Bodog's response

[XxPenguinxX]

Dear xxxx,

Thank you for your question. We are aware of the recent Internet gambling legislation passed by the U.S. This bill still has

Regardless of the outcome this time, the online gambling industry will continue to flourish and Bodog.com will remain at the
front and center of this digital entertainment industry for years to come.

You should take comfort in knowing that Bodog.com is well situated to adapt to any change in the legislative environment.
Bodog.com considers online gambling to be legal under international law and complies with the laws within all of its
jurisdictions where it carries out its operations.

We would encourage you to consult a legal expert to ensure that you are properly informed about local, state and federal laws
with respect to online gambling.

You may care to know that Bodog.com has been in business for more than 10 years and was the first online gambling operation
licensed in Costa Rica. Bodog.com is now also licensed in Kahnawake and by the government of the United Kingdom.

very lovely. though i never thought i'd see the day that i'd have to settle for software that is worse than party's.

[DeNutza]

F*CK THE POLICE!

[FastForward7]

No huge surprise from Bodog. Well, that makes 2 that have basicly told the government to go to h*ll. Score two for the good guys.

Bodog's software has the best layout, IMO. It's very functional and easy to use without all kinds of extra bs. I love the tabbed tables, its so much better for multitabling.

Frankly I'm offended that you think partpoker's bloated software is better in any way.

ok...props to another site that's showing some guts...

Interesting. This is slightly different than the reply I received from them (and posted here) Sunday evening:

That key sentence is missing in the reply you posted, so I detect some hedging on their part in the last 12 hours.

Not really.

[mike4pokermoney]

I don't see what the problem is and how the US can interfere even with this bill passed. What are they going to do find out where guys like Calvin Aire and Lee Jones live and hunt them down and dig them out of a cave like they did with Sadaam?

This offends you? WTF. That miniview tabbed crap at Bodog was the worst software "upgrade" in the history of online poker. Do a search for Bodog threads in the zoo and you'll find that probably 95% of the posters in those threads agree.
