Established in 1997, [[Cyberoad]] was a software company specializing in providing online betting systems. In 1998 their technology was used to launch numerous early internet sportsbooks including [[Mayan Sports]], [[The Big Book]], and [[Grand Prix Sports]], and [[The Sports Machine]]. These betting sites were unique in offering credit card deposits and e-check withdrawals through the [[eBanx]] payment processor. On November 29, 1999 Cyberoad completed the purchase of eBanx.<ref>[https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/Cyberoad_Completes_Ebanx_Acquisition "Cyberoad Completes Ebanx Acquisition"], ''bnamericas'', Costa Rica, November 29, 1999.

[[Bodog]] and [[The Big Book]] used [[Kazootek Technologies]] as an accounting firm. They were the same firm managing the eBanx payment system. On June 15th, 2001 two employees of Kazootek (Viktoria Zazuolina Zazoulina and Tatiana Kostiouk) allegedly began embezzling money from company clients. The duo recruited a new employee Greg Tanner to assist them in starting a rival company using technology and funds stolen from Kazootek. [[The Big Book]] was rumored to have agreed to become a client, and allegedly began planning to steal source code from [[eSportz]]. Following an investigation, Viktoria Zazuolina Zazoulina resigned from Kazootek in the summer of 2003. [[Bodog]] announced the termination of it's partnership with The Big Book, and elected to become the sole betting site using eSportz software.
