    does anyone know what is going on with BetVip

    the 1 hour maintenance has been going on for almost twelve hours now

    I've read something about a buy-out deal rumor on an other forum.

    There is no response coming from their support

    Thanks Raiders.

    That still does not explain the extended downtime or the no-response to SBR enquiries.

    anonibet no longer offers the 10 % bonus, I don't know if that is a sign that they have a large customer base. I hope it is not they are having troubles. Got paid on saturday and it was within 2 hours.

    I guess I'll have to start writing a complaint, after reading this on another forum

    [quote author=tonyq link=topic=646810.msg11753105#msg1175310 5 date=1435663398]
    Bad news.....Daniel Schwartzkopff has deleted his Twitter account in the last few days.
    That tells a story.....he knew that after today I would be onto him again (see screenshot of my exchange with him earlier in this thread)
    The 'management buyout' that took place hours before the site folded saw him hand the reins over to co founder Guy Everitt.
    Up until a week ago, Guy used to respond to my communications.....not any more.


    These are the South African dudes that appear to have run off with our bitcoin:

    last minute update from the website




    https://www.betvip.com


    "Site Message

    The shareholders of BetVIP have decided to suspend trading of the business as of Friday 12th June. Due to the early nature of Bitcoin sports betting and an increasingly restrictive legal environment, BetVIP was unable to reach a viable revenue in order to make it feasible to continue operating the business going forward.


    BetVIP 30 June 2015 Update:


    Cloudbet has acquired BetVIP's client account database and player liabilities

    All withdrawals requested will be honoured by Cloudbet as of immediate effect via Cloudbet login.
    A new Cloudbet account has already been created, with the same email address as your BetVIP account. Simply browse to Cloudbet.com and use the "Forgot your password?" link to set your password for the first time. It will send you an email with instructions on how to reset your password.
    Log in to your Cloudbet account, click Withdraw, and input your bitcoin address and withdrawal amount. That's all there is to it.
    There are no requirements at all. You are free to withdraw immediately.
    Please see https://cloudbet.com/en/betvip_faq for any further assistance in this regard.
    Please contact us at info@betvip.com before 31 July 2015 if you believe your Cloudbet account was credited with an incorrect amount, or if you would like your bet history.

    This move benefits BetVIP customers, and the entire betting community. BetVIP customers can access their accounts and funds immediately, and gain access to all of Cloudbet's exciting casino and sports betting services. In particular - for the first time ever - BetVIP customers can play casino games with huge jackpots, and bet on sports and casino games from their mobile phones Cloudbet's industry-leading mobile service.


    Deposits and withdrawals at Cloudbet are instant, all player funds are stored in cold storage, and players can secure their accounts with 2-factor "

    I guess problem is solved, a little communication with the customers could have lessened a lot of stress
