Sportsbook recommendations after 5dimes shutting down US customers

Apparently 5D will transfer balances to BetAnySports .. a site it seems most of us have never heard of until yesterday. Many have said here the layout/betting options are identical to 5dimes, so that may be the way to go.

If they offered live betting for football I'd sign up but that's all I do mostly.

I've only had a 5Dimes account for years and I'm wondering where to go to now as well. Like pattymayo just said above, most people are going to BetAnySports (BAS) apparently which is a clone of the 5Dimes site. SBR has BAS rated as an A- in their review see this link https://www.sportsbookreview.com/bet.../betanysports/

So it sounds like BAS isn't some scam sports betting site at least. Right now I'm thinking of creating a BAS account then reaching out to 5Dimes and have them transfer my balance but I'm also contemplating going with a legal place. I live in Colorado and they just approved online sportsbetting May 1st but I'd have to go with Fan Duel or Draft Kings and I have no idea how they are.

So 5Dimes won't do account transfers to BetAnySports any longer according to their live chat I just got off, see my screenshot below. I should have asked what sportsbooks they are allowing transfers to but didn't. I found it funny the live chat rep I got "Dave" has a pic of a white guy for the avatar, doubt that's legit. They probably force their Costa Rican customer service reps to use fake names and avatars to make the Americans feel comfortable.

Not transferring there should tell you something

Exactly like the Greek to Heritage.

The Greek/Bet Jamaica experience was about as good as could be. Transferred to Heritage. If you liked it, stay and play. If not, they (Heritage) paid you the money that was transferred.

Oh well.

i only had heard about that but it sounded perfectly thought out which leads me to believe this came about for 5 dimes unexpectedly or faster than they had thought.

i recommend betnow as a book. 100% 5 x RO cash. not as many betting options but people get paid when they withdraw.

also betagame is good. fastest payout i ever got.

Not trying to "stir the pot" or put forth any conspiricy theories BUT:

If Legendary 5 Dimes can "bite the bullet" what confidence can we have with the other BIG 3?

(BOL-BM-HERT)

Would hate to see a run on offshore. (Not trying to cause anxiety, but hell, we gotta think of these possibilities, no?)
