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.

TowerGaming (SBR rating D+) has been added to the sportsbook ratings guide.
TowerGaming is a licensee on the OddsMatrix platform. OddsMatrix fully supports TowerGaming; powering their software and holding player funds in reserve. The COO of OddsMatrix confirmed the business relationship in a letter to SBR.
Jesper Jensen, OddsMatrix COO: [quote]Our relationship to TowerGaming is very good and they have competent people to run the business. [/quote]
How the white-label platform controls player funds:
Jesper Jensen, OddsMatrix COO: [quote]As players are betting with OddsMatrix, we are in control of player funds residing in the sports book. If any of our licensees fails/dies, we are responsible to payout these players. This can only be done if the funds reside physically in the sports book balance. If funds are moved away, e.g. to main balance, poker- or casino balance, it is out of our control. As stated above, players are paid by OddsMatrix, but only if the licensee of OddsMatrix goes bankrupt. We are not doing day-to-day payment processing.[/quote]
The last Malta-based sportsbook to use the OddsMatrix platform was BetOnBet (SBR rating F). OddsMatrix claimed at the time that only software was provided to BetOnBet. BetOnBet's processing was reportedly done by the Linx Media Group. Both BetOnBet and the Linx Media Group have since went bankrupt. | Read full TowerGaming, OddsMatrix report
