSI.
    Whilst they (mostly always) had identical odds on offer they all had the same limits.
    So I'd simultaneous put bets in at all three of them to triple my limit. It worked well.
    But they just didn't have good enough odds often enough and as they had also booted me from their rewards scheme I closed my accounts.

    Thanks guys, sounds like its probably worth it to have both for the bonuses, poker and betpoints then.

    If you can whore some bonuses at both places, it's ok of course...
    but be warned, especially DSI is slipping at the moment. And *always* let bonuses be confirmed before you deposit, if that is what you are after, coz even in the live chat they might say bullshit like "yes sir you ca get blah blah", and later you are "not eligible" as it turns out.

    Monte...can you expand on "slipping at the moment"...is this just regarding the bonus program and/or whole operation?

    Sure...DSI cuts limits very fast now, and uses delays. They also deny european players bonuses, despite offering soccer and stuff, and advertising here and at other places with their professional outfit.
    It's something that noone thought would happen, at a CRIS powered book.

    DSI has been paying me fast, how are they slipping?

    Bonuses haven't been so great lately but I think that's just from the cost of processing payouts and deposits have gone up. I have accounts at both places, same software, same cashier, same poker room, casino, Black Jack tournaments. So really not much difference, but on the occasional game I notice a half point difference and in the past DSI has been very good with bonuses compared to Bookmaker.

    Their casino bonus is real crap now. Only winnings above the bonus amount are retained after you met the 40x bonus requirements. Then, even if you loose the whole bonus you still need to do 40x bonus wagering requirements on your deposit.

    Wanted to deposit 400$ for 100$ freeplay and 250$ casino bonus then I saw I would need to do 16k$ of bets (40x deposit roll over) +10k roll over on the bonus + 2000$ sportsbook roll over (=28k) for basically a 100$ FP + a 250$ casino freeplay with a very high chance of losing or winning very little in the casino...


    Nice promotions DSI/bookmaker
