why can't bodog take clients from Canada?

WEEKENDALKI · Jan 12, 2004

I just read that they don't allow canadians to play at their book. that seemed odd to me.

there offices are in Vancouver and I would Imagine they dont want any problems

crazyivan24 · Jan 12, 2004

I know that sucks...cuz I would have raided their offices in Vancouver if I had lost and played there

I thought odd as well. Nor Costa Rican accounts.

I respect the rules though.

They can't take any accounts cause their decision makign CEO is off int he jungle butt fu**ing every native he can find while tryng to avoid being shot, stab and held hostage...

Bo Dog is trash, borrowed lines and poor management...

I just puked again on their services

We have a marketing and development office in Canada and simply don't want any
hassles. It's just not worth the risk.

Seems silly to cut off so many potential gamblers because of an admin office.

Canada is full of squares.

Something tells me this has more to do with the problems one of their principals had with that stock fiasco.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... if the marketing and development office is doing anything that would be considered illegal, it's illegal whether they accept bets from Canadians or not.
I have legal opinions on this from two of the biggest law firms in Toronto. One of these days I'll get around to rattling their cage, lol.

They don't want anyone running down to the office in Van. to shoot the place up, oh.. wait were in Canada we ain't got no guns. They just need the security like Sportsinteraction has. They must have a shit pile of it cause the way SIA treats people the whole reserve should be on fire by now.
Ironically they are at it in Oka again, another reserve outside of Montreal. The natives have the WHOLE police force (60 members) holed up in the headquarters as of Jan. 12, 2004. The natives are pissed about getting a new police chief that says he is going to get tough on crime on the reserve. They have already burned his house down last night and are ready to KILL any cop that they see. Can you imagine a police chief saying he is cracking down on crime and the people that he is going to be protecting are planning on hanging him. What is going on out on these reserves is pretty evident. Smuggling of anything from smokes to people, drug manufacturing and murder. ****ing shame that only some of the population has to live by the laws that were created by a government that only enforces them when and where they feel that they won't look like the bad guy.
