All balances already transferred to bodog, damn if I would have known could have got the 15% bonus and then another 10% from bodog after the transfer

[jjgold]

Man that was quiet, only forum owner that knew about this was SBR

MW and EOG had no clue I have been told, 1st major usa book to close down

This is getting scary, not many places to bet anmyore

[jjgold]

Transfer was done over night to Bodog

Unreal


I guess the USA gambling law is much more stringent than anyone is saying

[freebie]

I got the same email from Bodog about transferring my bowman's account to bodog.

[LGBoots]

Im surprised at Bowmans pulling out of the US market. Far as I know they were a private company & not a PLC so can't see why they have done this

[jjgold]

Easy...........owners do not want to get locked up

This bill has lots of power

If a few more non public major books close its all over

[Dark Horse]

Spring cleaning continues. I got a super nice collection of books left! Next on the chopping block: Cascade. As soon as they drop low juice.

[jjgold]

Yes I think Cascade is next and will be bought out, owners want nothing to do with jail and I do not blame them, cash your chips in and run..

The bill changes nothing. They locked people up before and they will do it again

[Dark Horse]

I should have said 'my' chopping block. lol. I'm just enjoying the refreshing spring breeze on this beautiful low action day.

Could see Lenny move over to Pinny as a line manager

[Seattle Slew]

Just like Neteller, they announced after the legislation they would not alter business after consulting with their lawyers. Very surprised about this move. Not surprised neteller altered their stance, but very surprised on Bowman's.

It appears to be a 1 time rollover Owned.

Heres the details:

11.28.2006 (10:45 AM CST)

Bodog (SBR rating A+) absorbs Bowmans (SBR rating A) USA accounts. All transferred Bowmans player balances received a 10% bonus with a 1x roll-over that can be forfeited if the player prefers to withdraw funds. Players can now log into Bodog using their Bowmans account details. Pending wagers are expected to be imported to Bodog’s system in 24 to 48 hours. Players who also held a Bodog account will have their Bowmans balances moved to the original Bodog account within 24-48 hours and will have two active Bodog accounts until the consolidation is complete. Bowmans says the decision was influenced by their casino and poker providers, which both stopped servicing US residents, and their European bank refusing to support a US-serving gaming company. Bowmans will refocus on Canadian, European and Asian markets after cutting away over half of its client base.

[JoshW]

Unreal. And people said there wouldn't be much of a change with the bill.

[stump]

bullshit, i'm surprised at bowmans. i've played there since 1988 and then they transfer my money to a shit book like Bodog. its 4:00 and no NBA money lines, well my withdrawal request is already in, I am sick of this garbage

[jjgold]

I withdrew also

[DrSlamm]

isnt having a positive balance a requirement to make a withdrawal JJ?
