Technical Problems

Our online wagering platform uses the most sophisticated software platforms to deliver you a safe and secure gaming experience. The website and software used by SBG Global is designed to work best using the latest version of Internet Explorer with an ideal screen resolution of 1024×768. A minimum resolution of 800×600 is required but users might need to scroll their screen side to view certain sections of the sites.

Other popular browsers such as Firefox have also been tested without any significant issues. Customers have reported technical issues with certain versions of the AOL browser that do not display information properly. We highly recommend that you update your AOL browser to either IE7 or Firefox 3 to alleviate any of these issues.

Over the past few years we have tested and found that many technical issues are directly related to customers not running the latest versions of available software and or not keeping their computers up-to-date with the latest patches and upgrades freely supplied for their browser and operating system.
