I opened an account with them a couple years ago and some time in 2014 or early 2015 I made a deposit and withdrawal that went through fine. It was small though. I think the check was $800 and change.
I also deposited $1000 I think at the beginning of the 2015 NFL regular season, but I lost that and never redeposited.
The reason I asked is because I couldn't find much current info on whether or not they were still paying out fine and I wanted to bet a few $K on the super bowl, but I was a little bit hesitant to do that with a smaller book.
If I remember right their line was better and I could get a much better bonus than 5Dimes.
That's probably not all that helpful, but it's pretty much all the info I can share.

Just coming to warn other players (new account because forgot my pass and this is a new computer)

Do Not go to Pokerstars/betstars
The software is awful and full of bugs. I made over 100 bets all on soccer in the last month and have had a few problems:
- Some bets don't settle when the bet is won. even 30 hours after the event ended the bet is still pending so you have your money trapped.
- support ignores your emails and responds to 50% of them with pure nonsense like they think you are clueless.
- petty sure they start lowering the odds if they find a pattern in your bets.
- Once when I cashed out a bet, they paid me lower than the value offered without warnings.
- have to reload frequently because page wont load well

bet365 is better in almost every aspect. never bet on sportstars/pokerstars.

completely agree i have a pending bet since thursday. still waiting for my money. support responded with this. bet365 is simply the best imo too bad its not licensed anymore in my country.

> Hey . Any chance i can get my money before 17:00EET today because i would like to bet and theres no way in hell im depositing any more money after waiting 2 days for you guys to close a bet.

I know there must be a thread about this but can't find it. Google searches are all over the place and would rather get info from people who use these sites.

I'm making 1 big bet and looking for best places for a quick in and out payout (if I win NCAA)

I've deposited Max in 5 Dimes, Top Bet, and BetOnline and now looking for other sites.

I will be making my deposit via Western Union/MoneyGram

First off, thank you. Without you guys, this whole thing wouldn't be sustainable.

If you're just looking to get down more money, BetOnline and 5dimes take multiple bets so you could just keep betting the max there. Just wait a bit in between bets in case they move the line on you.

Thanks.. But what I mean is I've reached my deposit max. You can only deposit so much cash. The only way I can deposit is WU or MG. Have joint account with wife and have to do it this way.

Wow has this happened to anyone I can only bet a dollar wtf

How much have you won over X time at that book?

Tennis is usually one of the first sports you get cut off from. If you want a book where you won't get limited on tennis ever, go with Betcris, Pinnacle or Matchbook (the latter of which is an exchange former two regular sportsbooks)

Most of the soft books limit you pretty quickly.

yep, really sorry when the bookies are doing this
when you are limited but still want to use the same bookie i heard from my fellows can open account via agent coz they don't share your info with other third partys, there are many agents that can help you but better to research all their options before to deposit,
currently I use http://bet-ibc.com/ and it works fine first sums are back in my ewallet acc(use it due to some country gambling restrictions); do not hold any experiences about the others

Is there a way for US players to use this?

You don't have the need.

Alright guys, so I'm looking for good lines on baseball and tried to deposit to 5Dimes using my credit card. Unfortunately it got denied. Dang it. My credit card is now restricted. ****. I'm from the US so that must be why. Any way to get around this? I don't want to use WU either cuz they suck.

What do you think the best way to deposit is?

As far as I know US not accepted, but they welcome people from other countries

Bitcoin

BTC all the way - or go old school with a brick and mortar boogie man

Don't put money on 5Dimes, there an article in this forum discussing it's possible closure and numerous issues regarding the site in general.

5Dimes is fine. For several years never had any issues. Use Bitcoin.

I don't have any Bitcoin. I really hate the concept of Bitcoin, but it seems like this is my only option. Any idea of how to get Bitcoins? Also will the money be converted to $ when I deposit, because I think Bitcoin sucks and will eventually be worthless.

Do you have the thread saying 5dimes is closing? My impression was that it was well respected and appears to have amazing lines from what I've seen.

If I could get money into 5dimes I think my baseball profits could go up somewhere from 2 to 4 percent!

lol @

"I really hate the concept of Bitcoin",

"I think Bitcoin sucks" ..... uhmmm,

"any idea how to get Bitcoins ?"

Sorry, no idea, try google

I know there are ton of Shady sites and I really don't want to go back to Full blown Sports betting....But I just want to bet a few games today and want to use BIT COINS and know I will get paid in BITCOINS immediately if I happen to win ....

Bitcoin is a way to transfer money. You don't have to hold bitcoin long to use bitcoin.

1.Set up an account at circle.com, set it to USD if you don't like bitcoin. Set up connection between your circle account and your bank account.
2. Set up an account at blockchain.
3.Transfer money from your bank account to your circle account.
4. Send money to your blockchain account from your cirlcle account.
5. Send money to 5dimes from your blockchain account.
Only the money in blockchain will be held in bitcoin, which will be less than one hour.

nitrognsports. as far as i know impeccable reputation. immediate cashouts

I'm in the us and looking for books that are taking election bets. Are there any reputable ones other than betonline or bovada?

If you have a balance with 5dimes I'd be happy to trade for it at .98.
