I went to deposit on bodog and there was not a neteller option. Anyone?

Were you trying instaCash? It has been blocked for USA clients.

bodog has decided NOT to accept any and all incoming NETELLER deposits, effective immediately. this is a seperate issue from the instacash rejection problem facing all books.

Trix where you hear that from????

EDIT: Just tried and got this shiat

Your request could not be completed. This merchant does not accept funds transfers from your area of residence.

Bodog dumping US or Neteller or WTF?

neteller, it's been official for a few hours now. bodog likely will still accept u.s players as that's their lifeblood, ironically you should hope they still accept u.s residents when you w/d b/c the day they stop taking u.s wagers is likely the day they become insolvent. best way to deposit to bodog now i suppose is e-check, however why anyone still would is beyond me.

Other than raping them on Prop bets for a few grand a year and maybe taking advantage of the good Dog lines they deal me I wouldn't ever consider moving most of my sportsbetting there.

Wow. I have $5k in Bodog. Do you think it is safe?

bodog is my main poker site so i am curious when i hear people say it is one of the most vulnerable books...

i thought of it as fairly secure because it is likely to be one of the last holdouts. ayre had his house raided once, he isn't in the u.s., they truly do depend on u.s. business...

afaik there hasn't ever been a major, well-respected sportsbook with solid cash assets that cut and run, so, i don't know, it doesn't seem that likely to me.
