    Yes that caught my attention. No promise just maybe an attempt.

    Thanks PMike. It just doesn't seem fair that I deposit on the 6th, they announce I have to get out on the 7th and then they still require a 1 time rollover.

    Agree

    No rollover should be required

    We received your withdrawal request. However it was rejected due to the fact that you are missing to complete the mandatory one-time rollover required for your deposit(s) (Rollover amounts for each wager are based on the least amount of risk or win in each selection). The total rollover required for your deposit(s) (including the last deposit) is $957.73 and you are still missing $907.73.
    I haven't played 5d for a while but I was curious about this as everyone who deposits has at least 1x requirement.

    I posed this question here but didn't get a reply. So I emailed 5d and they informed me that a person can withdraw his balance for an "administrative fee." I didn't bother to ask what that fee is. It's most likely a percentage.

    Something you might want to ask them about. I absolutely despise being rushed in my betting to complete roll over as it can easily lead to poor decision making.

    Wait, it you don’t roll it by then they still have to pay out. For there would be no way to complete that roll.

    Lets try to give benefit of the doubt here. I also have a substantial balance there tied up in futures way above 10k that I'm trying to get refunded. It's a sweat for sure but if they didn't plan to pay out they wouldn't have even announced this. It would have been just them closing up shop one day. If they screw over people with big balances any future plans they have will be screwed over. so from a business standpoint everything they are doing indicates they plan on paying and when they do come back people like us will bring back the heavy action to them.

    If you havent rolled it over by then they will pay you out anyway after that date.

    I would like them to honor the bets they took and just pay me after the deadline. The deadline is just an arbitrary thing they came up with anyway. I never would've placed the futures with them if I knew they would just be cancelled later.

    I would be worried about getting paid out past the deadline.

    This is just an all around rocky situation.

    As anyone that's ever dealt with a failing business will tell you....time is not your friend. Your best bet is to get out what you can as quickly as possible because there may well not be a tomorrow. One in the hand is worth at least 8-10 in the bush in this case.

    And yes, it does appear that they're trying to work it out and are handling things reasonably, but no one knows when the money runs out and when the door could slam shut.

    Have a good chunk on Bucks NOT winning east or nba crown...Chatted with them that should they be eliminated this week, they should credit the winnings and not wait until end of playoffs. By the time they understood me took forever. Then when they finally did couldnt guarantee that and said "contact us once they are eliminated and then we will see if we can grade those)
    Fukking joke.
    So, if you dont do anything, I saw somewhere cant remember where head spinning today that funds would be transferred to a book, but i couldnt find this info anywhere on their website, just that it will go to administrator and they will "try" to payout? Well gee thanks for trying LMFAO. What a penetrating mess. Any truth they will transfer to another book? Probably not.

    Apparently administrative fee is 5%. I am going to take the payout with the fee. I don't trust that there will be funds available later.

    No, just common sense.

    Also, he's talking about a 1x rollover with 2 weeks to do it.

    I'm sure he'll be fine.

    I went through something similar to this with Pinnacle years ago. Was worse because I had a deposit on the way to them when it happened. It worked out though.

    I'm in the same boat with some pending election futures which sucks because they are far better than the current market odds. It is what it is, though. In a situation like this, if you get a refund you should be grateful. This is the risk of doing shady business with an outfit in a foreign country.

    Well if 5dimes has a limited reserve and created a ponzi scheme of sorts or if they are now like a weak insurance company with not enough reserves after a big national disaster then perhaps we should worry..

    They are getting bum rushed now for payouts today no doubt about that. I got a good chunk of change in there myself.. I'm gonna try to make my withdraw in a few days.. Would like my futures to be refunded first but maybe waiting isn't a good idea..

    Still I sometimes think patience is a virtue.. They fold they fold. I get stiffed by the book I get stiffed, won't be the first time..

    This is what I'd do. Don't rush your betting strategy just to complete the roll over as it will most likely lead to stupid decision making.

    Take the 5% hit. You can deposit somewhere else. Or you can just let it sit in your wallet. When the major indices begin their next accumulation phase, btc will follow and you'll get most or all of that 5% back without lifting a finger.

    Definitely the right play..I made a huge mistake not hedging my Medv. $500 @33-1 play last year. Could've taken Nadal up 2 sets & a break to win in 5 sets @ 67 -1 for $500. Obviously not a perfect hedge cuz I couldve lost 500 but I would've won over 33K.

    Fock, I really liked and supported 5dimes for years.. I can't believe they are folding for Americans.. All my copy and paste bets on SBR come from 5dimes. I'll miss that book..

    I guess Tony was the rock and soul and when he got kidnapped that was the beginning of the end for 5dimes..

    Do they still take action from you guys?

    Can you make a bet at 5D right now for a game that settles today?

    Or did they suspend activity as well?

    Actually they just told me they do not support any sportsbook transfer any more and bitcoin is the only way to withdraw large amount of funds by the deadline. Unfortunately bitcoin broker, Gemini, sends all bitcoin sales as income to be taxed, even if it is not winnings which makes no sense. Anyone have other bitcoin brokers they suggest?
