Another of the long established offshore sportsbooks, BetDSI, has reportedly stopped paying some customers.
mcd6802 relayed his experience at BetDSI via the SportsBookReview.com website:
I've had an account here for about 20 years. Used to be the site was fine. Unfortunately, this site has failed to act on my last number of payout requests. Support has been reduced to email only, and the email support has done nothing to address the issue.
What is worse is that I don't even have that big of a balance and am not requesting large payouts. They are not even paying withdrawal requests of only a couple hundred dollars. I've tried giving them more action as an inducement to pay me so as to keep me as a customer. That hasn't worked. If BetDSI is not motivated enough even to retain its long-term customers, something is very, very wrong.
I warned BetDSI I would make public complaints and got no response to my 1-star Trustpilot review. The fact that they don't even seem to care about their public reputation anymore I think should tell you all you need to know.
BetDSI first started operating as Diamond Sports International in 1997. For much of its existence, BetDSI had operated out of the BetCRIS building and was managed by Bookmaker.eu. The company broke off from this relationship over ten years ago.
BetDSI was among the websites caught up in a 2011 sting operation that resulted in one of its .com variation sites going into forfeiture, though the BetDSI.com site did manage to survive.
Like many offshore sportsbooks today, BetDSI has been choked off from advertising on most websites due to the emerging US regulated market.
But BetDSI's struggles appeared to start right after breaking away from the BetCRIS/Bookmaker family.

"BetDSI has been a joke for years. Once they left the Cris/Bookmaker umbrella it has been many slow pays and quite a few No pays. Don't play at BETDSI."
