5Dimes has made a sudden and surprising announcement that it will be suspending its services for US players. On September 21st, 2020 at midnight, American players will no longer be able to access the betting markets on the site.

As 5Dimes is one of the most popular US-facing sportsbooks out there today, the news has come as a shock to punters across the country. Fortunately, 5Dimes has stated that it will relaunch its “new operations with a fresh start” – although there is no word on when exactly that will happen.

A New Business Venture 5Dimes has stated that it will be suspending its US operations, as the company aims to take on “a new business venture”. The company’s announcement to its customers reads:

“With the evolving legal landscape in the United States, we want to take advantage of the opportunity to offer an improved online sports betting experience. In order to do this, we need to suspend temporarily our service of the US market so that we can launch our new operations with a fresh start”.

What this likely means is that 5Dimes will no longer be operating from offshore and has plans to bring its operations into the legal American sportsbetting market.

I went to my offshore bet site and found it had been suspended. Sometimes I like to play there, other times I like to check and see how people who put money where their mouth is are betting on political outcomes.

Now I'm without this outlet. Don't know what this portends. This is/was a Costa Rican outlet and I've really had a long run with them, very enjoyable. This is too bad.

What is there to bet on if all they do is whine and talk about politics all day?

“What is there to bet on...”

Blackjack (etc.). Never saw a word of politics or whining at 5Dimes.
