Logged into Sportbet this morning and it looks like they have been absorbed by 5dimes, same interface and same lines.............how long did I sleep???

for that matter, has anyone been able to confirm that bettors are allowed an 5Dimes acct and a sportbet acct?

edit: oh also, do they accept same book-to-book transfers as 5 dimes?

5 dimes bought them at the end of last year

looks like they are finally merging to the 5 dimes platform. Not sure why you would want an acct at both shops since the lines should be the same. they took away the nice promo's from sportbet so I can't see much reason to play there

Play one account! Better!

I will miss Sportbet

Can anyone recommend the best way to cash out under $400 from Sportbet, now aka 5Dimes? Do they offer any free withdrawals (eg. 1x month)? I played at Sportbet, but don't really like the new 5Dimes interface. I'm non-US, but the $25 fee for Moneybookers and Neteller seems high for the amount I'd like to withdraw.

Me too

loved the free play Friday promo in bases

It was announced months ago (like 4-5 months ago) that 5dimes bought sportbet. I'm surprised the full integration didn't happen right after the end of football season.

Great, thanks Austin. It's not on their site, so it's good to get inside info.

I shall mourn the loss of Sportbet

This is still sportbet

It seems perhaps 5 dimes bought them, but they are still a sportsbook on its own?

like Diamonnd sports is owed by Cris? Am I right?

[AimingHigh]

Well, when they were first bought last year, nothing changed. They "upgraded" their website this week, and now their layout, and I think their odds too, are just a clone of 5Dimes. Given that that's the case, it seems fairly pointless for them to keep Sportbet a separate website.

I'm not sure how that compares to the Cris group: do they all have the exact same betting options and lines?

[Peeig]

Hope I don't have a problem - doubt I will.

I've been playing at both all year - never noticed they were integrated (Sportbet never had good lines - just liked their bonuses so I never noticed 5dimes always was the same as half the world is the same.

Anyways, I'll just ask 5dimesi if they can combine the balances.

I've had both accounts for about a decade so I don't think they give me any problem for playing at both - I hope anyways.

I disagree with this.....they certainly had some playable lines when i looked

I asked sportbet if it was OK to open an account there if I already had one at 5dimes. The answer was NO.

[20Four7]

I have accounts at both but Have far more money in 5 dimes..... mind you I had 2 accounts long before the merger.

[michael777]

i had 2 accounts also long before the merger,shortly after the merger they closed my sportbet account
