Just got this email from bodog.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Effective Thursday, December 16th, a fee of 4.9% will be added to all credit card deposits you make to fund your Bodog account.
As a result of the challenges our industry has faced accepting payments in recent months, many of the companies who process credit card transactions have increased their costs. We tried hard not to pass this increase on to our players but our ability to absorb these fees has become too difficult and as a result we must pass some, but not all, of these fees to players who want to continue to use their credit card to deposit.
We continue to do all we can to maintain a high credit card acceptance rate and are always working to expand the number of alternative methods we offer, including those that have fewer (or no) fees. As a result of these efforts, we recently launched [link removed~tb]http://clicks.bodog.net/track?type=...hier.bodog.com/account/app/deposit/digitalpin, an instant and exclusive method.
We always recommend that you have more than one active method to deposit so that if your credit card fails, you can still quickly make a deposit without any delays.
Now here is the funny part, that digital pin option is a actually a pre paid phone card, and guess what, them damm idiots charge 5%. bodog charges 4.9%.?? Idiot greedy morons, they should eat the cost, cause now guess what I sent bodog an email message and said I will never make a deposit again until it is free. I guess there idiot money department does not realize its better to make some money than no money at all. Because now they have lost a customer. Just thought I would give you all a heads up. I can see its boiling down to just 3 sites to play on now, full tilt, poker stars, and carbon poker. oh well, hopefully some idiot elected official in this country will pass that dam poker bill so we can get it legalized and really bring the competition back into check, you all remember those $1000 5 times a day free rolls we had back in the day before nazi bush ruined online poker, some of us are still waiting in hope for change.
