5Dimes Sportsbook to add Bitcoin as payment option

5Dimes Sportsbook (SBR rating A+) plans to add bitcoin as a payment option. Bitcoin deposits will be converted to USD and credited to player accounts. The average of the current Bid and Ask prices from www.bitstamp.net will be the official source used for all currency conversions from BTC to USD. As of this publication one BTC is worth $623. There will be no fees for bitcoin deposits. Based on user demand, 5Dimes may add a feature down the line allowing bitcoin depositors to wager in bitcoin. Management tells SBR that they have completed internal testing and are looking to establish a group of player volunteers. There are a limited number of slots available in the group testing stage; interested users should write to Epay@5dimes.eu expressing their desire to take part. | Continue reading

About time!!!!

How about withdrawals?

Bitcoin withdrawals will be made available at a later date. The regular selection of payout methods can be used as normal for players who deposit via Bitcoin in the meantime.

How about withdrawals?

That's my question.

[pacers101]

minimums?

[OptimistPrime]

Buying Bitcoins online with a ***********/paypal is such a hassle. For withdrawals I am much more interested in.

iwas ready to ask the same question

[KVB]

Could this mean users who deposit using another method could possibly withdraw bitcoins? Will they convert that direction?

[capone1899]

So you're tell me I can deposit with bitcoin but not withdraw with it, the heck?

[ACoochy]

This is groundbreaking for the industry

I imagine it will only be a matter of time until you can also withdraw with it. If this works out this could be amazing!

[creed]

Its the way of the future for off shore books i think. Unless uncle sam finds a way to disrupt it.

[GunShard]

Fck BitCoins.
Just saying.

[NunyaBidness]

Fck BitCoins.
Just saying.

Why?

Ignore all the speculation aspects, a valuable decentralized currency is so ideal for gamblers.

They recently dropped instadebit... As a canadian, im not barred from wagering in my country, and this was the only legit next way to get paid...

Was going to deposit in there before ufc175, but will not play there until any friendly canadian options like instant e-cheque, i-debit and instadebit are there.

No point as i can get my money next day or quicker from many other books.

I love 5d and all the ufc options, but similar to bovada and intertops, no point playing if i cant get my money..

My accounts at matchbook/pinny/365/SIA/playnow all have quick payouts, so that will do...

Any reason why they got rid of instadebit, and now have limited withdrawl ooptions?

[jjgold]

Creed makes a good point only if the government intervenes with bitcoin there could be issues

Our government ruins everything

For now I think a good move for five dimes

[Domestic]

Great move from 5dimes.

What are bitcoins?

[KGambler]

What took so long?

This is going to get 5D a lot of business. Most of you guys have no idea the staggering amounts that are wagered in btc casinos.


Also agree that our gov ruins everything and is a danger.

Correct, both options will be available, but out of the gate BTC deposits come first.

And how exactly could they do that? Besides making it hard to buy and sell bitcoins (and they can't stop person to person transfers) it would nearly impossible given the current way the Internet works...

[pacers101]

have they said what would be a minimum deposit.

[jjgold]

Hopefully they have both deposits and withdrawls soon

Love the move

[The Giant]

I was just reading an article about this:

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

[muldoon]

The beauty of current BTC books like Nitrogen, are that you can move funds quickly back and forth (and bet in BTC)


So for the naysayers in here who drone on about losing your balance etc - books like Nitrogen allow folks like myself to transfer what we want to bet, if it wins, pull it back to our wallet for close to zero in fees (all within minutes). No screwing around in live help trying to get a W-U number. No attitude from managers explaining why a courier costs them X$ but they charge you triple that.


It's a good thing 5dimes is accepting BTC, but until they also allow you to withdraw, and can offer withdrawals within minutes like other books, then they're still behind in the game.

[evo34]

I wonder if they will still have rollover requirements.

[RenoChazz]

Having speedy payouts is the biggest upside to bitcoin, so hopefully coming soon, actually means coming soon. When Ultimate Poker came out two years ago they said they had a Mac version coming soon, 2 years later still waiting.
