Career as a football referee

After Dintar had played football in various lower league clubs, he suffered a serious motorcycle accident. His colleague, Paul Pethö, a referee in Burgenland, persuaded Dintar after his recovery, to take the exam for football referees. This he took in 1997.

Because of good performance, Dintar rose quickly as referee in the Austrian Regional League. Already in the 2002/03 season, Dintar was assistant Bundesliga referee alongside Wolfgang Falb and Thomas Paukowits.

On 28 March 2006, Dintar officiated a qualifying match, in the Austrian Football First League, between FC Kufstein and DSV Leoben (0:2). On 1 July 2006, he was awarded the Bundesliga status as referee. Dintar was included in the squad for the First League and on 11 August 2006 refereed his first official match (FC Gratkorn against FC Kärnten) as Bundesliga referee in the second highest Austrian league.

Начиная с сезона 2010/11, Динтар исполнял обязанности матчей в самой высокой австрийской лиге, Бундеслиге.

3 марта 2010 года Динтар посвятил себя международному матчу U20 Frendliy между Германией и Швейцарией (1: 1), его первый международный матч.

Летом 2015 года Динтар закончил свою карьеру в качестве рефери Бундеслиги в возрасте 41 года. Но он продолжает исполнять обязанности матчей в Региональной лиге Восточной и Бургенландии.
