Still one of the best in the business. That horse complaint was bogus

FH, none of them books SBR has rated high deserve their rating..none of them. These books these days act like they're doing you a favor by letting a guy deposit...sad but true.

I'm not sure 5dimes needs to be downgraded, but BetIslands needs to be upgraded from it's current B- rating.

The only book I've had zero complaints with(and only been with 6 months) is Betislands(the book that's constantly being mentioned on this forum as the best out by clueless morons) and how much am I really gonna trust leaving in there??? Well not much, that's how much..

Not just yet they don't. Betislands came out exactly 6 months ago as a C- and are now a B-..that's about right, imo..I'm not sure this book will be around come January 1st..just imo..Kreta's been giving out some insane bonuses for months now

5dimes deserves its A+ rating for its presence in the US market. They have all the offering and always seem to pay.

Any book that cuts players to $50 limits, has $80 in fee's just to get a check and ban's you of all comps the minute you win a few bets is no higher than a D in my opinion.

It seems like the standards have significantly dropped to get an A+ rating these days. Apparently the only thing that matters is if you pay or not. If this is the case all books should be graded either "A+" or "F-" according to these guidelines.

5dimes sh*ts on any other american/online book there is.
they're maybe the only ones that should be A+ there. they at least have competent customer service. id ont need them to be nice but they are nice anyway if they dont think youre trying to steal from them.
i can probably name 10 things they do better than whatever A+ book you think does deserve an A+

Way too many complaints of Tony mugging players on errors that were not gross errors and bets should have been honored. The casino cases and the most recent case of Tony canceling an Alt baseball line is just disgusting.
Extreme overuse of the line error excuse going on here and SBR is turning a blind eye to it for advertising dollars.

5 Dimes is probably a solid B, maybe B+ Book. I agree with FH that an A+ is ridic given CS, Tony and multiple complaints. That said, it's still a must out for me. GL getting a downgrade on 5D, unless they charge SBR $80 to cash their ad check.

A+_ they have 10x the options as any1 else for U.S. players and they pay me without ever having 1 single peep of a problem....5dimes is A+ and deserves to be at the top....pay me without hassle and give me the options they do, HAPPY

Why is this thread no longer linked to the Sports & Industry Forum where it also belongs? Can the Mod that moved it explain?

How about Betonline being a B+, seems 90%= of the Sportsbook/Industry section is Betonline complaints..

Nothing bad to say about BetIslands, but how high should a book who hasnt even been online for a year be exactly ?

There isn't a book out there that deserves an A+ rating.
If SBR would put aside their revenue interests for a minute and truly look out for the player, this would become obvious.

I have known fishhead for 11 years and never saw him this mad about a book
5 Dimes is solid but I think the higher rating is better suited for non usa 5 dimes players because of much more money transfer options
BetIsland and Rebatewager pay the same day which is hard to rival right now

It just sucks to be an American on-line gambler right now period. Feel like the whole world is against you trying to make a simple fvcking bet -- like you're some kind of murderer or rapist or something for wanting to put $100 on a baseball game. It's a joke.

For U.S players there isn't a better out right now than 5dimes. Reduced juice. Fast payouts and the most wagering options.

Been trying to get a withdrawal from 5dimes, I deposited over a month ago via CC. I had to send in my verification form, normal. I did so early Monday morning then subsequently sent in a request for a free check withdrawal, which was rejected because my verification had not cleared. When did it clear? Tuesday.....after the free withdrawal period had ended. Fine, I'll take part of the blame for not sending it days earlier. So I go on this morning and ask for the max withdrawal using West.u, which came with a 30$ fee. Not unreasonable, and they tell me it is going to be processed. 5 hours later it is rejected. Now I can't get that form of withdrawal because I deposited with a CC, but I can get a different P2P for an 80$ fee or a check for varying fees averaging $50. What a pain, and a 10% fee of the withdrawal amount is crap.

As long as they keep making those payments they will get the rating they pay for.
