SBR review: 3Vig

3Vig (SBR rating F-) closed; customer support off-line
Visitors of 3Vig.com see the message: 3Vig.com has ceased operations. Owed players report no communication with the sportsbook.

Two 3Vig players report being locked out of funded accounts. The sportsbook's live chat is no longer online and email is unresponsive. 3Vig, which admitted to players it did not have their funds, is still accepting new players and offering a 30% signup bonus. Upon logging in, players are prompted to use the banking page to execute a Neteller deposit.

The sportsbook, which in the past two weeks has locked players out of accounts and canceled pending withdawals, sent the following email stating they will close and can not pay.

help@3vig.com: We are in the process of preparing an email to all our customers letting them know that we will be closing our doors. Our goal over the next 60 days will be to try and recover all our funds owed to us from our funding options that we have used. I am not sure how successful we will be, but our goal is to get customers like you 100% of the money owed. You have been a loyal and good customer, and you are for sure at the top of our list.

I know this is not good news, but the change in U.S. legislation and the problems with our funding options have put us in this situation. Unlike most places that close their doors and customers get nothing, our customers will get something, hopefully their entire balance.

3VIG (SBR rating D-) players report slow-pays. The reduced juice sportsbook discontinued service to non-U.S. players months ago but blames difficulties with Neteller, the books only banking option, for current payout issues. According to emails sent to customers, 3Vig does not expect to be able to issue withdrawals for at least one week.
