    5Dimes Sportsbook Wagering Suspended
    Just logged in to my account and was met with the following message.

    Sportsbook Wagering Suspended

    Sportsbook wagering has been suspended. Please contact customer service for more information.


    Is this just me? If so, why would this happen?

    Last night I had some success at a new casino game called All or Nothing Solitaire. Earlier today (when I had access to my account) this game was shut down but other casino games worked. I am worried there there was some problem with this game and I will not receive my winnings. Any advice?

        Get ready to talk to Tony! You're gonna get the boot I'm guessing and hes a real dick about it too. If you're up at least 5k expect this.

          The person on the phone would only tell me my account is "under review" and they do it from time to time to everybody and it was "my turn" and the account would be back open tomorrow. Any chance at all that is the truth?

            Why would I get the boot from winning at a -ev casino game? If I do, so be it but that doesn't really make sense. All I really care about is getting the money on my account.

              Have you won a lot of $ recently? That reasoning they gave you is 100% BS, what book would stop a random player from wagering?...

                  Thats why your account is under review and all games are frozen. They are verifying you didn't cheat the system somehow since you had a size-able win in as you admitted a -EV game. I've seen their All or Nothing game though, def looks like a very high variance game. Anyways, be patient, it'll be unfrozen soon, standard procedure for any casino to verify large wins before paying out or allowing further game play. Report it to SBR if it isn't unfrozen within 48 hours.

                    Yes, extremely high variance. I played the option in which you have to win 2 games in a row. No success for a while betting $10 (to win $4000) and then, after dropping down to $5, won twice (not back to back but not particularly far apart). I assumed this is why my account was suspended and, knowing I did not do anything to cheat, am farily confident my account will be restored or at the very least my money will be paid but I'm still freaking out.

                          Nothing- at that point I was able to log in and see the message that my account was suspended. At some point since then they made it so I cannot log in. I will have to call them now.

                                That's NOT standard procedure and $4k is not a "very large win" in the casino. I've had bigger wins than that at Bovada among others and never once had my account frozen for "review"
                                If the game was in DGS software (the software used here at SBR casino) then it's possible they'll claim it was a software malfunction and confiscate winnings even though it's -ev game. They did it to that corey guy for hitting royal flushes close together playing VP. If you were playing in the real time casino you should be fine, but it's still not standard procedure to freeze an account for winning $4k in the casino.

                                  Ages ago I got up $40k there and they never limited me or gave me any notice of course I finished that year -$9k in the hole so maybe Tony knew I would give it all back and more.

                                      Yeah, I did not think 4k was an amount that would even really show up on their radar. Just have to see where we're at tomorrow.

                                        Well it looks like my account is restored and all is OK. Oh, except they pulled 3k from my account stating u was paid at the wrong odds.

                                        Absolutely ridiculous.

                                          Nothing to do with your casino win then?

                                            Incorrect. It has everything to do with my casino win. I won two $5 games in the All or Nothing Solitaire casino games in the mode of having to win two consecutive games, winning $2000 each. 5Dimes is now saying that I should have been paid 105-1, not 400-1, and has deducted the difference from my account. It is important to note a few things-

                                            1. It was explicitly stated that $5 wins $2000. The other limits were also 400-1 ($1 to win $400, $2 to win $800, etc). So this was not an error on one specific amount. That has now been changed to 105-1.
                                            2. This was also in line with the payout for winning a single game of 19-1. That has now been changed to 10-1.
                                            3. Last night was the first time I played the game. So it is not as though I saw the error and tried to take advantage. To me, those were the correct payouts.

                                            So basically 5dimes offered a game with specific payouts, and once I won the game, retroactively decided to change to the payouts. That does not seem right to me.

                                              Doesn't sound right to me either. I would file a complaint. Sounds like a sportsbook casino taking shots at players (offering good odds to people and if it hits taking that away).

                                              The other night I saw the frontpage of 5dimes talking about this all or nothing solitare and I went to see what the payout was for 1 win - it was 19 to 1 as you say. Win 1 game and win $20. So its been like that for MULTIPLE days.

                                                        Do any other casinos offer this game? I'm not familiar with casino games and couldn't find any odds using google outside of 5Dimes and Sportbet.
