    are they still safe?

    Server is down. I read @ gambling911 that they left Margarita Island in Venezuela (gov't coup in progess, or something) to become the first book in BOGOTA COLUMBIA.

    I have always liked Betmega, and think they are standup people, but BOGOTA, COLUMBIA?!? Isn't that like the Cocaine capital of the world with cartels running everything? Sounds really scary to me.

      That article in RX is not correct. Mega has a brand new casino in Columbia and this move was planned long ago. They are fine.

        they've been unreachable all day.

        maybe if the "move was planned long ago," they might have dropped their customers an e-mail

          Bruce, are you actually referring to a land-based casino? If so, what is its name and location?

          Due to the chaos ensuing in Venezuela, those books still operating there are in the process of fleeing for their lives. BetMega is moving to Bogota, Columbia, Home of the DAILY GRINGO KIDNAPPING, and all phone lines and internet connections are temporarily down.

            Yes they have a land based casino there called Mega Casino. I saw some pictures of it. It is an awesome place.

              This is not the first time they shut down and not warn anybody about it. About 4-5 weeks ago they closed early without prior notification. I missed out on 2 games and of course - they won.

              Also, I am not a fan of their limits changing constantly from one day to the next. It cost me a couple of times and I really never got a good explanation of what happened.

              Personally, I am worried about playing offshore anywhere at this point.

                Bogata huh? Thanks but no thanks. Talk about regulation in Curacao? Who do we go to if we have trouble in Bogata? Is Pablo Escobar still around?

                  Mega site still down.

                  Cant call in wagers; cant withdraw MY money to fund another account. My hands are tied. Imagine if this happened in the banking world...

                      Hi guys,

                      Sorry for the delay to reply to your posts, as you can see we've been having some problems with the site, internet and mail server as well.

                      The reason why we are down is because when we switched hosts for our site they told us that we were only going to be down for a few minutes and it turned out to be for over 24 hours. Once the DNS was switched we had to install some patches to link the website with the data base, that also took time as the patch we were given wasn't the latest so it wasn't compatible.

                      I did't reply earlier because my internet was also down. But my internet is back up, also is the wagering department, so if you need to place bets you can call them in.

                      The phone numbers where you can reach us are:

                      Wagering: 1-800-809-4432
                      1-877-276-5208

                      Marketing: 1-888-535-8830
                      1-800-411-0641

                      The reason why you guys didn't receive an email informing you about the re-location is because we were preparing an email and a link on our site with pictures of the casino but the DNS was switched and we wont have email untill the DNS is re-asigned and the site is up.

                      The reason why we moved to Bogotá is because we have a land based casino operating here for over 5 months now and as the situation in Venezuela wasn't stable so we decided that the best way to go was to move the sportsbook with the casino.

                      I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you and we will make it up to our customers.

                      If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 1-888-535-8830 and I will be more than happy to assist you.

                      The move was planed long time ago but the idea was to move after NCAA hoops were over, but then we decided that the sooner the better as we don't know what's going to happen in Venezuela in the next days.

                      ppeter:
                      The name is Mega Casino and our address is Calle 100 No 19-05, Bogotá - Colombia.

                        I got my webmaster to post a couple of pictures of the casino, I will be getting more tomorrow and I'll try to get some from the inside of the casino.
