    Legendz, what laws are they following?
    I wanted to sign up with Legendz, but I cannot. They keep telling me that people from Denmark are not allowed to wager online. They gave me long lectures about how they could get into trouble taking my action. Problem is: Gambling is legal in Denmark, I am allowed to wager online. But I cannot convince Legendz that they are mistaken....

    If they dont want my action, no problem, but insisting that they would love to have me as a customer, but sadly cannot because I am not allowed to wager online... Ridiculous

    Obviously they dont want your action. From what I have read in the past, very few books want Denmark players action. They are traditionally bonus whores and very sharp.I have also heard they had figured ways to beat online casinos. I am not saying all Denmark players are this way, but obviously things must have happened for a book to refuse the action of any player. Good Luck in finding a book.

      Books are stupid.

      Years ago, some guy from Denmark wrote an article about taking advantage of casino bonuses in whatever language people in Denmark use... Then a bunch of Danes beat a bunch of casinos... Now casinos have caught up and have updated their offers and the whole world knows how to use a bonus.


      Blocking Danes now is stupid.

        Have you tried thePig?
        But seriously there are prolly 20 or more books that offer more value than Legenz, the only reason to play there is indeed for the bonus. The lines are at best boring and the juice is usually high.

              Indeed - the time when the Danes were banned/restricted was the time when the casinos were giving away no-risk money hand over fist. Just so happened that word spread like wildfire about this in Denmark rather than anywhere else in the world - if they hadn't picked up on it first, it would no doubt have been another country. Now the money is relavtively a lot harder to come across, I doubt that the Danes should really be restricted any more than any other country.

                True about casino money, lots of bonus money went to Denmark, although I can honestly say that the times I have played at an online casino can be counted on one hand.

                Of course I am taking my action somewhere else.

                Beggars cannot be choosers, very true, although I wanted to try them or the pig out. The point is, if they dont want to take my action, that is not a problem, other books have told me that up front before and I do not make a big deal out of that.

                But I just think it is hilarious that they tell me that the laws in my own country prohibits me from being one of their customers, and that they have no interest in correcting this error. Furthermore it gets crazier when they admit that they prefer US customers, cause they sure are not allowed to wager online according to national laws, and to use their own words, they definitly could get into trouble for that. Legendz did not see anything humorous in that comparison though.

                    Yes I tried pinnacle and cris, thank you for your suggestions though!!

                    I found somewhere else, the problem is not finding a book, just thought they were being very strange.

                    Did any other Europeans experience the same thing?

                    Italians, Germans, Russians...?

                      Might not be popular, but if ever person who signs up from a book is a bonus whore or angle shooter, tough to not eventually considering all action from that country. Same with city and state, which some books have done.

                      That said the "legal" argument is really funny coming from a book that based its business on illegally taking bets from the US for years.

                        Ah I am so happy that someone sees the irony here.



                        I estimate that half of the books out there have restrictions on Danes, I don't object. Just don't understand why Legendz dont say so out front, or is that is not the issue, why they choose to leave out lots of customers because they misunderstand national laws, and refuse to understand....

                        I begin to understand what makes them Legendary....
