SCAM ALERT: BlackDog Sportsbook falsely claiming to be part of 5Dimes
Players report being solicited by the book which uses the website BlackDogEG.com and the slogan "Got Credit?" Blackdog is attempting to gain business by misrepresenting itself and offering players the ability to bet without deposits. This scam usually ends with bettors being unable to collect winnings, often after already having paid the book for previous losing weeks.
5Dimes users will receive a warning message from customer service by email with the following statement:
It has come to our attention that another sportsbook has been soliciting customers claiming to be associated with 5Dimes. 5Dimes is NOT associated or partnered with any other offshore sportsbook. Any company stating they are working with 5Dimes in any manner is a fraudulent scam trying to steal player's money using the 5Dimes good name. There is only ONE 5Dimes. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please contact 5Dimes customer service.
SCAM ALERT: BlackDog Sportsbook offering credit line to BetRoyal (*** rating D+) users.
*** has received reports from bettors that have been solicited from new Costa Rican sportsbook, BlackDogEG.com and offered to wager on credit. A former BetRoyal employee is representing the book, calling and emailing players he previously serviced. This is an extremely risky proposition for the player as well as bookmaker and is considered a reckless way of bringing in action. *** has received many complaints from players who have been scammed as a result of similar offers. *** can rarely assist in these situations which are usually based on hearsay verbal agreements.
