    VIP.com changes: no new US clients and all Canadian accounts to be closed

    From today's Sportbookreview.com newswire:

    VIP (SBR rating A) and sister books no longer accepting new clients from the United States and Canada. Canada-based users will have access to their accounts until April 1st but new deposits will not be accepted. Existing U.S. customers that have deposited in the past may continue to use their accounts as normal. Phone wagering will no longer be offered. Customer service by phone will continue as normal.

    it certainly blows. and i can't even get my friends to start gambling. i tell them all about my exploits, and they still think it's too risky or don't want to reveal their address/phone to casinos and/or bank details to a webwallet. ijits!

    it's probably my fault the sites are dropping us hosers. i'm too vocal here on meisterforums.

    a few other random ones i know of who ban canadians are hit stardust, betdirect, and another one that escapes me currently...

    I don't understand the reason why some places shut off new US customers, but continue to take action from current US customers???

    Maybe they're getting revenge for Canada pumping out Celine Dion, as well as Bryan Adams?
    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    Wow, I can't figure out why they wouldn't want to send copies of their sensitive personal information to exotic offshore destinations like; Costa Rica, Antigua, or Curacao?
    sending copies of my butt to casinos with document requests, so they can kiss my ass

    Bwahahaha. With all her money Celine wore a (horrid) used dress for the red carpet the other night. But sappy as Bryan's popular songs may have been, he SLAYYYYED in roger water's 'The Wall Live in Berlin'.

    Seriously, this is a disturbing trend.... Canadians used to wait several years before adopting US ways; that way, we were their lab rats. I pity my northern neighbors if they don't incubate US idiocy a few years before unleashing it on their culture.
