Requested 2k payout yesterday around 10am and was to told to call back today for the WU tracking number. Called back today and got the usually bookie stall tactic and was told that it was not ready and to try again after 5pm. I'll keep yall posted on the outcome but i'm starting to get a bad feeling about 5dimes.

and, yes i know it was dumb to request 2k through WU, hopefully I will get away with it just this one time. Next time, if there is one, ill be sure to just ask for a check .

NEVER ask for a check. Western Union and Moneygram are golden. 5 Dimes has their issues. But not with Western Union or Moneygram. You will get paid.

 When i called back at 5 they gave me the details of the WU transfer and everything went smoothly from there!

Why no check?..I have heard you can get blacklisted from WU or Moneygram for suspicious transactions.

No checks because they are known to bounce. Whether it is a processor problem or not........dont take the chance. It will take weeks to straighten out.

i have received several checks from 5dimes...the first several they sent me were all legit and cleared/cashed no problem...however the latest one they sent me was a weird looking canadian check, I got a bad feeling the second i opened it...tried depositing it at my bank and the next day got a call from my bank saying the check i deposited yesterday is being sent for "review" to the banks international collections department, and this could take several weeks...

that is typical with 5dimes but I have taken 8 withdrawls from them using WU and Moneygram without an issue... Takes a day or two but you should be golden......

no the limilt did not go down and has not gone down at all. it only has taken two days at the most to get the information from them to collect.... Back when the limits where bigger,  i received (2) 9k payouts from WU from them.... The max 2500 per withdrawl from them has been in place for a few years..... You shouldnt have a problem... Let me know how it goes.... Good luck

Requested a western union payout this morning at 9:15. The money was out of my account at 2:08. Was told the money would be available for pickup tomorrow afternoon at 2.

Oh I already got the payout...i was just asking because usually books will lower your betting limits your taking money from them.

After more research, it is none of WU's business to ask questions when you are receiving money. It's only when you send money through them they have the obligation to try and make sure its not going to a offshore bookie.

Is this from 5dimes? I'm going to be requesting a W.U. cashout from them tonight...is the limit $970, or can I request more? I'm thinking I should keep it under $1,000 as my last couple attempts to send money were blocked...havent tried receiving using western union since, hopefully no problems...

Almost same exact thing happened to me.  Went to Credit Union to deposit and they looked at routing number and noticed it wasn't your typical length and check says canadian bank at the top.  She said if we take it then most likely 2 to 3 weeks for it to go through.  Said, NO THANKS i'll take it to my other bank.  Took it to a national bank and it the funds were available in my account the next day.  Total on check was $2013.xx  

Overall I would say Canadian checks are bound to be looked at if you keep depositing them into your account and especially for large amounts.  It's a red flag imo

$1000, it was a WU in a las vegas casino.  I was going to do another one and they told me that they do it for any amount if from out of the country.  Does Money gram do this?
