I reloaded my 5dimes account and saw I was able to get a free "parlay Bonus" after I qualified.

Well...I finally got the bonus found 4 lines I liked today and all I got was a error message..."Line unavailable please try again"

I emailed CS and was told that I could only use lines -110. That's all...no other lines!!! That is a joke!!!

I managed to find some that were labled -110 and it still didn't accept the bet. I was then told to call the bet in...hell, by the time I called them in halftie would be over!!!

I didn't see the "-110 lines only" rule here...

The rules below this ad didn't say anything about the rule either....
Using Match-Play Bonus Money
Match-play bonus money is like a coupon you can use to place a wager. Use your match-play bonus to play your favorite Java Casino game, wager on horseracing, play Keno, or bet in the sportsbook. Earning your match-play bonus is easy, the moment you become eligible, you will be automatically notified. Your match-play bonus is added to your separate bonus account. You can then use the match-play bonus to WAGER ONLY. Any money you win by wagering your match-play bonus is instantly added to your account as real money!

Java Casino - While you are playing a Java casino game, you can tell when BONUS money is available by the flashing red button on the screen, which will read "PLAY BONUS". To see the amount of BONUS money available to you, just click the button. The credits displayed turns to red and shows the number of BONUS credits instead of your regular balance. If you wish to play your BONUS money, just continue the game normally. If you wish to play with real money, press the button again - it has turned gray and now reads "Cancel Bonus".

Blackjack/Other Java Casino Table Games - Suppose you are playing Blackjack, and you have clicked the red "PLAY BONUS" button and started the hand by clicking the "DEAL" button. You see the amount you have wagered deducted from your available BONUS dollars. The hand plays as usual. The end result of the hand is a win, loss or push, as shown on the Blackjack table. If you win, the amount shown on the screen is added to your regular balance. Your new balance appears on the screen. If you lose, your bonus dollars you wagered are gone. If you push, the amount of your total bet is restored to your available BONUS dollars, so you may play it again.

For Example:
If you bet $10 of BONUS money and receive a Blackjack, your winnings of $15 are added to your regular account.

BONUS money is played the same in Baccarat, Roulette and Pai Gow Poker as it is in Blackjack. If you win money on a hand or a spin, the winnings are added to your regular account as real money. If you neither win nor lose money on a hand or spin, the amount of your total wager is restored to your BONUS money.

Craps - BONUS play is not yet available in Craps.

Video Poker/Slots - Playing BONUS money in Video Poker, Slots and Keno is similar to playing BONUS money in the table games, with a couple of subtle differences. First, your available BONUS money is always shown in terms of credits, just as your regular balance is.

For Example:
If you have $10 in available BONUS money, and are playing a 25-cent Video Poker machine, the amount shown in red when you press the "PLAY BONUS" button is 40 credits.

The second difference is that the win amount shown in these games includes the amount of your bet. So if you bet 3 credits and the game shows your last win as 8, your net win equals 8 - 3 = 5. It is important to keep this in mind as you play BONUS money in these games, because it is your net win that you keep as real money, and not the total win shown on the screen.

Also, in Video Poker, Slots and Keno, a "win" equal to the amount of your bet is really neither a win nor a loss, because only your bet is returned to you. When you play BONUS money in these games, and the "last win" amount is equal to your bet, the amount of your bet is restored to your BONUS money, so you may play it again.

Lottery/Keno - Playing BONUS money in Lottery and Keno is exactly the same as Video Poker and Slots.

Sportsbooks - After making your selections, select "Bonus Balance" from the bet selections table. All wagers on the page will be played using your matchplay bonus funds.

Futures/Horses - While on the futures or horses wagering pages, you will see a link that says, "Use your bonus balance". If you want to make a wager with your bonus balance, simply click on this link. When you click on this link, there will be a link available which says, "Use your account balance". You can keep switch up and back by clicking on these links. Whichever was the last one clicked on will determine whether it is regular play, or bonus play.

If your wager is a winner, you will receive the winnings only.

For Example:
A winning wager of $11 bonus dollars to win $10 will add $10 to your account as real money.

Note: Match-play bonus money cannot be used to bet both sides of a game in the sportsbook. Any attempt to do so will result in forfeiture of the bonus funds wagered.



Bonus Qualifications
New Accounts - You must wager five times your deposit amount in order to earn your bonus. When opening up a new account, every single dollar you wager in the Java Casino (except Craps), the sportsbook, and lottery/keno goes toward earning your new account bonus. Play in the Bonus Casino does not qualify towards earning your match-play bonus. These casinos have their own independent promotions.

For Example:
To earn your bonus on a $100 deposit, simply wager $500 in the Java Casino, sportsbook, lottery/Keno, or a combination of all three as long as the total wagered amount equals $500.Bonuses earned after deposits and Sportsbook/Casino transfers are only valid if the amount deposited remains active in the account for 30 days. Winnings may be redeemed as desired.

Closing an account after bonus funds are earned from Blackjack play which only marginally exceed the required play for earning the bonus will result in an account being placed in the Unified Gaming negative database. Bonus-hunters are not welcome at 5Dimes Sportsbook and Casino.

Management reserves the right to confiscate the bonus of any player(s) deemed to be taking advantage of our program. This will only be applicable when the deposited funds, which have earned a bonus, are redeemed.

Existing Accounts - From time to time we offer existing customers bonuses. These bonuses may be good for use in all categories or for use in a specific category. For example, the bonus may be good for use in the sportsbook only, the Java casino only, or for lottery/keno only. If that is the case, the qualifications are the same as the New Account Bonus qualifications except that you must wager your deposit amount five times in the category that the bonus is good for. Match-play bonuses are not available for the Bonus Casino.

Sportsbook Only Example:
To earn a sportsbook only bonus, you must wager your deposit amount five times in the sportsbook.

Java Casino Only Example:
To earn a Java Casino only bonus, you must wager your deposit amount five times in the Java Casino. Play in other casinos or the sportsbook will not qualify towards earning the bonus.

Existing account bonuses earned after deposits and/or transfers with other companies are only valid if the amount deposited remains in the account for 30 days. Winnings may be redeemed as desired.

All existing customer bonuses are manually approved and entered into the system by the customer service department. You must contact 5Dimes via email or over the phone to have your bonus entered.

Once a redemption is placed, account bonuses will only be eligible on deposited funds which exceed the redemption amount(s).

If a customer receives a bonus, then proceeds to lose ALL of the funds deposited and the bonus, the customer will not be required to keep additional deposits in their account for a 30 day period from the point at which the bonus earning deposit was made. The requirements are considered met when an account balance and match-play balance both reach zero.



What a damn joke of a bonus. I'm going back to OLYMPIC...or any other book that wants $750 this week!!!!!

Quit whining, bonuses are useless if you could actually win with the money you deposit.

Not really whining at all. If I send my money to a book and it I am offered something then I should be able to use it...not asking too much. I didn't them jump through hoops for my deposit so don't make me do it for a bonus they are offering.

I just would like them to come out and state all the facts of the bonus up front and let me decide if I want to do it or not.

I am with 5dimes right now. I think I have met their wagering requirements. I will leave my money in for more than 30 days anyways since I won a fair bit with the bonus money!

As a side note, I placed a prop wager tonight and then came on this board. I then read in another thread about the guy who's prop was misinterpeted and graded a loss. This made me check mine and then contact 5dimes for clarification. It turns out I misinterpeted the prop as well! Luckily they cancelled the prop for me!
