Online sportsbook 5Dimes is cutting off its US customers for as yet unexplained reasons while hinting at vague plans to resume US-facing activity at some undisclosed future date.
On Monday, 5Dimes’ US-based customers reported receiving “immediate action required” emails from the Costa Rica-based bookmaker alerting them that the company needed to “temporarily suspend our service of the U.S. market so that we can launch our operations with a fresh start.”
The company said it was “embarking on a new business venture” due to the “evolving legal landscape” in the US. 5Dimes says it wants to “take advantage of the opportunity to offer an improved online sports betting experience to our many U.S. customers” but this will allegedly require the aforementioned suspension of activity.
The 5Dimes website contains additional information stating that it “will be back, better than ever and hopefully very soon” for its US customers. 5Dimes claims to be “relaunching the company into a better one for our customers, and to do it properly, we need to suspend service to U.S. customers, but it is only temporary.”
