Ganked from 2+2, so not totally reliable, but this looks like authentic Bodog email style. I have not received this email. Hopefully someone else can confirm it.

Important Service Announcement: Reload Bonus


Get your 10% Reload Bonus before Tuesday.

Bodog is committed to providing you with a range of deposit options that offer flexibility, convenience and choice.

Over the years we were able to keep our deposit and withdrawal transaction costs extremely low and pass the savings on to our players in the form of reload bonuses. The unfortunate events of last week mean those low-cost providers have left the US market and the options that remain are expensive, labor intensive or both. It was a very tough decision to make, but rather than pass on the higher fees to our players, we have decided to remove reload bonuses while continuing to offer free deposits and withdrawals. We will continue to monitor the situation and add new payment solutions to make the process easier and faster for players like you.

Effective Tuesday, January 30th reload deposits will no longer qualify for a 10% bonus. Deposits made before then will still qualify for the 10% bonus, so be sure you get them in to your account before Tuesday. Please view our Deposit page for a list of our current deposit methods, or call us at 1-888-263-0000 for deposit assistance.

We will continue to offer comps for casino play, rebates in the Racebook, Poker Points and overlays in the poker room and we will also be lowering the thresholds where fees are covered for many of the deposit and withdrawal options. Our Refer-A-Friend bonus is still in effect, and with the Super Bowl approaching, now is a good time to refer your friends. Refer your friends today.

this kinda sucks, but without neteller, it was hard to withdrawl and desosit over and over like i did before. I love the ring games at bodog and the software, so i would play there without without the reload anyways. WIth the guarantee tourneys that have so much overlay already, hopefully this will add less players to these tournies and make the overlay better. I would take that over the reload anyday. As long as they keep the guarantee tournies and dont charge fees to deposit and withdrawl
