    How safe is Bodog now?

    Time to punt the ball and cash out? They were named in the affidavit, are they next?

    Who knows? But FWIW, they were only named in the affidavit as an example of a site that offers online gambling. It just says that the Homeland Security Agent performed internet searches and found Bodog, Absolute Poker, Full Tilt, and Poker Stars. The Feds obviously knew of Bodog way before any of this went down.

    worst casse scenario on a lot of the offshore books, it takes a long time to get your money. if you are one of those who panics when your money doesnt arrive in 10 days then its not for you.

    processing electronic payments is the violation that these books and poker sites are guilty of. as long as they can get a place to process their funds you will get paid.

    Bodog definitely cut a deal with someone. Could of easily have been the 1st book busted, but they are gaining business as we speak. Would only put small amounts in a Sportsbook online nowadays. Find a local.

    Let me just say this. Becky has been nowhere to be found recently and now she pops up at this time to reassure us. Not good for Bodog.

    Everything is fine, and what do you mean by no where to be found? I've been responding to threads just as I have always been since the day I started? If you need my assistance, please send me a PM, it is the quickest way to get a hold of me, or you can always call CS because they are able to answer a lot of the questions posted on the forums. Apologies if I do not respond right away on the boards, I have another role as the Lead On-Site Reporter for CalvinAyre.com and am very busy traveling to conferences all around Europe (I am at the iGaming SUPER Show in Dublin right now, in fact!)

    Thanks,
    Becky

    Sorry, meant to share this article: http://calvinayre.com/2011/05/24/bus...bling-domains/. The .eu move is also in line with Alwyn's plans, so all works out quite well.

    Becky, you're correct. I've just seen many posts addressed to you lately with no response. After looking at your post history, after I wrote my post, you've obviously been posting regularly. Disregard that portion of the post. The rest stands.

    I love how they characterize this as "moving into new business areas."

    Bail while offshore books still have a few processors.

    Probably will end up driving 2 hours to Reno Nevada to place wagers and also play poker at brick and mortar casinos nearby where I live.

    Looks like we are being taken back 15-20 years all before online gambling took off.

    Thanks to the feds.

    are these issues with books only going to effect US accounts, or all, i.e european account holders?

    I can only tell you what I did...I took everything I had out of bodog love it there but its time to live on contest winnings for a while. Theyd also be better served offering reload bonuses for players if they want the crowd back
