VIPSports Professional Review |
| By David Kukoff |
|
VIP Sports - First Impression
The VIPSports sportsbook, while simplistically designed, places a premium on information dissemination. VIPSports users can take advantage of a comprehensive wagering guide and an FAQ section related to wagering with offshore sportsbooks. Users are given accurate responses to questions such as the legality and possible ramifications of dealing with an offshore book while located in the US, the risks of providing payment and personal information and the accessibility and compliance restrictions of the website. Rather than shy away from some of the legal challenges posed by Internet gambling, VIPSports provides forthright answers, allowing users to assess the facts.
VIP Sports Customer Service
For those seeking additional information or wanting to speak to a representative directly, VIPSports has a 24-hour customer support line. VIPSports' customer service representatives, while businesslike and clearly focused on limiting call-times, are very knowledgeable with regards to both sports betting and technical compatibility questions.
Getting Started at VIP Sports
VIPSports' sports betting account creation is an automated process, but those looking to test drive the system have the option of creating a demo account. After filling out a simple form and providing a valid email address, VIPSports users are sent a confirmation message that allows them to log-in and experience the user interface prior to committing any money. The interface itself is minimalistic but functional. Even novice VIPSports users will easily select events, place wagers and track their sports bets.
VIP Sports' Deposit Options
Once VIPSports users are ready to place wagers, they can deposit funds via Credit Card, Cashiers Check, Wire Deposit, NETeller Deposits, NETeller Instacash, Direct Cash Deposit or FirePay. A 20% deposit bonus is impressive, but even more impressive is VIPSports' maximum deposit bonus: It's a whopping $1,000, surely something that attracts most high-stake players. Those using credit cards or concerned about privacy when making deposits can read through VIPSports's detailed policy on information gathering and use.
VIP Sports' Wagering Options
The events covered at VIPSports vary by season and focus on International sports as much as US-based ones. Users can bet on Auto Racing, Boxing, Football, Golf, Horse racing, Soccer and Tennis, as well as the four major US sports. If Bets, Parlays, Props, Futures, Straights and Teasers are all offered and VIPSports contains comprehensive explanations of each bet type. Reaching out to a wide audience of users with their sporting events, VIPSports also provides access in Dutch, Korean and Chinese. The casino at VIPSports is also first-rate and features such favorites as poker and Caribbean Stud.
Withdrawing Funds at VIP Sports
When VIPSports users are ready to make a withdrawal, they can select from Credit Card withdrawal, FedEx Cashiers Check, NETeller, Regular Mail Withdrawal, Direct Cash or FirePay. NETeller is the preferred form of deposits and withdrawals. The 24-hour toll-free assistance is a huge plus when VIPSports users have questions regarding the withdrawal process, as is the guaranteed 8-hour turnaround time on all emailed inquiries.
VIP Sports' Bottom Line
VIPSports sportsbook is a first-rate, well-run online sports betting site with a significant upside and very few, if any, downsides. For online gamblers who take their sports betting seriously, VIPSports is as good a bet as any.
