I'm looking to make a deposit into a sports book. I have narrowed my choices down to either Bet365 or VIP. Does anyone have any advice based on prior experiences?

I am not a big money bettor so I am not looking at someplace like Pinnacle that caters to higher stakes wagerers. One major thing that drew my attention to VIP was the fact that they don't appear to charge anything no matter how many Neteller withdrawals you make.

Anyone have any other advice to sway me from one or the other?

What do you think blade? We have the VIP Sports lines on our nfl page so that is a plus for them.

Not sure about Neteller or their fees. I use Firepay. had an issue with neteller (stupid reps), and no longer have an acct there. i have used both bet365 and VIP. I used bet365 earlier this year cuz they had the best futures payouts of any major online sportsbooks. Sometimes the spreads can vary on games between books, and if there is a favorable difference, i'll use that book for that game. Bet365 answers their phones 24-7 and provides same day email responses. i've never had to contact VIPsports for anything yet but i'd imagine vip has the same level of service as bet365. Bets placed on bet365 are listed on a page to look at, but they are hard to locate (not very user friendly), but that's my only complaint with bet365. You could open accts at both, and just fund them, if/when you like a game on that particular site. Both of these have solid reps in the online sportsbook world which is the main thing. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the review, blade! I just might go the route of funding both sites.

I haven't played VIP sports.

Bet365 only allows one free cashout per month, so the deposit-to-play idea might be a cash drain. I played a lot at Bet365. The betting interface is clear and easy, and has many options. The supertease options aren't as good as other rooms -- 10pts for NFL?. They offer piddly bonus options on a regualr basis - beats a stick in the eye. And the history/bet tracking is buried in the cashier, but the interface loads quickly. Not bad, not great.
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.

I have accounts at both, but am currently using VIPSports, I like it and will continue to use them.
