I guess your right Bob. However, I challenge anyone who is using a HUD right now on Bodog to honestly say they don't feel a tad scummy about it knowing that everyone else at the table thinks its anonymous and no HUDS.

It isn't just US Players on Bovada. I'm outside US and had to switch to Bovada. I'm guessing everyone in Central, South and North America are on Bovada.

I thought it was just the US because of what Bodog Becky said. But I guess I should expect nothing less from such a good person as Bodog Becky. She answers every question and is a true example of customer service.

Yes, I suppose, although that question has come up soooooo frequently.

I'd be pretty surprised to hear that, but I suppose it's possible. Seeing as you're the first person to post this, and Canada is one of our biggest traffic providers, I'd think it was more likely that an error forced you to switch.

Check this out, Becky sent it to me and I posted it in one of the threads:

"So you can see that Bovada.LV is really just all about fun and the planned future expansion into Latin America."

The software is quite trendy and retro. It gives you the feel you are playing on poker software from 1998. Slow, laggy unresponsive many times, just like the old days. I think the first sites I ever played on were faster actually.

So why does anyone even play there then? There are much better sites out there than that.

reliable cashouts

I just deposited a small amount to test the games out and am in awe of how soft they are at the moment, I'm struggling to understand all the hate.

Is it just that the software is so annoying? I mean, of course I'd prefer faster/more reliable/more user-friendly software but considering the lack of options to US players I'm more than willing to take what I can get. Am I missing something?

Sure there is the potential for collusion with the anonymity, but there are ways of making money on this site. Is cashing out an issue?

I opened this thread to see if everyone else felt like it was Party Poker '04 again (and I mean that in the best way possible) but apparently not.

Could anyone clarify?

And the above just proves why Bodogavada will never have issues getting customers. They can release the most security flawed, bug ridden software and shun their solid customers, but guys like the above will notice what they do, ignore the rest and Bodogavada will have a customer base that goes on and on.

Interesting. So that covers Latin America, but I've still heard nothing about Canada.

There's hate literally dripping from your post.

I understand that by playing on the site I am implicitly supporting their decision to provide an inferior product.

That said, in my opinion, we're simply in limbo right now waiting for new legislation which will force them to shape up or ship out to survive in the marketplace.

During this period of transition I am looking to exploit whatever soft games are available with the goal of making my bank account larger.

To that end, I have found Bovada to be a very lucrative opportunity thus far. I am simply asking if there are any issues that I have yet to encounter which may alter my current perception of the potential profit to be made there.

Can you please a) provide a response which furthers the dialogue I'm trying to start, or b) explain what exactly it is that makes you so upset?

I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm a longtime poster with 10s of thousands of posts on this site (this is simply an alias I felt was wise to use) so please tone down the condescension, I'm not a rando donk.

Thanks and look forward to your response

Hate wasn't directed at you, but yes, there was hate dripping from my post. I've been a loyal Bodog customer for years. They've ignored constant complaints about bugs for 4-5 years, insisting that the problem was on my end, my internet connection, my firewall, whatever. They had such basic flaws and basic bugs that it was obvious they were never intending on fixing them.

Then they come along and say oh wait, we're going to have the greatest software release ever, it will fix all the bugs, and will compete with the biggest online sites.

The software they released is actually worse than the original. I'm not even bringing in the anonymous player issue here. I'm talking about standard bugs that should never make an alpha release, much less see a customer base.

From there we go to the anonymous player feature. They implemented this and swore that a unique ID did not make it down to the client. This was disproved within 2 days, and then they lied about "fixing" it.

Now, on top of all this, Bodogavada execs released press releases, blog posts, and forum comments making fun of their loyal customer bases and flat out saying they didn't want any of their business. Did you read that? They don't want winning players on their site. Links to these articles can be found in the Bodog thread, but trust me, they're there.

So yeah, there's hate in my post. As a long time player I've called Bodog my home off and on since 2005 and feel like they just handed me my stuff in a box and told me to **** off. Which, they actually did.
