VIP Sportsbook Gets A+ Rating from Sportsbook Review. Does anyone disagree.

Thanks

Just posted yesterday asking about this shop. I heard it is an excellent shop. I just never hear of anyone here using them. I'm going to give them a try this football season.

Don't win too much Harrington - you'll be chopped down to $50 limits or so ...

aside from that they are a GREAT shop - they pay FAST, have opinionated lines & nice CS.

harrington · Jul 19, 2003

That's what I wanted to know lander. If I get hot I don't want to get my limits cut.

VIP SPORTSBOOK stole almost 2 dimes from me! Here is the situation

They sent me an email - some spam bs about a 100% bonus up the 200.00. I signed up and got it and put the 400.00 on a NETS ML +170 and the kings +6(spread) parlay and won a couple dimes. I played some in the casino as well. I ended up cashing out 2250 or so. I won in both the book and the casino. They said the bonus was intended for the casino only but the live chat said i could use it in both.

The next morning they changed their entire web page saying you couldn't use the bonus in the sportsbook (i had(not sure if i still have) screenshots proving this because i had luckily had a cache history of the old terms by accident).

So they refunded 600 or 650 to me i'll have to recheck my numbers and confiscated the other 1600 saying the bonus of 200 was not allowed for the book.

This is ridiculous and complete theft. I was told i could do it and how was i supposed to know when they spammed me with this crap.

COMPLETE TOTAL THIEVES I WOULD STAY AWAY. FAR AWAY

Now I know I'm staying away.

I wrote to Sportsbook review i did not even know such a site existed.

Maxi,

c'mon dude, 100% bonuses almost ALWAYS apply to casino action. On a rare occasion, usually during fotball season, promos are offered that reach 50%.

Anyone who gets a 100% ofer, the smart thing to do is CALL the book and verify the info. Did you do that?

darwinmobley · Jul 19, 2003

We've all been in this business long enough to know that bonuses are ALWAYS in the casino and very rarely in the sportsbook. Call the book to find out the rules BEFORE depositing, I've stated this before and here again. Ignorance of the laws (or rules in this case) is not an excuse.

This is a good place to play for the recreational player.If you bet a game at VIP and the line moves your way you'll be thrown out or your limits will be cut.Same with Beverly Hills Bookie.They do pay fast from what I understand.

I doubt VIP would ever steal - they are a very HONEST book, but in this posters defense let's consider this -

SunnySports has a 100% deposit bonus - they are RUN by VIP

It's not beyond the realm of possiblity that this guy simply didn't know

sportsbook review is a dwelling place for bonus whores, i have never trusted them. They blacklist books at the drop of a hat and then "reinstate" them the moment they offer larger bonuses.

This type of transparent bad mouthing smells of an inside job. This place is bent on painting some in a good light, others in the dark recesses of their blacklist.

What a joke.

VaultedTreehouse · Jul 19, 2003

Never had a problem with them. Won a lot. No limits cut. I don't get you people, no reason to trash them at all. Other than an initial sign up bonus, there is no reason to take a measly 5% reup bonus from anywhere anytime. Then you are locked into a rollover. Why do that? Hit big and leave, bonuses screw things up....Again, VIP is classy, have dealt with Alistair and other management and they are always extrememly fair...I have no clue about 100% bonuses from anywhere and wouldn't ever do such a stupid thing....Again initial bonuses are fair to get you in the door, after that, forget it, come back if you like the place, not b/c of a bonus.

maximumv · Jul 19, 2003

I said above i went to live chat and asked if i could use the bonus in the book.

How is that any different than calling? It's a measely 200.00.

Ignorance of not reading my post is not an excuse.

JohnnyDetroit · Jul 20, 2003

Yeah, great shop if you like getting fed different lines after a day or so.

Even better when they cut your limits.

I would rather have someone like SIA say "get out" than do it the wormy way and give you super low limits and make you leave.

ChuckSims · Jul 20, 2003

VIP is a shit place. Not a real sportsbook. They want you to send them money and expect you to lose it. Win, and you got problems. Avoid these bums.

BallRash · Jul 20, 2003

yeah it's one thing to ask if a bonus could be used in the book and a totally different thing to ask if the specific 100% matchplay bonus could be used in the book

Fishhead · Jul 20, 2003

I like them in the 3 months I have been with them. Have not made a withdrawl yet. To early to judge.

??????????

Are you talking about the same SportsBookReview as everyone else is ??

maximumv · Jul 20, 2003

Anyways the point is stealing my entire winnings on the winnings parlay was NOT FAIR. If they wanted to be fair they would've paid me the winnings on my 200.00 deposit on the parlay at minimum which they didnt they just paid me for my blackjack wins so they are not 100% thieves just 99.44%
