Bodog changed to .eu. Don't think they can touch it now.

Yep, from OP, QuadJacks has definitely lost my respect. Of course, its a tweet, but are they offering money if they are wrong?

They should definitely offer a prop bet to back the slings they are throwing.

It's basically the same as all the people who've been trolling threads around here saying the same.

QJ was ok at the beginning, but now unfortunately about 80% of it is complete s***. It's pretty simple really: they don't have enough material to talk about and they don't have enough qualified people to talk about it... It's only good when they actually get someone from within the industry to give an interview. But listing to these other doofuses "theorizing" about the current and future state of IP is -EV imho!...

Why on earth would any DOJ/Homeland Security person leak this to a poker source? Not happening

Just saying, myself and a few other players have had our most recent Merge checks bounce.

The skin I play on only allows for $2500 checks, and it is taking on average ~4 weeks from time of request to actual cash-in-hand per check, assuming they don't bounce =\.

I doubt it could be because of insufficient funds though with all the new sign ups. Honestly though, who knows!

I assume there are no sources to back this claim on QJ's?

Even if this is true, how is this alarming to you? Pretty standard if you ask me.

not alarming to me at all, it was bound to happen soon enough, but im sure there are a few people out there that think that merge/bodog were free and clear.

Yeah, and not to sound harsh but what kind of ignorant idiot would think smaller sites would be safe from indictment after the DOJ pretty much sent a clear message to the big three who were doing business with US players. It is a play at your own risk approach after black friday, I know this , I decided to load up a small amount on a merge site knowing all well that there might be a 50%/50% shot I might get that money down the line when I'm ready to cash out. Honestly all this speculation and attitude like it is "breaking news"....cmon give it a rest.

it's called being logical. I'm not agreeing with OP, i said even if this ends up being true, how would it be shocking in the least that merge and bodog went down?

THE REAL QUESTION IS:

What ****ing idiot would give up there dream, passion, freedom, hopes and desire because of a bump in the road. Then come on twoplustwo calling other idiots based on an event that hasnt happen yet. You sir our a drain on the twoplustwo community, everyone in this thread is now dumber having listen to you, I award you no points and may the poker gods have no pity on your soul.
