    Default 5Dimes Making It Harder And Harder To Withdraw Funds

    This book is getting worse and worse, I'll surely be playing at another book soon. Then they get smart with you in chat, wow only trying to withdraw MY money. Getting very sad over there.

    Did you purposely leave out the details?

    I was wondering when someone would acknowledge this, its mighty strange how they brought back the wire method at the start of the football season and at the end they're now experience "processor issues" so now that feature isn't available anymore, not to mention now you can only withdraw 1 check every 7 days (wtf), that's ridiculous, i mean why this book is still a A+ book is beyond me.

    honestly, who is this person who feels limited in that they can only withdraw 3k a week from 5dimes?

    They can charge you more fee's by limiting the amount you can withdraw. One of the oldest revenue generating tricks in the book.

    Is that for real?
    A $3k limit per week at 5D?
    I don't have a problem with limiting to one cheque per week but such a low value is absurd for a supposed serious book.

    Guess I play at the wrong books. Thought $3000 was the maximum industry standard.

    If that's so one really has to feel for US punters.

    Not sure it's true though as my records show a withdrawal from 5D of $7,500 in October 2008.

    Perhaps their reducing the amount you can withdraw in hopes that you will have more money in account to bet with and possibly lose, I'll just stop betting there and withdraw what I have in it and find some more books.

    This. Any money left and your account is more likely to be gone placing bets. So limiting withdrawl amounts makes sense.

    These guys won't let me take over $990 via P2P, and usually only $850. Tried telling me since I deposited to their Costa Rican processor, I can't use that one for withdrawal over 990. That's absurd to me. Trying to kill me in fees. I really don't want to get a paper check either. Been taking these monthly 3 figure withdrawals to avoid having to pay an assload of fees, but it's getting ridiculous. I'm so frustrated with this book. Don't know what else to do though.

    edit: Also they won't let me use the Reduced Juice so I really have very little reason to stay. I think they won't let me take large amounts because they know I'll use it to deposit at another book if I get a large amount of cash at once from them.

    Ask 5Dimes. SBR asks that specific methods not be discussed here.

    Plus you'll get answers from the book itself, not anonymous internet posters.

    requested money yesterday at 8:30am from 5dimes and it was ready for pick up by 1:30am today when I logged in, so it may have been ready even earlier than that but I was asleep so not entirely sure, that is less than 24 hours from the time of my request. I don't understand the problem. I guess if you're trying to take them for more than 3k a week you will run in to some trouble, but I seriously doubt many people fall into that category. 3k a week times 52 weeks is 156,000 per year. That would make you a very serious gambler and a 1 percenter of the entire world of annual earners, and the fees of withdrawing should be written off as paying your taxes anyway. If you drive to a casino you have to pay outrageous gas prices, depending on how close you live to one. I think 40 bucks to have them send me 1k is reasonable when you consider not even having to leave your house to gamble and make the transactions. Other than the drive to pick the money up at the p2p location, which is down the street. It's not perfect, and it is far from as good as they have it in europe, but it's still better than nothing.

    You guys are morons.

    The withdrawal limit is not 3k/week. You can get out as much as 10k a week using diff methods. Typical sbr posters being extra dramatic.

    @BrianLaverty I think the moron is u, for not reading what was posted, it clearly states that you can only have 1 check every 7 days, which is true.

    I've had weeks where Ive won over 4 times that much, I'm sure others win well too, their becoming just as shady as some of the other books we've seen in the past.

    Nothing shady about having temporary processor issues, has happened to just about every US-facing book at one time or another.

    No need to speculate, nobody said it was temporary.
