Has anyone had refunds processed today? It's been over 24 hours and still nothing yetComment -
Who owns 5dimes now that "Tony" is history? When I read about the details of his demise it immediately set off alarm bells when it referenced American LE involved in the case. Somehow I don't see his family continuing on business as usual. Any "loyalty" to american customers I would consider to be out the window.Comment -
It's 100% obvious what is going on here now. Don't worry about getting paid. 5dimes Has to pay everyone to meet their future goal. It's all good. Inconvenience yes but, now understandable. Sleep well tonight, gamblers.Comment -
i always thought Tony was the “manager” of 5dimes, yes he founded it,but 5Dimes was owned by the investors, whom I would consider himself and others not wanting to be named. His wife was the one that hired the American investigators. The only “loyalty” Tony had to American customers was that’s where the money was. My guess is this move is to become bigger and better legally, or a complete sellout of the brand. No more Amazon gift cards, office equipment and gold bullion.Comment -
Ive never heard a book saying to improve they must leave the country and come back. what kind of bullshit is that really?Comment -
Yesterday when 5D announced leaving, they willingly transferred balance and outstanding bets to "sister book" Betanysports. Today they won't....WTF? Worse, a 3% fee will now be imposed for me to get my funds. Total BS, especially for a supposed A+ Book.
I remember when Pinnacle left the US market. It was orderly and consistent. Plus everyone got their money w/o being gouged. 5 Dimes giving a final FY to loyal clients.Comment -
Looks like they are free-rolling now. After I asked to have my pending bets cancelled and refunded, they graded as a loss my bet that Kamela would be president. I agree that it's very likely a loser, but it's not 100% decided.Comment -
I will gladly pay the 3% to ensure this nightmare ends without it getting worse and saving the funds now.Comment -
They aren’t coming back , if they were and had a legal plan to return there wouldn’t be the questions being raised. It would have all been worked out in advance and wouldn’t have been rushed like this. Also wouldn’t sbr be aware of something as important to offshore if they were going to operate legally in the states, you would think so anywayComment -
5dimes could be miscalculating here for sure but the plan is to legitimatize and come back a betcris. I don't see it working, but to have a chance, 5dimes has to pay everyone of you.Comment -
So basically what your saying is the US government said be good-legal for a year, pay who you owe in the US quickly and we will let you possibly operate in the states. I really don’t see the government making a deal like that but what do I know. If this is the case then it would be smart to assume Heritage Bookmaker Betonline etc will be next to leave the US market so they can come back legallyComment -
I don't believe there is a deal. I think 5dimes is solvent enough to take this risk. And, IMO, it will not work. But, to have any chance at all in an American legal market, they have to pay everyone currently. I believe they will do that because it's imperative that they do.Comment -
That would be one heck of a risk to take if it wasn’t all pre arranged. I’m glad I just have $ at Heritage and don’t have to deal with this mess this time, but all of our offshore time may be running out if your theory is correctComment -
Black market sports betting is done in America. Why would a bettor partake in an illegal market when a regulated market is available and the perks are getting better and better with competition.Comment -
What happened when the Greek left / Pinnacle left with their futures? How did they handle it?
There has to be a rest of the story here. They are handling it like they had a bad weekend and came in to the coffee room and said let's cash in and go.
Smells more like a DOJ ultimatum / "close up or we will prosecute". Tony's wife must be in a $Crowbar Hotel in some country that has extradition to the USA and this close it up story was invented by an 8th grader in his English writing class.Comment -

I'm gettin that impression.Comment -
Of course the American Dept of Justice knows all about this. Don't be naive.Comment -
Last I heard about 300 miles done. I dunno I'm not there.Comment -
Of course but within 2 yrs 40 states will be legal. Plan ahead and don't fall victim.Comment -
Offshore black market sports betting is done in America. Hold on if you want and cuddle your dreams. Your choice. It's done and over...Comment -
I think Greek/Betjamaica just transferred everything lock, stock, and barrel, including outstanding futures, to Heritage. Was smooth as could be. Pinnacle allowed their futures to stand until settled, and paid out when they were, even though they weren't serving the US anymore. I had a Political bet settled and paid out months after they left the US.
There is definitely a date deadline that is being imposed on 5D, either self imposed or by someone externally. This is not being handled nearly as well as Pinny/Greek exiting the US.Comment -
If I remember right when Greek and Bet Jam transitioned to Heritage, we just woke up one morning and our funds and account info were in Heritage. There was no discussion , or any choices it was already done. Heritage then gave you the option to stay or cash out, I remember cashing out half with no issues that day via **. Been there ever sinceLast edited by capitalist pig; 09-08-20, 07:36 PM.Comment -
