Bodog lays the smackdown

Go this email from Bodog today:

Dear Mr. LuvDemNutz
Account: 999999

It has come to our attention that you are abusing our reload bonus program.
Please note that this reload bonus offer is for recreational players, and
players who have a necessity to redeposit. You have been withdrawing funds from
your account, only to redeposit right afterwards, for the sole purpose of
receiving an additional reload bonus. That is not the intent of the reload bonus
program.

We would like to suggest that you keep your wagering in mind when requesting
withdrawals, leaving funds in your account to cover your wagering activity.

If you continue to cash out merely to redeposit, your bonus priviliges will be
permanently disabled.

If you have any questions please contact us at 1-888-263-0000.

Best regards,
Security Department

Woops...

At least this is a solid warning, unlike that TRASH Party/Empire who simply just locked accounts and refunded.

Even Rome fell ... how is the Roman Empire these days?

Empire should take lessons from these guys. Bodog tells you exactly what the problem is and exactly what you can do to avoid further action. Nice hand.

I hope this does not become a trend among poker sites.

Instead of withdrawing and immediately redepositing, keep depositing until you run out of cash in Neteller. Then, and only then, withdraw (at which point you might want to wait a day or two before redepositing).

Also, play a little inbetween withdrawals and re-deposits.

it's to keep the fish who deposit and bust out on a regular basis coming back for more while thinking they are getting a good deal!
