WTF? Was looking foreward to their bottomless bonus, but they don't allow Canadian accounts. Huh? Even Ladbrokes welcomes Canadian accounts...

It sucks, I'm a Canadian also and could not join.
Why Canadians are not allowed to play is beyond me!

Times have changed,
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents,
They just want to fart and curse. Should we blame the government, or blame society, or should we blame the images on tv No!

I am 99% sure no sportsbooks are allowed to operate within Canada, online or B&M. Since Bodog is a sportsbook first, poker room 2nd, they cannot operate in Canada. The government books all the sports bets right? I am American but this has come up before but I could not find it when I searched.

Bodog has some of their financial or other operations in Vancouver. They do not want the federal government moving in to take action against their operations if they allow Canadians to participate in their sportsbook - remember the government runs their own sportsbook PRO LINE and don't want any competition.

They are trying to restructure the company so that they can allow Canadians to participate. Their support said that should happen sometime this year, yet they were not specific.

Bodog LOVES Canada
Bodog HATES Canadian governement potential lawsuit.

About a year ago I couldn't open an account on SportsBook.com as a canadian. About 2 months ago i had no problem. No idea what that means, but thats what happened.
