So in the middle of all this Full Tilt Poker Bank accounts being frozen and unfrozen I get a tip from one of my sources that a few more online poker sites are on their way down. In my blog which I wrote on May 19th I expressed my opinion for all Americans to CASH OFF any online poker room accepting Americans. It was a bold statement however todays information sure backs up my statement.

We are looking at a 1 to 2 week timeline before we see something happen to the online poker room and casino Bodog, who we have been told the DOJ has been trying to shut down since the Forbes article written on Calvin Ayre with the title “Catch me if You Can”. Its no surprise that they are looking to shut down Bodog and again I will express my opinion for all American players to cash out now, before its too late. I also have some information regarding Merge, which is pointing to something happening to them in the next 30 to 60 days (so August ish) and again just CASH OUT now while you can.

Last we had Tony G give us a call after I sent him the link to the story from eGaming on the Full Tilt Poker bank accounts that were froze being unfrozen today. Tony came on the show for around 20 mins and gave us his take on the Full Tilt Poker Bank Accounts Unfrozen today, which was that it is a great sign and he feels we will be paid by Full Tilt Poker 99.5% now. He also said that he feels American poker players whose bankroll is tied up in one of the Frozen Full Tilt Poker Bank Accounts will be paid back in 45 days. Tony also said that if Full Tilt Poker does not make a public statement in the next 24 to 48 hours then they have not been in contact with their customers at this time of need. I feel that the announcements being made with websites and blogs and poker forums has to stop, its time for us to see a Full Tilt Poker announcement ON FULL TILT POKER and from a name we can trust. At this point each day, each hour we are losing trust in a brand which has so many HUGE names behind it who we have always trusted.

I will try to be on later tonight, however during my normal time, poker pro Vanessa Selbst will be on for our Poker Strategy Segment so maybe I will jump on after listening to her. Hope you all enjoy reading my blogs.



Also, his claim a few weeks ago that FTP was trying to sell shares of the company for $200 mil appears to be corroborated today. Not sure how reliable this source is, but take it for what you will.

This would surprise me. Ayre has his ducks lined up pretty good now after being #1 on the hit list for a while.

[Intuitive_Edge]

Yeh.. catch 22 situation but i was thinking of pulling out what i had this weekend regardless of what i heard w/ bodog. Shit is really annoying to say the least. Full Tilt is scum period.

[donkdown]

Just bump it in 2 weeks is all I ask!

[donkdown]

IF SBR has any wind of this and are not telling the players then they r as bad as covers! Noway they didnt know the Bookmaker seizure was going down!! Hell Doyle knew he left April 24th!!

They just seized a URL from Bookmaker calm the fukk down

[donkdown]

Keep telling yourself that Fury!! Has anyone in the USA been paid by Bookmaker since this happened? Some ppl waiting 2 weeks for payouts that b4 took 4 days!! Bookmaker is one of the books tht can afford to get there accts froze and pay you!! BoDog has the money also but I want u to go baCK 2 yrs when BoDog was taking 60 days to pay ppl!! It's coming again!! Stay tuned!!

The whole BetEd fiasco is skecthy at best, thats all i know.

[KKoz9]

Bodog already has switched domains to .eu. They have no other ties to US and i'm sure they have their payment processing squared away...be suprised if they are affected in any way, aside from of course limiting bets from US players.

[donkdown]

Grover u want to bet on this??

People already posted on SBR that they were paid from Bookmaker after it happened.

I don't really care about Bodog. They already changed their address to bodog.eu so they probably do know something is coming.

[donkdown]

the 5dimes guy was the only one and he's full of shit!! US players only

[donkdown]

Im not here to argue about this. I pray this guy is wrong but his track record is to good!!

[Degenerate]

I think Doyles room just got seized aswell.

[donkdown]

At one point was not BoDog and BetEd in the same offices? Not that this has anything to do with this but I think they were!!

[donkdown]

Also BoDog invented using Shady Processors!! I one time had bought $1565 worth of women clothing from somewhere in Malta according to my cc statement

[jgilmartin]

I think Doyles room just got seized aswell.

Happened the same day as Bookmaker/DSI/BetEd/FunTimeBingo/etc.

[louis]

Why do you think bookmaker would stop paying people? Do you think they want to punish their players because their domain name was seized? The US did not seize their money, just their domain name.

Everybody on the Yatahay Poker network which included D/R

I never said that!! It is one thing to want or able to pay and not have a processor to do it!!

[Dabeergod]

Requested a payout just in case. Don't wanna regret it. Thanks for the info pal.

I saw the report for FT/PS stating everything that was seized. Has there been an official long paged release for this and not just a small statement ?

[donkdown]

Louis Bank Accts also were seized?? along with the K23 processor which 100% was owned by Bookmaker!! Bodog doesnt have as many options as BM, if they get there payment processors seized then u will see what happens! I mean they just started paying in a timely manner over the last 1.5 yrs!!

[fury]

There will always be a way to pay.

[no1here]

They are all going down. Merge checks are bouncing. I don't believe I will ever see my UB money but might see my fulltilt funds eventually. Bodog is a good site and will be paying. SBR will be forgotten a year from now if that long.

[SprayBoy]

Will this affect canadian players in anyway?

[EmpireMaker]

how are you getting ahead of these actions donkdown ????

[Extra Innings]

Makes sense....actually may face a bigger problem for trying to unload shares.

It's a shame we can't do one of those X bets on Matchbook and wager on this.... SBR will be here and things will be fine, if not better once things have been sorted out.... SBR is here to stay, you better believe it. If there is another site we can post up and do the X bet thing, lets do it.... Any amount you want...

[ttwarrior1]

alot of cake networks have stopped accepting usa players. Power poker i know of for sure, for now

[Cuse0323]

I hope Bodog goes down in flames.

[Boner_18]

The biggest risk these books all face is the drop off in deposits and surge of w/drawls. It's inexcusable to say "well there might be delays because of the timing" slow pay is a slow pay is a slow pay.
