about to sign up with 5 Dimes.....

[aplous]

Any advice or info?

I was all set up with pinnacle only to find out they dont refund my western union charges, and 5dimes has this thing going if you deposit 365 they give you 100 bucks for sports, 50 for casino and some other cash for lotto-

Seems legit--good payout odds--any issues or comments??

I would prefer that you used a sponsor that supports this site, but 5 dimes is on my recommended list above.

5 Dimes is a good book, The only thing I didn't like was that you have to roll your money over before you get your Bonus.

I deposited $500 and they said that I would recieve 20% bonus so when I looked there was only $500 still in my account. I e-mailed them and they said I would have to roll over my account 5 times before I get my bonus. Now I have been playing for 5 years online, I'm with the Greek, Pinny, Wsex so I not trying to scam them out of a $100 it's just the Books that I have mention above always put the bonus money right into your account for you to use.

Anyway I e-mailed them and said that nowwhere in there offer did it said that I would have to roll the money over before it hit my account. So I asked them what if I go broke before the roll over what happens to the $100 bonus money I never recieved. I never got a reply to that question.

So IMO they are a pretty good book but right after I roll the money over and get my bonus I'm leaving and I'll add the money to Pinny which I think is the Best out there.
It's just I lost that Trust thing with them(5 dimes) and for piece of mine I would rather leave now. I should have been told in the offer that I wouldn't get the bonus added to my account until I rolled the money over. I would have never join. I guess that was there plan.

paulsam1,

That's weird as most books add the bonus up front.

[paulsam1]

I know BC I really didn't like the way they handle that at all.

When I asked (E-Mail) about what would happen if I went broke before they gave me the Bonus they never answer my E-Mail.

I have to admitt I haven't been with them long but it seems to be a pretty good book with lots of betting options.

It's a shame because I otherwise would stay with them.

5 Dimes:

A friend of mine from college started 5 Dimes a few years ago. He actually dropped out of college, moved out of the country and does that for a living now.

He was on an HBO special a couple years ago, with his face blacked out.

They're a good casino from what I've heard.

[aplous]

Well, I signed up with them-

I put in exactly 365 to get their kickoff special--free 100$ play, free 20 parlay with great odds and some casino cash.

I like how they have money lines for all games-- i know it is weak, but I dont want to lay the 23 tonight on boise--I can put my whole account on them on the ML--might only win 20 bucks, but hey, its free skrilla!!

Ill update if I have issues.

Also--Im not a huge player and some books (like MVP have a 50 dollar min. bet) and others have a 100 dollar min phone wager. Sometimes I just want a little action--ya know??

[BettorsChat]

aplous,

Unless MVP changed the minimum wager over the internet is $6, SportingBet is $5 and Bet365 is low like that as well.

[aplous]

Really BC?? I looked on the site not more than a week ago and I swear it said 50 dollar minimum--sounded ridiculous at first--but I figured it was possible. Maybe Ill open another account--Ive heard it is good to have 2 accounts.

thanks

Hello BC
Just to add on to 5 dimes, I deposit $500 so because I didn't deposit the amount of $365 I would get only the $100 sports book bonus. OK the other stuff don't intrest me anyway..
Then they tell me I have to Rollover the deposit 5x's before I get my $100. Oh by the way isn't $500 more then $365 wouldn't you want more money deposited. but no to get the other stuff you needed to deposit $365 Dump if you ask me. Anyway back to the bonus. I rolled the money over now they tell me that I only get the winnings from the bet.. That's not a bonus that's a free bet. Man after this weekend win,lose or draw I'm gone..
How can anyone trust this book say one thing do another. Great marketing, But very misleading to the consumer..

paulsam1,

Do you have the rules to the bonus that you signed up for?

[paulsam1]

After going over the rules again I do see where it says you have to roll the deposit over 5x's to Earn the bonus.
Then I also see where it says it's a match play bonus. I guess I ASSUMED that it was like all the other books. My Mistake. Sorry to have taken your time on this. I'm Still gone from there. Don't really like there business practices.
