- MissingLicence stringency — 1 jurisdiction. Strongest on file: Curaçao. Extra countries add weight; they do not wash out a weak home licence.
- Not a US state licence. Taking a US player from Curaçao is not the same object as DraftKings.
- UBO file is thinner than a listed US operator.
Sanctions / record
No High Court file on this pass — complaints are not a judgment. Bovada/Bodog has a long trail of customer payment disputes on forums. That is not a sourced court or regulator decision on this file. Grey-market books have weak ADR. Until a judgment or commission decision is attached, we do not treat Reddit as a payout record.
