Comments:
What can I say?! This is truly a first-class sportsbook in every way. The wagering selection ('menu') is huge and their customer service is the best in the business. This company truly deserves an A+ rating because they 'do things right' (even the so-called 'little things'), are honest and ethical...and make the games fun and enjoyable. There's no need to worry about 'problems', controversies or getting paid, either. I've been with them for a few years now and I know what I'm talking about; heck, they even let you bet on whether the Dow Jones will go up or down the next day! Good job, guys (and gals) at 5Dimes; a "5-Star" book if there ever was one!

Comments:
I have dealt with over 15 different sportsbooks over the past 5 years.  5 Dimes has the worst customer service and management of them all.  They are not helpful and they often give cocky ass responses to your questions and/or problems.  There is a manger named Matt who is really bad!  I have had nothing but problems with them.  I wrote a letter to the President of the company, but have yet to hear back!  DO NOT PLAY AT 5 DIMES.  Anyone is welcome to contact me with more precise negative ordeals that these bozos have tried to pull on me.  5 Dimes is a SCAM book!!!!

I trying it get a payout from them this pass week.  I ask 2 checks to be sent to via FEDEX and I cannot get my money.  I got one of them on Friday, that is 5 days later after I requetsed it.  I am trying to get the other $3000 that they owe me.  They keep saying there is a delaying in process my request.  They sayit with the processing company.  The cannot even some me a check for what they owe me.  Keep getting the same BS, there is a delaying in processing your request.  They never have a problem in taking my money only processing my request and say sorry. They keep telling me to check back with them tomorrow,  they don't know if they even sent my check.  Today they stated my 2nd check has been sent but did not have a tracking number, got figure... If you sent the check would not have a tracking number, When I sent them my money I give them the money tracking number.  I hope I get my oney soon I need to find another book... I think they are broke and they keep delaying my request in paying me.  Be weary of 5 dimes ????

2. Tony (Mr. BIG Shot) is like God over there.
3. They never offer Bonuses , even to long term players, EVER !
4. Lately they have been leaving game lines out 5-10 mins past post.DONT BET THE GAME.IF YOU LOSE,YOU LOSE ! IF YOU WIN, THEY SAY THE GAME WAS PAST POSTED. SO BASICALLY YOUR RISKING $$$ TO MAKE 0 !!!  BE CAREFUL because if there is a problem it's gonna take you weeks to speak to TONY !!!!

Customer service is always fast, courteous and friendly. You can wager thru the internet or even phone in a bet. As well, they also have 'Live Chat' where you can speak with someone 24 hrs. a day. The payouts are accurate and lightning fast. They offer a huge variety of different wagering options, including 'props'. This sportsbook has a spectacular selection of boxing lines. Even their casino is fair. This book rates a 10 out of 10 in my book and I highly recommend it!

Comments: I HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH 5 DIMES FOR A FEW YEARS, AND AFTER READING UP ON OTHER FRAUDULENT RIP-OFF COMPANIES, I FELT COMPELLED TO DROP A LINE ABOUT 5 DIMES.I COMMONLY DEPOSIT MONEY TOO CLOSE TO GAME TIME, AND 5 DIMES MAKES SURE THAT I HAVE MY MONEY IN MY ACCOUNT BEFORE GAMETIME. PAYOUTS ARE RIDICULOUSLY QUICK. I JOKE WITH MY FRIENDS THAT WHEN I REQUEST A PAYOUT, THEY ARE GIVING ME MY WESTERN UNION CONTROL NUMBER BEFORE I HANG UP. ACTUALLY THE MONEY IS THERE FOR ME WITHIN AN HOUR.WHETHER IT IS A $100 OR $5,000 PAYOUT, THERE IS NO DIFFICULTY RECEIVING THE MONEY.THE MANY OPTIONS TO PLAY ON GAMES IS MIND BLOWING. IT IS REFRESHING TO HAVE A COMPANY LIKE 5 DIMES TO PLAY WITH. IT ALMOST MAKES MY LOSING WORTHWHILE.(WELL, NOT EXACTLY)BUT I RECOMMEND 5 DIMES.COM TO ANY PLAYER IN THE WORLD

Comments: First let me state I have never had a problem receiving any payouts. To me that is priority #1 in selecting an offshore (will I get paid). They also offer team totals and prop bets that many books do not offer. That said, 5Dimes is far from perfect. The site is extremely slow during peak wagering hours. They have an alternate URL for peak wagering hours which helps but even that site can get bogged down at times (and I have a DSL connection!). Grading errors are not uncommon although to their credit they will fix them when you inquire about them (check your wagers!). Customer service is fine until you have to deal with management which can be rude or arrogant depending on your situation. I would recommend them based on their payout history and variety of wagers but they have a lot of room for improvement in the software and customer service areas. Grade: B

Comments: They have just closed my account too. I do not know the real reason (I suppose the winnings maybe) because the management did not bother to give me any explanation. All that they told me was I was 'caught' 'double hitting the line'* (see 'Vocabulary' section) with somebody else, but they would not get into any further details despite my questions. If you wager a lot 5dimes is definitely not a sportsbook for you. And I wagered a lot. About 75 wagers per month which makes almost 1000 per year. I signed with 5dimes a year and a half ago. Almost every time I wagered I used the whole limit available and only straight single wagers. Every 500 wagers there would be one wager with a 'double hit-line' (see 'Interesting Quotations' section). When you first have it you will find your account locked (they will change your password so you cannot log in). The support will tell you that you have to speak with the General Manager - Tony. This is dreaded by most players who have experienced it. Tony never listens to people. So there is no use defeding yourself. Tonny will just announce - first warning. A brief sigh of relief then and no problems for approximately next 500 wagers. Than all of a sudden you will be 'caught'- yes, you have guessed right -'dobule-hitting' the line (see 'Interesting Quotations' section again). One more time they will change your password, and you will get a onesided 10 second-conversation with Tony. The boss says: your second and final warning, but this time we will cut your limits to 50% as well. And so you will get back to wagering, this time a bit resigned though. You will wonder what you can do to avoid 'double -hitting' lines with other customers. You will probably not get to the only solution which is - cease to wager at all. One beautiful day, approx 500 wagers later you will find your account locked. Guess why? Surprise! You have 'doulbe-hit' the line again (if you do not know it by heart check 'Interesting Quotations' section again). And this will be the end your affair with 5dimes. You will get to that point around the wager no 1500. No further warnings. They will close your account and settle your balance. You will be left with one question. Was there any hidden reason of closing my account or is 5dimes management as stupid as they seem to? Vocabulary: *double hitting the line - in 5dimes this means hitting the same line as another customer within a range of about 0-30 seconds (the sum of both stakes must exceed the limit for a single customer). After hit once the line is usually changed no sooner than 30 seconds later. Interesting Quotations: "Double hitting is never a coincidence" - Tony Williams, 5 dimes Chief Executive

DAMN it''s not a bad site it''s kind of tight having that monster teaser good job 5dimes I haven't ask for a payout yet so I don't know how fast the payout is. Buy the way all these preaks saying all kinds of XXXX should keep their mouth shut. If you don't like this site close your damn account and get the fxxx out of that site a go fetch yourself another site dawg,yo if this site fxxx you over with (example) not paying you your money when you win a wager or taking to long to pay you when you win a wager fxxx it dawg ,cause if they do that kind of bs , you know what, (what comes around goes around and I'm telling you if they even laugh at that quote tell them to even laugh louder cause it aint no bs what comes around goes around ,I don't give a xxxx what happens, if any site does that kind of bs ceating or not paying or lying, fxxx it it'll come to them someday maybe not today, maybe not tommorow, maybe not even in 2 to 5 years don't sweat it guyz cause it''s gonna come. And for all you people out there if any site screws you over just close that account thats it simple and easy . You don''t need to think hard or complain alot ,there is alot of other sites out there that wants youre money, fxxx it ,leave that site a go somewhere else. PS- It happened to me once and I complained a lot to(this other site's customer service department) and they never did anything, so I said fxxx it and closed my account, you don't have to be a college grad to close an account , just call and close it thats it simple as that. Yo everybody will say this site is good and that site is bad ,yo it happens alot learn to live with it. Cause everybody will complain in this world I don''t give a rip who you are you will complain. thats just life and if you don't like this site then don't gamble,save your money and make your own gambling site how's that . Keep it down

 

Please keep the swearing to a minimum.  Thank you.

Comments: I am only providing a review because I have read some of the other player reviews. I think this sportsbook is fantastic. I have used several already and this one is by far the best. I receive my payouts the next day after requesting them. That is always a plus. As far as bonuses, I don''t use the bonuses, as far as I''m concerned they are a scam from any sportsbook. My money is never tied up this way and I never have to meet any requirements. They have overnight lines and their football lines are put up a week before the games. And if you like teasers, they have up to 20 point teasers, unreal. This is the only sportsbook I will ever use from now on, by the way, I have been with them for almost a year now and have never had a problem.

Comments: As for their reload bonus I find the promotion decent and fair. Few sportsbook are offering it as good. But unfortunatelly this is one of the few things that I like about this sportsbook. Let's start with saying that in my opinion rating them A is a complete misunderstading. The customer service looks good.. at first. On their 24/7 live chat I usually chat with one operator (I suppose this is due my time zone). This man is one of the least competent people I have seen in this buiseness. I have never ever received any useful answer from him and what is more it happened a couple of times that he misled me and made me even more confused about my case. I think that all the people interesed know who I am writing about. Grading wagers is one of the worst things in this sportsbook. Bad grading happens quite often. But what is worse one can never be sure if their wager will stand or be void. They can void the line -106 saying that it was an obvious mistake and grade -115 for the same outcome as absolutely in order. Following SBR 5dimes is a sportsbook for professional players. It is true reagarding American sports (MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL). As for soccer, tennis and other non-American sports events the limits are quite low (250$ but more often 100$). And some players have even 50% of it (125$ and 50$). There are many sportsbooks marked as "for regular players" with higher limits. I will not comment on Igor's case he described in his review of 5dimes here. But the general manager's attitude towards the customer is somewhat original.
