    5 Crimes Zeroes out my account for no reason

    I'm fairly new to 5 Dimes, do they make balance mistakes often? They apologized & corrected the mistake, however a free play compensation would have been a nice gesture on their part. I want books I can trust, not having to check my account history every day looking for their mistakes.

    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Renee'
    Renee: Hello. How may I assist you today?
    Robert Wavro: 5Dxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
    Robert Wavro: Hi, why was my account given a zero balance debit?
    Robert Wavro: -$73.19?
    Renee: One moment please
    Renee: Please hold Im checking your account
    Renee: Sir that has been fixed Im sorry for the inconvience
    Renee: it was just an error on our part
    Robert Wavro: Obviously it was an error, I want to know why it happened? I can't have $ disappearing from my account for no reason.
    Robert Wavro: So if I didn't happen to check my account, I would have lost $79?
    Renee: Someone accidently clicked on a tab that resets your account on the beginning of the week
    Robert Wavro: unacceptable for a book that's rated A+ on SBR.
    Renee: Well the moment you noticed it we fixed it right away
    Renee: we have no intention of keeping your money
    Robert Wavro: yes you corrected it after I pointed out your error, my point is I shouldn't have to check my account every day looking for mistakes.
    Renee: No sir this does not happen often, I apologize we deal with many accounts help numerous customers at a time and now the mistake is solved
    Robert Wavro: ok, whatever
    Renee: Is there anything else I can assist you with?
    Robert Wavro: apparently not
    Renee: ok well have a nice night

    This may come as a surprise to the OP, but sportsbooks are run by humans who occasionally make mistakes. A real shocker, I know.

    From my experience, their casino is legit. I'm talking sportsbook error, not casino. Ridiculous thread title? It's exactly what happened.

    No surprise Doughboy...Yes, everyone makes the occasional mistake. My question was do they make mistakes often?

    One time money was missing from my 5 dimes account. Called CS and they told me everything was normal. Basically blew me off. Then the money reappeared in my account about 1 hour later. Never had the problem again, but it was strange. Overall, 5 dimes is a solid book.

    5dimes did this to me twice in the same day, corrected it, then did it again and didn't correct it for 24 hours. And don't even get me started on the nightmare I had trying to withdraw via **. They accused me of picking up the funds, when they were never sent. Took them almost 2 weeks to finally sort it out and pay me, w/ no apologies for accusing me of trying to scam them. Bunch of idiots, there's better customer service, 5dimes is a D book now in my eyes

    Some of you guys need to learn how to treat these C.S people with respect. Seriously I read all these complaints about how C.S is horrible but in my experience you get what you give. As far as the missing account funds? I am sure it was an error and they fixed it immediately upon notification. C'mon really their are real complaints to address so we shouldn't muddy up the waters with stuff like this.

    Bit of a ridiculous thread, though I respect you basically admitting you were angling for a freeplay out of the resolved honest mistake.

    And how again is the amount relevant? If I didn't recently transfer $930 to DSI, then it would have been $1,000 zeroed out. You really think 5 Dimes would have replaced the funds if I didn't catch their error? I think not. A lot of high & mighty people in here like to talk smack defending a book, until that book screws you. Then who will be the whiny scumbag Rumple? I'm new to this book so I'll accept their apology, move on, & take their word it was an honest mistake. When a book makes a mistake, it's a nice gesture to give a free play. Did I beg or even ask for a free play? No, I didn't. It's just something a classy book would do. I was mainly trying to get a feel if financial errors happen often at 5 Dimes, & a couple other posters did have problems as well. I don't have time to babysit a book every day to make sure my balance is accurate, & I shouldn't have to. Instead of defending your A+ sponsor & commenting how ridiculous a posters thread is, your time would be better served answering posters questions. Such as why Heritage was taken down from the SBR odds page. Thank you.

    Every1 should lay off of him here. The other wk I made a post about how if someone transferred me $50 I would pay them back and waves was nice enough to respond quickly. If most of you guys were in this same situation, you would all be bitching as well!

    it was a honest mistake. I agree the amount doesn't matter, but the customer rep asked for your account info. the very next line was she acknowledging the mistake and it was fixed. to me, they already aware of the situation and in the process of fixing it when you talked to renee. every book is going make some kind of mistake, at least they are on top of it. damn, you make it sound like that 2 minutes chat session is such a big interruption to your life to ask for a freeplay.

    It wasn't on any sport, nor wager. When I saw my zero balance, I clicked on transactions to see why the funds disappeared. Transaction report just said zero balance debit -$73.19. Which was my full balance at the time.

    Renee's excuse: "Someone accidently clicked on a tab that resets your account on the beginning of the week."

    They were only aware of the situation, because I brought it to their attention. Otherwise, I'm out the $. Apparently you didn't read the chat, as I didn't ask for a free play at all. I was only waiting for Renee to offer FP in compensation for their error, as that's how a class book would handle their error. Now I know why 5D customer service is rated among the worst. Sorry doesn't always cut the mustard, since I would have been out the funds if I wasn't alert catching their error.

    Account since 2005, best book in the business. Been misgraded maybe four times, every time fixed within an hour. Every chat I've ever had with 'Tony' has been cordial

    Really?
    Maddux, OSGA, and other sports book reviews have 5D CS highly rated.

    Here's another one

    I was referring to SBR posters views of 5D customer service, which is well documented on this forum. People who actually play at 5 Dimes. Not independent sports book reviews, who are paid for their good ratings.

    ^
    With the exception of a few posters that started conversations off with 'Tony' with an attitude and a chip on their shoulder, I would say over 85 percent of the posters here have no problem with 5D's CS, and I bet that 95 percent of the posters here that play regular at 5Dimes, don't have a problem at all with their CS.

    Now Tony isn't going to win any congeniality awards any time soon, but if you give him a little respect, he resolves disputes, quickly.
    I'm sure you are a decent fella, with redeeming qualities, but from where I sit, looks like you are blowing a honest mistake, that was corrected mind you, waaaaaaay out of proportion.

    Wow. Why is this even a thread? A mistake was made, it was corrected immediately without any inconvience, argument, or justification needed. This should only be a thread if they took a long time to fix it, or they tried to claim the debit was legit.

    Just because a mistake was made doesn't entitle you to anything. That is the problem with everyone these days -- everyone things they are owed repercussions for an unintentional mistake.

    I would agree with not really seeing the point of the post unless you wanted to show how treating people like shit when you seeking discretionary handouts usually doesn't work... Personally I try to live by "you catch more flies with sugar then vinegar" rule when I'm seeking something especially when you just handed someone, probably making like $3 an hour, your account number and password...
