New Bodog Poker Site
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.
Current American players now find that when they log into their Bodog accounts they are automatically shifted to Bovada.lv, a site that has the same exact look and feel of other Bodog properties. Anybody in the US going to the original Bodog site (bodog.eu) is now being transfered to Bovada.lv.
Bodog has always been a safe and trustworthy place for online sports betting and we don’t see any reason why that will change with a new name. After all it is the same group operating Bovada that operates and runs Bodog. The major difference (besides the similar name) is that Bovada is only open to US players, which should not affect anything.
Bovada = Bodog in the US
Bodog = Bodog for Europe/UK and Canada
What is Bovada?
The Bovada name is a cross between BOdog and neVADA and even uses the LV domain extension to try and give it some Las Vegas feel. When you go to the site, you will even see a picture of Las Vegas from the desert, with the Stratosphere standing out most. What’s the catch? The domain name has absolutely nothing to do with Las Vegas. The “lv” stands for Latvia. This is where Bovada Poker is based. It’s also operated by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Commission.
How will this affect sports betting?
Bodog New Site
It does not appear that Bodog’s sportsbook will be any different on their new Bovada.lv site, with sports betting, poker and casino games still available. The new site went up Decemeber 14, 2011 and has not been running long enough to fully judge if it will have an impact on online gaming, but other companies are sure to be watching closely to see if this approach will help thread the needle of federal online gaming regulation.
I live in the US, does my Bodog account still work?
If you currently bet or play poker at Bodog, you have nothing to worry about. Everything will be transferred to Bovada without you having to do anything. This includes username, password, cash balance, points balance and preferences. They want it to be a smooth transition. If you like to play more than poker, you can also access a sportsbook, casino games and horse racing from the site.
