    sending gambling payments via the us mail is a big no no, so if you call understanding the law stupid, you should really consider who´s stupid here

    Bodog is fast compared to latin american mail carriers. I wouldn't send anything important with them.

    Accepting bets from the US is illegal, so why stop there? Do you just selectively break laws?

    $37 would rank low on the importance scale to most ppl, though in Latin America that may be a weeks pay so who knows maybe it would get swiped, but since it would only cost the guy 2 bucks I think he'd be willing to take that chance.

    It's not illegal in Costa Rica.

    Last time I checked Costa Rica is not part of the United States.

    I agree, a 2 dollar check is ridiculous, why not just let him wager the 37 bucks, how is it going to hurt Blackdog by letting a customer do business with you?

    Because the US gov't does whatever it wants, irregardless of whether it's justified.

    It doesn't fit the terms of the promotion. Sure it's just $37, I'd let him bet it just to avoid anymore hassle, but I see what the purpose of their $250 free bets is, and it's not just to give away money.

    I know that the purpose is to drum up new clients as well, but why not do like every other book and have them post up THEN give them the freeplay, giving them the freeplay without posting up and before they qualify for a credit account is doing just that giving away free money. So if you're going to give away free money at least let the guy bet it, it's not hurting you now that you've given away 37 dollars in free money might as well let him bet it if he wants to, this forcing him to cash out makes no sense especially when the cashout fee is 35 dollars, I mean the guy is essentially losing 35 of his 37 dollars anyway to get the cashout, why not let the guy bet if the money is legitimately his? Just consider it like an account with a 37 dollar balance

    They don't want to take the risk that he turns the $37 into $3,000.

    With 5 straight $50 wagers only, the max they can lose to one person on this promotion is $250. They apparently think that is justified by the new business it will bring in.

    I guess so dury, I mean hell I dont see why this 37 bucks is any different from any other 37 dollars in bets they would take, I mean they are clearly out 37 dollars either way, why not do it the way that pleases the customer and makes him think you're a decent standup book, it doesn't matter if the guy runs the 37 into 37 million they are still only out the 37 free money they gave him, all the bets he won from that point on were real bets with his own money.

    he knew the rules of the promo going in. a decent stand up book does exactly what its rules and policies say it should do. we don´t change our rules to benefit the player or to benefit us. we simply do exactly what are rules and policies say and thats not something you see a lot of in this industry today.

    Yea that's true, it's in the rules. Seems like a waste of 35 dollars to send someone a 2 dollar check thatll cost them more in gas to deposit then the check is worth, but alright fair enough it is what the rules state

    Not only can I confirm that they pay out, but they called me on the first Monday of the month to verify my payout and payout method. First class service as far as I am concerned. not trying to be a shill, as I also have outs with Bookmaker, Sportbet, and Heritage -- but Blackdog has been great to me.

    My only complaint about them would be limited offerings, no 6 pt three or more team teasers (only the 2 team 6 pt, 3 team 10 pt, and 4 team 13 pt), and their lines are not available as soon as other books.

    Otherwise, as far as customer service goes, A+.

    Agreed.
    I've recieved two payouts from them.
    One ** and one fedex (free of charge) and they were both sent within 24 to 48 hours.
    Boys, this a top notch book for people looking to have FUN gambling (i.e. $100/bet).

    BlackDog is a solid book , I know their Operation and they pay people out like a clockwork this CHITOWN dude was just in it for the freebet and thought that by bringing it to the forums all rules would be broken for him.

    In the end Blackdog is a solid out

    Cause for some people US law is valid for whole world. forgotten?

    just a small piece of relation to some US-stuff is enough.

    example: If i would do some businesss in Italy with my italian partners - if i use a US bank for some transactions during that business, they (Feds) can admit US issues. Even if it the whole business was done outside of US and no US citizen is involved. And if this business is legal in Italy but not in US - i might have a problem during my next stay in the States. Sure - they would not always mind, but the principe is the same.

    On one side this strengthen your beautiful country on the other side....they tell me what rules are valid in my house........

    Chitown was clearly in the right, Blackdog thought he was Mitch Hedfield and tried to mock him.

    Books gain clientele through good customer service, you sir are awful

    Please let me know what other books you will ever be affiliated with so i can avoid those after this book fails

    You sir are absolutely incorrect. The customer service over there is great, you clearly haven't played there. Not to mention the rules of the promo were clear as day..if your up you can get paid or become a member.. it does not say you can continue to wager the bonus it was a test trial stop acting like there not letting him use his money its there money they gave him to test the software with. just my 2 cents

    for a guy with no credibility you really like to jump into these bd threads. i will put the same challenge to you as i put to the other credit book touter before.

    i will bet you 10,000 bd will outlast and out perform that book that pays you to tout for them.
