Dr. 5 Dimes Review

5 Dimes is certainly not a stranger to the online gaming industry as they have earned a solid reputation for being a trustworthy book. 5 Dimes is also known for their extensive selection of betting odds. Since their inception in 1991, they have been dedicated to providing their players with a solid & reliable gaming experience.

As far as the 5 Dimes Pay Per Head division goes, overall I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be based on all of their experience.

First of all, their Pay Per Head Service is not advertised on their website. All players & agents must use the main 5 Dimes web site to access their accounts. Therefore your players are able to view all of their (post up) promotional offers each time they log in. In my opinion, it is tough enough in this business to keep a player but to constantly subject them to these promotional offers might lure them away or cause a problem.

On five separate occasions when asked about their (hidden) Pay Per Head Service, the 5 Dimes’ Customer Service Reps really weren’t much help. A few of their reps didn’t even know the Pay Per Head option existed and I had to be transferred to a supervisor! This difficulty in finding or receiving any Pay Per Head information makes me believe that 5 Dimes doesn’t put much effort into this division of their operation.

As far as Pay Per Head fees go, 5 Dimes offers a fair price at $25 for the phone service and their internet service rate is right in line with the industry average at $15. Their Casino rate is a bit higher than average at 10%. The Racebook on the other hand is a different story all together. 5 Dimes uses ASI software which doesn’t have a horse racing program, so they use a separate platform. 5 Dimes then passes this cost to the agent, so what is normally an industry freebie for the agent, is an extra $25 per week!

Dr´s overall conclusion

5 Dimes is a solid service with a stellar reputation, but the lack of PPH information, internal communication, the $25 extra charge for the horses, and no agent promotions puts them at the back of the pack regarding the top Pay Per Head Options.
