Just visited www.gambling911.com and was surprized to read that DSI is apparently having cash-flow problems. I thought these guys had deep pockets. Is this story bogus?
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> 911 ADVISORY Sources close to 911 have informed us that Diamond Sports (BetDSI.com) is currently in the midst of serious cash flow problems. A number of players, agents, advertisers currently being slow paid. We hope to have more details shortly however all 911 readers are advised to use extreme caution here.

2 upper employees have left due to internal problems. If these 2 left, believe me, where there is smoke there is fire. Cant say more, but if I was holding any kind of bankroll there I would bail ASAP. Just my 2 cents.
Joey C, my sources indicate that DSI is owed money through their agents, perhaps the current payout situation is reflection of a temporary cash crunch?
Their main just returned from Europe the other day, and we chatted.
All seemed ok.. I don't know what to say about the trash Stink writes but I know they got hit hard by a big West Coast Player the week before, but they were in the process of paying him off and in full.
If their main man was really stuck for $$, he could reach out.
Guys, I know for a fact that two of the upper management guys have left, they were here in Toronto a couple of weeks ago and I got a chance to met them. In my opinion this is a stay away from situation, DSI and sister company Vegas International.
Joey C...I normally don't make it a habit to go out on a limb regarding things beyond my immediate control...we'll just sit-back and see what the future decides what DSI's history will become.
In the meantime, I've alerted those who have a vested interest.
I have been with them for years and hope there is nothing going on but it was unusual that I requested a neteller and got the old "please call sportsbook" which means there is no funds in neteller.
There is simply no excuse for this. Pinnacle and wsex keep six figures there at all times. The best form of advertising they can do is pay everyone and guys like me will come back football season end of story. I have about 8 dimes there and when I get it I will report back.

I whole heartedly agree...IF I receive the "please call sportsbook" message from ANY BM upon requesting a withdrawal, I am immediately OUT and will NEVER return.
If one cannot immediately PAY (fully) upon demand they have disrepected their client to the point of termination.
Hoping you GET OUT with ALL your funds.

A book could get a run on $$ for neteller payouts, shortly after Neteller sent a wire to the books bank which would cause the book to be Neteller "low" for a day or two.

Which certainly could be the case here...
However, I find it completely unacceptable to NOT have the professional responsibility of managing Neteller funds in a manner, which precludes the "please call sportsbook" message.
No excuse is acceptable for inadequate Neteller account funding...just the business principles I expect from a professional organization.
