    VIP Sports

    Why does SBR claim VIP Sports isn't available for US and Canada residents? I'm in the US and have an account with VIP.

    I believe VIP no longer accepts NEW players from thew US, not sure about Canada. If you have an existing account though, you're good to go..

    I should say, that's how I believed it to be last year, not sure if anything's changed recently..

    they are offering me 100% bonus up to $1000. Anyone playing there currently? How are their payouts?

    Just got paid ** 3 weeks ago, they are. They are still a top notch book, they will limit you if you win to much at one sport though

    they know your deposit/withdrawal history, so if your withdrawals exceed your deposits i don't think you'll get the bonus.

    got the same email. you need points(5points per $10 wagered) to do roll. comes out to 8xx roll. for 100% cash bonus. at a book that pays. great deal. will be depositing very soon. if you have not been to the site in awhile i believe you will get a free t-shirt also.

    if you are up no bonus. except on special promotions offered by email. i am up and my last 2 transactions were withdrawls, but every nfl season i get a great offer and the bonus is always good for everyone who gets the email.

    this is one of the best if not the best reload out there for football. 100% free cash -- up to $1000 -- up to 2 separate deposits before 9/29-- with only a 8xx roll.

    Last couple of seasons they gave $100 free in my account. Last year I got it twice. Gonna wait to see if they do that again first. Because I know if I deposit first I won't get it.

    I was not playing with them as their deposit options are very limited. That said, when they offered me a free $1000, I dusted off my trusty BMW VC (drawn on a European bank) and deposited. These guys have always paid for 10+ years. $1000 free on $1000 i a nice gift plus they are sending me a tshirt!

    barely played there they have sent me everything from poker chips to spatulas for the grill to folding beach chairs. I wonder what they wouldve done if I actually gambled a lot there.

    LOL, whilst I've sacked many books myself, VIP is the only book which has ever kicked me out - presumably because I was an 'unprofitable' account but they never gave me a reason - in fact wouldn't even talk to me about it - just sent my funds to Neteller

    yeah, a "great" book!

    Nonsense - you don't need US players to be top-notch

    Pinnacle and Betfair are the best in the world

    Yeah, this bonus might be too good to pass up. Might have to reup there for some occasional action.

    Based on my experience you wouldn't be so "fine"
    You must have been losing or you wouldn't still be there

    ive been a client with them before 06..and i remember receiving an email from them saying they no longer host US players...so i stopped using them...but the funny thing was they still send me promotional items all the time...i would get things like VIP sports bags, folding chairs...etc.

    My only gripe with VIP/BGD is there delay in posting lines. I've got three books and like to comparison shop, but by the time you wait for VIP to post lines, lines at other books may have already moved in a negative direction.
