The main hosting company for BetCRIS and a large contigent of other sportsbetting operations was taken off-line yesterday by NY/US authorities because of the huge arrest they made. They are alleging that the hosting company is complicit in the crime those people were committing, since that operation was being run from US soil in direction violation of the Wire Act.
Since nearly all sites of this type run their entire communications system through their main network hookup (voice over IP), if that main link is down, it takes out everything - websites, email, and the phone connections.
BetCRIS, from what I understand, already has moved their servers to a new hosting company, but it may take up to 48 hours for the new DNS information to propogate to the Internet. BetCRIS is the owners of ACR, so I don't think this is cashflow or 'cut and run' situation at all. BetCRIS is a VERY reliable sportsbook operation.
