I know 2 people who had to jump thru hoops before finally getting paid from there. I know another who has never had a problem. I wouldn't play there.

Neemer,
Where did you get this info? Is there a story about this situation somewhere that I can read? Does "jumping ship" mean going out of buisness....? Or is it more a matter of trying to find a different partner or partners?
I've played there consistently for 3 years now and haven't had a single problem. Use Neteller for deposits and withdrawls....has always gone fast and easy.....although it's a personal rule of mine to NEVER keep any more than $1,000 in ANY book, as I do not completely trust any of them.....no matter what! :nono: Any further information on this would be greatly appreciated, as this actually is my main book. Thanks

Sixfive, did not know if i could post the g-911 info. figured that once he got into the RX, he would hit the link that said "MORE RUMORS AT G-911". sorry if this confused anyone. TOM

Thanks guys! Did not know that website even existed before now. Very interesting info there....although I take the rumors for just that. Not going to get all bent out of shape (yet) over this until I at least see something to further substantiate this rumor as something I should truly get concerned about. Obviously I would prefer them to remain in buisness, somehow...someway. But if they don't, I know there are a ton of other plenty solid (as of now, anyway) books out there. Maybe a good time to switch to infinity, especially with them sponsoring this huge upcoming NFL contest ;) :shrug: Thanks again for the info. :)

Owl....

Just to be on the safe side, I'd probably take about 1/2 out and see if ya have any problems getting it. They shouldn't charge ya anything if it's a relatively large amount($500)....You can always stick it back in.

Thanks Neemer. I think that's a pretty good idea and I agree. They only process withdrawls once a week (Mondays), which is fine although it does strike me as a bit odd. Wondering if that's a common practice at other books as well :shrug: It's not at the other two I use..... thanks again

don't think it's common practice industry wide, but lots of books only payout once a week. Why they choose Monday, is a bit perplexing. I've always thought that Tuesday was the slowest day for a sportsbook. There are a few that pay out every day of the week.

Wouldn't take this rumor as set in concrete, buy I will give them credit in the fact that they've pre-announced numerous books before they shut their doors.

I don't make into this forum very often to answer questions regarding 5Dimes. And it seems I'm more than a little late, but I'll answer anyways.

SixFive,
Not sure what people you know that ever had to jump thru a hoop to get paid. There's more than enough funds available DAILY for payouts in full to any account via PayPal, Neteller, PrePaidATM, SecureBuxx or Western Union. You can check on virtually any of the major posting forums to confirm that most transactions are processed within 15-30 minutes.

Night Owl,
Credit card credit backs & checks are processed on Mondays.
Paypal, Neteller, PrepaidATM, & SecureBuxx redeptions are avialable 7 days a week. Redemptions via these methods are free on Mondays. Same day Western Union payouts are available 7 days a week (customer pays fees on WU).

As for rumors on gambling911. They jump to a lot of conclusions. Yet no one from gambling911 ever bothers to contact anyone regarding the vailidity of their rumor mill. It was posted on their site numerous times that 5Dimes was leaving Unifed Gaming. It hasn't happened and will not happen.
Gambling911 is a valuable site in breaking industry news. They uncover a lot of "juicey" informative news for the players in this industry. It just happened to be that the 5Dimes rumors were not true.

If anyone has any comments or questions, please call the 5Dimes office and ask to speak to a manager regarding any gaming issues they may be concerned with.

BOOKBASHR, if u would like details about the hoop jumping, here goes: Fake tracking numbers, multiple, "it's in the mail" emails, and just plain poor service. These are two people I personally know, not just internet gossip I have read. Cheers.

Oh please, you have no way of predicting what will and will not happen in a week or month. Before AcesGold went belly up I think they posted here that they would never go out of business and in fact were in great shape. So please forgive those of use who have been burned before if we take what the books tell us with a big grain of salt.

Rule #1 of cyber gaming.

Places with large maxes(5 large is a sizeable max where I come)
are to be AVOIDED!
Get out if its not already too late.
