Bookmaker statement on domain change

**GuybrushT** · 05-24-11, 01:05 AM

Guys, I don't understand this situation, do I have to be worried? Unfortunatelly, I just made a bigger deposit at bookmaker few hours ago. And only now I've received a mail from them, let me know about the domain change.

I haven't been worried until seeying this thread. I think that I cannot ask a payout, because I haven't bet my deposit at least once (as I said, I just made it few hours ago).

Don't know what to do now. :/

P.S. I have also funds at Betcris. If I'm not wrong, they are related with Bookmaker. Is Betcris also risky now?

You should be ok. I believe them (Bookmaker) when they say they are fine right now.

I don't get it.

**louis** · 05-24-11, 01:19 AM

The domain name - bookmaker.com, and betdsi.com, they are both working as normal right now, at least for me. They are no longer bringing up the Homeland Security message. They were bringing it up earlier, but things seem to have gone back to how they were. This may just be temporary, and tomorow the Homeland Security message may reappear, I don't know.

**Nats' Fan** · 05-24-11, 01:19 AM

Been trying to log into their new domain.*(bmaker.ag) Unable to. "Website not found". Now I'm a little worried.

As I see on this thread, 99% od the posters doesn't believe them at all.

I thought CRIS didn't take US players

If you're not in the US you have nothing to worry about.

**louis** · 05-24-11, 01:27 AM

bmaker.ag works for me, so does bookmaker.com. My guess is it takes time for the address tables to be updated, but soon bookmaker.com is no longer going to work for anyone.

I'm from Europe (and I use Euros to fund my accounts). You want to say that only US players risk?

Yeah this only affects US players. But they are still operating and taking US action anyway, I think everything will continue as normal.

sportsbook.com or
betus.com
or some other non-paying sites

They are not paying ---> no need to use proccesors ---> legit business

So if I understand, Bookmaker itself is not at risk, the US payments are a problem?

Trsut me, there's people out there that can do so

Yes Bookmaker itself is not at risk. The problem is the potential of them no longer taking US players and other books doing the same, but unlikely.

I wouldn't be too sure:

Eleven bank accounts were also seized in the United States, Guam, Panama, Malta, Portugal and the Netherlands.

I don't understand how the US can seize bank accounts in other countries but if so who's money is safe ?

**barcelonafc** · 05-24-11, 02:24 AM

bookmaker are fuked, the feds are after them and will catch them, if they can seize shit in other countries then they wont last

Not too concerned about that. There will probably be things that change but they will still be around.

**barcelonafc** · 05-24-11, 02:28 AM

books will HAVE to stop taking us players

they are seizing bank accounts in other countries so they can basically do what they want, no book is safe now and I think these books have to pull out the us market.

the fbi read these sites so we will see how long bookmaker's new website lasts.

**barcelonafc** · 05-24-11, 02:30 AM

the usa can do what the fukk they like, they went into pakistan without permission, they can seize what they want cause everyone sucks there ass except the chinese, russians, north koreans and cubans.

**barcelonafc** · 05-24-11, 02:32 AM

this is not an over reaction either, how can a company boss risk there business and employees? just not good business to be in the usa, sorry to say this as the yanks need there books.

**fury** · 05-24-11, 02:35 AM

Too much money involved. There will always be a book that operates in the US.

**Monte** · 05-24-11, 02:35 AM

Pinny made the correct decision light years before everyone else, as usual.
Either these books fancy living the life of outlaws, or they pull out as well

Doubt they will be able to seize the .ag domain.

What other countries? The US has no jurisdiction there. The only legal cases we have seen are where people were picked up in the US. That's it. Unless I missed the latest development.

OK. read up on the latest news and its poker related. No surprise there. http://www.portfolio.com/business-ne...#ixzz1NFfTkDPe

Of course, the fascist US takes all sorts of liberties with jurisdictions, but this seems to be clearly related to the poker court case. As such, it can't spread beyond that. So even if Bookmaker domain was indeed seized, that would not hold up in court. US is walking a very fine line. And Bookmaker is back up.

**barcelonafc** · 05-24-11, 02:53 AM

they have seized bank accounts in other countries if you read the bookmaker thread, the us can seize what they want. gambling is illegal in the us and if theres an overseas company allowing us players to gamble then u can bet the feds will get them, who are u trying to kid, the us can do what they want where they want, u tell me who will challenge the us????

**Dark Horse** · 05-24-11, 02:58 AM

Stop spreading fear when you don't have a f*cking clue what you're talking about. The bank accounts were seized under a court order related to the poker court case. The US can not go into other countries as they please.

The funny thing is that the poker sites were advertising all over US television, and had separated themselves from sports bettors because they thought they could legalize the poker action. So their high profile worked against them.

**fury** · 05-24-11, 02:58 AM

barca unless they seize W.U and M.G we will still be in the game.

**barcelonafc** · 05-24-11, 03:01 AM

spreading fear? are u that addicted to gambling?

People here have a lot of money in those accounts.

So unless you know what you're talking about, which so far you don't seem to, why don't you just shut the f*ck up?
