Here is what I found on the main site about Betmaker mschild. Didnt read anything bad about payouts. The only thing that seemed to be a problem was the cold calling and marketing of betmaker.

Merger and Aquistion activety at all time high. VIP Sports is the most active buyer. YouWager, Royal and many smaller books are all said to be Sellers actively seeking buyouts. BetCRIS could also be a Buyer under the right circumstances which recently has focused on bailing out small operators. BetWWTS has made several trips and has signed at least one confidentiality agreement although we are unaware of any serious interest. Sportsbooks who have had made M&A headlines in the recent past that appear to be holding pat; Hollywood, BoDog, SportsInteraction are said to be no longer active Sellers. Smaller operations such as BetMaker, YouWager and Sportbet along with operations that have difficult reputations such as Royal Sports have mostly signed confidentiality agreements giving buyers a chance to possibly make an offer. SBR expects a pick-up in M&A activity despite rising valuations.

Betmaker (SBR rating D+) SBR has reviewed Betmaker's rating of D+ and concluded the rating to be accurate given Betmaker's current situation. Despite the apparent positive move away from Sportbet into the CRIS building, there will likely be challenges that will include, power struggles of management, higher costs and lack of assets to invest in marketing.
