Sportsbooks to survive lethal Futurebet partnership?

DimeLine Sportsbook offers updates on customer service and payout complaints while lifeless sportsbook, USDbet, claims it is under new management and players will see it pay again.

USDbet (SBR rating F) has failed to respond to players and SportsBook Review since informing SBR it was victimized by Futurebet in October of last year and did not have player funds. The sportsbook's management suggests there is reason for players to be optimistic.

USDbet:

Dear Bill, USDBet is under new management and finally doing its own processing. Software will remain the same, however the problem was with processing not the software. We are paying out all pending withdrawals, so please redirect players who have contacted you with withdrawal problem to this mailing address: mail@usdbet.com. Thank you. Best regards, James USDBet.com

DimeLine Sports (SBR rating D) tells SBR it will address complaints and that the book is close to upgrading its customer service department.

DLS:

Apparently after reading your forum there are still some complaints regarding payouts from Dimeline. Our payouts are completely current and if here are clients who have not been paid it is a mistake. Please let the players know to contact me directly at aglende27@gmail.com and I will take care of this. Also I wanted to let you know that we are a few weeks away from providing our own customer support and completely being out from futurebet's horrible support team. We are also launching our poker network by June 1, 2008 and bringing back Neteller which will speed up the payout process for international clients. If you notice there are no payout complaints from USA clients.

SBR currently has three slow-pay and customer service complaints from DLS users. DLS has thus far survived a partnership with Futurebet, which stole bankrolls and profits from the majority of its licensees. BetOnUSA (SBR rating D-) was the last book to join the no-pay network. BetOnUSA is believed to have taken over the Futurebet software source code and partnered with the network which did its last cash-grab on turnkey sportsbooks and their players.

If you survive something, was it really lethal?

Thanks for the write up, sir. If those two books are being run by honest managers, they should, at the least, have understood what happens when you lay down with dogs.

Not to you but if the Futurebet bite has already proved lethal to others then it's lethal, in a general sense.

USD passed on switching to another provider likely because they can't pay players they owe now which would be a prerequisite. They claim they are going to do their own processing and just use Futurebet's software. Since they can't pay players from 07 it's a safe bet they are waiting for deposit season. USDbet got some of their players from gambling forums.

futurebet is worse than bos, they have such a complex method of stealing that they just keep exploiting over and over
