Perhaps VIP Sports should switch their name to Nosebleed Sports because thatâs the quality of its betting site. It barely passes as a sportsbook and youâre better off taking your hard-earned money elsewhere.
Editor’s rating
To be frank, thereâs little to like about VIP Sports. Its website is either buggy, outdated, or both. Those are mistakes you simply canât afford in this competitive industry and it immediately sours the entire playing experience. Get all the details in our VIPsports.eu review.

Account creation
We tried to sign up to make our VIPsports.eu review but get this, the registration page never loaded. That was the case no matter what device we tried (desktop, tablet, or phone) or Internet connection we connected to. Either the site is just that buggy or VIP Sports isnât taking in new members. Either way, thatâs not a good reflection on them. One has to wonder, if they canât get something as simple as registration right, are you really going to trust VIP Sports with your money?

Welcome Bonuses
Yay, this promotion page actually loaded â take that for a change! On the page, VIP Sports advertises a 100-percent match to newbie players whose limit is $250. But hereâs the catch: the offer expired on Sunday, September 29th, 2013. No, thatâs not a typo either. Itâs actually written right there on-site. Can this betting site get any worse? As youâll soon find out in our VIPsports.eu review, yes, it can.
Deposits
In the VIP Sports main menu, thereâs a âbankingâ section. Upon clicking it, the page failed to load once again. An error message soon followed stating, âthe page might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.â Yikes.
We scoured the Internet to try to find information on what deposit methods the site actually takes, however, info was non-existent. It doesnât seem like too many players actually use the site, if any.
Withdraw Winnings
To rehash what we mentioned earlier, the banking page at VIP Sports doesnât work at all. Thus, we canât speak to what ways you can cash out on the site. Honestly, with VIP Sportsâ track record, itâs banking system is probably kaput and unusable â which is problematic if you want to get back money youâve rightfully won.
Placing a Bet
With a predominantly blue and white design, VIP Sports not only looks like an Ice Age-era creation, it functions like one, too. Itâs slow, buggy, and barely functions. If it somehow miraculously loads, you can just click into a listed odd to initiate the betting process. Enter how much to wager and confirm the bet. From there, you can pray â not necessarily that the bet pans out, but pray that it actually goes through to VIP Sportsâ error-ridden system.
Politics Betting
Politics are not available for betting at VIP Sports in any capacity. And as you are about to find out, itâs not the only thing missing from the sportsbook here.
eSports
Was esports even a âthingâ back when VIP Sports was last updated â which we imagine is circa-2013? If it was, it was nothing like the juggernaut it is today. Anyway, no, you can not gamble on video games at VIP Sports.
Virtual Sports Betting
Yeah, no need to waste any time here, if eSports isnât bettable on VIP Sports, then virtual sports sure as heck arenât either. Nothing to see here, folks.
NBA
Both the NBA and NCAA basketball can readily be found on VIP Sports. Most action is limited to pregame or halftime lines, though. Thereâs little in the way of futures or props.
US Open
Unfortunately, tennis does not have a place at VIP Sports. At the very least, we were expecting coverage for the Grand Slam events (e.g. Wimbledon or the US Open). But to little surprise, VIP Sports dropped the ball in this department, too.
NFL
While the sportsbook of VIP Sports is lacking in a multitude of ways, NFL wagering is not one of them. No league has a larger betting presence on the platform than âthe shield.â This includes pregame lines and futures. On top of the NFL, VIP Sports also carries odds for college football and even the Canadaian Football League.
MLB
Playing second fiddle to the NFL at the sportsbook is the MLB. Ah yes, âAmericaâs pastimeâ is a prominent fixture at VIP Sports with lines for daily games. Though, it could fare better when it comes to props. Those additional bets is what really makes the sport worthwhile during a sluggishly-long 162-game season.
More Betting Options
If you havenât gotten the memo by now, the only sports you can wager on at VIP Sports are basketball, baseball, and football. Thatâs it. Sure, those are the three most popular sports in America, but you canât call yourself a real sportsbook unless thereâs more available. Sorry, VIP Sports, you donât cut it.
Casino
Remember Adobe Flash? It used to be a requirement to play games and watch videos onlines. However, those days are long gone and Flash is actually being phased out across the entire Internet â unless you are VIP Sports, of course. To access its casino, youâll need an up-to-date version of Flash installed on your computer. Once you have that, youâll be able to play mediocre slot machines.
Live Betting
In-play betting does not exist on VIP Sports. Our guess is the technology is far too advanced for a dated site like this. After all, it takes a lot of resources to build a sportsbook with live betting capability and VIP Sports is clearly missing those resources.
Parlay Betting
Perhaps surprisingly, you actually can lay down parlays at VIP Sports. Itâs no different than making a straight bet, well besides the fact that youâll pick multiple lines instead of just one.
Additional Betting Help
Yeah, forget about it. If VIP Sports canât even put together a functioning website, then it sure isnât going to maintain a blog that hands out free betting advice.
Promotions
No different than the sign-up bonus we mentioned earlier, the advertised reload bonus on VIP Sports is also outdated. It too expired on September 29th, 2013. For what itâs worth, it was a reload bonus of 25 percent, which maxed out at $250 per transaction.
Customer Service
VIP Sports doesnât have a call-in phone number, but they can be reached via live chat or its ticketing system. Support is handled in English.
Emails
Without a playing account, we also werenât able to sign for its email marketing communication â if they even have one. Assuming they did, do you think theyâll actually load correctly unlike its website? Our guess is no.
Live Streaming
If you want to watch games you have action on, you may want to stick with a cable or satellite TV subscription. You sure as heck wonât be able to stream live games at VIP Sports. But for once, this isnât a knock on VIP Sports themselves. This feature is largely missing across the industry despite the pent-up demand from bettors and certainly has an effect on our VIPsports.eu review.
VPN
Virtual private networks (VPN) are a popular service among bettors that need to hide their IP address, usually to access a site thatâs barred in their native country. VIP Sports, though? As far as we can tell, they donât limit any user from accessing its site.
If for whatever reason you have something to hide and want to cover your tracks, a VPN that we recommend is HMA. Plain and simple, HMA gets the job done. Thereâs 300 servers available where users can freely connect to and mark their IP address from. Moreover, these servers are spread across the world so you have plenty of options no matter what country restrictions exist.
Conclusion
Weâre not going to mince words in our VIPsports.eu review. It is an absolute bottom feeder in this industry. This website is comically bad and deserves zero attention from you whatsoever.
