The OP is from Alabama, this is quite possible. Why it took 6 months is a matter of BoDog incompetence. It is, in fact, illegal for the OP to deposit into BoDog using most, if not all, of the deposit methods listed in the E-mail. If indeed the original deposit bounced, then it is highly likely any further one will.
I doubt their "collections agency" will be given the time of day in the Alabama court house, and they may even be arrested for attempting to obtain an illegal payment if they are daft enough to come round in person. An American collection agency would not want to get involved unless they were dodgy to start with.
This happened to another poster, and they decided in the end to ignore it. It would only be an issue if the OP wanted to continue to play online, as the bad debt would count against them.

If this were a phishing attempt, the E-mail would contain a link, and you would be asked to "click here & log on to your BoDog account...etc.." (It would be a fake BoDog site of course, and the click here would not depict the actual URL). This looks different, it has the account number, and a straight forward URL is provided, which is https: (To be on the safe side though, do not use it, go direct from the browser).

This may be the tip of the iceberg, and many casinos may find the US recover earlier deposits. If the DoJ can do it, they certainly will, and so will the banks. I believe they already have BoDog in their sights, as it takes sports bets as well as offering a casino.
