Two unrelated TowerGaming (SBR rating D+) players claim that their winnings have been confiscated. Each player has a similar account of the sportsbook debiting their balances, allowing only for their deposits to be returned. TowerGaming stated that their welcome bonus was intended for recreational bettors only.
One player shared a transcript that shows "LisaT"—a TowerGaming representative—abruptly disconnecting a chat session.

GR88 (SBR rating D+) has been added to the sportsbook ratings guide.
GR88 is part of the Merge Gaming poker network. GR88's sportsbook application is powered by OddsMatrix. OddsMatrix is a white-label host that also supports TowerGaming, BoogieBet, BetCave, Bulldog777 and others. OddsMatrix was first covered by SBR in July of 2009; BetOnBet, which used OM's software, was a slow-pay sportsbook that went off-line without paying players. Oddsmatrix's COO stated that they were never in control of BetOnBet player funds. The Linx Media Group—who also went off-line—was reportedly responsible for BetOnBet's payment processing.
GR88's website displays a Kahnawake Gaming Commission emblem; deceptive as it is the Merge Gaming network which holds the license, not the GR88 gaming company. GR88 itself claims to be operated by Olympian Trading Limited, a company incorporated in Curacao.
SBR will speak with OddsMatrix management to confirm the extent of the business relationship with GR88.

Three BoogieBet (SBR rating D) players have submitted live wagering complaints. The three players tell SBR that they had winning bets nullified by BoogieBet.
BoogieBet argues to SBR that the odds were not updated at the time the players placed the wagers, not that they were off-market to start with. The situation is commonly referred to in the offshore world as linesmen "falling asleep at the wheel".
SBR suggests that in cases where a sportsbook is not quick enough to a line-change, that players not be penalized as a result of the sportsbook's tardiness. | BoogieBet explanation
