    TRIED TO DEAL WITH 5 DIMES AGAIN...now I am sorry...again !
    Boy ol' boy ,this 5 Dimes is supposed to be a big time Sportbook ?
    Well,I didn't like them 2 years ago,and since I kept reading how "good" they are now ,I reached into their cookie Jar again and made a small Credit Card deposit[they limit 250 a day] of 250 Friday night .
    I was looking for a bonus..and then I thought I had some luck when the agent said ,"yeah,Fridays are 20% bonus nights ."
    That was Friday 6/7 pm.
    Saturday morning I decided to dep. another 250,and I tried with no luck.[I thought]
    So I had to deal with a clerk at 5dimes.He said on Saturday you only get 10 % and I said okay.He then noticed that the other 250 "did" process after all,so I asked him for the 10 % bonus .
    Then he informs me that I am NOT eligible for any bonus BECAUSE back in 2007[can you believe this ?] ,I withdrew 2000 plus dollars,so to be eligible now, you must deposit THAT amount exactly before any bonus's .
    I said ,"say what ?"
    He then informed me that the bonus AGREED to Friday night was also taken away .
    By now I am ***** !
    I now have 500 deposited with a book I don't respect,then disallowed a bonus after giving it to me the day before !

    So I made a call to another well renowned book and ask them their rule on the same matter.
    Their rule is ...after a withdrawal ,you must wait 30 DAYS ,before receiving another bonus !Simple and cut and dried ,like a solid book should do.

    So,if you withdraw[evidently] from 5 dimes ,say 4000,they will watch and make sure you don't get another bonus if it takes 10 years ,I guess ?
    Also,what if you have lost your butt,say 15,000,and want to withdraw 5000 ?
    Are they still going to make you dep. that 5000 before you get another bonus ?
    EVIDENTLY !

          ABE---many, many books have the same rule that 5dimes employs.

          I also believe 5dimes is an outstanding book, with or without bonuses. They offer a great array of betting options for the player and have been A+ in payouts for many years.

            5dimes is good for many reasons, bonuses is not one of them. Most places wont give you a bonus if you're up on them lifetime anyway. Get with the program abe.

              Good god, if you're counting on some shitty bonuses to pad your BR and then whine about it on a public forum, then you should just leave the gambling business forevermore. Free lunch lasts one day. Smart betting lasts a lifetime.

              I opened my account with 5dimes just a couple weeks ago and chose the reduced lines instead of the stupid bonus. Anyone with any brains and the expectation of being around for a long time would do the same. I'm loving the reduced lines already and have boosted my BR over 60% in two weeks.

              The reduced lines may not have been available to you as a former customer, but either way the bonus is nothing but a marketing ploy and you should never let it influence your choice of a book if you plan to wager seriously.

                  Okay Mr. Knowitall !
                  5 dimes never told me there was a "special" reduced line,or offered it to me ?
                  I assumed all members would get their reduced line ?

                  I haven't played there for over 2 years and did not miss them at all !

                  When a PROFESSIONAL BOOK JOINT states something one day about an offer ,and the next day renege's that agreed too offer ...In my opinion , is unprofessional !
                  The agreed to 20% match on Friday should have stood !
                  Their mistake ,if there was a mistake ?
                  And ,what is 20% of 250 dollars?[50 little dollars]

                  It's their reputation at stake here ,not mine dumbass !
