Online since 1998, 5Dimes is a longstanding, highly-rated sportsbook. They are known for their promotions, sports coverage and reliable payouts.
Quick Details About 5Dimes.eu
Here are some basic, yet important details behind 5Dimes.eu.
- 5Dimes accepts American bettors. They are one of the few gambling sites to accept bettors from all 50 states.
- 5Dimes is Mac and mobile friendly.
- 5Dimes is not licensed. That’s not because they choose not to be licensed, but because Costa Rica, where 5Dimes is headquartered, does not provide gaming licenses. However, unlike other (untrustworthy) sportsbooks, 5Dimes does not claim to be licensed.
- In addition to sports betting you can also play casino, live dealer and poker games.
Now lets take a look at 5Dimes promotions, betting and banking options.
5Dimes Promotions
5Dimes runs several promotions. However, it’s important to keep in mind that once you choose a promotion that it’ll be the only promotion you can participate in, unless specified otherwise.
Reduced Juice – 5Dimes’ default promotion is their reduced juice. Instead of risking $110 to win $100 like you do at every other sportsbook online, you’re able to make bets at -105. The maximum you can wager while taking advantage of the reduced juice is $500. Unless you request a different promotion, the reduced juice will be automatically given to you when you sign-up/deposit.
50% Plus New Player Reward – Another option is 5Dimes’ 50% Plus New Player Reward. If you deposit an amount between $100 and $400, you’ll receive a free-play reward up to $200. If you make a deposit that exceeds $400, but is less than $2,000, you’ll qualify for an additional 20%. The total amount you can earn is $520. To clear the bonus you need wager your deposit amount 10 times. Each time you meet the requirements you’ll be given 10% of your bonus.
It’s important to note, too, that this bonus money is for betting only. You can only keep the winnings.
Free Play Reward (Reload) – This is a reload bonus. If you make a deposit using one of their specified methods you can earn between $40 and $500. This bonus will be released to you in 20% increments.
Cash Back Rewards – You can earn up to 20% cash back. The exact amount you receive will depend on which option you choose. In other words, if you accept the cash back offer only 2x per year, you can get 20%. However, if you take the rebate once per 30 day period you’ll receive 15%. Once per week on Tuesdays is 10% and any other time is 5%. Keep in mind that once you choose an option you cannot use the others.
These are what I feel are the best promotions running at 5Dimes. There are others though. To learn more about them you’ll want to visit 5Dimes and check out their promotions page.

For NCAA football you have plenty of options. You can bet on regular season games, championship games and prop bets, such as who will win the Heisman Trophy.
