It is 22:30 edst in Ohio. Tried for 20 minutes to log on to 5DGP site. It simply would not connect. Went to the Sports Book section of website and chatted with CS agent.

She said they were down for scheduled maintenance. I asker her about the $500 Sunday weekly freeroll. She just repeated scheduled maintenance. After some more pressure she admitted the "scheduled maintenance" could be several hours and she apologized for the inconvenience. Tried to explain that scheduled means we get warned and that since we were not and many of us were signed up for this tourney then it could not possibly be "scheduled".

Could not get any more out of her.

Anyone else have this experience as well???

:( :confused: :mad: :hmmmm2: :damnmate: :eek:

God bless.

This is the type of problem most face when dealing with a smaller, less reputable poker site.
Be lucky you just lost out on a freeroll, others will most likely lose money on real money games.
There are just too many stories out there on fly by night poker rooms that take your money and suddenly suffer supposed maintenance issues then end up closing down.

Like poor folks everywhere, most of us have limited choices. I was not intentionally complaining so much. Just reporting a current personal experience and wondering if anyone else had noticed the same thing.

My choices are limited by a government that serves itself rather than the people. Greed, control and power fuel the governmental engines of our world. Would be nice if we all experienced true free will and choice.

Just not going to happen in our lifetime for 95% of us. Haters, the rich and politicians will see to that.

God bless, shine. We will just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Until we can not.

I did not understand how you can get money from there. It seems that the only working method is bitcoin.

On the site write that you can use the visa card for the deposit. It's true? What deposit methods are there in this room?Bitcoin does not suit me.

I use bitcoin method but have not deposited on any but ignition Poker. The other 3 including 5DGP I simply use freerolls to build a bankroll.

If and when I build something out of nothing and need to withdraw funds, I will establish a method by making a minimum deposit. Shaky times my friends. Still a lot of hate coming from governments who are not controlling and getting their cut from our poor efforts to simply play a game for money.

No world government existing today is beyond murdering men, women and children if a rival has something they want. Makes me wonder how long the world of bitcoin and others will last?

It cannot be controlled. At some point it, too, must be killed. We can only play one game at a time one day at a time.

Like the good book says, we only have today, tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us.

God bless one and all.

Grand Poker still down

Like others here I could not login to GP on Sunday evenng or any time on Monday (10/23/17). I hope they are just having network issues that will soon be fixed. Grand Poker is affiliated with 5 Dimes, and I have played at 5 Dimes for over 20 years. I would be surprised if the Grand Poker site just suddenly shut down and absconded with player funds. I would think 5 Dimes would make good on any player balances if Grand Poker closes down.

Tue 24 Oct 2017 09:00am edst 5Dimes Grand Poker still DOWN

My research has shown they were under federal investigation for money laundering in March 2016.

I suspect this is why they are down. Since they don't have the balls or respect for their customers to tell US the truth I would tell those with money there to prepare for more online poker ugliness.

Google them in the "news" section and you will find some articles of the investigation.

This is another good reason to build bankrolls from freerolls. Losing always hurts but not nearly as much if it was not deposited funds.

:confused: :mad: :( :eek: :cool:

God bless...

still can't connect

It is just about 1pm EST on Tuesday October 24th, and I am still not able to log on to 5dimes GrandPoker. This has been going on for me starting on Sunday night (october 22). I have been in touch with live chat 2 times. Both times they said it is due to maintenance. I have over 2K in my poker account that I can NOT access. I asked chat if my money was safe and she said yes. We shall see. I am nervous.

With Marijuana becoming legal next year, and we have access to most online poker sites, I think it's about time you move north before trump decides to put a wall up between canada and the US.
We Canadians welcome all who want to live in our country.:D

All is good for the moment. I played 2 small GTD tourneys on 5DGP on Thu (yesterday). Everything was working smoothly again.

Biggest crowds were 20. So it will be slow going until the word gets around they are back up.

God bless.

Here we go again. Sunday, Nov 5, 2017 21:40 and I have been trying for 15 minutes to log on to 5DGP. No luck. Their equipment is not capable of handling the traffic. 2nd Sunday in 3 weeks where they shut down just before their $500 freeroll.

Will they even acknowledge us, the customers? No. BS. IMHO, they should be ignored and not used for any poker. See how they like being ignored.

I tweeted. Checked the site status. They are completely offline from the American side.

God bless. :cool:

They told me they could not make the transfer from poker to sportsbook. I am feeling the same about my 80 dollars. I need that for bills in a house with 4 children. I hope they can make the transfer later. Keep in contact with me here, and we can parlay any intelligence we recieve from them, lol.

Not a fan, and if you dont make deposits or do a lot of sports betting then they probably dont want your business. Also be careful if you accept a sports betting promotion they wont let you withdraw poker funds until you clear the sports betting rollover.
