Hate to say it dude but you should always watermark a beta with something like 'NOT TO BE DISTRIBUTED' in bold red lettering on the menu or something. They never take things then. And you only remove it once you recieve payment.
Better yet, make sure you site-lock the version you're distributing to sponsor (upload it to your own site), add a watermark and encrypt it so it can't be decompiled and the watermark can't be removed. Of course this won't help you out anymore now...
I'm not sure what the best course of action is here. The game is your property, so officially speaking they aren't allowed to place it on their sites without your approval. I'm not sure how you can stop it from spreading now that so many websites have it though...
