I've answered this question in the state of the industry section earlier Pico. Here is the thread that explains there current situation, along with my post regarding the situation below:

Quote:
I just now spoke with Gigi a few minutes ago, and she tells me that they are aware of the website being down. Their techs are currently working to restore the website, but you can phone in your wagers until it's fixed.

Here are the two numbers you can call: 800-429-7183 or 800-429-7213

I haven't heard of any complaint or processing issues about them sir. So I would have to assume there ok. In fact I have read a couple of posts that report positive feedback in regards to prompt payments earlier this month.

Pico, I really tried to get the scoop as to why the website was down, but they just kept dodging the question no matter how many times I phrased the question differently.

BBD,

i dont think anyone was intentionally trying to give you the run around as to the reason of our outage. they truely couldnīt give you an answer as our vendors could not provide us with the exact reason for the outage. as with any book in CR, when there is an area wide problem in CR it effects not only all the companies but most of the vendors as well, the problem last night effected both our primary and secondary internet providers and that was the reason for our site being down as well as our primay wagering lines being down, however our members were able to make phone wager through our secondary or backup wagering numbers. we will have a mirror site for a blackdog members this football season which will be hosted in another country and provide a seamless back for future problems in CR.

BLACKDOG may be a new brand but i am not new to this business, nor is BLACKDOG my sole gambling related venture. I can assure everyone that BLACKDOG is here to stay.

Fair enough, I will accept that answer sir. However, from what I could tell last night, all the signs of a Dos attack/Phone Jam type hit were taking place.

I was not easy hunting down a secondary number to contact your establishment, but I did come across one after searching high and low for it (took me roughly an hour ). As far as the mirror site goes, Please keep us posted on that project.

Call me crazy, but I have yet to hear any complaints about CreditWagering since they started up. All I have heard about is people getting paid, friendly service, ect....I'm amazed. I thought BlackDog would be the one to stand out when it came to the 2 of them.

I find it kind your comments entertaining as a least you got a hold of of us , but when one of your A books was on line there was no answer, do you want me to quote the post

I guess you missed all the complaints the 2 times they were down right before all the 7:00 action in baseball and the game with the Mets one Sunday night. I believe CW has been offline on 3 occassions if I remember correctly along with a few other A+ books in the last few months.

A lot of people have selective memory
