Maxum,
Look I've never had a problem and the majority of people haven't obviously if its at the top of many lists. Its not for the professional player, but for a recreational one who bets at most three or four hundred for a side, its fine.

Why don't you email Buzzsaw with your problem, or did you already? He'd help you out if you have a legit problem, but I don't know you're whole story so its hard to say.

I always hesitate to say anything negative about VIP since it is highly rated almost everywhere, since doing so may hurt my reputation as a poster.
However, I can confirm maximumv's experience as similar thing happened to me last year.

I was a casino player then and VIP was the first place I tried sport bettings.
VIP offered D/B/WR = 200/200/6000 sign up deal.
I signed up, played some BJ.
Curious about sport betting, I start to bet on MLB lines. At that time, I did not know anything about the sport betting. I naively thinking that underdogs gave me better deals because the win amount was bigger.
My beginner's luck was so good that my balance of $400 quickly became $6000+.
Then they locked my account even though I had not requested any payout yet, and threatened to send my deposit $400, not the balance of $6000, back for the "fraud" that I played at its sportbook. They said I have to wager $6000 in casino, which the rule did not say.
I told the manager the following:
1) In the rule, it did not say I could not play at sportbook.
If you wanted me wager $6000 in casino,
then do not count sports wagering towards the wagering requirment;
2) I did not make withdraw and was in the process of finishing the wagering requiment in casino. Thus, I did not violate the rule on wagering requirment.

A few days later, VIP unblocked my account after the manager met with his supervisor and reconsidered my case.

It was possible that I would ask for a payout after the total wagering in sportbook and casino exceeded $6000 since its rules did not specificly say to wager in casino only.
Had VIP waited until that occured, I would have been in a weaker position.

The incredible beginner's luck arouse my interest in sport bettings, while the experience at VIP reminds me that things can go wrong even at the top rated book.
One has to not only read their rules, but also GUESS what is the manager's real intention when he wrote the rules.
I have played at some other books since then, there is only one book offered me a worse experience than VIP.

VIP will lock you out of your account or just give you the boot completely if you tend on taking too much cash from them. I was using them for the Final Four this year, was doing fairly well and made a withdrawl with no problem. It was only a few hundred buck and it was going back to my credit card. The next withdrawl I tried to make to Neteller took days for them to complete and they got the full bore of my felling about that in an e-mail. I like to use Gameday which is located 1 floor below VIP in the Bin Boni business centre and they put my Neteller withdrawls through in about 5 minutes and I asked why VIP can't be so quick. The next time I checked my account it had been locked and was requested to call in, so I did and a manager said " We don't take kindly to that kind of communication and are going to close your account." Well I wonder if he ever gets pissed off when someone does not get ontop of shit, especially when it comes to CASH. Good bye VIP. "DON'T **** WITH MY CASH AND I WON'T **** WITH YOUR MIND."

I have always noticed negative remarks about books are ALWAYS ABOUT FREE MONEY!! You never here or very rarely here of a legit case of a book playing games. It is always the guys getting free shots at the book with bonus money and then twisting their stories around because of their foul play and unable to cash in on their scam.

By reading your post people might get the impression it is wrong to discuss gambling topics in this forum; when the fact of the matter is, gambling related topics are the very reason why this forum is here.

Come again?

I agree with you about VIP being a good book, so let them speak up if they consider it's necessary.

Seawave and nexton0038:

Thanks for your input guys. If your beef is legitimate and you guys are not only ghosting, then your posts are exactly what we all need to know in here. This type of posts are not only a heads-up to the players, they also constitute premium feedback for a book that's willing to improve.

Peace out people.

Walk of Life there is always clauses in these posters cries. They are never clean period and I do not believe most claims made by players.

Lets face it Gamblers are not the best people in the world when talking about honesty and integrity.

Do you know why books hassle you over free money?

It's basically economic class contradictions. You and the book are essentially 'at war' with one another. If the book can use ANY excuse to win the 'war' with you, it will usually be free money. It gives them an out to say you abused them and for them to steal your money. The book doesn't really want you to win, they don't even want you to play. If there was a way for them to steal your money and noone would know they all would do it. The only reason they don't is simple economics. It would hurt them in the long run. These bookies don't care about you or your babys momma jjgold. They all want to be watching horse racing in texas f'in their 29 year old wife.

The book is looking to screw you anyway they can.
The Square is just looking to win the bet,
The Sharp is looking to screw the book robin hood style.

You say all gamblers are are degenerates and under your logic no gambler complaint should be posted, ever.

Wow Areeff, those are some harsh statements right there. And I think you've got it all wrong. In this industry, as in any other, there are gentlemen and there are scumbags on both sides of the fence. The right way to conduct any form of business must include honesty and fair play, from there on, TRUST should arise.

I sided with you on your little incident with betCBS, I'm glad you got paid. But believe me, I'm sure not too many people would book your action if they knew who you are. Especially after this beauty you just posted.

Maybe you were fully aware you were taking a shot with that tennis match-up. Again, gladly it all worked out for you this time.

Do you think you will have the same credibility when the next shop gets pounded by you on a bad line?

After reading what you just posted, I'm sure you would try to capitalize on somebody else's mistake in a drop of a dime. That's not being a gentleman Areeff. But who says you have to be righteous to make money. Right?

Most claims by players about pay problems are bogus.

Most Gamblers are compulsive liars and good ones at that. They do anything to get out of hole.
