BETonSPORTS players continue to contact us regarding emails received from Vantis. Their sportsbetting, casino and poker operations shut down over a year ago, BETonSPORTS employed a ‘liquidator’ to close their business affairs nearly two months ago. This week Vantis finally began to contact players via email.

The email comes from Vantisplc.com and directs players to a website – http://betonsports.vantisplc.com. At this point you are given the option to login with the shiny, new creditor reference number from your email and your email address. Once signed in you can expect to see your name, address, BOS (or affiliate) account number and amount. You then must verify your balance. Once this is all completed you will still get the message:

“Please bear in mind that due to the volume of claims we have received we will not be in a position to report further to you until at least May 2008.”

We have had reports of players who had multiple accounts only getting emails for the lowest balance. We have have reports of players who had bonus money taken out of their balance. And, we have had many reports where player still have received no contact as of yet.

Unfortunately, we attempted to contact Vantis several times since we first heard of this on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, our emails have gone unanswered and our phone calls rejected. Today, we found out that the three leads on this project are all off on holiday until Jan 2, 2008.

There are many questions that we are seeking the answers to including, What about players who have multiple accounts? Should these players verify the balance on the one that comes without seeing the other balances? What about players with no email address? When will they be contacted?

So, as of this writing, some of you are feeling a bit better about getting your funds inn 2008, while most of us sit and wonder what is going to happen next. Still, some contact shows that Vantis is indeed looking to finalize all of this prior to the next BETonSPORTS court date in June……

We will contact Vantis again after the 2nd and report in this space. Please let us know of any questions you would like answered by responding to this BLOG entry below.
