    VIP and the related brands closed on the 1st this month. It was announced a couple of weeks in advance and I am pretty sure they sent out e-mails. Personally I was paid about $6000 same day upon requesting the money. SBR is currently trying to get information about what happens to pending future wagers and what happens for people who did not have a chance to cash out prior to the august 1st closure.

    I have no idea what stuff you bet on but out of those three I would want to go with 5Dimes. Loose Lines is related to Jazz and they have announced that there will be no payouts at all until next month. There are lots of reports out there from players who say that they owe them significant amounts of money, and have done so for a while.

    DSI is probably a decent option also but if you want to bet on baseballl then 5Dimes is a must have.

    In case you missed it.... TheGreek and BetJam has also shut down and sent their players to Heritage. If you had an account with any of, then you should be able to play with Heritage now if you wish.

    Just found out two days ago that VIP.com is now closed. I hadn't visited VIP.com since the NHL playoffs (a few months ago). I sent them an email requesting payout of my $190.00 I had in the account on august 5th and have yet to hear back from them. I'm further frustrated in that I never received an email of any kind in the last few months warning me of the upcoming closure. I have heard the cut off being $250 for payout but then read elsewhere that that figure was lowered to $150. Anyone heard anything? Where should I go from here?

    They should still pay the man his $190 though it can't cost that much to send a check.
