WILLEMSTAD – VIP.com that offers sports betting and internet gambling has dismissed 84 employees. VIP Management Services BV exists for ten years and is established in the Bon Bini Business Center at the Schottegatweg Oost. There are still 120 employees left, confirmed top executive Alistair Assheton.
The VIP-management has sent an internal e-mail to all her employees today, inviting them to a nine o’clock meeting. The employees were divided into two groups, and one group had to attend the meeting in the Hilton Hotel, and the other group had to go the meeting in the Floris Suite. The employees that went to the Hilton Hotel were told that they are still employed, while those that went to Floris Suite were dismissed.
They were told that they will get a redundancy of one week for each year of service, the remaining vacation days, and two weeks notice paid.
For all sorts of reasons, VIP.com has to downsize, said Assheton. One of the reasons for this is the new legislation that the US introduced against sports betting and internet gambling. It is almost no longer possible to pay via credit cards, money gram, or Western Union. Due to this, a great part of the business is lost.
