Online Sportsbook Concerns Arise: DimeLine Sportsbook Stalls

Online sports betting group, DimeLine Sportsbook, is in "slow pay" mode according to numerous posts on the SBR Forum

"I do not think this book has any funds available to pay players," claimed the proprietor of Peep's Place, another online sportsbook posting forum two months ago.

While he ultimately did receive his first payment, the wait continues for a second check. There is no blaming the U.S. ban on Internet gambling here.

"I am in Canada. Why they would claim that Canadians customs would hold a check ‘for up to 20 days' beats me."

Others wait as well.

Another individual had this to post:

"I would recommend all players to steer clear of this book.

"I deposited $500 there roughly eight months ago and ran it up to 6K. I have been trying to make withdrawls through various methods there since late April and have not received one cent. All I am getting from them is the runaround and excuses.

"I am ready to just write this one off, but I don't want others to make the same mistake I have."

In summary, this online sportsbook doesn't appear as if it is going to make it much past the football season, assuming it's still even open come September.
