By David Parker
Daniel Schwartzkopff, founder of BetVIP, the world’s first licensed bitcoin sportsbook and casino has concluded a management buy-out deal for the company. Schwartzkopff said BetVIP’s aim was to bring “transparency and legitimacy” to a sector that had been “marred with controversy and fly-by-night operators”. He added that BetVIP provided this, and more, with a public […]

Thanks Raiders.

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

All withdrawal requests will be honoured and paid. Please lodge your request to info@betvip.com with subject ‘Withdrawal Request’. Please lodge your withdrawal request before 28 of June 2015 and any payments will be authorised at the latest by 30 June 2015.

[thespeculator]

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:
