Can Canadian players play on Bodog poker. I have never tried, but some people tell me no.

If not, why?
Thanks
Marc-O
No


because Calvin Ayre thinks we live in igloo's with no wireless connections, eating poutine and drinking maple syrup.

BODOG can screw itself for this non-Canadian thing. There are plenty other sites to play on.

You are ignorant. It's 50 states and two territories: Puerto Rico and Guam.

PS: I'm Canadian, so I might be lying. You never can tell with my beady little eyes and flappy head, eh?

just the best thign ever.. fries, with cheese curds (or grated cheese if necessary) and gravy on top to melt the cheese. its basically cheese fries and gravy. sometimes people put chicken in it too. its gooooot

theres another poutine around my parts with the french people, its a casserole wtih a brick of cheese, 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, a bag of hash browns mixed together, then you layer on crunshed corn flakes for a topping. that is ****ing goot.

Whenever I go to windsor, I get the fries and the cheese, but pass on the gravy. Is that Canadian sacrelidge, or does it not really count as poutine anyway since it's windsor?

I typically stop at burger kind by the tunnel and they melt the cheese just right. It's like nachos but with french fries instead of tortilla chips

don't worry I meet Americans all the time that think there are 52 states, it is really shocking.

Once I took a geography class at a local community college and a young woman in our class couldn't find florida on a map.


ITS AMERICA'S WANG PEOPLE!!!!

Friend of mine is an executive with Bodog and the and the answer is...

Because Boddog is Canadian based if they allowed Canadian players they would have to deduct taxs off winnings and player would have to claim the taxes back from our wonderful governemt. That is the bsic explenation he gave me.

according to this article (which is a pretty interesting read):

For instance, unlike in the United States, Bodog does no marketing in Canada and doesn't even accept bets from Canadian gamblers. That's done to safeguard Bodog's Canadian assets from the type of problems that have ensnared other online casinos, such as Starnet Communications. Back in 1999, Vancouver police raided the offices of Starnet, alleging the company took bets from Canadians and processed those wagers on Canadian soil. Starnet, which has since changed its name to World Gaming, was eventually fined more than $100,000 and was forced to fork over nearly $4 million in seized assets as proceeds of crime.
