Earlier this afternoon the website and phone lines for YouWager, BetPoP and Wager 7 went down, along with several other minor affiliated sites. Apparently there was a severe power outage that caused this problem.

From YouWager:

To our customers: We are experiencing a power outage here in Costa Rica, our back up generator has over heated and we are working diligently to try and get the issues fixed as fast as we can. Easter week is an important holiday in this country, leaving us with limited resources so please bare with us as we work hard to get this issue fixed as fast as possible! Thanks!!!

This is NOT a case where YouWager is running off with anybody's money. They are going nowhere and we expect them to be back up and running by tomorrow. 

In the meantime, if players have another out, they should use that for this evening's wagering.

We expect to have more on this breaking story and will post here and on our Twitter feed and Facebook page.

UPDATE: The YouWager and BetPoP website are again available. Glad to see a major outage was able to be corrected quickly! WTG!
