Default Does Bodog allow Canadians now?

if so, when did that change?

I never understood why Bodog let Americans in and not Canadians.

As far as I know Rob, Canada residents are still not accepted. Now as far as why they can't accept Canadian residents goes, I don't remember the details of that off the top of my head.

As far as I recall Bodog had significant assets in Canada and they didn't want to risk any scrutiny by the Canadian Governement over gambling.

Due to jurisdictional legalities, we are unable to permit residents of Canada to open an account at this time.
AS you can see they are still not accepting bettors from Canada and deal with Mohawks didn´t change anything it seems.

Someone could update the ratings and add CANADA to the list of countries disallowed!

What do you mean? Don't the ratings clearly show Canada is not allowed but USA is? This is common knowledge as our buddy Ayre had some trouble with the Canadian government at the time Bodog opened.

I could be wrong, but look for that condition to change in the very foreseeable future.

It wouldn't really surprise me if that actually happen now that the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group is associated with Bodog these days.

Bodog's listing shows Canada as a prohibited location. Can you link to where you are?
