    The guy who answers the phone at Signup2bet.com told me the info, I believe he is telling the truth because I have lost all contact with Garret, I am curious why immigration in Nicaragua would detain a gringo do you even need a passport to stay in that 3rd world toilet?

    If anyone else searches google for Garret Micheals or signup2be.com this thread is coming up first result for both. So hopefully someone else will turn up with more info.

    Please keep us updated

    SBR had this a few years ago.

    Sportsbook scam alert on GlobalWagering.ws
    By: SBR | Saturday, August 11, 2012
    GlobalWagering.ws (SBR rating D-) has been added to the SBR blacklist. GlobalWagering is managed by a former sales clerk that is attempting to poach customers by using stolen player lists from his time working at other industry shops. GlobalWagering has a staff of five employees and is run out of a rented office in Nicaragua.

    GlobalWagering came online on July 5th, 2012, immediately offering generous freeplay bonus trial accounts through email and forum promotions. The sportsbook software is Central Valley Tech, with the casino powered by Digital Gaming Solutions. GlobalWagering uses a company located in Costa Rica for its tech support, though sales clerks and manager Garret operate from Granada, Nicaragua.

    GlobalWagering refused to disclose to SBR where its financial backing comes from, citing concerns about authorities. GlobalWagering claims that it has deep pockets with investors that have a combined 25+ years in the industry, but would not provide a single reference or data to support its claims.

    When asked about its processing, GlobalWagering also refused to get into specifics, sharing only that it would offer cash payouts and other options to their most valuable customers.

    To date, SBR has not received payment feedback from GW users.

    SBR urges users to avoid new operations that surface prior to the start of football season, peddling bonus offers which seem too good to be true.

    I believe I am out as well. Would have been first decent cash-out after 15+ years in the game. Let me know if you hear anything from him and I will do the same. Surprised you got an answer from him his guys. I should have known when I talked to Garret and then to "Garret" again a few months ago. Completely different voices.

    Had played and paid $ to Global and MVP for quite some time.

    I will gladly come back to this thread to clear his name if he is in fact in jail and makes good.

    I just got a call from someone who says he wants to take over Garret Micheals accounts, he didn't offer a bailout, just wants deposits.

    Good luck getting it. I agree with you. Don't play through agents.
