I had a call this morning to say that VC will no longer be operating in SA.

All the best to the SA team for the future.

I find that decision very interesting .Normally any business starting up,particularly in unfamiliar territory, will have teething problems but with adjustment and fine tuning improve &/or succeed.
This decision,after so little time, suggests that they have identified issues which they believe are insurmountable and would inhibit a worthwhile business,and I would love to know what those are!
Would love an opinion from anybody who is/was privy to strategy.

Judging by the letter they sent, their endgame appears to have been an online casino licence. Obviously they never realised the red tape involved.
Their website seems to have just been a means to an end, keeping up appearances until the online casino that was never to be.

Really I have dealt with a lot of websites, but them and sportingbet really seemed like sore losers. Any decent profit and you are deemed persona non grata.

You are not missing much as they are usless. If you place a winning bet for a French or an Irish race it takes an age to be paid. They have no form guide whatsoever on their site and most days they have the same jockey riding up to 5 horses in the same race.

The only good value on VC was a fixed place bet on VC. You should get 1/6 of the price for a place even if there was a 1/10 favourite in the race. Ilhe Grande made me a fortune when Igugu was odds on in the Oaks. I got Ilhe Grande 3/1 a place where as Hollywood and other sites was offering 1/5 a place !!!!!!!!
