Vip.com Racebook Review

Best Attributes - Ease of making a wager and a horse racing menu more extensive than some rival sites. Almost every race track, thoroughbred and harness, in North America is available, although limits on wagers and payouts varies according to the status of the tracks (see below).

VIP also accepts bets on major international races such as the Dubai World Cup, Japan Cup and the Royal Ascot meeting.

All wagers are confirmed via return e-mail, a boon to record keeping. Instantaneous updates on account balances at any time of the day or night is another useful touch. Entries, results and scratches are kept up to date and available to subscribers with the click of a mouse.


Issues: Making a deposit, especially via a credit card, can be difficult. This is a universal nuisance for offshore internet sites and primarily the fault of U.S. credit card companies, some of which are trying to eliminate deposits into wagering sites.

Alternatives include Western Union, Federal Express, Neteller.

VIP closes betting at one minute to listed post, while some other sites adhere to the traditional method of shutting down the windows with the break. However, anecdotal experience teaches this is not enforced to the second at larger tracks. Also for major stakes races, VIP allows betting right up to "They're off."
