  • Bodog.com domain name has been seized by the Department of Homeland Security agents in Baltimore.Bodog is one of the biggest names in online gaming. The news was reported by Bodog founder's website,CalvinAyre.com .

    This seizure have little effect,because Bodog.com domain name was only used to forward to the Bodog.eu domain,since May 2011.American players use Bovada.lv since December 2011.The company moved the websites to Bodog.eu and Bovada.lv,after the federal authorities seized many others gaming sites.The reason why they have chosen .eu and .lv domain names is that it's much harder for the US Government to gain legal control over them .

    BodogBrand released the following press release :

    "The BodogBrand became aware late on 27th February that the domain Bodog.com had been seized by US Homeland Security. This domain is not currently in use by the BodogBrand or any Brand Licensee and has not been in use since the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) switched its operations from Bodog.com to Bodog.eu in May 2011.

    The BodogBrand.com revoked its licensing agreement with MMGG on December 15th 2011 after publicly stating it would do so in July 2011. It is equally important to state that Bodog UK, Bodog Europe and Bodog Asia have never taken bets from the US.

    The BodogBrand is currently consulting with its legal advisors with a view to having the domain returned."
