Bodog under pressure

[Dunbar]

Bodog has been getting intense pressure from the US gov--$24M in bank accounts has been confiscated.

see: http://www.gamblingiq.com/forbes-fed...ayre-possible/

SportsbookReview.com has dropped Bodog's rating to B-. It was "A" rated for years.

If I had money there, I'd think seriously about withdrawing.

dunbar-

any info on full tilt poker? i've never had problems withdrawing until the last few months. they've disabled all forms of withdrawal other than check and my last 2 have taken 6-8 weeks. others i know have had those checks bounce (not my experience but have seen the emails from full tilt acknowledging the problem.)

they are blaming the issues on a "processor" when they communicate at all.

never had any concerns about them until this started. hate to leave them but i can't keep any kind of bankroll there.

have you heard anything?

wow.

didn't read the article before i posted the question. the last checks i received was drawn on a major u.s. bank.

if the feds are targeting u.s. based assets that could make things very difficult. i really miss the days when you could just netteller and epassporte transactions.

we really need a new administration. these guys have no sense of humor.

I miss the days when you could use PayPal! (before eBay bought PayPal and "cleaned" it up.)

(sigh)...

those were the days.

it was all so easy back then. paypal and partypoker. i swear i almost made enough online in 2001 to think about doing it full time.

then wpt and espn made everyone a bad tempered table coach. now the average players are better but just as ill mannered. people couldn't just shut up and cash.

PokerStars is still okay... a withdrawal from them was processed promptly recently.

No, I haven't heard anything, but I haven't been playing Internet poker for over a year. I just now took a quick look at the 2+2 forums and the Poker forum at bj21.com, and I didn't see any mention of problems at Full Tilt. (Someone did refer to their shoddy communication, though.)

At both forums, Poker Stars and Full Tilt seem to be the sites of choice, and no one is reporting banking problems. (at least none that I saw in my quick look.)

I'm still mad about them shutting Pinnacle off to US customers last year. For sports bettors, they were the best- period- not to mention rebates on horse wagers.
