    Good afternoon gentlemen,

    with the news of BetCris acquiring all non US accounts, could this be a sign that Bookmaker.eu is now an unsafe place to keep funds?  

    If it is clear that Bookmaker.eu is clearly supporting only US players, does that not attract more US government attwntuonk?

    sorry... typing on mobile phone sucks at times.

    Meant to say attention.

    Does anyone have thoughts on this or is there a reason to just stick with them?

    I have been reading that BetCris gives non U.S. players a better experience because the deposit and withdrawal options are more accesible and much easier to process. But, what did Bookmaker gain from this move? Why did they give up such a large piece of their pie? Are they truly focused on the U.S. market or is this the beginning of the end?

    Does anybody else have any insight on why Bookmaker would do this?

    I understand that Bookmaker may have established itself from the roots of BetCris... but the 2 are now entirely seperate entities.

    For those interested, here's a little history on the relationship between Betcris & Bookmaker:

    That, ultimately is the question. Is bookmaker going down, and that is why this acquisition was made? So that when bookmaker goes down they can already have the US players segregated out.... And not worry about European laws?

    That would be my best guess.  It doesn't necessarily mean they are closing shop, it's kind of a smart move regardless.  The US gov can only seize the funds of a business taking US players.  So by separating the two they protect a large portion of their "bankroll" from possible seizure.

    But on the flip side, I wouldn't let a large amount of money sit in their accounts either if I was a US player...

    Would anyone recommend splitting their money into separate off-shores?  For instance, should I keep 50% of it on Bookmaker and 50% on Heritage or 5 Dimes?

    By the way, this seems disturbing that the Director of Bookmaker.eu has been indicted in NY on charges:

    https://www.queensda.org/newpressreleases/2010/april/crown%20sports%20I_II_ind_04_07_2010.pdf

    I am under the impression then, that if he has not been caught, but comes to the United States, they may seize bookmaker.eu once he is apprehended?

    Anyone have any other information about this?

    I heard Bookmaker is offering Fake 100% deposit offers and only giving 15% instead> there deposit methods have went from 2500, to a max of 900 and sometimes 2 dimes. Its a scam site going down
