The ongoing federal pressure to disrupt Bodog's financial transactions may be bearing fruit. Carrow's affidavits say several checks issued from Bodog to its undercover gambler bounced

Default Bodog's Response

Good afternoon,

An article was recently released on Forbes.com that creates several misimpression's that the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group feels compelled to clarify for our customers.

As most of our customers already know, all operators outsource payment processing functions to third parties and these payment processors are subject to regulatory constraints wherever they operate, and, occasionally in the US, are subject to legal action because of the uncertain legal environment there.

However, the seizure of funds from these US payment processors was mischaracterized in this article, which refers to two specific legal cases against US processors. Rightly or wrongly, the article does not make a clear distinction between these cases, which, as a result, paints a misleading picture.

The facts are these: the first of these cases – relating to a seizure of funds from a processor known as JBL Services – happened some time ago and has absolutely nothing to do with the current payment processing challenges being experienced in the US. The constraints being experienced by payment processors in the US are universal in that region and not specific to any particular processor or site. Also, note that not one single player failed to get paid when this processor was disrupted.

The second case refers to a payment processor known as Zippayments.com and seizure of funds from this processor’s bank accounts in Nevada. The article falsely implies – but notably does not go so far as to state - that $9.9M seized from Zippayment’s Nevada bank accounts were funds on account for “Bodog”. This is simply false.

Processing partners with whom the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group does business are sophisticated organizations that are perfectly clear as to the actual facts of these cases and their contexts. They are unfazed by such media hype and Morris Mohawk wishes to ensure that its customers are similarly informed. Customer deposits are safe and every player has and will always be paid.

First the last check I received from BOGUSDOG was from ZIP Payments so maybe not exactly $9.9 M were Bodogs funds but Bodog was using Zip Payment so there were some Bodog funds seized. Just another manipulation of words from the liers at Bodog.
Now they have the following statement to cover there asses as far as delayed payouts to collect more interest on your money. I'm still waiting for my payout approved JUNE 4TH. I'm closing my account with these arrogant thieves headed by the head arrogant thief CALVIN. Here is there open ended statement that allows them to pay you whenever they want and tough crap if you don't like it.
"This delivery timeframe is only an estimate and may not reflect the actual date you receive your check." The current timeframe is 40 business days which ammounts to 2 months or more. This timeframe is subject to change depending on Arrogant Calvins dictate.

Slow payouts would not even be an issue if not for the dumb****s in Congress. Save some of the hate for them.

Letseee now.... There's a "Catch Me If You Can" article that dares uncle to do just that. The U.S. government obligingly turns up the heat and some Bodog betting account holders are concerned they're not getting payouts in a timely manner????

IMHO, they should be grateful they're getting them at all. What do BODOG and other off-shores contribute to our industry?

They keep players in outlawed internet states (which there are many) intrested in the sport which is better than a outraged bettor saying screw it and finding another avenue of betting, which many have done anyway I suspect. The laws and ADW wars are archaic and prevented what could have been a boom decade for the sport. Industry leaders along with un-sympathetic state courts are the ones to blame.

When a track exec complains on the surface you can say he is right....then on closer review you will see that said exec has horrific takeout rates, doesn't market his/her product very well, and caters to slot players over horse players.

When Geary intruduced 4 percent take Pick 4 @Ellis Park. I walked into casino and tried to support it. No can do for Nevada (no commission for them). I play into phone accounts into totes for a bit too, I also go to fair circuits like Flagstaff, Kingman, and Elko, NV. I'll go to Santa Anita once or twice a year. Oh, rebates ! Tracks won't do that either.....I see where one can blast off-shore but it is not a black and white issue, it's really grey matter in my opinion.

I must like the sport or I wouldn't go to the lengths to be involved. I live in a mecca for gaming but feel inclined to put money into International pools in countries that are much less better off than ours but yet let me play in their track pool, free pp's, and live video on the website.....what a concept.

It's really amazing the amount of growth and revenue racing missed out on during the time online gaming companies grew from nothing into billion dollar businesses.

Since your Bodoggy bets aren't supporting our purse or breeders accounts, I can't get worked up that they're not supporting you either. But, cheer-up, think of them as a donation or maybe a tax write-off....not. LOL

What could they? Our industry can't even allow full state to state wagering. Opening signals to international interests would blow their tiny little brains.

Owners care, you should, too. If off-shores give way to stateside "legals", a percentage of the handle goes to purse accounts. It helps keep your sport alive.
