Bodog New Name
ECOGRA is an international testing agency that accredits and Bodog Casino Mobile App regulates the world of online gambling. It checks to see whether online casinos are honest, fair and safe. ECOGRA is the word on responsible gambling and protects players against unfair practices.
And then there was Bodoglife.com.Bif Naked was born in New Delhi, India, to teenage parents attending private school. She was subsequently adopted by American missionaries. 2 She spent part of her childhood in Lexington, Kentucky, where her father was a professor at the University of Kentucky. Bodog was founded in 1994 and started offering online poker in 2004. The Bodog brand has incredible worldwide recognition but also has an incredibly checkered past having run afoul of the US Department of Justice on multiple occasions. Ownership of Bodog is also very unclear throughout its history.
Bodog, which was forced to launch 'Newbodog.com' after a judge presiding over a patent-dispute case against the company shuttered Bodog.com, has settled on a new name. The new address is Bodoglife.com.
Here's what Bodog CEO and founder Calvin Ayre wrote to his customers about the change:
As you may know, there have been some changes at Bodog, recently, because of issues related to our domain name. We temporarily released newbodog.com a few weeks ago, but, in an effort to move to a more permanent home, we are pleased to announce bodoglife.com.
We reacted quickly, as we always will, so you can enjoy the hottest site on the Net with no interruption in play.
Hey, the world changes, and if you don't change with it, you get left behind. We've been leading the good times for a long time, and nobody will leave us behind. Full speed ahead.
That said, I hope you'll visit Bodog's permanent new home at bodoglife.com. Although the Bodog address is changing for good, this is the bottom line: At Bodog, it's business as usual. Same great site, just a new Web address.
Last month, a Nevada judge ruled against Bodog and ordered the domain name frozen after no Bodog representatives showed up at a patent-infringement hearing brought against the site by Scott Lewis and his company, 1st Technology, who are seeking $48 million in damages.
Lewis claims that Bodog owes his company money for using technology that the company has patented called 'Method and System for Interactivity Transmitting Multimedia Information Over a Network which Requires Reduced Bandwidth.'
Bodog countered by launching the temporary 'newbodog.com,' and then partnered with the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group for operations and marketing of its gaming in North America. Morris Mohawk is currently the director of the Council of Chiefs for the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake, which gamers should find familiar, as the Kahnawake Canadian Indian nation regulates and licenses many of the most popular online gaming companies that service North Americans.
As for the lawsuit, Ayre has repeatedly said that he will not pay Lewis or his company the $48 million.
So perhaps you’ve heard rumors about Bodog leaving their USA players to hang out to dry. There were mumblings about them getting busted by the US Dept. of Justice. Some said they were running away with players’ funds. Well, I’m happy to report (as I already knew) that all of this is complete BUNK! The facts are that the Bodog brand applied for, and was granted, a betting license in the UK. In order to remove any remote possibility of creating waves with any issues pertaining to their catering to American based players, they have removed the Bodog name from the good ole USA. Since 2007, the Bodog site used by American players was completely administrated by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (“MMGG”) pursuant to a gaming license issued by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, located in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada. This is the same group that has now launched the BOVADA.LV label! Everything at Bovada is the same that it was at Bodog as of yesterday. The same platform, customer service, payout system…everything. This is only affecting accounts used by American players, and all others will be able to continue to access the Bodog platform as they have previously.
