Anyone else received the following email from bodog.co.uk ?

I was under impression that bodog does not really care about local regulations, since they offer service to USA folks

I hope i'll be able to register to bovada now...

I got the same message and it confused me too.
I don't care about bodog but I was afraid some kind of legislation thing is going on in my country that would make other sites follow suit.
I hope it's just a bodog thing though

What if you have less in your account than $10/whatever other denomination? Can you not withdraw that?

Could you ask for clarification about that?

Roulette imo, can't really expect them to issue checks for < $10.

Isn't that akin to stealing? Unless there's some clause in their EULA or TOS that explicitly states "in the event of discontinuance of service..." I can't imagine it's legal (definitely not ethical) to say "the money in your account isn't worth the time/cost to us to repay you, sorry about that". Isn't it similar to a bank telling you they're closing branches in your state and if you don't have X amount of dollars in your account, tough luck?

I've never used Bodog/Bovada so I don't have any vested interest either way, mostly just curious.

Double or nothing. =) you lose nothing and only gain since you lose the <10 bux anyway

bully666 what country are you from?

I got this email too. Im from Slovenia

I got this:

Thank you for contacting Bodog Customer Service.

Here's an idea...deposit to get your balance over $10 and the withdraw the whole amount. If it's not that important for you to do that, then you can't complain IMO.

Looks like their finally packing it in christ why do i have an odd feeling merge will be next.

Bodog is going down the tubes and yet they stubbornly stick with their Recreational Player Model.

Yup, looks like there will be zero ways to play online in the US now, although I refuse to play on Merge or Bodog/Bovada, I worked to hard grinding for it to be in limbo for a year or so.

Is it closing for all players that play there or just those outside of the UK? Won't there be other ways to play on Bodog?

Bovada hasn't said nothing to USA players, I stake someone there, he hasn't received any emails yet. I think they are just closing the .uk version to certain countries. I have a account on Bodog (I'm from canada) and I haven't had any emails either. Maybe their looking to transfer more countries to the bovada platform.
