Hey guys,

I have nothing to report ATM. But when I know something, I'll let you know.

Tough times for us on-line grinders so please don’t think I’m not aware of that as I make this post. I haven’t even posted about the fact that I made my first deposit in over 2 years on stars just 2 days before "Black Friday" and didn’t even play it yet, was gonna try to satty into some SCOOP events. It wasn’t a large deposit and while I hope I do see that money again some day, I understand the bigger picture so no need for me to gripe about it.

But what has me absolutely irate this morning is that Bodog changed the structure of the 1K Super Stack tournament that is held at 11:00. It seems like it is now the same structure that they use for the $3 750 GTD’s which absolutely sucks. They are taking a tournament which is supposed to be a super stack structure and just turn it into a turbo once it reaches the money at 18. Not sure when they did this as I only play this on the weekends but I know that I final tabled the tournament 3 times in the last month (1st, 2nd, and 3rd thank you very much) and it didn’t have this stupid structure. You would only notice it when you get deep and it tilted me so much I just busted 12th.

So once again, I do understand the on-line poker community has bigger problems right now but Nate, you think you could tell Bodog to switch this back, it really does suck!!!

Poker has nothing to do with the charges and for everyone believing its "money laundering and fraud" just LOL. They wont touch bodog. Just like they wont touch any sports books that are making a shit ton more than FTP/PS

What sportsbook that offers bets to the US makes more money than pokerstars does/did?

These sportsbooks have been operating onine alot longer than these pokerrooms. Sports betting is the most popular fourm of betting in America and pokers not even close to it. Sportsbooks are killing it but obviously they are paying under the table to the right people or they are owned by the right people, one of the two.

Still doubt they make more than stars does.

I requested a check by courier about 11 days ago. I haven't received it yet, but I'll post here if I receive it. I'll also post if it bounced. *prays to Christ it doesn't bounce*

Check by courier 4/10 recieved today let you all know if it clear!

I have always like Bodog. Good thing I still have a little bit of money on there. Looks like I will be putting in a ton of volume on there now.

I received a check from bodog about 8 business days after I axed for it fwiw. It hasn't bounced after being in my account for over a week.

Thanks for the info. Just wondering-is the check directly from Bodog or a payment processor? Don't need to name the processor obv but just wondering if they are obviously trying to disguise it as online poker winnings.

2) At the 7 stud game, the size of the cards needs to be increased at least 25%, their seems to
be plenty of room to accomodate this.

Otherwise the games play smoothly, the support is very good, and there are always at least low
limit games spread. If they improve the fees and graphics a bit, they can grab a huge market
share at this juncture.

They need to have breaks at 5 till the hour every hour like all other sites... soooooo annoying...

Unofficially, just from what I have read on here and whatnot, aside from a couple bounced checks and banks not honoring some deposits, things are going smoothly. The number of deposit/withdrawal issues seems to be at the base-line pre-black friday level.

If you are having issues, don't fret. Bodog has always been good about getting this stuff sorted out and taking extra steps to keep their customers satisfied.
