bodog leaving US at year's end

[Oksana]

they are changing the name like cris changed to bookmaker so they can continue to advertise as bodog in europe.

I get the sense that some posters are going to leave them once the name changes if not sooner. Even though MMGG ran the book for 5 years anyway, it doesn't seem like the average poster was aware of that. And unless someone comes out and explains that MMGG's licenced by the Indian gaming commission or whatever it's called so it's not like it's a startup book that could possibly pull a dodgy in the middle of the night, not everyone is going to understand that. I'm not going to be the one to explain it though - that's Mohawk's job. Or even Bodog's.

Sounds to me like you're calling the Kahnawake tribe not dodgy.

They're as dodgy as any other tribe I'm sure but the Gaming Commission would have to be legit. There's no way they could've handed out 50+ gaming licences or survived the UltimateBet drama unscathed if there was anything stinky about them. So if they handed out the licence then I'd assume MMGG has its shit together, even if the licensing system is actually a buddy/buddy kind of deal.

The "gaming commission" is just Alwyn Morris giving an aura of professionalism to his criminal organization.

SBR, a watchdog?

That this industry is able to exist at all is a fucking riot.

I guess we'll just have to disagree on that one. After I read the Superior Court of Quebec's court docs about that case in '07 where the Commission denied someone's gaming app and the guy (a Mohawk) took the commission to court, I think they're pretty legit. I can't see a company like Paddy Power going to them for a licence if there was a lot of dodgy shit going on. But maybe they're all slimy foks, even those in countries with strict gambling regulations like Ireland. Could be.

no. I'm still trying to find a good strategy I feel comfortable with to know when to increase my bet size. Need to figure that out first before I bother reading other stuff.

you?

I wonder if SIA sent that article into the Financial Post. It was posted on the main SBR site a few days ago. Surely their journalists aren't scouring gambling forums so they must've.

FF doesn't really think it's worth the hassle b/c he has heard that most people get booted after 10 bets.

Is there any offshore book that actually caters to US players living in the US anymore?
