    so you successfully got 5Dimes to edit their policy based on your shenanigans which will carry a negative impact to other players?

    bravo bud.

    See, guys don't even read his post they just want to chime in with their defense of 5dimes.

    He got them to follow their policy by complaining, and was informed that in the future he will have his own policy of no BTC withdrawals unless all his deposits are Bitcoin...so special policy just for him.
    OP overreacted but guys just jumping in to slam him and defend 5dimes over what is really a non issue is kinda silly.

    Kind of agree with OP here and not sure why 5dimes has an issue with this. You almost always will pay a decent "fee" depositing with btc. Whether it's at a Bitcoin atm or on local bitcoins. Circle and coin base have max on deposits that make it hard to get Bitcoin quickly without paying like 10% off the bat. Other deposit methods you do not need to pay any fees that aren't otherwise added to your account if you do incur them. Withdrawing BTC is the cheapest way to get it out. It makes logical sense you would deposit without BTC and withdraw with BTC. You don't need to be a finance major to figure this out.

    He followed the rules and fine 5dimes can do what they want if it may potentially hurt other clients. But that chat was extremely unprofessional with accusations and bs towards a long time customer acting like he was using them as an exchange. He was just doing what made the most sense and would incur him the least fees. He had to jump through hoops to even get Becky to honor what is on their website. 5dimes needs to understand that depositing via BTC passing along fees to consumers that is not getting reimbursed. They can offer incentive like they do by paying p2p fees but they do not. Depositing BTC incurs hidden fees for the depositor.

    Update the rules and move forward but for f sake honor the rules that this guy signed up for when he sent you his money without him having to deal with ridiculous accusations and threaten to post on SBR before you even said you would honor his payout. Just my opinion.

    i side with op. he didn't break any rules. they clearly wrote the rules and not op. when op followed the rules, they didn't like it for whatever the reason. it's hard enough to beat the vig, now they want to give players shit for trying to cashout? gtfoh!!!

    my advice is p2p to heritage sports and you won't have this problem. gl

    Incorrect. They don't want the OP to use their Bitcoin process like a free exchange.

    Thankfully they updated their Bitcoin policy so people won't try and abuse it.

    i side with 5dimes because just as many old rules that were abused by players in the past that got changed to now make it more difficult for the other 99% of the players that did not abuse the rules to gamble, it happens again. new tougher policy because of abuse is not what we need. we need players to not abuse policy. if you find an advantage don't beat it to dead until the sportsbook has to step in. it is in your own best interest.

    lol some of yous... if cashing out less than $4000 is huge money for a book and it's a big deal, you have lot more to worry about than accusing op of abusing the system. it's not like he made a deposit and straight up cashed out. jesus... he took a risk and he has the right to cash out, he didn't break the rules.

    i guess some of you are deposit only so you don't have these problems.

    another note, open up a coinbase account asap even if you don't use bitcoin atm. i'm glad i opened up my coinbase account months ago even though i just recently started using bitcoin. now my limit is up $1900.

    Sure man...never heard of a respectable gambler engaging in this behavior. If you are a winner you never deposit and if you are a loser you never withdrawal. Why would you or the OP continue to deposit if you are always winning? Just withdrawal less than you need to bet....at least that is what I do. You are suggesting people should win, withdrawal all their money and then re-deposit a percentage to bet again. Books aren't a fan of that because of the transaction expenses involved (e.g., processor, shipping, staff, etc.). I suppose you have never run a business.

    did i say i did what the op did? don't put words in my mouth. i'm just pointing out the fact that he didn't break any rules. they're the ones that wrote the rules not op. do you have reading comprehension problems or what?

    if 5dimes doesn't like what op is doing, change the fukking rules. why is that so hard to understand for some of you goons? they wrote the rules, don't change it in the middle of the transaction. that's not how you run a business.

    That's exactly what needs to be said. OP didn't make the rules, cause u sure as hell know they won't budge on any rule. All these guys won't say much until a book changes an important rule on them, I remember a lot of times they have done this crap, they even pulled it on me once and I wasn't to happy about it when I did nothing wrong.
    Most people don't realize we are free to do with our money how we wish, finish the rollovers or any of there rules then anything goes, they can't tell us crap what and how to do with it. Deposit and withdraw as many times as u feel. That's the reason we play at the good places. Screw there stupid rule and switching it on him, bothering him over a few hundred or few thousand.

    5dimes did not like what the op was doing. they paid him then changed the rules. i wish they did not feel the need to change the rules but because of this op doing it enough to draw attention to himself i do see why they decided to change the rules before more customers do the same thing. don't understand either side as being right or wrong. that's just what happens when someone brings attention to something that will cost a sportsbook some extra money they did not anticipate. they compensate and make an adjustment by tweeking the rules.

    so all i'm saying is if you find an advantage in any form while gambling don't do it so much that you draw attention and that the sportsbook has to explain their intent with the rule to you. then you come to a forum explain how you have been taking advantage of the rules in place so that now everyone can do the same and it leaves them no choice but to change the rules.

    find and advantage. use it. don't draw attention. take advantage but not so much that your account gets limited or restricted or you just get the boot. tell your friends but don't tell the world on a forum.

    i like siding with gamblers not sportsbooks. but people need to use a little common sense. what's best for everyone in the long run is better than what's best for one guy right now.
