    yeah those two are some of the issues but they are not small, they cancel peoples bets citing bad line when it wasnt, or put out bad lines on purpose to free roll players, sign they might be hurting financially

    and also many people complain about their information being sold by 5dimes, and also cc fraud, probably someone at 5dimes stealing cc info

    also there have been people recently complaining about slow pays

    I got this email from them the other day, where they claim they are back to offering Check payouts. Haven't played with them for a while so I don't know about any recent issues, but I never had an issue with them in the past.

    Dear x,
    We are glad to inform you that we are retaking the processing of payouts via VIP Check and since you are one of the customers who used to process payments through this method, we thought you might like the idea of getting a new one.

    If you still like to take this opportunity, please contact the Payout Team back at your earliest convenience and we will be to assist you and clear any question you may have. We can even place a VIP Check payout request for you.

    For more assistance in this or any other matter, feel free to contact us via Live Help or by dialing our toll free number 1-800-430-5896.

    Regards,

    Tavo
    Customer Service

    I’ve never had bad experience. They have had site issues in past. If we get ****** then online play will end for me. Just like online poker did when I watched them penetrate clients. Only a fool plays poker online.

    Just did my routine check of the email, received a promotional email from them at 11:48PM Eastern Time advertising to bet on UFC 217 and the Breeders Cup. So don't know if that might provide a good indication maybe they're having technical difficulties. Would be weird though if they sent that out and decided "screw this, I'm out!"

    maybe they were on the brink of getting screwed/bankrupt, but thought okay if dodgers pull this out, we'll be in the clear. maybe they had tons on astros futures or something and they said okay if astros win, we're pulling the plug, taking the money and running. until then, business as usual and create no suspicion.

    that's what i think happened (if they're indeed gone, which i hope hope hope they arent)

    Then why are we able to be talking on SBR? Aren't they both based in Costa Rica? If it was that bad this site would be down or am I off base on that?

    I just took bitcoin out of the SBR store and put it in 5 dimes. Haven’t used it yet, just wanted to get my first bitcoin transaction under my belt. This would be about a bitch if they cut and run the next day

    i think i do recall seeing a note on the top of the website about site matience didn't really pay attention what night it would be seems odd they would plan it for tonight, but i have a feeling this is most likely site matience and they will be back up later on

    Yeah, IF they are gone, it wasn't just the world series. They were going anyway.

    I'll probably get banned for a few months, AGAIN, for posting this, a simple link about sbr... but you shouldn't be surprised at the lack of sbr weighing in on this -

    Optional already did pal. He said he notified the head office to get to the bottom of this. Optional is 100% legit in my book.
