New Sportsbook Offers Instant Payouts

17 September 1998

The Big Book, a new online sports book based in Costa Rica, opened its doors this week with sights of providing the fastest, most secure sportsbook product available.

The new site, located at http://www.thebigbook.com/servlet/Welcome?ID=18, uses the Cyberoad wagering system, which offers a fully integrated call center and uses the eBanx secure eCash system for all its financial transactions.

"By having The Big Book use eBanx for all its financial transactions, the sports gambler never again has to worry about getting payouts," Cyberoad Corporation President John Coffey said. "You post-up with eBanx, you play with The Big Book, and your winnings are instantly sent to your personal eBanx account."

The Big Book takes wagers on pointspreads, moneylines, parlays, teasers, totals, buy points, and futures on NFL, Major League Baseball, NBA, NHL, NCAA football and basketball, and boxing action. It also offers singles and combos bets on European soccer league action, English Premiere and Italien Serie A, as well as Champions League, UEFA Cup, and Cup Winners Cup betting. All accounts are tax free.

Cyberoad Corporation (http://www.cyberoad.com), a developer of software and network systems for the international gaming industry, pioneered the integration of the network and software system into the eBanx system earlier last year. EBanx (http://www.ebanx.com) is a Canadian-based Internet transaction clearinghouse company that offers a secure, instant eCash system with "banking-level" encryption security.
