    Bookmaker.....Their Payout Methods are terrible
    Wanted to make a post regarding this as I made the mistake of assuming the top books listed on the SBR recommended list would offer all the same withdrawal options. Bookmaker is incredibly disappointing, I have accounts at 5dimes, Pinnacle and BET365 and all these books offer great withdrawal options. The fact that Bookmaker literally makes it impossible to withdraw any amount between $2501-$9999 is absolutely insane. Why would you bother to inconvenience players by not allowing you to withdraw in this range makes no sense at all. Bookmaker is not even in the same league as Pinnacle and I think this should be made clear on the bookmaker review page. I read the reviews on SBR, but I should have done more homework personally. With such limited payout options like once in 7 days, methods and simply not allowing to withdraw $2501-$9999, this should clearly be listed in the review. Hope other players don't make the same mistake I did and best of luck!

        if you think that's bad ask for a book to book transfer---everywhere else it's free--bookmaker will cost you hundreds. the worse book for getting your money. bookmaker should be no more than B rating.

          I love the site for the limits and fact that they do not limit players quickly. But I have to agree their payout methods suck, having 10k minimum wire is stupid, nice way to get transactions flagged.

            how you get a account on bet365 and also have an account on 5dimes. I tried to create an account on bet365 and they told me since i am with 5dimes , i cannot be with bet365.

              when did they refuse you at bet365,and how did they know that you had an account at 5dimes. the two books
              are not related,so why is this? does anyone know?

                  not only do they charge a hefty fee for transferring out to another book, but they also require a 3X rollover for transfers in from other books. This # is only 1x at 5dimes and no fees. And don't even get me started on the lack of payout methods as everyone has already pointed out. Their an average book that gets alot of positive rep. because of their high payouts and the lack of competition in the US market.

                      Because SBR is mostly US-focused website. And for the current situation, Bookmaker is a great out. You are either penny bettor and a couple of P2P payouts will suit you fine, or you are a big fish and $10K+ is what you need.

                      Not to mention that you would only dream to have the same limits at Bet365 as you can get at Bookmaker...

                      Boggles my mind that someone will have accounts with Bookmaker and 5Dimes AND Bet365 and Pinnacle. Makes no sense at all.

                        No one site will be the best for every sport, or have the best line on every game. It makes plenty of sense to play at multiple sites.

                          No denying this!
                          My point was that if you can have an account with Pinnacle and the likes, why would you open an account with US sportsbooks like Bookmaker and 5Dimes?!? There are tons of non-US sportsbooks that have much better odds than Bookmaker and 5Dimes, including better payout options for non-US players.

                            First off the thread starter what country are you from??

                            That makes a difference

                            If you're from the USA your post makes no sense and should be investigated

                              Lol, Bookmaker should be investigated as should this forum based on the ties of these two companies. I'm from Canada where using Instadebit makes life much easier....unless you are of course dealing with Bookmaker

                                    Incredible out for live betting. Sometimes I get prices 20-40 cents better on the side i want than at Pinny so IMO if you bet live you certainly need both outs to max earn.

                                      Great out for the big bettors. Not sure how many of those are here.

                                        I'm non US and have accounts at all of them.

                                        5dimes is head and shoulders above any book from anywhere when it comes to betting US motorsport. Among other reasons I like them.

                                        Nothing wrong with their payout options for internationals either btw.
