Becky, how do you sleep at night working for such a company? The employees of Bodog would have fit in nicely in the Third Reich.

I'm glad I passed on the re-up bonus they were offerring over Thanksgiving and decided to deposit elsewhere. I was already concerned about the new ownership/management coming down the pipe, this is just more reason to find a new home.Comment -
The problem is the party line for all online poker rooms and sports book and 100% invalidation of statements like these (or those like "all player funds are held in segregation") only come after we (the players) get screwed...
Regardless if "you" (meaning the persona that gets paid to tout their company's position) realize it or not online poker as a whole was greatly hurt recently by various cheating scandals... Since none of these would have been uncovered without player name's and access to their past hand histories in this case it seems that most players think that Bodog's strong reputation takes second place to the player's losing their only mechanism of independent verification of a gambling site's fairness...Comment -
well saidComment -
There has been talk about allowing temporary player notes of some type. I believe they will have feature soon.Comment -
This all you need to know about the players they want playing Poker at BoDog.

Spot on. Bodog will block accounts from playing on the same table if they ever log on from the same computer, but there are so many ways around that and to have multiple accounts. The way most cheating scandals are uncovered isn't through the company or site, it's through players who have hundreds of hands of data. Now that's impossible to get. I'll mention the bot ring again. We knew who they were, reported them, and nothing was done. How are we suppose to trust that collusion will be prevented when little or nothing was done when we knew the screen names?Comment -

and when we did report they would say they are checking into it but due to privacy rules,cant say anything,,,which means to me is ,its happeneingComment -
Haven't read the thread, but F bodog's reputation it is now 100% shit.
CEO of the current company behind Bodog.eu is a Mahawk spent 12-years as a Kahnawake advisors. The owner of Absolute Poker / UB is a fellow big shot in same circle; he's the former Grand Chief of Kahnawake. All the insider cheating scandals happened under the watch of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
Under ownership of the Mohawk elite UB management did everything in their power to thwart investigation, cover their tracks. They NEVER admitted to anything they were not already caught red handed on, they lied multiple times and had to back track once their guilt was proved beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt.
Anyway's last time they were caught this time can be smarter about it (was HUGE money before they admitted I think to stealing $40 million - although blamed it on someone else) had to be a HUGE loss in income. So now a famous member of same tribe heads up the rollout of the first ever "we can cheat and you'll never know it ah-ha-ha-ha-ha poker room".
Man I was completely freaking out - until Bodog Becky showed up and said "don't worry - we won't cheat". If I didn't know any better I'd have suspect this is "the most f'd up software and idea ever" and was designed to cheat. Now that Becky has clarified that associates of black market weapon dealers (terrorist shit) can be trusted - because she'll vouche for them I feel a hell of a lot better now. Thanks Becky for putting my mind at ease.Comment -

guys , just never play there again, they are the scum of the businessComment -
good luckComment -
Fine if you choose not to play at any of the bodog licensees, but calling them "scum of the business" is completely inaccurate. I've been in the online gambling industry since 2005 and am fully aware of the excellent reputation that the bodog brand licensees have plus I know all of the execs personally.
If you ever have any issues receiving a payout, please call CS and if CS is unable to help to your satisfaction send me a PM and I'll speak with a Senior Manager on your behalf. As you know within the US there are industry wide challenges with payouts due to the US laws and bodog.eu does the best they can to get you paid out as quickly as possible.
Thanks,
BeckyComment -
Bodog is still a book to stay away from though.Comment -
Bodog is the scum of the business and bums of the business. Anyway you cut it, Bodog are frauds and you will have to pull teeth and threaten them just to get your money. I say stay as far as hell as you can away from them.Comment -
You can disagree with Bodog's decisions on how they handle poker and sports betting all you want, but they have fast payouts (and in this day in age its one of the fastest in the industry) and good customer service. I've cashed out with them several times this year and have not had a problem they didn't fix. This summer, a payment was lost in the mail and I had a new one on my doorstep the following week. If I decide to go to Merge, it will take 4-6 weeks to receive a payment. That's the one of the main reasons why it's tough to leave. So while you can have a legit beef on how they run certain aspects of their business, payouts aren't one of them. You'll get paid.Comment -
Bodog is scum, they played a big part in bringing all these troubles that we have now in the US with gambling etc.
Iam not surprised by anything they do, ******* Ayre asshole.Comment -

BeckyComment -
Hate the new software............Comment -
i don't think that is con't work for the either two or three person.Isn't this the worse thing they could do.how the hell do we know those are real players and not robots.they seem to be getting worse than betterComment -
I can't, but if you can play a shortstack, this place is now your paradise. Can get up and sit right back in with a less amount.Comment -
hard to play card there noe it seems like that if you get a high pair like qq/jj another person has aces everytime something is up with thatComment -
never had a problem with bodog paying
I think the new poker rollout is LAWL bad and I wouldn't ever play it but I have to say, as far as the sportsbook and payout goes, Bodog has paid me out multiple times this year and very quickly each and every time. That's one of the reasons I like them for sportsbetting.
As far as poker goes though, ah no thanksComment -
I'm surprised Scamdog is still up and running.Comment -
This crap is par for the course with them. How many other books deal worse lines depending on betting tendencies? That would be completely illegal if they were licensed in Las Vegas. Even worse, on props they will sometimes only let you bet one side. Say it's Brady ov/un 31 completions and might be ov -130, un +100. Greek is dealing ov -115/un -115. Bet the over and after your minute long delay, the bet goes through. Bet the under, and after the long delay it says "sorry, the line is now -115!"Comment -
