BODOG PRESS RELEASE!!

Bodog Remains Fully Operational
Online gaming giant continues to offer customers full service despite domain dispute


For immediate release:

August 28, 2007

Bodog is encountering DNS issues related to several of its websites and is directing customers to an alternate site (Online Poker, Sports Betting, Online Casino at Bodog Sportsbook) with little or no interruption to service.

“We are having difficulties related to our DNS certificate but in little more than 12 hours, nearly all aspects of the website have been updated to reflect the environment our clients are accustomed to,” says Bodog founder Calvin Ayre. “We are working to resolve any of the minor remaining glitches on the alternate site, but other than that it is business as usual.”

According to Ayre, the problems result from a dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name.

“We are fighting this dispute and are confident that we will win,” says Ayre. “I sincerely apologize to any customers affected by our interruption and will continue to provide updates as they become available.”

Re: BODOG PRESS RELEASE!!

Since when is their head office in Antigua? I thought it was in Costa Rica? Did that change after Calvin's house got raided?

It's been pointed out elsewhere that Bodog, being a criminal organization under US law, does not have a right to a domain name that is being used to further that criminal activity. NewBodog.com was apparently registered only yesterday. Anybody got the technical ability to find out where the servers are located for NewBodog.com?

Interesting. So what will exist to prevent the same thing from happening to newbodog.com? And what about other sportsbooks out there?

They moved to Antigua awhile, claiming they wanted to be a part of the well-regulated market there. It wasn't in response to his house getting raided, but it would be hard to say that didn't at least affect his thinking.

They have never been charged with a crime to my knowledge, how could this be true?

I think that's irrelevant, as long as he's bringing the facts to this forum.

I think it's very relevant if he posted here at EOG under a different name. What was his other posting name?
