SBR – A Dimeline Sportsbook (SBR rating D-) player owed $1,100 since June 8 has still yet to be paid. Dimeline has provided no updates on the player’s payout status, nor updates on a player owed $2,400 since February 1. Dimeline has admitted intentionally slow-paying the second player and has since discontinued all communication with SBR.
Dimeline Sportsbook belongs to the BTG Global NV group and is considered the top brand within the family and has been around the longest. Now dubbed BTG Global, the group previously referred to itself as the Safari Casino Group, which powered SafariCasino and other websites.
The sportsbook has returned to the rough tactics it developed a negative reputation for back in 2009, when a player was threatened with having his sportsbook balance confiscated if negative forum posts were not erased.
Dimeline actually spent the next three years rebuilding their image, even crediting players with bailout adjustments who had been stiffed by Parlaymakers (SBR rating F). Dimeline was at its highest rated C in the sportsbook ratings guide as of June 2011.
The family of sportsbooks, which includes WagerUp, VIPSports.eu, and DailyDime, is no longer willing to discuss player issues with SBR.
As a result of the slow-pays and lack of communication to owed players, Dimeline has been added to the SBR Sportsbook blacklist. Dimeline Sportsbook was also listed in SBR’s top five sportsbooks to avoid list headed into the upcoming 2013 NFL and NCAAF football seasons.
