Default Trying to play fair/clean

took a break from betting a couple years ago, back now and just opened an account at Bodog. i had used it before but had no idea what my previous account username/password was so i just opened a new one with my current email address. Could this cause any problems later during a withdraw attempt?

PS - sorry if this question is placed in the wrong forum or just stupid. as you can see im new here

This is asking for a headache. Contact them before sending any money. Tell them your situation. They will probably locate your old account.

if you deposit with a new account, you might be accused of "bonus hustling". Many books will seize all winnings if you open a second account, and claim a bonus.

They will likely de-activate your new account within the next 24 hours.

I just called and stated my concern. i was told my account is fine with no problems. i even asked to make sure he couldnt find any other accounts in which he confirmed i was fine. no way they could still screw me later could they?

A couple years ago I opened a second account there and it was flagged instantly after depositing. Worked it out quickly, with no problems. A couple weeks ago I asked for account# and they asked "which one" and then consolidated the accounts no problems.
