Yup, that's it then...Official as of a few minutes ago. Used to use them almost as much as Pinnacle several years back, and would never have imagined this scenario back then.....

Talk about an old favorite pair of shoes

I almost cried. I will miss them. When they stop taking US costumers( I was grandfathered in) I thought they would be around for a longer time than this. They were a great sportsbook with no complaints from me. Excellant costumer service and always paid quickly.

always liked that shop till they gave me the boot. loved the free points, had them on different teams at all 3 shops.

Do you mean that they wont accept usa players again,or it s closed for everyone?

Chopsticks · 08-01-11, 09:09 AM

Closed for everyone now.

Free points were great. Also gave a free 1/2 point on your favorite teams one year, maybe 2 years. Paid very fast. Lines up early and they didn't update them until 9:00 or so in the morning. Gave great parlay odds one day of the week, not a good idea if you were them and accepting correlated parlays. Great costumer service as I said. Almost gave me the boot last year but talked them into leting me stay there.

They will be missed.

Good book. They will be missed.

2 years ago they gave a full free point in your favor on 2 NBA teams of your choice for every game the entire season. That was awesome.

darrell74 · 08-02-11, 04:57 AM

So what's the story with them, why did they go down?

Stumpage · 08-02-11, 07:50 AM

Guy stopped me yesterday at Tim Hortons as I was wandering around wearing my VIPSports "wanna bet?" shirt...Asked if they were a good site and such.

I had to wipe away a tear.....

Received my final cashout check from them yesterday. RIP

patswin · 08-02-11, 12:56 PM

the free points was a great promo, had accounts at all 3 shops with different teams in the same division. In football when 2 of them played head to head 2x per year you got an automatic middle on each game. Baskets same thing. I took teams at each book. Made some nice scores before they figured it out and closed my accounts at all 3 shops. But they let me cash out my balances and was paid timely so I can't complain. Hated their software though

Thats really sad, i just through to try it.

schlichting · 08-02-11, 07:55 PM

SamChu · 08-02-11, 08:35 PM

Going to miss the viprewards program

MB · 08-02-11, 08:36 PM

Going to miss them. Never had a problem there. I even received my last payout yesterday. Hope the check clears...
