Playing with it and I get the same, cant seem to open the bookie room, keep getting the room closed message:

Sorry, the bookie center is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.
We will be back soon...

[LgsOfChampions]

I get same error! Is there going to be a fix for this or not?

[kylek]

It is marked as open source so hopefully someone can take a look at it and see why we keep getting the closed message. Everything else looks good (making bets, etc) and this seems to be the only thing that is not allowing usage.

[Omranic]

Quick response:

1. Check product's settings
2. Check every usergroup's permissions

[LgsOfChampions]

I did 5x's and still nothing

[kylek]

Same thing. Have set all usergroups to yes settings to view, get closed message.

Set all usergroups to no except admins to test and set up - get closed message.

Have tried all product settings - same as your screenshot - get closed message.

[LgsOfChampions]

**uninstalled** guys don't waste your time installing this product, does not work!!! Wait until someone figures out the issue with it

[kylek]

Yup, uninstalled also - found a lot of errors in sections of admincp, going back to vbookie, at least it works right away after installing.

[LgsOfChampions]

is the supporter going to offer some advice or is this mod going to fail?

[mort2412]

Looks like this mod is a complete rip off of vBookie, just a few things have been changed!!
