    Does one have to worry about the fact Betonline passed from .com to.ag ???

    Hi everybody. I have a Betonline account and recently their URL changed (from.com to .ag). I don't really understand what it means and what the reasons of that change are, i'm simply wondering if i should worry about that change ? Is it safe to continue using Betonline?
    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Of itself, no. The US has been seizing bookie .com domains.

    But they will remain in Uncle Sam's sights so long as they service US players so you are taking some risk playing with any such book.

    I don't live in the US, so does it concern me ?

    Nothing to worry about for you unless you play poker and win there. They try to steal winning poker players money almost weekly.

    I don't live in the US either which means I can use all the world's genuinely best books. So why would I take the risk of playing at lesser books which are in Uncle Sam's line of fire? They are a law unto themselves and seizure of funds isn't out of the question.

    Many books are changing domains; nothing to worry over and nothing changes from a player perspective.
