I called customer service and asked a bunch of question and here's what I have found out:
1. GTBets bought the software, hardware, and platform from VIP.com....that is why their website looks so similar.
2. A large number of e former VIP employees and managers joined/were brought into GTBets.
3. This is a new company with independent financial backing based in the Carribean.
4. Offering 50% signup bonus on deposits...same rewards system put in place
5. Offers credit card deposits
6. Can transfer former VIP customer account info & player status into GTBets account
7. I am giving them a shot, made $300 deposit via CC with no problem and instantly given 50% bonus into account(I believe 7x rollover).
Will keep you all posted....
