BetUs won't stop calling me!

[NevadaJay]

Kev - how can I go about getting BetUs to stop calling me begging for a deposit? Any advice would be much appreciated.

DC is the Slim Shady for sure.

I absolutely loved using Bet365 prior to this bill being passed. They are run by a publicly traded company, so the changes of these guys taking my identity or overcharging my credit card were slim to none. I so want the 'good old days' to come back.

Hate the fact that these other books require and get government issued images of id's, your credit card info (front and back), and anything else they ask for....maybe I'm just being paranoid, but if something goes wrong, what recourse is there? I sure as hell won't be able to fly down to Bermuda or Jamaica or Antigua and try to get my money or identity back. Am I the only one with these concerns?

your cards expire every few years so its not like its going to get you and at the drop of a hat you can freeze your account...


as far as your id goes like drivers liscence, the info on that can be found on the internet... someone could take your ip address log it find out who your provider is from there and the name on the account, also your name and address is most likely already on the internet if u search hard enough u will find out your full name date of birth address and house phone number can all be found pretty easy, and it will also be tied to all your immediate siblings...


just dont give out your ssn, that is what they can use to apply for stuff in your name, with out your ssn your name is worthless...


besides these companies have been in business for a long time, im 26 and i have been betting with 5dimes since i was 18 (-2 cough) lol and if they did shady things like that they would be outta business already... :thumbs:

a Tennessee senator tacked it into another bill that was pretty much guaranteed to pass (some transportation bill), as you said at the midnight hour.

from what I remember, people already voted to pass this transportation bill, so most went home, and they were just making minor adjustments when he sneaked his POS bill to piggyback on this main one that was already going through.

- still makes me mad thinking about the shady ass underhand shyt that goes on in Washington.

anyways I read a couple months back that NJ passed a state law allowing online gambling (both sports and poker I think). Doesn't mean much other than if other states see NJ's example, maybe they will pass their own laws similarly.

I just used my visa cc with no problems. I do remember sending a copy of my card and license at some point but have never had problems with the credit card method.

[The Mailman]

I can't confirm this, but I've heard that 5dimes does have an echecks option AFTER you've established a history with them. I believe the reason for this is to avoid chargebacks which are costly and risk them losing their processor for such.

[DukiesBaby]

Is that thru Neteller or just actually by doing a visa transaction? When I saw your post yesterday I tried depositing at 5 dimes by selecting visa under credit card deposit but after I entered my info it directed me to a page that wanted me to sign up for Neteller, which of course I didn't because doing a 3rd party transaction is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Ugh

No i sent an email into certification@5dimes.com

in the email i attached a picture id and front and back picture of the visa card.. than i called in to customer service the next day they forwarded me to the deposit team..

they told me i can only do visa deposits from my account directly over the phone, so all u have to do is call in and makeur deposits, after you have given your picture id and picture of card....


also if u withdrawl under $1000 they can directly deposit it right back to your debit account, if over $1,000 they than mail you a paper check...

I still can't believe the law was changed under Bush...haven't quite figured out why that was allowed to happen in the midnight hour. I don't think we have a chance in hell with Obama in office.

Just got my credit/debit card back with 5dimes... Just have to send in photo id and picture of card, and you can use the cards again... Oh Im a happy Duck now :beerbang:

Dukiesbaby -

One thing to consider...the sports I like to play aren't offered in any casino in Vegas. So I have to rely on the online books.

I hope that username of yours is related to the B'devils...gotta love Coach K and how he recruits year after year after year!

I'm just saying I'm tired of the nanny state country that we live in. Let us, the American people, decide how we want to spend our money.

Not to sound like an ass here, but why in the flipping f'en f*** can't our legislators get over themselves and open up sports betting to Americans?

I just don't get it. Someone needs to run for office with this as their sole hidden agenda. Damn, this is frustrating!

your location says u are in vegas, and ur name is nevada jay so technically you shouldnt need an online sportsbook, u live in the greatest city in all of the world... What i mean by greatest is, its the one true city where u actually are a free man... I cant wait to make my move permanent there... this back and forth is killin me...



ya about 5 dimes.. i cant agree more if they would go back to e-checks or visa, than i would drop all my other books and just use them, they paid out with paper checks like bookmaker and they have more betting options than any other book i have seen.... i used to player prop bet there on mlb games.. player vs player total bases ... was a good way to make some dough and enjoy the game a lil more... batter pitcher matchups to a whole new level...:thumbs:

That's terrible (about Bet US). My personal opinion of them is very, very low. Worst of any book i've ever encountered.

But my real reason for replying here again is because I too was looking into using 5 Dimes just last week, but couldn't really find an acceptable way to deposit funds. I was given 2 options and both seemed like more of a pain in the ass than they're worth.

SIA and Sportsbook.com allow easy deposits with my VISA card which draws the money straight from my bank account, and w/d's via paper check have always been a non hassle except once from SIA when they delayed the withdrawal due to some "routine account check" and didn't notify me. I did however receive the money, so while I found it weird what they did/told me, I did get paid.

I want a book with reduced juice though, and I know 5 Dimes offers that. Bet Jamaica has good baseball lines too, but same issue there.....all the deposit methods are funky. I mean I'd rather avoid making accounts with 3 different "handlers" of my money or whatever before it actually gets where it's going, going to Western Union and sending money to some guy named Dung Hung Po in the Phillippines, or whatever other forms of nonsense most of these books make you go through.

Any suggestions of either a half normal way to get money in either 5 Dimes or Bet Jamaica, or a different book with reduced juice/true 10 cent baseball lines (more than just up to -130 or something) that will accept my VISA card or a direct transfer from my bank acct?

Thanks

I hardly use betus anymore they give so much hassel to withdraw funds.. fax in id's fill out forms etc etc...

I use bookmaker now as my primary book, i have never had an issue with deposit or withdrawal (knocks on wood) but when i click payout i select check in mail, 3-5 days later i got a check, no forms no bs... they have been far the best customer service book i have dealt with to date..

5dimes was my main book for all the betting options, but i cant use them anymore since they no longer accept card deposits... :eyz:

Agreed, I love bookmaker and 5dimes and have never had problems with either of them. Betus always sends me junk in the mail and one of the more recent books I used (can't think of it right now) keeps calling.

A few months back I was able to use my visa credit card on 5dimes.
