Should Bodog players cash out and run?

Do you know where YOUR poker room or casino is hosted?

In light of the BetOnSPORTS @#$% up and the shocking realisation that tens of thousands of players could lose their money/wagers - isn't it time to find out: Where is your poker room or casino hosted?

Take Bodog. Their site reads:
“The Bodog Group of Companies, headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica…. Bodog.com takes pride in being licensed in the Costa Rica, Kahnawake and the United Kingdom. In 2004, Bodog.com was the first company of its kind to have its name trademarked in the United States.”

No thanks. Personally, I would cash out quicker than you can say "BetOnSPORTS" and run for the woods (or at least a safer shore where the US authorities aren't likely to arrest the fatcats and hold on to your hard-earned entertainment money...)

Same with Goldenpalace, who is "Legally licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada".

Mmmmm... still a bit close to the heat for my liking.

Meanwhile, London listed Australian gambling group Betcorp has become the latest online sportsbook company to stop taking telephone bets from American residents, and is reviewing its US-facing businesses in the wake of the BetonSports arrests and charges

I'll keep looking for other poker rooms and online casinos that are located a little too close to the action, so keep coming back to check for yours.

PS. In case you're wondering, I play at The Gaming Club Online Casino and River Belle Online Casino, which are both safely tucked away in Gibraltar....(thank god)
