Wonder if I can open an account with BAS. I had an issue with 5Dimes and they wouldn't do anything to fix it, I lost my patience and the guy pulled a Tony and closed my account. I have been with bookmaker and they pay fast, but are terrible other than that. They just did an upgrade within the last hour and locked everything up for that time. Their live is terrible, they make it available to bet on baseball for about 2 minutes, then lock it up for 15. The other night they locked up all baseball live for an hour.
What got your account deleted? I never had any problems with Tony, actually liked the guy.
As we know, Futures, Live betting, Open Parlays, Props, etc. has made 5dimes best in the world.
I'm still waiting for my stuff to get graded and a payout, then will need 2nd payout.
This entire situation is disappointing. I am going to attempt to run up my balance to over 1k so I can request a check. They are telling me to initiate a Money Gram payout that the number of payouts per day is extremely limited and not available past 9am on any particular day.
It seems that if they are forcing cash-outs, they could be more accommodating.
I'm sitting on just $400 after losing a grand on baseball since the restart. Time to run it up to 1k or go bust.
So I used pre-paid before bitcoin was mainstream. They placed a double hold ($100 deposit, +100 additional hold) to put my card negative $200. I called and told them, they admitted processor issues, but refused to do anything about it. The pre-paid card said they needed something to release and 5D said nothing they can do and I had to wait 30 days for the hold to release. I understood they couldn't call and say hey this guy was trying to deposit to gamble, but they should have been able to do something. They refused, I got annoyed and yelled, they closed my account.
@Jarrett75 --- thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience at a different book. Sent money in via Credit Card, sent in $500. The Book put $500 in my account. I gambled all weekend, got my account to $1400 by Monday morning. Went into my account, my account was locked. The Book said the Credit Card company rejected the deposit over the weekend. I said, bullshit. I did have to call the Credit Card company, and tell them the "Purchase was cool". The Book said they officially never got the money, and were not honoring the $900 net wins. I said, "bullshit" you just free-rolled-me. If I lost, you wouldn't have given a shit. My account banned. I then called back Credit Card, said it was scam. i did not win $900, nor pass Go and collect $200. At least the credit card company didn't argue and did not charge me.
The Book said I was free rolling them, because I could have lost & still cancelled card. I told them, then get a real processor and don't credit the account.
Has anyone gotten paid yet? I set up a bitcoin wallet to get money but still not recieved anything yet. Trying to gamble what is left pending to make payout worthwhile. Have a feeling this 3rd party will be an expensive scam, and they will keep whatever isn't distributed. Hope this isn't 2nd online book to defraud me.
I realize they are busy as hell as this is a large number,of,people and money they never planned on having to,deal with all at once nut they knew this was coming and should have had groundwork laid for this.

im starting to get worried I have 7k in there and have a feeling I’ll never see it
Just an,update. I got My bitcoin, now waiting to figure out if I should roll it to Nevada, which I hardly ever use but have an account already, or try someone new. I prefer to have options, so may look,for someplace with a decent bitcoin welcome bonus.
Seems they waited until they were shutting off US wagers, so I,couldnt try to run up my balance any more to request another bitcoin payout. Whatever I had left after NFL Sunday going to 3rd party apparently.
Oh well, not as bad as previous experience but,if Nuggets win it all I am going to be heartbroken.

it won’t go to third party until the 30th so you still have until the 25th to request a payout
5Dimes, a Costa Rica-based sportsbook popular with U.S. bettors, has reached a $46.8 million settlement with the U.S. government following a federal money-laundering investigation, according to a settlement agreement obtained by ESPN.
5Dimes agreed to pay $15 million in cash, forfeit more than $30 million in assets and stop accepting wagers from U.S. customers while operating out of Costa Rica, according to the settlement agreement reached with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Easten District of Pennsylvania. The settlement also absolves Laura Varela, the widow of 5Dimes owner William Sean Creighton, of any of the criminal conduct alleged against the sportsbook. Varela assumed responsibility for 5Dimes’ assets after her husband was kidnapped in September 2018 and found dead a year later, but she did not have “day-to-day authority” over its operations, according to the settlement.
“The investigation was a complete success from our perspective,” Michael Lowe, assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, told ESPN. “There was gambling going on, but we discovered it, we put a stop to it.”
The non-prosecution agreement allows 5Dimes and Varela to pursue opportunities in the expanding American sports betting market. Varela, who fully cooperated with the investigation, made “significant changes” to 5Dimes’s operations that make it “suitable for participating in lawful gaming operations across the world,” according to the settlement agreement.
“We achieved the objective, which is, she is compliant with U.S. federal law right now,” Maria M. Carrillo, assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, told ESPN. “What that means for her is she is not operating in violation of U.S. law, and she is not actively taking bets from U.S. bettors.
“Whether she’s positioned well for regulators, that’s up for the regulators to decide,” Carrillo said. “She certainly is no longer in violation of federal law.”
In an interview with ESPN, Varela said she is “ very, very happy and very excited about what the new chapter of 5Dimes can be.”

they say they are still going to pay me but I’m starting to lose hope ... I got verification email on the 29th and still haven’t received my 10k payout . I’m praying I get it if they do us dirty and don’t pay and we have to go through this stupid third party and Who knows how much we’ll get I’m gonna be furious
My case settled after all of them days.
But I'm old school so I can't or dont knoe how to convert btc to usd to be placed in my hands. It then makes it more difficult to play with btc as it is so complicated with stupid loopholes. Check this out, blockchain wallet wants me to upload a selfie video for verification. Are you kidding me?
I took all them coins n deposited it with an online books. I'll just have to get it up there to 1g to cash out. The law of doubles. 500 to 1000 1st win. 1000 to 2000 2nd in a row win. 2000 to 4000 3rd. 3 streak, can it be done?
I had no idea how to use Bitcoin so a sharp friend of mine helped me set up an account with Coinbase. Of course 5dimes, as usual, made me provide them with additional documentation that I had already given them. Rather than argue with them, I just sent it to them and they processed my Bitcoin withdrawal. It took a week but they paid me. When it got to my Coinbase account, I withdrew it and had it transferred my checking account.
I'll miss betting with 5dimes because they had such a large betting menu. What I won't miss is their customer service department. They're an absolute nightmare to deal with at times. Once in a while, you'll get a smart person that knows their shit. More often than not, you'll get someone that seems as though they're making stuff up as they go along. 5dimes is a place you can call and aske 10 different people the same question and you'll get 10 different answers.
Give this a shot. You can still chat with live help or call them during normal hours and check in on your account. Hopefully you requested your payout already, otherwise its going to a third party.
