John,
Read this post from our mutual friend and the guy that you and I respect more than anyone else on this board. Then read it again. Bob says he could be wrong, but he's not, and you and I both know it. There is a ZERO POINT ZERO chance that someone at DSI simply transposed a number or two in Pat's account number and it came up as a "test account," because...
...test accounts are almost universally labeled as such when set up, with the word "TEST" somewhere in the account number field. This is done precisely to avoid a situation like this.
I do believe you when you say that that's what they told you the first time you spoke with them about the issue. Your bullshit detector probably went into high gear at that point, but with DSI being at the least the sponsor of EOG contests, you were afraid to protest too loudly. That's when you, through no fault of your own, were officially put in the awful spot that you're now in. No matter what you did, SOMEONE was going to wind up pissed off, so you did what many people do when faced with a fork in the road; you tried to take both forks, and wound up taking neither. now EVERYONE is pissed.
Remember, it's not like Pat just submitted the withdrawal request 2 days before his original post He had been trying to get paid for weeks, and was thrown every excuse in the book until they literally ran out of excuses.
This is a far better summary than I could have written, and it's probably closest to the actual truth. We NEED (and deserve) the WHOLE truth though. As others have pointed out, BetDSI's and EOG's reputations are now severely damaged, There's quite a bit of chatter about this on other forums (even other gambling forums not focused on sports betting.) and to be frank, in a lot of it you're basically being seen as a shill for BetDSI. Regardless, t's a really bad look for both DSI and this site.
In my opinion, we need to know AT A MINIMUM:
A.) The true extent of the financial ties between BetDSI and EOG. Is it contest sponsorships only, or does DSI help fund the day-to-day operation of the forum?
B.) Does DSI compensate you personally for your service as site moderator? If so, what metric is said compensation based on? Do you receive any compensation if an EOG member establishes a BetDSI account? If so, are you compensated based on their losses or on their theo? (Obviously NOT asking for specific numbers here.)
C.) What was BetDSI"s ACTUAL reason for attempting to deny payment to Pat? if they just didn't like his action, fine. They can just come out and say so and we'll all move on.
John, pretty much none of us here believe the "official story" as currently presented. Maybe we're all wrong and this is all just a monstrous misunderstanding, but pretty much ALL the available evidence flies in the face of that argument. I'm not accusing you of hiding anything; it's entirely possible that you don't know any more than we do at this point. We need answers though, and fast. If I were you I would be doing whatever i could at this point to facilitate that.
