another sad day for sportsbetting - VIP, Nine, Gameday closing down for good

[jjgold]

They have not been a big player in years in usa market

not really shocking

[Nikfrio]

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.

[Big_Cheese]

Progressive

Im sure they are hoping nobody hits the 1.5 million progressive slot in the Casino before August 1st..

[HeeeHAWWWW]

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.

[Big_Cheese]

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.

[djefferis]

no loss..booted me many years ago...ultimate in square shops

my008859: where will you work, can you collect unemployment insurance where you live?
Philip: Is there anything else I can help you with?
my008859: apparently not

[bobbywaves]

Glad you enjoyed that.

Whenever you see a reference number start with LTK, that is sportsbook.com family.

[dogman]

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.

Nope.. it just means that they use the same live chat program.

VIP has never had anyting to do with Sportsbook. Nice try, though.

[Mr. Peepers]

never used this book but have heard some good things...sad day

[MB]

Has anyone received a payout from them since the announcement?

[dogman]

Got mine in 2 days. Really sad to see them go.

[wtt0315]

[BarkingToad]

A few days ago who would've thought VIP would outlast betjamaica?

[thisisit]

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.

[mintpicks79]

I was a VIP player who got limits cut. No hard feelings though sad to see them go.

[wisky]

This book paid winnings fast sucks to see them go down.

[Sledge187]

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?

[marcojuiceman]

i just got done talking to the operator on vip.com and they told me that they will be shutdown at the end of the month due to payment problems another sad day for sports betting.

[marcojuiceman]

there are more on the way look out for the ones that offer high bonuses ?

[757sFinest]

times are getting tough

[ringer53]

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?

Did you email them ?

[lentel]

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

[lentel]

Has anyone received a payout from them since the announcement?

yes see just above

[ringer53]

Did you email them ?

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
