Can't think of a reason to play here-
1. Horrible software
2. no rakeback
3. Live support/customer service is a joke
4. 5% charge on CC deposits
5. poor structured tournaments
6. no P2P
7. no sync breaks
This is my last email correspondence with Bodog. A summary of my dealings with CS. First they send me automated email stating a 5% charge would be applied to CC deposits.Then we exchange these emails.
Me- I regret to hear that, I'm sorry to say that if my balance I have now runs out I won't be reloading(can't justify it). That is unless the traffic/guarantees increase. I'm very sorry to hear the bad news,Bodog.
CSThank you for contacting Bodog Poker Customer Service.
We do understand your concerns with regards to the surcharged being added to deposits made using Credit Cards.

Thats really not necessary. I deposit by credit card everywhere I play for free and because its very convenient for me. Now when I look at this list of complaints,it has me thinking why go out of my way to play here when I don't have to deal with these issues at other sites.
1. Poor software quality(very buggy)
2. No sync breaks
3. Low guarantees/ Poor schedule
4. My experience with live chat has been horrible.When asking basic questions about poker,the agent has rarely(if ever) been able to answer my question without a major hassle.One example- I had a basic question about the 100k sattelite schedule. It took 45 min to get an answer, 2 different agents and both telling me different things. The first person was rude and very unhelpful

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues making a deposit using your credit card. Most credit card declines are the result of your credit card issuing bank restricting this card's use for online gaming transactions. Please note that although you may be using a debit or check card, the transaction is still processed as a credit card deposit.
Alternatively, we also offer MyPaylinQ and Digital Pin as deposit options.
MyPaylinQ is an eWallet much like eWalletXpress or PayPal which allows you to instantly transfer funds to your Bodog account. Funding your MyPaylinQ account is easy using MyCheQ, your bank account or cash. A great feature of MyPaylinQ is that when you fund your Bodog account using this method, you will also receive payouts through this option as well.
To take advantage of this new option, and to find more information about opening an account, visit:
www.mypaylinq.com
In addition, one of the deposit options that may interest you is Digital Pin. This method is guaranteed and available for instant deposits 24/7 online. This could be a great alternative if you are not having success with your Credit Card. To open a Digital Pin account, visit:
www.digital-pin.com
We sincerely hope that you will consider this information in making your choice and that you will continue to choose Bodog as your entertainment site.

And yet you wonder why people are leaving. DID I EVER SAY ONCE THAT I HAD TROUBLE WITH A DEPOSIT? DID YOU EVEN READ THE WHOLE EMAIL? What a joke.
CSThank you for contacting Bodog Poker Customer Service.
We understand that you were having some difficulties in making a successful Credit Card deposit. As you have been made aware of, most of the declines are due to the restrictions that are being enforced by your bank or card issuer which we do not have any control of. This goes the same thing with the 4.9% Surcharge Fee that was recently imposed on Credit Card deposits.
The previous emails that were sent talks about other deposit options that are available to help you make your deposit. You have the option to choose whichever is the most convenient method for you other than using your Credit Card directly.
Thank you very much for writing. Should you have any questions, or require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I love how you ignored my complaints about the site....again. The story of my dealings with Bodogs "top customer service" team. IF you notice I ONLY was commenting the reasons why I wasn't redepositing. I also believe I stated in previous email why I didn't want to explore other deposit options. So if you actually read the email you would now that,instead you send automated response about alternative deposit options.

This is very laughable. OK I ONLY WAS MAKING A COMMENT. No need to call you or anything. The only reason I responded was because it was VERY OBVIOUS my email wasn't properly read. Your customer service proved its incompetence to me again and only makes my decision to quit playing there stronger. Well played Bodog C.S.
