Just had a chat with Tony of 5dimes about the offshore situation.

[SmokinGood]

So im guessing 5Dimes is going to be safe?

[Dark Horse]

The amazing thing is that, when presented with a choice, so many people choose blind fear over calm analysis.

[GamblingMike]

Why does the US gov't do all sorts of stupid shit?

The poker companies believed what they were doing wasn't illegal and that they were different from sports. The US gov't has been after cris/bookmaker in one way or another for decades, they've had past owners jailed, etc, they keep going. They know they aren't operating a legit US business, they aren't visiting the US ever.

+1.

A+ thread Lemart

[fury]

Tony nailed it. Nothing to fear.

[lemart5]

If you believe anything Taylor posts here...you've got bigger problems than a processor issue

Same trolls

[HedgeHog]

Tony was indeed very nice. Too bad the OP didn't have the balls to ask him about the three recent casino confiscations. I'd bet his tone would have changed quickly.

[MEATHEAD]

I'm starting to think maybe I just need to go thru my local. It's so convenient though to make my wagers on the net.

[mikeyg]

Tony is a goof piece of shit!

[shaunovery]

Everyone can breathe easy now

[lemart5]

I just deposited with 5dimes.

[runner5k]

I'm still going to just keep small amounts in 3 diff books and see how it all plays out

[VegasVixen]

Did you really expect him to say "your money may be at risk, I recommend you stop betting now & withdrawl all of your funds while you still can"...?!?!?

[Dabeergod]

Tony actually does make a valid point in that chat script.

Even better if the OP would've used the name Nancy Drew.

Thanks for sharing the log

[nyplayer33]

the poker sites has there money seized and had to cooperate to pay there players and maybe re enter the usa market in 5 years..i stronly doubt the offshore bookies will be licensed in usa..so they r facing a different situation in my opinion

[dj_destroyer]

Tony is a hardcore douche, something is up.

[maxvalue1]

Tony: how can I help you today?
Tl: Hello Tony
Tl: I have a few questions
Tony: greetings
Tony: sure thing
Tl: How safe is your shop after the recent offshore shakeups?
Tony: if taking a domain name is a shakeup, i'm not exactly "shaking"
Tony: www.5dimes.ag
Tony: or some other name that isn't .com .net .us .org
Tony: will be available
Tl: How will you continue to maneuver through this environment?
Tony: you mean not using a processor run by the US Government ?
Tl: Well put
Tony: there will always be a way for clients to send us funds
Tony: there will always be a way for us to send funds to clients
Tl: How closely are you watching the situation?
Tony: close enough to know we didn't use that processor
Tl: Well Tony the players of SBR thank you for answering these questions.
Tony: and i wouldn't worry about bookmaker either
Tony: transfers as usual with them

Tl: Good to hear.
Tl: You have a good one .
Tony: you too

Nice job. He sounds pretty confident.

[LegitBet]

Could you imagine if this turned back into the late 80's?
Like a Twilight Zone episode, you had to call your degenerate chain smoking fat bookie ten times a night.
Arggggg

[lukahh]

i withdrew from 5d. but i don't consider them utterly unsafe. the fact tony didnt get screwed shows he knows business better than average bookie. probably a lot better.
just needs to outsource those casino odds to someone else

[mikeybets]

Yeah Im not sure how honest he was...Its not like he is going to say "no we are in deep doo doo please dont give us money because we will not pay out"
the US is a money grabbing whore of a bitch and one day this will come back to haunt us all...

[Michael Ferro]

they rock we roll it's been this way since the 90's good luck
