RichCoastSports.com(SBR rating F) has failed. Supposedly a new ownership group is trying to be formed. It is unclear if players will recover any money or be forced into a lengthy roll over. The victims seem to be limited to referrals from a watchdog touting high risk operations. RichCoast Sports appears to be a victim of under capitalization and poor management.
