Bodog.com seized by homeland security

[Dark Horse]

The republicans rammed the UIGEA thru attachment to the safe port act.

Republicans are generally too ignorant to hold their own party accountable. If the Democrats plus half the Republicans would so, that piece of corrupt legislation would be overturned in no time.

how about seizing some Iranian nuclear weapons instead!

Just like all those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq

Governments are fukked everywhere.

I hoped the Occupy Protests would lead to the creation of a new political party

All the old people in Canada vote Conservative.

Conservative Government says if we don't support a bill for companies to track/monitor/keep all internet activity we are pedophiles.

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.

Geez Bovada, pony up.

Hey SBR leadership, are you publishing information that is relevant in order to help your membership understand this legal situation and how it applies to the industry? Do you produce these kinds of articles? I think this would help to clarify these types of situations in terms of how the industry, and your membership is being affected. If you do, could you point me in the right direction, im looking for a reliable opinion.

All this about is seizing a domain name. Nothing else. A lot of stupid bark, zero bite. Do you know how expensive a new domain name is? It's happened before, and may happen again, just to keep their little case in the news.

[dice]

I thought Bodog was a good book for squares.

[Ron29301]

If we make it legal then we're asking for trouble. We would really think the games were rigged. Keep it offshore I personally feel more comfy. I'm a sports bettor not a casino guy. Fudge the US government don't need to legalize anything.

No. They seized 75 bank accounts too.

[PAULYPOKER]

It is all about control,anything that the USA economy and government can not make a profit on is illegal.......

[Dark Horse]

No. They seized 75 bank accounts too.

Where?

US has no jurisdiction outside of US. Did Bodog have bank accounts in the US?


Remember when Beted/Covers stole everybody's money under cover of homeland security? lol
Ayre was all over that story.

Reported there:

More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have been frozen

This is US law, or in this case Maryland law. It doesn't apply in other countries. Do you think a US state law has jurisdiction in Europe? So I would strongly doubt the accuracy of that statement. Be sure to ask those mighty Maryland prosecutors in which 14 countries they froze those bank accounts.

.com is a commercial site.for business
.net is a network site
.org is an organization site mostly non-profits.

Is http://www.pinnaclesports.com/ safe?

I am in Canada and have used them for years. Am I at risk? I always thought Pinnacle was run outside of the U.S

As I said in the other thread, if you read the statement they are referring to to the poker sites that were seized last year: "The indictments follow federal prosecutions last year of three of the biggest websites involved in online poker. More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have been frozen, and authorities are seeking $3 billion in fines and restitution, in that investigation."

Scroll down to see the info in this article from April 2011.

Republicans are generally too ignorant to hold their own party accountable. If the Democrats plus half the Republicans would so, that piece of corrupt legislation would be overturned in no time.

Everyone who has been gambling actively since 2006 knows the republicans (actually 3 select republicans) are responsible for the UIGEA.

Kyl and Goodlatte co-sponsored previous legislation and tried to get it passed and were unable to do it. Therefore, they attached the UIGEA to the back of a 100+ page port security bill with the help of senate majority leader Bill Frist at the request of some religious nut whose son killed himself after losing all his money playing online poker.

If the democrats weren't so terrible, perhaps this would have been enough for me to switch to the other side. Unfortunately, there is no reasonable alternative with the democrats being so inept.

I'll never send another red cent to any political organization thats for sure.

Its also important to note that the democrats (Barney Frank) promised to overturn it and had 2 full years where they had total control of government (enough power to pass ObamaCare). There wasn't even the slightest discussion to overturn UIGEA during the first 2 years of the Obama administration.

The democrats don't give a shit about allowing Americans to gamble either.

haha I thought about that earlier this morning when another poster made the same mistake... was this little snippet included in this article in a sly attempt to capitalise on those who might not read every word or be that familiar with the particulars of the poker cases? It's pretty shock and awe and I'd hope whomever wrote the initial piece threw it in there just to beef up their Bodog article but it does make me wonder a bit. I'm probably just being too cynical though.

Shari please find out if Becky is ok...

I hope she's doin alright

Becky is an angel

I mean, I'm very familiar with the poker case and I made that mistake. Sure, it's just a domain seizure, but this one is all over the news networks. The vast majority of the public doesn't know about Bovada or bodog.eu and will assume Bodog is gone.

The art of fear mongering. A numbers game. If the majority of people in a country are too lazy to check facts, the population is easily controlled. Welcome to the US, in other words.

This story is intended to scare people away from online gambling. US has no legal power against Bodog. Publicity does have power.
