ridiculous rollover requirement at bodog

[BodogBecky]

Yes I am Canadian. Thanks for trying to help, but all of my gaming and my ewallets are set up with USD accounts. It is very convenient for me and other options are really a pain. I am still wondering what the problem is for a USD account? I am sure most Canadian gamblers play in USD.

From finance:

While some players use eWallets which may be held in currencies other than CAD, the vast majority of our Canadian clients deposit using a bank account or CC. Being residents of Canada, these cards/bank accounts are held in CAD. By allowing Canadian customers to hold accounts in USD, players who fund their account by CC or bank transfer would lose out on the exchange (which are at the mercy of their bank), not to mention the fact that they would not have access to all of our Canadian deposit and payout options.

Hope this helps explain,
Becky

I am not Canadian, but i don't get how you can't have both? Many books offer several options for what you play in/with? just don't see why its either or for an individual player.

I would certainly wonder about this also.

Won some cash from the poker tournamnet and was very surprised to find out that in addition to the 5x rollover requirement, there is another trick. All my bets must be at odds of 2 or greater. Is that requirement normal within the sports betting industry or Bodog are being very protective with that rule?

whay dont you just play poker and withraw the proffits?
this is the only way to cash out

if with the extra points you decide to buy gift cards , make sure you also make the require roll over, since from the new ruling in place in February, all gift cards has a 4 times rollovers/
