Warning from an ex employee of Futurebet/ Digital Gaming Network

Mustbeblufin · #1 09-02-2007, 11:46 PM

I am curious to know more and I hope OP comes back. I only downloaded two: TheNutz and Vegas 24. TheNutz has 15 players and Vegas had maybe 150 so they seem to be on separate DGN networks. Maybe another DGN owner can chime in(yeah right huh).

I guess it is safe to assume to not keep much money on their if you play, but I would like to hear more. It was nice to see another US network.

I did notice TheGreek is DGN and they get an A+ from SBR as does BetJamaica A+ and then Sportsinteraction D+. Why would 2 of the highest rated sportsbooks join such a shady organization?

Poker World has been a part of Dobrosoft for their entire existance. They were a standalone Dobro and when ACR and a bunch of skins went to Ongame the remaining Dobro skins all became the same network leaving Poker World as the anchor. Dobro sold to DGN and I guess Poker World felt comfortable staying, maybe they were bound by contract.

Where else would they go? Prima does not take 11 US states and none of the other major sites seem to be taking licensees. Any move would likely be to a network even smaller then where they are. Even if they moved to Cake's Network they would still be on the same network as a bunch of D graded sportsbooks. They pay on time so they must not be too affected by the Futurebet mess. If I was going to play on DGN Poker World would be the skin of choice for me. Long after FB finally dies The Greek will live on.

Yeah it just seems odd that two big and reputable sportsbooks would join a network that could die because of FB. Hopefully this is the end of FB and the start of DGN. Options are definitely limited. 39 states seems better than no rake though .

Poker World is owned by one of the most respected sportsbooks on the net and is on DGN, that is the safest skin to play on by far.

I wanted to play at Poker World. However, I am a US citizen and resident. Since Poker World does not accept Epassporte, I could not find a convenient means to deposit to its site.

Do any of the DGN skins use Futurebet any more? Even Pokes have severed ties with them, although good luck getting any money from them because FB owes them millions.

Who owns them?

Olympic Sportsbook aka Thegreek.com. The best way to deposit into PW is probably by a Western Union type transfer. They will likely reimburse fees on deposits $300+ as most books do. Send them an email and find out.

I verified yesterday that TheNutz was showing a small subset of DGN's tables. I emailed them about it but haven't heard back yet. Probably just a setting that someone screwed up and hasn't noticed yet, but it's odd.
