== History ==
Mayan launched in 1998 using betting software developed by [[Cyberoad]]. This was the same technology powering other early internet sportsbooks including [[The Big Book]], and [[Grand Prix Sports]]. These sites used the [[eBanx]] payment processor allowing them to accept deposits through credit card and withdrawals via e-check.
Cyberoad closed in 2000 after raising money to go public. It's assets were acquired by [[El Moro Finance]] on July 20, 2000.<ref> [https://www.lawinsider.com/contracts/3LgJ8B4fXaSvtQW595FMzb/cyberoad-com-corp/agreement/2000-07-20 "TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP"], ''Law Insider'', June 20th, 2000. Retrieved on 2019-09-17</ref>. The betting software was allocated to a subsidiary [[eSportz]]. Mayan was left offline after failing to reach an agreement with the new distributor. During this time eSportz created their own sportsbook [[Bodog]], and contacted Mayan's customers informing them that their account information had been transferred over if they wanted to switch sites.
