It's not a bad thing to want 5Dimes to improve on their BTC payout efficiency.
    I get that. Reliability is more important than raw speed to me too.

    I really don't know why 5D use the system they do, and it is a bit clunky, but personally I've never been concerned about a payout not arriving from there so don't see it as a big thing.

    And don't forget, the chances of winning a payout that will keep your head above water--I estimated, 92.5% will never get ahead of Books they deal with in their entire gambling history. In the long run. Yet those fees are right there with your on you treacherous gambling journey.
    Who charges fees for a BTC deposit? Or a withdrawal for that matter?

    Sometimes phone but more often just email verification of the bitcoin address, in my experience.

    Come on Tony... make 5dimes great again... Theres no reason for these tactics

    Tony isnt dumb, so, this has to be deliberate, to make the process as inefficient as possible and be the slowest by far of all the big boys

    On day 4 going to day 5 of a $5k BTC withdraw. Still "requested" nothing but bullshit and headaches. Stalling tactics, most likely riding btc recent gains before paying, just a complete joke.

    They don’t hold Bitcoin, so market value has nothing to do with it.

    It should be a lot faster now that you've been verified. 5Dimes always takes about 24 hours for me lately.
