Bodog Withdraws from Eastern Europe

07/08/2012

Last week’s surprising news were recently accompanied by another one. This time the main newsmaker is Bodog Poker, which informed its customers by email that the company would soon cease processing transactions in their areas and advising them to withdraw their money as soon as possible. As the email read :

Bodog recused himself
“We recommend that you withdraw any balance you may have in your account by 30 August 2012. Minimum withdrawal amount is $/€/£10. After 30 August, we will adjust your balance to 0 to protect your funds. To withdraw your balance after 30 August, you will need to contact customer service at service@bodog.co.uk.”

Amongst the 20 countries affected by Bodog´s announcement are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Israel, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

You're a bad - leave
The only official explanation of this decision came from Bodog’s Brand Ambassador “b-dogBecky” who wrote on the 2+2 forum: “We feel it is better to concentrate on our strengths & where we can offer the best product. The Bodog brand is known for its high level of customer service & spreading ourselves too thinly to try and cover a huge amount of smaller markets was proving logistically difficult. Bodog.co.uk will concentrate on growing existing markets.”
