    I am going for my 5th straight win today, but I didn't read the fine and place a bet in the beginning. What a screw job on me. I can just play for the monthly prize now.

    i have no pick today up and i'm not at 5. i think you only get 1 award per streak so you wont be awarded the freeplay until you lose.

    edit: a shitload of possible picks just showed up. all mlb and the nba game.

    Picks aren't put up 'til late morning (eastern time for me), you haven't received an award because you're streak is active.

    Since you failed to meet the real money bet requirement I believe you're eligible for a pro-rated amount (5%). Contact customer service, sure they'll take care of it.

    I won't notice 5% of 100 dollar value. I won't make a big stink out of it.

    For everyone with questions:

    Betting Streaks of 5 wins will be awarded a $100 Valued Item .

    Betting Streaks of 10 wins will be awarded a $250 Valued Item.

    Betting Streaks of 15 wins will be awarded a $500 Valued Item.

    Betting Streaks of 25 wins will be credited $2500 Cash Reward.

    Betting Contest Winner of the month will be credited a $1000 Free Play*.

    The Betting Streak Contest winner of the month will be determined by the player with the most consecutive winning selections at the end of a calendar month.

    Eligible accounts will have the corresponding prizes applied within 24 hours of grading the daily picks with no rollover or wagering requirements attached.


    Customers are entitled to exchange the Merchandise Prize for a Free Play, available to use in Sportsbook Main, for the same value as the item. So for the case of a 5 wins Betting Streak, if choosing to exchange the prize, a $100 Free Play would be added to the Sportsbook Main account of the winner.


    *For the Betting Contest Monthly Leaderboard, only the first place will have the prize applied. In the case of a TIE for the first place between one or more players, the amount of the prize will be divided in equal parts amongst the eligible winners.

    Betting Streak Terms and Conditions

    In order to receive a Betting Streak Prize, you must have Sportsbook activity within 24 hours of winning the first Betting Streak selection. "Sportsbook activity" refers to at least one real money wager being posted no more than 24 hours before or after the first winning pick of your Betting Streak. The first winning selection of every new Betting Streak has the 24 hour rule. Real money wagers can be placed in Sportsbook Main or Live Betting Extra.

    Accounts that do not fulfill the wagering requirement will be awarded a 5% of the prize amount for ONE WINNING STREAK ONLY. Future winning streaks will not be eligible for further prizes.


    Only picks made on the “Today’s Pick” tab qualify for the Betting Streak Race and Contest prizes.

    Confirmed picks may not be deleted nor edited. If you fail to make a pick on the Betting Streak within 7 days of your previous winning selection your streak will reset to zero.

    All Sportsbook Rules apply for grading purposes.


    To keep an active winning streak, you must make a pick on a game or event played within 7 days of your previous winning selection or your Betting Streak score will be reset to zero.

    If your selection is a winner, you will receive one point towards your streak score.
    If your selection is a loser, your score will be reset to zero.
    If your selection is postponed, suspended, cancelled or removed from the board for any reason, your selection will not count towards your Betting Streak score and you will need to make a new selection for a game played on a future date. You will have 7 more days to add a new pick to your streak.
    If the game you selected results in a tie or push, the event will be graded cancelled and your Betting Streak score will not change. You will have 7 more days to add a new pick to your streak.
    Players with Betting Streaks carrying over from one month to the next must have the most consecutive winning picks made during the ongoing calendar month in order to win the Betting Streak Contest prize of the month. Only picks made within the same month will be considered to win the Betting Streak Contest monthly prize.

    For the Betting Contest Monthly Leaderboard, only the first place will have the prize applied. In the case of a TIE for the first place between one or more players, the amount of the prize will be divided in equal parts amongst the eligible winners.


    All General Rules and Policies apply to this contest.

    I've hit 5 and I'm not sure what happens now. Do you receive the $100 FP once you lose (assuming you don't make it to the next prize bracket)? I've asked live help twice and didn't really get a concrete response besides them telling me I will receive an email and its been two days. I don't want to lose the 6th and be told that I was supposed to cash in the prize once hitting 5...Thanks.

    Your streak is still active. My understanding is nothing is awarded until a particular streak ends. I don't think it's a matter of a prize/freeplay at each level. In other words, if you win 10 in a row then lose I don't believe you get a prize for a 5 game streak and then another for the 10 game streak. If anybody knows different please feel free to correct me. Keep rollin'

    No problem. Pretty sure in what i posted, but you might want to double check with 5Ds on the prize structure. Would hate for you to lose out because of bad info.

    Just received the same email, so I may be wrong as far as prize eligibility. When I get home I'll contact 5Dimes and find out if multiple prizes can be won during the same streak (5. 10, etc.) or if accepting a prize nullifies any future prize for same streak. Be sweet if it's actually a prize at each level. Congrats winners.

    Just got off of live chat with 5Ds. In a nutshell, only 1 prize/freeplay per streak. The email sent to those with 5 wins is just informational, a list of prizes you are eligible for if you should lose before getting to 10 wins. According to customer service, if your streak is still active you couldn't accept a prize if you wanted to. The email is misleading, stating your eligible for the 5-streak prize, please choose 1 and respond by email. Somebody should have proofread before sending. Hope this helps; if somebody does receive a prize/freeplay while in an active streak please post. Good luck everyone.

    thanks for the info guys. I always give up too fast before I get any good info from live chat lol.

    Are your guy's 5 win streaks from this month? I have 6 so far, I'm gonna shoot for 10. I think that should do it for the longest streak of the month but I'm probably severely underestimating the 5dimes clientele.

    Nah, I got a couple at the end of May. Would have more but chickened out and passed on some winners. No guts no glory.

    Looks like there's a knowledge gap between cs and those running the contest, because I got my freeplay within a few minutes of replying to the e-mail they sent, after 5 wins, and still no losses yet (i.e. going for 6 in a row tonight)

    Well if that's the case I'm going for the freeplay also. Live chat's interpretation is contradictory to the email, I'll give it another try tomorrow before pulling the trigger. Just don't want to find out later that accepting the 5-streak prize voids any additional prizes for the same streak. You wouldn't think so, but books do crazy shit all the time. Hope you bang that freeplay

    Looks like you are correct, sir. Got my freeplay within a few minutes. Asked about additional prizes for extended streaks but no response. Cross that bridge if I get to it (6 and counting). Good luck, and thanks for the update.
