Bodog having problems paying US players

Several US based punters have been experiencing long delays in getting payouts from Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker.

This does not seem to be due to financial problems with Bodog itself - rather getting payments into the US banking system - as the UIGEA hits hard at online gambling companies.

With the recent changes at Bodog - Morris Mohawk now have an exclusive license to market the Bodog brand - and the loss of the previous payment processor - it appears that the new promoters are not as skilled in moving the money - and/or perhaps do not understand the importance of maintaining the payment system for easy payouts to the USA.

The money does eventually get out - but new payment processors are very uneasy about helping high profile gambling companies to pay US based players after recent legislative changes.

I am not aware of any Bodog players from other countries outside the United States that are experiencing these problems. The financial state of Bodog is not really in question here.

But - as such we have to recommend caution for any new players or repeat players from within the United States when choosing to play. It may be wise to look at some of the alternative organisations that we have listed on the main site that have existing solutions in place to quickly pay US players.
