    Thanks Lou. Sounds like a fun contest.

    One question. If you won a bodog contest from here would that count or do you need to have an actual deposit from yourself? Thanks sir.

    I've clarified the wording. So long as your Bodog account has one deposit made in its history you're good to go. If it doesn't then a deposit of any amount prior to placing a pick in this contest will allow prize eligibility.

    I asked earlier. Would this mean a deposit from yourself or would a deposit from SBR work such as making the final table in the Bodog tournaments count as well?

    Contest winnings wouldn't qualify, players would need to have sent Bodog a deposit prior to the contest beginning to be eligible, or have had a deposit made to Bodog in the past.

    Why do you need to enter a Bodog account for points? They closed the accounts for all the players from my country few months ago.

    Last time I sent Bodog a deposit was around 5 years ago, does this qualify as a deposit for the contest as you said any deposit to Bodog in the past? Been a while as I have only made deposits at A+ books like BetJamaica the last few years.

    Why just Bodog for? I thought maybe you would have others that would interested. I heard it is hard to get money out from them recently. I might be interested in this but I am kind of shocked that other accounts haven't been included in this contest except for one.

    I know but MexicanStallion with Bodogs problems lately and only having a C rating sure has me concerned if I would be able to make a withdrawal out from them. It would not be worth it. I was hoping it would be a better book than Bodog.

    Bodog is rated A-. Over the past year+ they've been upgraded a couple of times after getting a handle on processing issues that effected US customers, the rest of the world was always fine at Bodog.

    Thanks CrazyLou. I noticed that also that they have been upgraded. I think I was looking at something else on the sbrodds that showed me that is bad. So I can trust them then I will probably make a deposit so I can get into this contest? I think so now. Thank you for your help on this one.
