Thumbs down Vip sports puts ridiculous limits after 2 bets

Hello, I'd like to share my frustration about VIP sports and their limiting policy which seems to be totally ridiculous. After I created account there (and requested bonus which I got maybe 1 day after that) I made 1 soccer bet of around 200$ on ~2.0 odds. Night after that I made bet to nba moneyline for around +1k$ with ~1.5 odds. Well they both hit and now few days later I try to make another bet on nba and I notice I can't bet on any game/line/type more than 105$(basketball). Other sports I checked, maximum stake was around 20-150$. So now Im stuck there with money if I want to keep the bonus I received and the money I got from wagering with it unless I bet a lot with these ridiculous limits. I've never seen any site limiting this fast and especially from these kind of bets.

Default If they don't want your business they must prorate the bonus

They can not do that. You made your deposit and received the bonus based on a reasonable assumption and representation by VIP that you could make bets at a certain limit.

They can't just change your limits to $100, and force you to bet that to keep the money you have won.

That is absolutely ridiculous.

They have in effect told you they don't want your action, period.

In this case SBR requires them to pro rate the bonus, I believe.

They put $50 max limit for me on th internet also but I could call in and make big bet if I chose to do so. I believe $500 was the max on the phone.

In all of these cases, were these steam/move plays, or just someone not being an idiot?

Its doesnt take steam to get limited at VIP.

And it doesnt take being a genius either.

If you are slightly above the short bus, and even those riding in the front of the short bus, your over / under at VIP with regards to getting limited is 1 week.

Try an A-book according to this site. VIP is very reputable. I have a $5,000 limit with VIP on all sides. I have negotiated a 50% reload bonus with VIP as well. VIP is #1 in my humble opinion.

It's fine for books to limit a player, but not if it screws him out of his bonus.

How much do you need to meet rollover?

VIP's rollover is calculated this way: deposit + bonus x 3

I recently deposited $1,800 with a 50% reload bonus of $900, so my required rollover points is 8,100 using above formula to clear my $900 bonus. I never had a problem with VIP.

VIP doesn't accept wagers via phone anymore. However, I have a $5,000 limit via their website.
