I have not been on this board for long but I found that many people received help here when it comes to disputes. Now it's my turn. Hope this post will serve two purposes. 1. VIPSports acknowledge their mistakes and improve their poor customer service. 2. Let the forum members realize this is a poor book and think twice when signing up with this book.

Ok, here is my story. I signed up with them and was expecting will receive a 10% bonus as mentioned on their websit. After I made the deposit and called for my bonus. I was told they will not honour the bonus as I used to be a customer of Gameday two years ago. Therefore, I was told I will not receive any sign up bonus since they are related. This is BS. Nowhere on their website has mentioned this, how are we suppose to know they are related. This is false advertising. I had to escalated twice before they honor my bonus.

I deceided to make a withdraw on December 3rd by direct Check. I realized it's Friday and the transaction will not be processed until Monday. I called on Tuesday to check the transaction. I was advised there is a mistake with the routing number which is true. I called them back later on the same day to provide the correct number. I then called Wednesday to check the withdrawl, I was advised the routing number is incorrect. I then confirmed with the bank twice to ensure there is no issue with the routing number. I spoke to the book again on Thursday and was told everything should be fine. I followed up with the Book on Friday and once again I was advised the routing number is incorrect. I then escalated the issue to the supervisor Lilian and she found out it was their mistake as they used the wrong internal number. As a result the transaction did not go through. She ensure me everything should be fine on Monday morning. I called Monday morning to check the withdrawl. I was told the transaction should go through in an hour but the funds should appear in my bank account within 48 hours. I called two hours later and they said they will not process the fund for another 2 hours. I then called again at 6pm to check if the transaction is fine. This time I was speaking to a person named Edwin. This guy has no customer service skill at all, he didn't express desire to assist my issue and told me to call back the next day as it's late in a rude manner. I was very upset and asked him did anyone try to process the transaction today. He then looked at my account and told me someone did try but entered the wrong code, should be "ON" but they entered "0N" instead. He told me it's 6pm, he can not do anything about it in a very rude manner again without apologize for the on-going mistakes they have made. I requested to speak with a supervisor and he told me that he is the highest I can go, he's in charge of the place. I wish the owner is reading this post and give him a lesson of customer service. I will try again tomorrow and see what kind of new excuses they will give to me. Stay tuned.

VIP is a strong book period

These disputes are never clean and only involve one hit posters never to be seen again

JJ, you are right, they might be a strong book. However, their customer service is lousy period. I called at noon and I was told to call back in 4 hours as they have yet processed the transaction for me. I finally spoke to Lilian and she advised me she will call me back in a few hours to confirm if the transaction has gone through, lets see what happen. IMO, Lilian is the only one provides good customer service at the book among all the people I spoke with, nice phone manner. In aditional, she acknowledged their mistakes and offered me some compensation. Hope she will be the last one I have to speak with in regards to my issue with them.

Regarding the first issue about your bonus, VIP changed thier policy maybe as much as a year ago. It used to be they would allow you to open an account at each one of thier books and get a sign up bonus at each. They no longer allow this. I do agree, that they should state this poilcy in thier rules. But I do imagine that most people who know about gameday and vip, know that they are under the same umbrella. ANd if the 10% bonus is important to you, the thing to do is open an account, and before depositing funds ask if you are eligible. If they say yes, keep the person on the lien, and deposit the funds, then ask the person to add the bonus.

I don't know why your withdrawal experience was so miserable, but unless you had to withdraw by direct bank transfer, my advice would be to withdraw to your neteller account, whihc is fast and easy. And from neteller to your bank account, also fast and easy. That way you will have your money in 24 hours

VIP/Gameday are an extremely weak book when it comes to handling bettors that have a clue.

So far so good. Lilian did call me this afternoon to advise the transaction did go through and funds should be in my account within 48 hours. Way to go Lilian!!!!! You ROCK!!!!!!!!! VIP really needs someone like her, may be she should be the manager of their quality department if they have one. I wonder how many Books out there have a quality Department so that they can listen to their CSRs' calls to ensure top notch customer service is provided to their customers. I found most books in the U.K. and Australia do provide excellent customer service with nice phone manner. I think the books in the Carribeans and Central America should focus on their customer service as this will help them to maintain their clients and attract new customers. my 2 cents.

VIP group also owns Fairdeal and Five card charlie now. I have more experience with these books than any other out there on many different lvels and I can say one thing for sure is that they always pay and try to make things right for the customer.
