Has anyone received a post superbowl cashout from bovada? I'm still waiting on mine.

The domain has plethora of links to it from other websites and when visited it redirected the visitor to the correct brand. CalvinAyre.com can pass it off as strange no big deal but I'm sure this seizure stung plenty. As far as why seize it, actually was used to an extent, just in recent months (not years) as a redirect to cover there ass should it eventually get seized.

bodog.com was seized a long time ago....bodog.eu is where US players went...

your good. Bovada isn't in danger, the name was seized months back and some guy just made a thread now for no reason.

So if that domain wasn't even being used anymore, then what was the point of seizing it?

it was being used. to re-direct player to BOVADA.. so that way all people in usa searching to bet sports would still hit google number one BODOG and then be redirected.. now they lost 1000s of new sign ups per month im sure.

I'm guessing the person who started the thread saw this - http://calvinayre.com/2012/02/28/bus...y/?sf3316060=1

I don't use Bodog and never have, but I saw that posted on another forum and the blog is dated today, which makes it look like it was seized recently. If it was months back I'll take your word for it.

The USA should tighten the string as much as possible ....Obama knows the benfits of online
gaming run by the USA for the USA's benfit... Why continue to let the underworld bleed us dry by stealing. Make it legit its better for all of us.

**cant call it** · 02-28-12, 10:18 AM

Make it legal everywhere so we don't have to export the bookie work to someone in another country. Support your hometown, become a bookie today.

I don't agree that it would be better for all of us.

I kind of like the fact that as a result of taking so much risk, the reward is completely free of any fees in excess of the withdrawal fees.

To think that I would be taxed at the ordinary tax rate for risking my money is insane.

There should be a new tax law on gambling related income. Gains should be taxed at no more than 10%.

As of right now, if we lose, it's "tough luck". But should we win, everyone has their hands out. And to make matters worse, everything you do through an internet account is recorded, even the smallest of winnings.

You can walk into a casino, win a few thousand and no one even has to know about it.

so....calvin ayre was indicted too.

Gas is inching closer to $5 a gallon, the housing market is still shit, and kids are still getting shot up in schools. At least we're being protected from placing a bet online.

Uh oh.

**Legions36** · 02-28-12, 11:08 AM

They already planned for this to happen, so they were aware of everything. Thats why they have no money from it. All they have is an old domain name that is not even in use and of course a few indictments which these people dont even live in the U.S.
Wake up guys our government is screwing this country up in every way, how much needs to happen in all aspects before people do something?

I requested a payout last Friday from bovada. I'm now worried. when did you make the request and are you in the States?

**Bovada Service** · 02-28-12, 12:09 PM

We are aware of both the seizure of the domain Bodog.com on Monday and the indictment against Calvin Ayre released this morning. Please be assured that neither of these have in any way affected the operations of Bovada and it’s very much business as usual. The account details and funds of our players remain totally secure. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us at 1-888-263-0000 or service@bovada.lv.

Still would be nice to know if anyone has received a payout from them recently.

Gambling is sinful, just ask Sen. Alice Forgy Kerr, R-Lexington.

On voting no in the recent vote on casino gambling in Kentucky :

"I don't care what the other states are doing," said Sen. Alice Forgy Kerr, R-Lexington. "Why would we jump off this cliff into darkness and sin and addiction? This is terrible public policy."

how about seizing some Iranian nuclear weapons instead!

Seizing websites is a lot cheaper and easier than all-out war.

No, Bodog.com was not seized until this week.

It just stopped being used months ago aside from being a redirect.

But please play our daily lottery returning 50 cents on the dollar to the sinful player while benefitting our seniors and creating all kinds of jobs for those who administer and market it. This is great public policy and your government hard at work.

No Hypocricy here

**Bcatswin** · 02-28-12, 01:12 PM

On the front page of CBSSportsline.com . Whether Bodog really used the address now or not, this isn't good publicity.

**flyingillini** · 02-28-12, 04:38 PM

Have you seen the guys with Bovada tattooed on their backs? They were up on the site when they first opened.... Pretty funny stuff.

Does this mean that Bodog will not be sponsoring the poker tournament at the Bash?

**mighty maron** · 02-28-12, 04:48 PM

The republicans rammed the UIGEA thru attachment to the safe port act. Instead of taxing it, the govt is of the opinion just to seize accts when they feel like it.

You can blame the US govt but when you cant elect enough people (or even have enough people to run) to get online poker taxed its sad. So much tax money that could be made but when stand on whatever right wing morals are of the moment.

**mighty maron** · 02-28-12, 04:51 PM

This is the funniest thing...watching pokerstars today either in the 2K NLH cap game or the 25/50 plo ring game there was a player from Afgahanstan...figures...usa so sad
