Gambling911.com heads to Panama City, Panama this weekend to visit two stalwarts in the online sports betting world, Legendz Sportsbook and BetOnline.com. We will also be visiting with pay per head operator PayPerHead.com, which is represented by none other than The Sopranos Johnny Sack.

This is a rare opportunity for Gambling911.com readers to get inside two of the biggest betting operations during their busy time. The magnificent Legendz office, which we suspect has probably doubled in size since we last visited in 2002, will be welcoming Gambling911 on Saturday during College Football. On Sunday, G911 will be checking out the BetOnline.com office.

For those not familiar with Legendz, Luke and the gang were among the first to set up offshore originally in Costa Rica. When that Central American online gambling hub came up with the disastrous idea to license betting businesses, Legendz was the very first to obtain a license citing they wished to be part of a regulated environment. The majority of companies never obtained a license.

We’ve known the folks from BetOnline.com as long as we’ve known Legendz and this is a business that continues to grow by leaps and bounds but never as dramatically as we’ve seen for this football season.

Many in the online poker community will be wanting to know more about this company's plans to grow its own proprietary brand and network.

Join us this weekend for some great interviews and find out how the online sports betting sector is faring during these challenging times.
