5Dimes Sports book Review

Overview

5Dimes Sportsbook is one of the more venerable online gambling operations on the Internet, having been founded in 1998. That means it is currently in its 11th year of operation, and still going strong.

5Dimes is based in Costa Rica, where it is licensed and regulated. The site offers not only sports betting, but also a full poker room and an online casino. Players are assigned a single account which works across all areas of the site, making it possible to indulge in all of your gambling pleasures at one convenient site.

Games and Software

Most of the software that 5Dimes uses is proprietary and in-house. However, they outsource their poker operations, using the Flash Poker Network – this ensures that there are always a large number of poker players to play against.

The 5Dimes platform runs on absolutely any computer with an Internet connection – it doesn’t matter whether you own a Windows-based computer or an Apple Macintosh, because it all runs inside your Internet browser.

5Dimes is, first and foremost, a sports betting site. You can place a wager on almost any sport played in the United States of America, including the more obscure ones like handball. NBA, NFL, it’s all available here.

Moving abroad, most international sporting events are covered, too. Whether you want to wager on tennis, cricket, rugby or soccer, you’ll be able to do so at 5Dimes.

You don’t have to place just straight bets either, you can also do betting variations such as side bets, splits and Parlay bets.

On the Poker side of things, you’ve got the option to play conventionally or in a 3D poker room – which adds a nice graphical twist to the game.

The casino is split into four different rooms, depending on how you like to play. There’s a Bonus casino, a Jackpot casino, a Cash Back casino, and a Match Play casino. Each one works differently, and has a different set of games in it. It’s up to you to pick the one you like that works best for you.

Bonuses and Loyalty Programs

On your first deposit into your sports book account, you’ll receive a 50% match deposit bonus which can yield up to $200 in free bonus cash for use on sports betting.

Additionally, depending on which methods you use for transferring cash into your casino account, you can earn an additional $500 in bonuses simply for using alternative funding methods.

Payment Methods

5Dimes makes no attempt to accept credit cards, which is just as well seeing as no US client can use one anymore. Instead they focus almost exclusively on e-wallets.

You can fund your account using Click2Pay, NETeller, Moneybookers, or eWalletXpress. You can also use bank transfers, wire transfers and money orders.

Safety and Customer Service

Support is available at any time of day or night, 365 days a year. You can get help by writing an email to the support staff, or by phoning them if you need to deal with a human voice.
