I created an account on Bodog a few weeks back. I uploaded $50. I played Poker for 2-3 hours.
I was going to try and get serious about learning Poker again, but I realize that I really don't enjoy it very much. I've decided to pursue financial trading instead.
So I request a withdrawal to my bank account, the same account that I used to deposit my $50. I then decided to wait and think things over longer before I move the money off. So I cancelled the withdrawal and waited for several days.
When I tried to withdraw my money again, there was a "minimum withdrawal limit" of $3000 placed on the bank transfer option. I figured maybe it's because I requested 2 withdrawals in less than 7 days, though I cancelled the first one so that doesn't really make any sense.
So today I open up my email and I see this:

I remember downloading the Bodog software once before. Whether I created an account or not? I don't remember. I've created a lot of accounts on various Poker sites, so who knows. I didn't have an account listed in my Password Manager for Bodog, so I assumed I never created one.
I certainly know for sure that I never uploaded money to Bodog before, as I'd remember the process. I've always used Instadebit to upload to Poker sites, and that was not an option for Bodog when I uploaded money recently.
I have a feeling Bodog is trying to scam me now because I am trying to withdraw my money so early. They won't make a profit on me, and maybe even might take a loss since I'm withdrawing so early. Pokerstars wouldn't pull this ****, that much I know.
I suspect that my account being disabled is going to prevent me from getting my $50.00. I can't understand how "other accounts using information similar to mine" would have anything at all related to my $50.00. They can go ahead and disable my account. I'm fine with that. I just want my $50.00 back (The actual total is: $48.72)
