Bodog Europe Launches Bodog.ca for Canadian Players

For Immediate Release

Sept. 3, 2009

It has been a monumental year for the Bodog brand and its licensees, and Bodog Europe is excited to officially announce yet another key milestone in the brand’s history: the launch of the Bodog experience to the Canadian market. Perhaps fittingly, Bodog Europe’s launch of www.Bodog.ca coincides with the 15-year anniversary of the Bodog brand, for the first time giving Canadian players the ability to cash in on some hot new promotions just in time for the remainder of the CFL season and the beginning of the NFL and NHL seasons.

Bodog Europe is lead by industry veteran and Managing Director Keith McDonnell, and is regulated and licensed by the Antigua & Barbuda Financial Services Regulatory Commission, Directorate of Offshore Gaming. McDonnell noted, “We’re extremely excited to be able to bring the unique Bodog experience to Canadian players. Canadians are passionate sports fans and are extremely savvy consumers. The Bodog brand is known world-over for its unmatched customer service and here at Bodog Europe we put the player’s experience and entertainment ahead of all else – I’m confident that we’re going to quickly earn Canadians’ loyalty and trust.”

Bodog.ca offers Canadian players safe, secure and simple access to world-class sports betting, a thriving and dynamic poker community, and a full Vegas-style casino with more than 80 web-based and downloadable games. Bodog Europe offers its players a simple, feature-rich sports betting product, offering a vast selection of sports betting opportunities across all major leagues and featuring live betting and an 80+ track Racebook. The Bodog.ca Sportsbook also has a particular focus on Canada’s most popular sports: NHL Hockey and CFL Football.

Bodog Europe – the upstart Bodog brand licensee already taking the UK by storm with its European-facing site www.Bodog.co.uk – had originally secured the rights to the world-famous “Bodog” brand for use in Europe only. However, when Bodog Europe Managing Director Keith McDonnell learned of BodogBrand.com’s willingness to entertain proposals to license the brand for use within Canada, he was quick to act, and secured the exclusive Canadian license.

“The Bodog brand is celebrating its fifteenth year anniversary this year – an absolutely remarkable pedigree and testament to its enduring values in an industry that quickly kills off mediocrity. The brand has gone through quite an evolution during that long history, and Bodog Europe is looking forward to carrying the torch forward for at least another fifteen years of world-class customer service, unbeatable promotions, and, above all – fun.”

After a Lengthy Battle, Bodog.com Comes Home!

On April 21, 2009, Morris Mohawk Gaming Group officially announced that it had reached an agreement resulting in the settlement of all pending patent litigation against a then defunct supplier company, this also resulted in the return of the world-renowned Bodog.com domain. After a great deal of talks and consideration, it was determined that the Bodog.com domain name was far to valuable not to used to it’s fullest. Bodog had been using bodoglife.com to serve it’s US customers. Rather than only using the Bodog.com domain for geo-targeting, they have moved the online operations that include Poker, Casino and Sports Betting back to the original bodog.com domain.

“Gaining ownership of the Bodog.com domain was a moment of immense pride for me, it felt akin to taking ownership of a piece of Bodog’s history,” says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. “As the exclusive licensee of the Bodog brand for online gaming in the United States, we are overjoyed to not only be a part of the return of one of the industry’s most prestigious and recognizable domains, but to also be the driving force behind the brands operation in that market. Bodog.com is back and here to stay!”

Even though the Bodog.com domain will be used for the brand’s U.S. facing business, the return of the domain will prove beneficial for all of the brand’s global licensees as, regardless of a player’s location, going to Bodog.com will automatically redirect the you to the appropriate licensee for your jurisdiction. Certainly this only the beginning of what looks to be another exciting year with Bodog.com! Set up your FREE account here and stay tuned for many great promotions and announcements in the near future!

You can count on Bodog to be your best choice for online poker, sports betting, horses and a super online casino that is available in flash or download versions! US players are always welcome at all Bodog properties and with the recent addition of a flash based poker room, MAC players can now take part in one of the top destinations for online poker! The Bodog brand also features one of very few US friendly Mobile Gaming sites!
