BetMayor plan unravels as additional online sportsbook in trouble is uncovered
By: Jim Quinn - osga.com
Published: May 6, 2015
We reported on the problems at BetMayor last week and have received more information and unfortunately, it does not look good for players. And, even more horrifying, it involves another online sportsbook.
The latest sportsbook involved in this mess in Costa Rica is GlobalBet. They have also run into money problems and have held off a player who is owed over 40K for several months. They continue to insist that he will be paid, but they have not sent him any money, only given him lip service and empty promises. We had a conversation with the head of GlobalBet, Daniel, regarding this player and his outstanding balance. We were told that player past posted bets and thus would have to wait to be paid, if he would be paid at all. We requested his betting history and after more than a week, we checked in with GlobalBet again. This is when we were informed that GlobalBet was one of the '3 high-end sportsbooks' that are allegedly being merged together in a purchase of sportsbooks and casinos by Media-Tech, a Panamanian company. One of the other books involved in this 'merger' is BetMayor.
The player owed 40K (and OSGA) was told that moving forward, GlobalBet was going to cater to EU and South American players only and that his balance was going to be transferred to the sportsbook that Media-Tech deemed to continue to serve U.S. customers – BetMayor. In addition, the player was informed that he would have to rollover his existing balance at the 'new' sportsbook before he could be paid and that no funds would be available until the merger was 'complete' in 30 days.
While GlobalBet was telling this player his account was moved to BetMayor, BetMayor was sending a player with a huge balance over to GlobalBet.
On April 3rd we reported that BetMayor had determined a 'sharp player' took advantage of the casino and his account was closed and balance confiscated. His winning style of play deemed him to be a 'professional' in violation of the rules at BetMayor. Despite BetMayor insisting they were within their rights, as 'Paul' had violated their terms and conditions, he continued to fight with BetMayor about the confiscation of his account. Yesterday, Paul was told that BetMayor was being sold to a Panamanian company and merging with other sportsbooks. He was told that his balance would be available to be used at . . . wait for it . . . GlobalBet, but that it could not be withdrawn for 60 days! And strangely, Paul is from the U.S.!!
Both of these sportsbooks have been spinning the notion that they will be part of the so-called 'buyout' by Media-Tech. We did some checking with sources in Panama and no such 'merger and acquisition' company that 'specializes in entertainment' exists. Emails to Media-Tech still bounce and the phone number listed on their website continues to go unanswered.
Even a blind man could see that this is all part of some elaborate scheme to not pay the players who are owed big money at either of these sportsbooks. There is no merger, nor is there hope that either of these places survive to pay players. Who would want to send money to such obvious liars? Would anyone expect to even be paid out by either of these companies?
BetMayor and GlobalBet are making a mockery of American players and putting a black–eye on the entire online gambling industry. This type of thievery and shenanigans not only looks bad, it is bad. Online sportsbooks and casinos that are out to scam players harm the legitimate sportsbooks that are out there and gives fodder to anti-gambling activists. Players will read this and think that all online sportsbooks are scamming crooks, but in reality it is just a few bad apples out there trying to take advantage of Americans looking to play offshore.
Players should heed two of our mantras here at OSGA – don't play at sportsbooks that have not made it successfully though one football AND baseball season and always check out places before sending them money. Finally, when in doubt, players should simply stick with sportsbooks rated Premier or Elite by OSGA.

I did what OSGA suggested in the beginning which was say it was safe to deposit there in the beginning. If they are saying not to now then i will not. But i was not going to deposit anyway until i see that the others on here have been paid what they are owed . If they are paid then i will try them again but not before i see that happen.SBR rated them F for a reason. That is why they and other watchdogs are around. To help you guys.

Wow, OSGA did their homework
Comment -
Bottomline we can all agree on is ............... if you do get an email or phone call from anyone named Kennedy, your best bet is to delete it immediately or hang up without hesitation. No good will come from doing anything else.
Same goes for Jeff or Andrew.Comment -
Dim so I guess we aren't expecting to be paid...I have to admit I held out some optimism i would see funds. But that seems to have evaporated quickly. Only chance they got is to send guys like you and me funds like tomorrow and get some validation other than their own words. But trust I know those odds are better than hitting a 10 team parlay having to cover!Comment -
Does anyone have any info on who the other books and casinos are other than global?Comment -
I will say this, I had the same sentiment if they made right with me and showed solvency, that said all these other stories that are coming up and the whole 60 day issue is just too difficult to overcome but the other part of me says it's hard to disagree if they made right with everything after all the drama. Still hoping…Comment -
Some people that invested with Bernie Madoff got paid also. That is the whole idea about ponzi schemes (scams). You pay a few out while taking other people's money until the cat is out of the bag. You do it as long as possible. You are buying time. Then you make other plans like ... run, make up stories like employees stole the coffee maker or someone stole their money or open up another book under a another name across the street and who knows what else.
Things in life that I will never understand:
- Woman writing letters to convicted mass murderers in prison claiming their love and wanting to marry them.
- Gamblers that would still send money to Betmayor after hearing all this. (or any other books like this)
- Survivor TV show
- Rap music

Bey Mayor is finished.Comment -
Thanks captrobey for the warning, they are still calling with crazy cash bonuses.Comment -
What an incredibly ignorant person you are. When i started this thread it was because several people wanted to know if BM payed . When i got paid i said that i did to answer questions. Every single thing said on here was the truth. You show me at any point where it was not. I got paid as did many others on here. I NEVER said they were the greatest book in the world. But when they were paying they had the best bonuses and limits . I also got the Ok to trust them from OSGA in the beginning.
Yea- every person that is using OSGA and what they are saying now fail to mention that they said BM was good in the beginning. I did not just Join them without checking them first. Does this sound like they were saying they were a bad book? This is from June 4th of 2014 in response if they knew of BM.
Yes we have heard of BetMayor. They are a smaller outfit (as the site says) that started up about 2 years ago. They recently brought in some new personnel and are doing a pretty good job at this point. We have spoken to management at BetMayor and they have some interesting ideas about running a sportsbook to remain profitable even during slow times/bad weeks.
We are expecting BetMayor to do some very positive things moving forward. Right now, you can certainly try them for a smaller deposit and see how it goes. They do pay winners, but these newer, smaller outfits need to get some longevity and spotless track record before we will give them a high rating.
Again, thank you for your support of OSGA! Hope this helps.Comment -
Who is we? You and dimsum and one or 2 other guys? Is that supposed to be impressive that a book pays a couple guys? You know absolute shit about these people except they are scammers but yet you choose to stand up for them for some fukked up reason.
bullshitI got paid as did many others on here
WTF??? Why on Earth would you even suggest anyone do this? Smaller amount or not? Sorry man but that's utter nonsense. You would have to be an idiot to send them a dollar.Right now, you can certainly try them for a smaller deposit and see how it goes.
They do? How can you say that with a straight face? Where is your proof? Did you even read shit people are posting? This is such an irresponsible statement. They have paid a couple players that lose the most amount of money with them in order for them to keep on depositing and losing. They paid losers not winners. Now they pay neither one.They do pay winners
There are good smaller books out there with quality people running them. Betmayor doesn't fall under that category. This is obvious to everyone except one or two people. No book will have spotless track records btw.smaller outfits need to get some longevity and spotless track record before we will give them a high rating.Last edited by DwightShrute; 05-16-15, 02:22 PM.Comment -
Again this was OSGA in response to me . Honestly, do i regret using them, because i did get screwed toward the end with them delaying the last $3000 i had in there which lead to me losing it all.
No, i do not regret it i guess only because i got more out of it then i put in. And no i do not like that they are not paying others on here i just hope they got more out of it then they put in.
I still nowhere on here said anything that was untrue. They had the best bonuses out there and they had great limits and they were paying people at that point. The guy that supposedly lost the $51000 it was said he deposited $5000. I would never deposit that much there but with the bonuses as they were and already having been paid and up at the time i did not mind depositing $350-$500 .Comment -
I can only speculate from what I've seen in this joke of a thread. You are the ignorant person for playing at such a mediocre scam book.
From the beginning this thread was suspicious, all I kept reading was "withdrawn $5000" and it arrived like lightning, and you kept touting their deposit bonus blah blah blah, you sounded like a broken record. Dim Sum your partner in crime was acting in a much similar manner.
All in the while Dwight Shrute comes in here and warns everyone about this dodgy book, even highlighting a few cases where they had not paid out and had pending cases against them. Meanwhile you ignored what he posted and kept saying you have "withdrawn $5000", were you and Dim Sum the only people getting paid within a week while everyone else had to wait or not get paid at all for some reason?
You are some sort of schill to the highest degree or you are a plain liar. The part where you said you did not know how to screen shot was hilarious. You probably even convinced some people to deposit into this book and for that I hope you feel guilty but you probably don't.
Captrobey, your posts in this thread are the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent responses were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.BETTING EXCHANGES, easy money.

Once again i say what an incredibly ignorant person you are. You have ZERO clue of what you are talking about. You come on here like a smartass and accuse me of swindling people out of their money.
People wanted to know if BM would pay. I hit and cashed out and i did get paid. I never told anyone at any time to deposit here. So you expect me to lie and say i did not get paid? Any book i have gotten paid at i have ALWAYS let people know i have gotten paid there.
More people then myself an Dim Sum got paid on here. Everyone who was owed money was paid in the beginning and they were paid quickly. When Bodog way back took a month to get me my $3000 i let people know it. If i get paid quickly i also let people know it.
Yea so what i said about their bonus. They had the best bonus out there at the time which is one of the reasons i played there. I know that several people were debating on depositing there and were wondering if anyone was paid so when i got paid i said i got paid.
Yes Dwight was saying stuff about BM. He is also saying now about all the stuff OSGA is saying about them and not to use them or this new book. OSGA and i mentioned this before told me it was ok to deposit a small amount there they seemed legit. Where was he when they were saying that?
I am not a shill i never got anything other then the normal bonuses from there. They do not pay me to do anything for them. I am also not a liar and no i do not feel guilty about anything why should i? I never told anyone at any point to deposit . I only told everyone what my experience with them at the time was.
Hey Everyone- is there anyone on here that i told to deposit their own money at any point whatsoever or bug you to deposit where i would get some kind of kickback? Hello ? Anyone. Lets see if anyone says i did .
I do not need to have god have mercy on my soul because i have not done anything wrong.Comment -
I have been paid by BetMayor before, that is why I have been playing with them all this time. As for what Captrobey said about why he deposited and what he read on OSGA it is the same thing I read and reason why I started playing with them. Until recently I have never had a problem with them.Comment -
BTW, during all of college football and NFL season I was getting between 500-800 payouts every week from BetMayorComment -
Noone on here seems to care that OSGA said it was Ok to deposit there in the beginning. But they sure as hell like to bring it up now. I never told anyone to deposit there. Did i at any point PM you and tell you to deposit your own money Pack? Although i did say that i did not see a problem with depositing a smaller amount to take advantage of that bonus. At least for myself i looked at it this way- if i hit and did get the cashout i would have been ahead which i was. It was a new book so you just do not know what will happen but if you do get paid i did not see the problem with depositing small again and trying to cash out again. I got a total of 3 cashouts of $13000 . I have tried a couple of newer books before for smaller amounts just because a book is new does not make it a scam.
People come on here and always ask about new books. But not many want to take the risk. If OSGA says it is Ok and i talk to the people there and they seem Ok i will take a chance at a smaller deposit. If i hit i will say i got paid like on here . If i deposit and they screw me over in ay way i will also say it(Betmania as i have said before on here).Comment -
No i deposited on my own and had nothing but good experiences. However I had a few friends I know deposit as a referal and they are kind of pissed about what is going on now so i feel like an asshole. But the site was running fine for a long time and i was getting payouts whenever I wanted. Once BM starts to pay out again there should not be any problems.Comment -
You have absolutely nothing to blame yourself on though pack. All we can do is play at a book and say what happens good or bad. We tested the waters and it seemed Ok and like you said too when OSGA gave the go you feel a little safer. Any book that is new can pack up and run off at any time but they can also be legit you just do not know. But if they are doing everything they say they will do and are paying everyone at the time you have to say it. I feel bad too that this happened but we had nothing 0% to do with it. Hopefully everyone that did deposit got more out of it then they put in .Comment -
Damn people getting stiffed by this place and they still think its a good book or have the need to say good things about them. Of course they are going to pay you during football season and stiff you during baseball.Comment -
captrobey, no one is criticizing you for depositing after the initial osga report but surely you can see how someone can be critical if you did and plan to still after the last two reports?
It got to the point where you were posting your picks in this thread seemingly showing blind support of these crooks despite the warnings. But that's in the past.
You even said that you will probably still deposit with them after all this. That's a head scratcher! It's like you know yourself, your friends warn you and you've heard countless people have become ill because the Chef at your favorite restaurant doesn't wash his hands after taking a shit and uses rotten food to cook with but you still go eat there because you haven't got sick yet. And after you inevitably get sick and the place closes, you look forward to the day he opens another restaurant across town.
People can only do their best to warn people about scumbags like Jeff, Andrew, Kennedy, Betmayor and their likes. Despite all that, I bet there will be those fools who will still send money to Jeff, Andrew or Kennedy the next time they call or send an email with an amazing offer with their latest sportsbook. As the phrase goes ...Fools and their money are soon parted.Last edited by DwightShrute; 05-19-15, 12:45 PM.Comment -
Yea i do admit that . If every person that is owed money is paid then i would probably do a deposit. They said in 2 months so after 2 months if they are serious everyone would get paid. If they make another excuse then they were lying . But so far noone has been paid. I do not know of anyone that would deposit there until that happens.
I know Dwight most are not criticizing me. But when that Tommygun guy makes a statement about everyone thanking me and Dim Sum for losing their money that i did not like .Comment
