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 Cuaracao.
SBR will speak with OddsMatrix management to confirm the extent of the business relationship with GR88.
Go figured lol, I didn't even know they offered sports betting, but fwiw - I know several people with these guys and consider them all stand up, well experienced and well financed. My read might be wrong but I certainly had these guys pegged as a large step above other merge poker sites. And to be clear I have no incentive to say this at all, not a company I deal with any - just one I happen to know a few people (not personal friends) with - who knows they might suck and be shady - but way off my read if that's the case.
