    Hi everyone,

    I have been on this site more of a lurker and have never posted till now because need some advice on how I can approach this situation.

    I have used the Greek and Betjam in the past but since they no longer allow US players I have started using 5dimes for college football.

    Well I have won some money with 5dimes and requested a check for $3000 on october 10. I have not received the check and have kept calling 5dimes and they keep telling me they have to check with their processor to see if they sent the check out or if it went to a wrong address. 

    I called today and someone at 5dimes said the manager is working on this and to check back with them this Friday. 

    WTF cant they just make the call to the processor today and find out what happened? I am sure the processor must have a tracking #. This is taking to long and don't know what to do now.

    I am starting to think I wont see that $3000. 

    I miss BetJam and the Greek never had any problems with them.

    They are either closing shop this week, or you will get the check cut.  You will know by Friday IMO.

    Don't trip. Lots of processor issues in the offshore world right now. You will get paid, 5dimes is legit, might just take a while longer. Be patient.

    tiamatrix is an idiot... you say a book is closing shop you make an assumption with no prove whatsoever getting ppl nervous for no legitmate reason. your probably just bitter because you bet some ridicilious prop bet and didnt come out they way you wanted it. As for your check surf... 5 days is not that long... just relax. nobody cares abotu greek or betjam there gone they are not 5 dimes and 5 dimes does not care about them. not everybody has the same turnaround time as books that dont exsist anymore. 5 dimes has to deal with regulatory banking issues they are in a 3rd world country trying to send money to someone in the united states. it takes time. thats why they only send checks over 3k.

    and as far just "caling" the processor and finding out what happened. your not the only that plays at 5 dimes requesting a check over 3k. cs cant just call and automatically know its surf curious about his check. an ideal world your check would come when you want it to. but in reality  with the restrictions we are on  now about internet gambling it just doesnt work the way "we" want it too. it might not be there when you want it and it never is but it will come.

    October 10 is when I requested the payout which was a Monday. From what I heard 5dimes processes the requests the following day. Today is October 25 that's a long time. To your remark where you said I wont post if 5dimes pays me, I will come back to this thread as soon after receiving a check from them.

    October 10 is when I requested the payout which was a Monday. From what I heard 5dimes processes the requests the following day. Today is October 25 that's a long time. To your remark where you said I wont post if 5dimes pays me, I will come back to this thread as soon after receiving a check from them.

    kapon, thanks! as for  the 19 year old boy named Bullshit, I mean Boche....Don't  come down here with your anger. 5dimes has had a lot of payout problems of late. Point blank.  Overall, i've been happy with them.

    I am calling them tomorrow and asking them what the update is. I bet they are going to tell me to call them Friday or Monday again. This is what they have been doing to me.

    Well I have won some money with 5dimes and requested a check for $3000 on october 10. I have not received the check and have kept calling 5dimes and they keep telling me they have to check with their processor to see if they sent the check out or if it went to a wrong address. 

    I called today and someone at 5dimes said the manager is working on this and to check back with them this Friday. 

    WTF cant they just make the call to the processor today and find out what happened? I am sure the processor must have a tracking #. This is taking to long and don't know what to do now.

    I am starting to think I wont see that $3000. 

    I miss BetJam and the Greek never had any problems with them.
    is my first year with them and I've collected twice, but not by hceck...MG and WU...but absolutely no problems...

    Last week I made a  1000.00 payout request using their check method, processed Monday  received by Friday.This week I made a 650. 00 withdrawl using western union and it processed in one day. Their customer service is questionable. , but their payouts seem legit. I always like to make sure i'm going to get paid before I play large amounts of money. Caribsports and Bookmaker also have good payouts and customer service.

    Day 9-No ach payout for me!  Oh well..Back at intertops now, and doing well.   If i get my money I get it, but I will never deposit money into 5dimes again.  I really do think the processor is the issue and I expect my cabbage to be back into my 5dimes account no later than tuesday so I can do a couple p2ps payouts.

    It's a business tactic that's rather widespread and common. I call it "stalling". And of course the stalling is accomplished by an arsenal of weapons which all pretty much boil down to bullshit and lies.
    Some of the bullshit: "verification" (send us 3 pieces of ID so we really know you are you, AND a copy of your utility bill with your name and address on it, AND......).  As if somehow a crook got hold of your account ID, AND password, and wants to steal your money by having it sent to YOUR address!  LOL
    Lies: "the check is in the mail", "we don't know what the processor is doing at the desk right next to mine and we won't find out until Friday if they sent it out yet"....blah, blah, blah..  They make this stuff up as they go along you see.....

    The object is to hold your money for as long as possible. No, your 3K is not going to make or break them. But your 3K, along with all the other payouts they are dragging their feet to ship are accruing interest every day they can stall.

    I think you will get your money, and it's good to remember that "the squeeky wheel get's the grease" so keep hounding them!

    I agree though that it's a short-sighted strategy which should cost them in the long run....(loss of customers). The best long-term strategy for running that kind of business is to just be straight-up and forthright and grow a clientele based on trust.

    There does seems to be a direct correlation between the DOJ crackdown and Black Friday and the incidences of problems with payouts. Either these companies not yet busted are feeling the heat or they are just taking undue advantage of the reduced competition.

    I think these forums for comparing notes on the integrity of the various players in the online sports betting field are a damn good thing and we should definitely be letting each other know who is treating us fairly and who is messing with us.

    Let us know when your situation is resolved and how long it took.
