They might be hurting for customers, I cannot think of another reason.

786-xxx-xxxx?? If that's the number then I got about 15-20 call from them this week as well, including about 3 within 2 hours one day.

I'm just trying to think of a good excuse to get em off my back.

Tell them to fukk themselves that simple, unless you owe them cash, if so pony up.

BBD or other mods, make some calls and threaten a rating drop.

I will never play at Bookmaker again because of this.

dsi has been blowing up my cell all week, i googled the number and found out its betcris/bm/dsi

why don't they leave a message on my voicemail? they call 2x day everyday this week including today.

i spoke with someone on chat earlier, and he said he emailed the ones in charge of that, so i guess they will chill out. if not i hope they call tomorrow, ive got a friend that will go apeshit on them and i'll let him answer my phone.

i fvcked up when i sign up for them for btp and gave them a legit number, there's no telling who theyre going to sell it to now.
i was hoping that they would think its not a valid number, and since they haven't confirmed it, it wouldnt get lumped in with their marketing bs. a company that will do this cares nothing about their customers and like i said will probably sell our info to the first douche that comes along.

They call me all the time, haven't called lately. They hang up and just call back when I threaten with the feds.

isn't there something SBR can do, I mean i've called Customer service, I've emailed them, ask the callers...all they do is just keep ****ing calling.

pm me any numbers they are using. I already turned over a few to the justice department and the US assistant attorney general will be investigating them. Those ****s get what they deserve no joke. Cris can go **** themselves.

Unfortunately SBR will do nothing about it. Their one and only fault is protecting this shit book. Get ahold of the OSGA and they will put a stop to it with one simple phone call.

They almost lost all of my business during MLB but have been great for football. MLB lines have miraculously come inline with BetJam and 5dimes over the last two weeks. There fees are outrageous and like no other.

a guaranteed way for me to never reup or deposit with a book is for them to call me

that is absolute horseshit that sbr members are getting multiple calls per day even though they are told not interested

that should be an automatic no questions asked downgrade in rating

It's simple, when they call you, record the entire conversation, then turn it over to your states attorney general. That should get some wheels turnin....

Got two calls from them also within the last week, on the 2nd call I told him the beeping in the background was the call being recorded. They hung up on me and havent called back.I have no info but id guess the lack of easy ways to fund/get paid are really taking a toll on the offshore books this year.

I will give them (DSI) credit for not calling back, which is more than I can say for the damn Republican Party which calls every day between 6-7 pm. Sad part about this, is Ive already absentee voted, but it doesnt seem to faze them from calling, even after telling them I absentee voted.

later
