Bodog's response

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

Thank you for your questions. We are aware of the recent Internet gambling legislation passed by the U.S. This bill still has to be passed by the executive branch of government before it is enacted into law. It is definitely our full intention to continue doing business with customers in the United States. (emphasis mine)

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.

Bodog.com is committed to openness and transparency, and we thank you for taking the time to write to us. Should you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at any time.

Our highest priority is to offer you a safe and enjoyable wagering environment.

Best Regards,
Bodog Customer Service

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.

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?

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

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.
