I have a good contact in the VIP section, he said the only thing seized was the domain names. He said by reports the banks that were seized were just for cards. They work with tons of banks. Outgoing payments are still good! Incoming deposits are still honored! No delay in payments.
Scum bags set up a fake processor and nailed them....Doesnt our govt. have a deficit to worry about??

Just spoke with someone at Bookmaker. Assured me my money is safe, and it's business as usual. Hope This true.Comment -
Reminds me how they seized Atdhe.net a few months ago. For those who don't know what this is, it's a site where live events are being streamed for free for everyone to see. A few days later the Atdhe guys just changed their domain to a non-American and the site is running smoothly now with no problems There is absolutely nothing the government can do else except seize domains! If they go deep deep they would freeze bank accounts and processors but most offshore books have now eliminated direct/*************** deposit/withdraw methods just because of this. What else can they do??? Give it a few months and things will cool down AGAINComment -
not unless they are breaking the law. Homeland Security has NO authorization to seize domains. there is no treaty giving them rights that ICANN currently has.There is absolutely nothing the government can do else except seize domains!Comment -
www.bookmaker.com worked fine for me... but I'm curious what lies ahead.

i hope somebody shoots the scumbags in gov't who are responsible for this B.S."Real fight don't start till round 13, in round thriteen ya asshole locks up, ya balls get tight, and ya don't wanna go another second, that's when the real fight starts"- Mike MccalumComment -
will be at least 8 months until bookmaker stops paying. they wont even slow-pay for months, they will claim to be as strong as ever this month. still about a year left in the online industy. the USgov will make a few thousand of their elite buddies millionaires overnight with the new US based books that come out. lines will be -120, no bonuses, no way to win.Comment -
it is up for players to stand up to this. use the Internet while you still can.Comment -

what happened to my last postComment -
www.bmaker.ag---works. was told that betmaker will be up with alt adresss in 24 hours. still logged in to betmaker from a few hours ago. cannot log in to them now. still able to place bets, they of course are assuring on the phone. every thing will be back to normal. we will see. when matchbook left i should have cashed out. hard to give up something like this. been doing this many years. like watching a friend lose a battle with a terminal illness. hope he makes a recovery. but,i doubt it.Comment -
Geeezzzussss didn't know we had so many international law scholars in here. Really people are commenting on the legality of this? Like you ppl have a fukkin clue. Read the affidavit it clearly states since gambling was taking place in MD and funds transferred to MD that they have the right to seize those accounts. It states due to probable cause (stating a previous case) they have come to the conclusion that the processors and sites were violating a law involving online gambling and money laundering. Bookmaker has the right to move it's server and domain name to something different but as long as they continue to fukk with US players the Govt basically said we know what your doing.
If BM/Cris wants to continue this lil game the Govt is going to win until Cris decides to shut down its US customer base. Consider this a slap on the head for BM why they can still process payouts and deposits they will slowly pull the plug on the US players stating that "there are no deposit/payout options". If they want to get around it your gonna have to jump through hoops to get $ in and out of the books.Comment -

Niners are you a lawyer?Comment -
Oh, so an affidavit gives them the authority to violate the treaty that formed ICANN. An affidavit gives them the right to nullify Article VI of the US Constitution.Read the affidavit it clearly states since gambling was taking place in MD and funds transferred to MD that they have the right to seize those accounts.
my point is this is illegal. It should be of great concern to players here.Comment -
No sir.....I'm just saying it seems pretty cut and dry. They have a CI deposit $500 onto a few sites gamble a bit, withdraw and nail the site/processor. BM or anyone for that matter will never be able to stop from getting set up time after time. This is a little slap basically saying get out of the US. BM will have a good poker face but follow suit. It's not worth the legal fees to realize when the game is over already.Comment -
what are you still proud of. i haven't been proud of anything we have done anywhere in years, many years. we are just the biggest bully on the block. nothing to be proud of. belive me i want to proud to be an american. as i once was. but anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see how much worse we treat our own that are in need,compared to years ago. never mind how our government treats others. either situation-----our leadrers are assholes. and we have to take responibility for putting them there.Comment -
To think a 3rd world government (
) will even give a shit about fighting this on behalf of the books in laughable. Usually these countries main revenue source is either some sort of farming or tourism. I'm sure the online bookmaking scene isn't doing anything but giving them headaches, especially since most arent even regulated.
