Bookmaker statement on domain change

[thezbar]

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.

Don't hold your breath on that one. The democrats won't legalize this type of gambling any time soon.

[John Dough]

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.

FWIW, online gaming is actually a top source of revenue behind only tourism in some "3rd world countries."

Dont be so sure nexxt thing you know Obama will have a Barreled In tax credit for all you assholes losing you're lunch $$

[BernardMadoff]

How is this any different from what any other book does, doesn't seem to be.

[Kindred]

this isn't as bad as the poker sites, bookmaker won't close shop and fold. Since WSEX was prosecuted everyone knew sportsbetting was illegal.

The fact that domain names are so easily seized is outragous. So much for the internet being the last bastion of freedom. Now when we tell China they shouldn't sensor the internet for their citizens we are the hypocrites. China isn't seizing domain names, just filtering the internet for it's own citizens. Not sticking up for china, but what our government is doing is worse. The age of the internet being a place where free speech and free markets lived we will now have each country carving up their own internet and controlling what their citizens can do or see..and say.

FU Feds

John Dough I would like to see those stats.....I'm sure one country it is top but they probably get more aid from the US than they make off of the online gambling.....

[treece]

i feel safer having my money in bookmaker than having it in a bank.

Buy local

Play local..

The end is near

It's legal to bet on ponies and give money away to the state-sponsored lottery but you can't bet on the result of a baseball game. Unfukkin real.

[Legions36]

I think they can only touch the .com

[jjgold]

probably a few guys had agent packages and they traced it to bookmaker as they banked in usa
no biggie

[alling]

wow unreal how many polly annas think its business as usual. tell that to the online poker players. dont think for one second that the government will give the sportsbook a pass.

It is but only in Nevada n Delaware. I would rather they just regulate it in the US. This way I don't have to talk to some foreigner when I'm pissed at the sportsbook. It's a billion dollar industry they aren't going to shut the door on it completely. Weed and gambling biggest revenue streams that the US will dig into once China stops funding our country. Lower the debt with taxing people's vices. It won't be a fast process but it will happen.

[Lint Pockets]

i dont see what the problem here is, i just signed into the regular bookmaker site with .com and its working fine.

[Smoke]

Lot of guys won't be renewing their SBR pro status if they live in U.S.

The affidavit:

Basically the Feds set up a sting operation where they created a payment processor and got deals with CRIS sites as well as BetEd. Other sites did not use the payment processor and as such are not charged in this case.

Sport-bet.net

Is this a joke?

[Smoke]

Bookmaker and DSI will not survive if they continue to do business with U.S. players

Looks like the FBI sending a message to the entire offshore gaming world, if you do business with people in U.S. they will come after you.

Meanwhile pinnacle sportsbook is laughing.. They have no worries.

Game over for USA..

[Doc JS]

Is this a joke?

doesn't feel like one...

It is a legit mirror for CRIS sites.

[OnTheRise23]

[Legions36]

A bunch of losers we are dealing with.

Looks to be about $0 for Costa Rica.

Not hard to make more than that in gambling income.


Yes it's true when something like this happens there are always dozens willing to pipe up and say "business as usual."

And for every one of those there is about 20 screaming "this is the end!" (again?)


The biggest threat right now to Bookmaker is not the nuisance of their domain being seized, or the smattering of bank accounts that were seized, but rather customer panic causing a "bank run" on player accounts.

I am moving Overseas **** the US

[SBR_John]

It seems .com addresses will be replaced with country specific extensions which are not subject to confiscation by the US. In a few months all the books will have something other than .com.

yeah it is, thanks

[vyomguy]

Still the books cant use US banks and processors. Have to be purely ** and money gram.

How do you think this compares with the crackdown on Poker stars, Full tilt? Is our money safe in Bookmaker?
