== History ==
The Big Book was created in 1998. The sportsbook was powered by [[Cyberoad]] who provided software for many early betting sites including [[Mayan Sports]], and [[Grand Prix Sports]], and [[The Sports Machine]]. The Big Book processed payments through [[eBanx]] which allowed customers to deposit via credit card and receive payouts through e-check.

On July 20, 2000 [[eSportz]] acquired Cyberoad assets after the company shut down.<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 Big Book reached an agreement with the new provider to continue operating with the same betting software. Around this time The Big Book purchased Grand Prix Sports, who were operating out of the same Costa Rica office under different ownership.
