Slow season is typically the time when ratings sites have more time to reorganize and update their information. One of the routine tasks is to check validity of domain names, their ownership and other information related to any specific url.

 

While busy with this specific task we’ve come across an interesting finding.

 

www.onlinesportsbook.com is currently operated by SBG Global, a company with a consolidated track record of slowpays, no pays and theft from players accounts.

 

While digging information on this domain we’ve come across the fact that onlinesportsbook.com was purchased on August 31st 2002 by Olympic Sports.

 

Onlinesportsbook.com and all other assets of Intercapital Global Fund Ltd, a subsidiary of Total Entertainment, where purchased by Olympic Sports, as reported by the press release posted on PRWEB on September 2nd 2002.

 

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (August 31, 2002) - Olympic Sports Book acquired the assets of OnlineSportsBook.com, previously operated by Intercapital Global Fund, Ltd, a subsidiary of Total Entertainment.

“We intend to make the transfer process as easy as possible for OnlineSportsBook.com customers,” said Spiros Athanas, owner of Olympic Sports Data Services, Ltd.

There has been significant speculation in the industry of the acquisition, as forum operators and players alike traded rumors over the last several weeks of the pending deal. Olympic management remained silent about the transaction until the deal was finalized today

Matter of fact we found rather interesting that a domain name lawfully purchased by Olympic is now operated by SBG Global.

 

While Olympic has not been available to comment at this time, our sources within the industry report that the former owner of onlinesportsbook.com maintained control over the domain name up until full payment of the deal, and then snapped it and re-sold the url to SBG Global. Others report that the individual still maintains control over the url and has “leased” it to SBG.

 

The Offshore Wire has opened an investigation over this alleged case of cyber theft and will further report on the subject.

 

However this was not the only interesting finding during our recent search.

 

BetCSI, a well known deposit only operation, also reserved a surprise. Their url, www.betcsi.com , redirects to……SportsBookReview !

 

SBR denied having purchased this url, while BetCSI’s management is nowhere to be found.

I was thinking of a few days for this story to unfold...it only took a couple of hours....

4/16/2005 BREAKING NEWS - SBG / Oly case update
Total Entertainment's former President, the publicly traded company (TTNL) that owned onlinesportsbook, confirms that the domain name onlinesportsbook.com was indeed part of the assets sold to Olympic Sports. It is still unclear how this domain name ended up in SBG's hands. Former TTLN President has sent SBG Global a request to return the property to its legal owner, Olympic Data Services Ltd. The Offshore Wire will ensure live coverage on this developing story.
