Bovada (SBR rating A) has closed the accounts of players residing in Maryland. Players will be paid their balances in full. Bovada management tells SBR that they are communicating through email and telephone to impacted players.
On February 27th, SBR reported that Bodog was the latest sportsbook to have a ".com" domain confiscated. A federal indictment was unsealed by the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore, naming alleged Bodog executives on charges of unlawful gambling.
Before year's end, SBR reported that the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group's brand licensing agreement expired with the Bodog Brand. As a result, MMGG rebranded their sportsbook as Bovada. No Bodog brand licensee currently serves the US market.
Maryland players with feedback are asked to write to SBR.

Bovada (SBR rating A) will close their Costa Rica office and consolidate wagering services with their Antigua operation. Some of the staff will be moving to the second and now primary wagering center. With the change, Bovada will offer betting online-only which was already planned to change following March basketball. The customer service center will remain the same and players are expected to be able to call for account inquiries and receive the same level of customer service during the migration. Bodog Brand managers tell SBR that the Costa Rican office was only a third party service provider company but there was concern that Costa Rica would wrongly interpret the indictment against its former sportsbook website domain, Bodog.com. We are also told that all former employees from the Costa Rica service company will be paid full severance.

Yahoo Politics forecasts that Mitt Romney has a 65.6% likelihood of victory in the 2012 Republican primary. Fellow candidates Newt Gingrich's chances are declining, while candidates Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman have failed to gain steam. Mitt Romney's chances are attributed to his popularity in Iowa; a key state in determining who will ultimately receive the Republican nomination for President. Yahoo's figures are helped by prediction market data supplied by Betfair (SBR rating A-). Curacao based bookmaker Pinnacle Sports (SBR rating A+) has Mitt Romney as better than a 2 to 1 favorite (-221) to receive the nomination, while Canadian bookmaker Bovada.lv (SBR rating A) has Romney at -200.
To win the Republican nomination
- Pinnacle Sports: Romney -221
- Bovada.lv: Romney -200 | Gingrich +450 | Paul +700 | Huntsman +1400
- SBR Points Sportsbook: Romney -250 | Gingrich +500 | Paul +800 | Huntsman +1350
Yahoo Politics:
[quote]Gingrich's decline in Iowa is persistent and sharp, his possible routes
to the Republican nomination increasingly limited. He has trailed Paul
or Romney in each of the last 4 polls of Iowa voters (Rasmussen, ISU, PPP, Insider Advantage);
in the last 2 polls, he trails both of them by a sizable margin.
Contrast that with how things looked on December 12: prediction markets
had Gingrich's likelihood of winning Iowa near 60 percent.[/quote]
