Bodog Still Has the Magic
There has been a fair amount of negative press in the international online
casino gambling industry about Bodog over the past couple of months because of
the company’s run-in with the US Department of Justice. Bodog is one of only a
handful of internet poker and casino gambling companies to continue operating in
the US market despite the US governments protectionist ban on offshore online
casinos. For that reason, Bodog has had some high profile encounters with US
authorities. The most recent news though relates to gambler winning a
significant sum of money in Bodog’s regular $100,000 guaranteed tourney.
According to the latest news out of the online casino poker gambling site,
BodogLife.com, a regular poker gambler on the site was the lucky winner and took
home more than $23,000 in winnings. Bodog offers daily, weekly, and monthly
tournaments and is quite popular in the industry. The notoriety of the company
may actually boost the site’s popularity in the short term. In the long term
however, US gamblers will remain wary of any online casinos and poker gambling
sites that begin to have problems paying out winnings to the gamblers.
As for last week’s lucky winner though, Sili22 made it to the final table of the
$100,000 Guaranteed tourney and beat out some other Bodog regulars to win
$23,600. The payouts to the rest of the players were tiered down from that
point. This weekly tourney has proved one of Bodog’s most popular options for
the online casino poker gambling industry and players all over the world,
including the US, are able to enjoy the tournament play and possible walk away
with some very decent winnings. |
