Didn't miss a beat?? They were taking 60 days to pay ppl!! Well John said it is safe so maybe this guy will be wrong this time. John if Bodog does get seized can we expect lengthy delays in getting paid??

This works once. Now all the books will switch away from the .com's to something the Feds have no control over, like Bodog just did. (changed to bodog. Eu)
Keep in mind when they grab a domain name is like taking the address number off your mailbox. They only get the name not the site. So the books will switch to an address outside of their reach.Comment -
I said bookmaker didn't miss a beat..try reading the post before posting your nonsense every two seconds..take a deep breath and calm the **** down.
Bodog had delays because they had payment processors get shut down and bank accounts seized. See this is nothing new dipshit, it's happened before and only things players noticed was delays in getting paid and they were all paid.
Only thing new here is websites getting redirected to government warnings scaring schoolgirls like yourself who then claim it's the end of the world as we know it.
And the fact that so many payment processors have gone down in the past kind of pokes holes through covers argument that Beted had every dollar seized. It's BS, they made a business decision to close down and take whatever money they had and run. Stick with books that also have a big international business and want to protect their name and reputation and you have nothing to worry about. Bodog is big enough they aren't going to disappear like a fart in the wind with palyers money. And the fact that he government has had bodog in their crosshairs forever now what makes you so sure something is about to happen NOW. I'd think if they had Bodog they would have done something already..but even if they do something by August like you claim I feel confident that worst would happen is payment delays to American customers I don't see anyone getting stiffed.

They still paid them, sh-it look at beted im out $300 and may never see that again. I dont even know what to say to u man ty or wtf cause this is causing me inconviences right now, but we gotta wait and see. But u just heard it from sbr john as they have no jursidiction out of the country.Comment -
Has anyone else noticed that Bodog switched their domain from .com to .eu? They even sent an email stating that they did so in case there was an "unforeseen" interruption.Comment -
I agree with this theory. I don't think it's time to worry yet. I also agree with jjgold... BoDog had issues years ago... how they continued to do business was beyond me? Changing the .com's should work... and if it doesn't for whatever reason... then it's time to worry. Furthermore, if TheGreek or 5Dimes goes down... TIME TO WORRY people...Comment -
just makes me sick people have occupations of trying to screw poker playersComment -

BOOM!Comment -
Sorry guy, I said bookmaker didn't skip a beat thought you were replying to me. I also thought you were the one who was calling for Bodog to get seized, guess I'm the one who should have been paying more attention. Missed the part about you just relaying info about the other guys blogI wasnt responding to you. I was responding to SBR John?? U guy's act like Im hoping this happens?? I'm just passing on info from a guy that has called everything right since Black Friday!! I also hope this does not happen!!

The only difference between the last 3 years and now is that authorities are using their new ability to take .com domains, which we first saw with the pay per view tv broadcast sites which are now back up on new domains. The big impact with sportsbooks is their search engine traffic is going to be effected. Sportsbook.com is probably the most worried since they never had to worry about their brand, playing fairly, or advertising before.
With Beted...it seems the authorities did them a favor. Processor funds get confiscated all the time but books push on and get that back in a short time. Normally they limit their exposure with processors like a player does putting up to a 5% wager in. With BetEd, they might have been too small to spread out.
By the authorities taking their site, BetEd can say... well look, as you can see, it's all these guys' fault!! They took it all! They have all your money. Losing their domain has nothing to do with not paying players.
We know of some long-shot fixes in the works here. Maybe BetEd will have enough to work with to do the right thing. A very big long shot.Comment -
This is quite different then before and SBR does not need to say otherwise. There should be big concern here as the industry dissolves completely.Comment -

Sigh. Keep telling yourself that Fury!! Has anyone in the USA been paid by Bookmaker since this happened? Some ppl waiting 2 weeks for payouts that b4 took 4 days!! Bookmaker is one of the books tht can afford to get there accts froze and pay you!! BoDog has the money also but I want u to go baCK 2 yrs when BoDog was taking 60 days to pay ppl!! It's coming again!! Stay tuned!!
US can only seize domain names; not books outside of the US. How many times does this have to be explained to you?
In the case of Bookmaker and Beted there was a payment processor set up as a sting operation. So some funds were frozen.
So what you're saying makes zero sense. In your fear you forget to think and instead prefer to spread more fear, so your lack of thinking doesn't stand out.Comment -
even SBR has been infected being forced to stop freeplays & sportscash but within here they imply nothing is wrong. One by one we are watching gambling sites and money processors go down but yet we need not be concern. I have already lost hundreds but need not be concern. Top sites are gone, merge is bouncing checks, some cake network sites are now refusing USA. I am very much concern.
If bodog becomes history shortly and then either Merge or Cake Network, can we then have permission to be concern?
I will bet that this will happen if anybody cares to.
Who here truly believes that this is over and will not happen to another. They are dropping weekly if you care to look.Comment -
unreal.
Offshore sportsbook operators that target the US do not enter this country; unless they are looking for trouble. SBR is not a sportsbook, but has to watch out for changing attitudes within the US. In case they wish to visit or live here.
The US does have a problem, though. It makes it very easy, for those so inclined, to crack down on a population, when that population is one of easily intimidated, thoughtless cowards. I have never seen a population so used to giving away their power to authority. It is very un-American, and very prevalent.Last edited by Dark Horse; 05-28-11, 06:52 PM.Comment -

Instead of panicking for something that hasen't even happened why dont u just keep your guard up. Honestly look at the whole situation from the big picture starting from Janaury. How is "its over" if u just analyze everything that has happened, i mean for u guys to say this would have to mean that they have dirt on every single book that is out there. There hasen't been 1 case out of anything that has happened this year without one of these books or poker sites getting busted from either not a snitch or not dealing with the feds. I want everyone to realize that all of this happened because of 1 person who was stupid enough to come into this country, then they nabbed him and got him to talk, well guess what everyone thats why all of this occured because he new everything inside and out about all these company's. The stupid black Friday crap fu-ck that sh-it if it wasn't for him tilt and stars would still be servicing the U.S. and all of this bogus sh-it would not be happening. So for all u dummies who say this is done need to actually do some research and figure this out.
Now if a book starts dealing with the feds directly then they will eventually have issues.
I have to say that if they have jurisdiction to take these new domains that are not U.S. then i will really worry, but everyone that talks about this new way seems to be real sure that they cant get the domains and it does make some sense if u think about it.Comment -
Good God! What is going on here?! Looks bad for U.S. players now!Comment -
Everyone should withdraw their money from poker related sites.Comment -
Bodog seems to be ready for any attempted "seizure". They have already changed their domain to .eu. Hate this place, but they are safe. The ".com" domain gave these books some legitimacy. Now they will have to earn their legitimacy. This is a good thing.Last edited by louis; 05-29-11, 02:40 AM.Comment
