Default DSI - when will they cut you off?

I've already been limited to $500 per game by them. I have yet to request a withdrawal from them. I am wondering if they will cut me off completely if I request a withdrawal 1k or larger (NOT my entire account balance). Or if they cut my limits below $500 that would also be very very bad... Anyone have experience like this they can speak from?

Also if anyone knows the timeframe of their payouts right now, please let me know, probably most interested in bank wire option (yes I am in the USA)

Thanks all

King, there seems to be a variety of answers to this question, from what I gather of previous DSI discussions. I will offer up my own experience for what it's worth.....

I find that they are slower than most books to cut your limits. I played rather successfully with them for 2 or 3 years before sanctions were imposed. Some of my limits were dropped and then I was informed that I would no longer be eligible for the Loyalty Program.

I'm a little surprised by the $500 max, as I've not been hit with that blow...As for the remainder of your question, I'm sorry that I'm of no help as I'm Canadian, but I'm quite sure someone will be along with advice shortly.

Again, just my experience and everyone's seems to be different, but I hope this helps.....

They have changed quite a bit recently. They now cut aggressively, especially with new accounts. I've not heard of anyone getting cut off completely though.

is 500 where they stop the cutting, or do they go below that with the limit collars?

thanks!

I've only recently heard of people getting that low and never lower, though I'm sure it's possible these days.

I was cut to $500 and after several typical cris customer service beat my head against the wall phone calls I got $1,000 back.

I think we'll see more and more of this from top tier books, between the US legislation and the global economy, the ability to attract -EV bets is falling, which means they need (and can stand) less +EV bets from the bigger/smarter players.

A lot of books are getting hammered on that recently, too much inside info being passed around. Even mighty pinnies have cut limits to nothing.

i doubt it's "inside info" it's probably more like the books are putting out shitty lines. some people are good at picking off the weak lines

bottom line is i was betting steam they cut me to 500 i kept betting then they cut me to 250

im sure if i keep bettting they will cut me to 100 or 50

Wow, collared at DSI to $250? That's crazy. I've won 50k+ from them and I still have $2k limits.

Well, steambetting is kinda an exception to all normal limits. You can't really lose doing that, and they know it.

I had to call in and talk to the guys when I got collared by CRIS (which is the same thing, basically), and we worked out a deal. The problem is that their software can't collar you in NCAAB only, which is likely what they would want to do, so you end up cut off across the board.

it's not -- and sorry to confuse, by cris, I meant bookmaker -- and they are no longer remotely the same... they are owned the same still and in the past had virtually similar management and mostly the same prices aside from baseball.. today the risk management is complete different. theoretically it always was -- though hitting a max bet on the same line at both would get you in trouble -- so obviously it wasn't completely different...

now, though dsi is limiting virtually everyone that shows even the slightest promise. from what i've gathered, if you have an older dsi account, they wont limit you unless you are up -- but opening a new one tomorrow and betting a moving a # and you will get $1,000 max on everything instantly.

Cris is still taking bets like always --- generally speaking -- though they seem to be cutting back on limits for everyone way more often these days. i guess that's just the way it is right now

to add, however, cris/bookmaker will take your bets and they won't **** you over.

they may charge a ****ing fortune to get your money out... but that's their preoperative.

if this is an issue for you---- you need to get pinnacle

Hey Shill Faggots. Call your buddies at DSI and tell them to ****ing pay already.

This steller book is the only "top tier" book I know of that does not immediately process a Moneygram payout. When I told their supervisor this, she said, "Well it is because we have more players than anyone else." ROFL

Requested a moneygram on the 14th. they haven't even taken the money out of my account to cover the payout yet. It is the goddamn 26th.

Spoke to a CS rep on the 23rd who told me the payout was going to be processed later that day! "The money should be coming out of your account any time!"
It obviously never happened so I called the next day and spoke to a supervisor. "I am sorry you were given incorrect information but that is not my responsibility because I did not tell you that." I tried to explain to her the concept of a supervisor, and how the fact that she is the customer service supervisor makes her inherently responsible for the actions of the customer service agents she oversees. She did not grasp this concept. "Before we issue a payout it has to go through every department, casino, poker, even if you did not play in those departments!" This is the bullshit excuse I am given every time I ask why I have not had a ****ing moneygram processed yet. a ****ing moneygram.

DSI is garbage. I challenge anyone to find 1 redeeming quality about this book.

Shrug. I've had no problems with them, ever. I'm not a DSI shill, just reporting positive experiences.
