    These are just small books running out of money, hence why they are closing. No need to panic about other books.. They come and go.. it's been like this for years.

    Good at least they're shutting down in an organised manner though, rather than trying to string out a dying business and ending up stiffing everyone.

    I noticed the Withdrawal fees went from $40 (Which its always been) on Bank wires and Fedex. Then Last week they $60. I just checked now and its $45. I do not see the wire option anymore, only Fedex. For US players at least.

    Played with them for a long time and last year was the first time they said they no longer wanted my business anymore but talked them into letting me play before last years NFL season. Always paid promptly and very good custumer service, sad to see them go.

    That is a great point, but i see it as people who have enough money to retire getting out before something bad comes their way.

    I just went to vip.com and saw this news! So sad to see. I have been with them for years. I was wondering where all vip.com advertisements were at. They were my number 1 book. Who should be my number 1 now? I was thinking betdsi, they seem really good. Any suggestions?

    I tried to cash out when VIP announced the closing. After FAXing my driver'ls license and a utility bill, they finally sent me my money, minus a $45 courier charge. Guess what, the check was returned for Insufficient Funds. Does anyone have any idea how I might resolve this?

    i recieved my payment in 10 days here in the USA. I was with them 11 years and personally loved them. Never any problems. They had a great rewards program and also sent you free stuff to beging most of the sports seasons. For me there is nothing comparable out there. They even gave me free money for my birthday with no roll over , cash not free play crap

    Yep--no reply. The check came from an Andion Business Solutions out of Miami. I will call them on Monday. I suspect I have been scammed.

    You know...you might just might be posting too much information You should probably talk with SBR privately and see if they have any suggestions
