“people, bettango is just bullshit!
i promise you the owner is the one that posts all those nice things about bettango, i am totally sure about it, im not just guessing.
do not believe in anything good they say here about them.
these guys are the same scammers from www.sunsetsports.com, who stole all the players money like 3 or 4 years ago.
the owner’s name is johnny vargas and he is from costa rica and another guy from canada laurence bartle, they are located in a big house in escazu, they barely have employees, i believe is like one more person that helps them take care of the livechat and emails and all that.
they will not give you your money back at all. trust me”

These characters Johnny Vargas & Lawrence Bartle are notoriously well known in Costa Rica and are associated with a myriad of scam sportsbooks including Bet Met and Bet Tango to name a few.

Canadian – “Lawrence Bartle” aka William Bartle aka “The Banker” who connects to the internet from ip address 200.59.17.130 who resides in Costa Rica with no status or papers is infamous for trying to sell people credit card processing services while attempting to charge outrageous up front fees. I am sure most experienced, and professional bookmakers would not fall for such antics.

A person using the name “James Green” even tried to post comments here on our site defending Bet Tango from the very same IP address mentioned above.

The latest operation being run by these two  is called Safe Cashier and we would recommend avoiding at all costs along with of course Bet Tango and any other operations associated with this cast of characters.

On December 14th the player made a payout request and has since not received his funds. Additionally, shortly after making the payment request the player has been locked out of his account.

The player discovered Bet Tango via a Moneybookers promotion.

SBR will investigate into the complaint and Bet Tango further.

Any book offering such ridiculous bonuses should be avoided as it is a recipe for disaster.

As previously reported BetTango is a start up sportsbook based in Costa Rica with no history whatsoever and no track record of experience or reliability.

It now seems Bet Tango is tied to one Stewart Mazure who has allegedly been sued multiple times, and who according to one posted on Start Casino is as crooked as a 3 dollar bill.

According to poster “Frog Kisser” on Start Casino, who claims to be his ex-spouse, another poster calling himself “The Banker” is in fact the infamous Stewart Mazure.

In reading this “The Banker”’s posts which are full of spelling errors, and grammatical errors it quickly becomes clear that this individual is by no stretch of the imagination a “Banker” of any sort.

Now, oddly enough an “employee” from Bet Tango is coming to the defense of the so called “Banker”.

Perhaps all the above is not true, and perhaps this “Banker” really is not “Stewart Mazure” as the other poster states, however, the poor writing and unprofessional demeanor makes one wonder.

Add to this the strikingly similar tone, and writing style of the post from “Bookie” / “Manager” at Bet Tango defending “The Bank” and one wonders whether “The Banker” and “Bookie/Manager” are also one and the same.

While none of the above is conclusive in regards to who any of these individuals really are, one truly has to ask oneself  ‘is it wise to send any money to these‘  “anonymous”  individuals?  Clearly Not.

Avoid them ALL at all costs!

Due to their poor reputation they are likely targeting players with big bonuses who may be uneducated about the industry.

They are also known to be associated with dubious processors (scam uncoded processors) and should be avoided at all costs.

There is a much stronger than likely chance of not receiving payment should one win/beat the book.
