I saw people mention making 3 deposits and $50 fees but would appreciate it if someone would clarify.

LMAO they have no qualifications plain and simple. Bodog is trying to keep money in their site. They don't want a mass exodus of regulars at a time when the overlays are as big as ever, even after they cut down the amount on their daily guaranteed tourneys over the last year or so. With the payment problems and after the feds seized alot of their cash flow, they know the smart regs are trying to take their money and run straight to FTP and Stars.

The guy on the phone straight up told me WU is not an option for me because I would be using it to withdraw and not deposit, and they aren't concerned with that. That is a f***ing joke. If this was an honest company I would have the same payout options as my friend who lives down the street from me who plays on Bodog, but I don't, probibly because he is a loosing player and I'm not. He has never used WU but he has the option hahaha. I used rapid transfer almost on a weekly basis before they canceled the option. You cannot justify this to me any other way, something unethical is going on.

If it will hurt them to take your roll off the site, they won't give you anything other than snail mail check as an option. Merry Christmas time when you get it, and if you've been a good boy hopefully it won't bounce.

Bodog Loses Trademark Dispute on Appeal: Lower Court’s Ruling Affirmed

Submitted by Guest on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 23:06.

1st Technology , LLC today received an affirmance of last year's rejection of all attempts to set aside the judgment against Bodog.com, Bodog.net, and Bodog Entertainment Group S.A.
Judgment was entered against the Bodog entities on June 13, 2007, in the amount of $46,597,849. Despite a vigorous appeal by Bodog's counsel, Bodog's attempts to overturn the ruling from the District Court of Nevada's Judge Hunt were fruitless, and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit today affirmed the lower court's ruling. With interest, the amount due 1st Technology from Bodog now exceeds $50 million.
1st Technology's CEO Dr. Scott Lewis emphasized the importance of the ruling, stating, "We cannot be more pleased. Bodog has consistently tried to circumvent the United States justice system, and disregarded the legitimacy of our claims against it. We now have the certainty we need to accelerate our seizure of any and all global assets to satisfy the judgment, and bring fairness and respect back to Bodog's commercial dealings. I am also pleased that those companies operating in the U.S. or serving U.S. customers via the Internet are not above the law."
The Chicago-based law firm of Flachsbart & Greenspoon, LLC won the appeal for 1st Technology in Appeal No. 2008-1132.
Today's affirmance follows a victory in the District of Western Washington last Friday. The Court granted significant parts of a preliminary injunction to halt any transactions or transfers of Bodog's trademarks. The co-pending lawsuit in Washington seeks (among other claims) to undo conveyances among defendants Bodog Entertainment Group S.A., Bodog IP Holdings Ltd., and GK World Link Telecom S.A. Both Flachsbart & Greenspoon and Venkat Balasubramani represent 1st Technology in Case No. 08-CV-872 in the Western District of Washington.

So I guess people with money on deposit with BoDog have one more to add to the list of entities looking to grab their moolah.

The DOJ already grabbed what, 24 mil?

And of course the real and present danger of Ayre absconding with their money continues.....:NO:NO:NO

[Dirty]

wonder how far he will be able to go to get funds..

[Brunhuber]

wonder how far he will be able to go to get funds..

Well, he's taken it this far, I would imagine he's prepared to go to the ends of the earth to root out any money!

This makes it especially dangerous for those who have money with Calvin.

We've seen the seizures in the US recently. The fact that Ayre brazenly set up these processors in the USA, in his name, speaks to the level of desperation, or the level of stupidity, of Calvin, or both.

Calvin has to know that forensic private detectives working for Ist Technology have uncovered real estate across the world, particularly in Canada, registered in the names of family members and close associates. Hello Jim Philips.

I would think that the next step for 1st Technologies would be to put seizures notices on these properties, and eventually they will be as gone as the 24 mil that Calvin thought he had hidden.

With Ayre's history as a stock fraudster, it would be no great stretch to suggest that all money being deposited recently with BoDog will disappear into an offshore bank account.

Maybe not forever, given the surveillance that he is clearly under, but long enough to be tied up in the US judicial system for half a decade.

[Minnesota Mike]

Dirty, why does your former employer continue to insist that bodog is safe? Despite the evidence and ridiculous slow-paying/no- paying.

[Dirty]

The same reason he has promoted crap books in the past..... they pay him.....

We cost ourselves several thousand dollars a month in revenue by not taking any book rated less than a B....We do this by choice. We feel that it is only right for this industry and the players to send them to quality books. Is this fail proof? No.. but the books we advertise have a better chance of not going under than most at any other forum. I believe in the Long Run this is going to work out for us and posters will realize we are here for the good of the player and not to make a quick buck at the expense of our readers and posters.

Bodog May Lose Domain Name Again

Submitted by C Costigan on Fri, 10/17/2008 - 01:07.

One of the big stories last year was Bodog.com losing its domain name following a much publicized trademark dispute.
It was just last week that the company lost its trademark case on appeal.
Floundering and left for dead, Bodog had managed to get its site back onto web search after switching to the BodogLife.com domain name.
Now they stand to lose that domain name as well.
A Kentucky circuit court ruled on Thursday that BodogLife.com and 140 other Internet gambling domain names will be turned over to the state unless owners are willing to appear in court on November 17 to show proof that they have implemented geo-targeting software that blocks out Kentucky residents.
Ironically, it was just three years ago that Bodog founder Calvin Ayre spent millions via promotions at Kentucky Derby. Back then, when Ayre was running the company, he would have probably had no qualms about appearing on Bodog's behalf.
Today, nearly every online gambling operator is fearful of stepping foot in the United States, and with good reason. Ayre and others are widely believed to have their names on US Government "watch lists".
The chances of Bodog having someone appear on their behalf in an "ownership" capacity may be more likely than with other Internet gambling sites it seems.
Last year, Ayre turned over ownership of Bodog to a Kahnawake company that has since been running the online gambling firm into the ground, slow paying players and screwing numerous vendors. Nonetheless, Kahnawake representatives could be more inclined to appear in Kentucky, representing a sovereign nation.
It was not immediately known whether BodogLife.com's registrar would comply with the Frankfort Kentucky circuit court judge's order.
BodogNation.com, which acts as a search engine ranking tool for the company, is not named in the complaint and should be able to function as usual.
Slowdog.com might work.

Hilarious From Gambling 911 last month.

Ha ha. Obviously a Bodog employee or "die hard". Let's see how viable your claims are in a year when Bodog is unable to pay anybody anymore. Why did Calvin sell? Why have payouts been super slow? Why are they firing employees? Why has every sportsbook watchdog downgraded them? Why do other sportsbooks enjoy success while they are suffering? answers: calvin knows to get out when the timing is right. The company is reverting back to a shell of it's once self. Ego and directly challenging the bigger ego of US law mixed with a myriad of tremendously bad decisons has resulted in failure. You said: "They are shedding all their NON GAMING BUSINESS which are NOT making them money. It is doubtful they were ever really suppose to be profit generators, instead they were created to fuel the company's bread and butter product, THEIR GAMING CHANNEL." I say" If it's not about making money, then why do it?" Look dude, give up on Bodog. They have awakened a sleeping giant. Not familiar to you. Google "US entering WWII". Good luck, check out Bookmaker if you need a book that knows how to operate.

As a result of a post at OGD last week, under the Prince Of Pot thread, I was contacted by a recently laid-off RipTown [BoDog] employee who took offence to a post from someone calling him/herself "X RipTown.

This person advised me that the most important info to take from all of G911's stories on Calvin/BoDog are as follows:

1] Calvin still calls all of the shots.

2]BoDog lost all of it's cash reserves with the seizure of the 24 mil last Feb.

3]Calvin knows fully well that there are no payment processors who will touch BoDog with a ten foot pole. And further that he knew this well over a year ago, which caused him to set up shell companies, within the USA, with himself as CEO.

4]Calvin has no qualms whatsoever about shutting down BoDog with no notice to anyone and using all monies on deposit to finance a new venture.

SEC Info - Cyberoad Com Corp - SB-2/A - On 7/19/00 - EX-10.52
5]Calvin has recently used an old shell company, El Moro Finance, to buy up Ascot Sports, which he intends to operate under, this time anonyomously.
This tidbit of info was on G911 two months ago, but only your faithful servant 'Brun picked up on it. Ascot Sports to Withdraw From Online Gaming Business

6]Calvin intends to let the new "licensee" of BoDog, Alwyn Morris, the ex-Olympian Mohawk, take the heat for the missing money.

This is the straight goods on what Ol' Cal has planned, and I think it's only fitting that it should be posted here at Gambling IQ. Again, kudos to the boys here for coming out with this thread!

I could have given links to all the above, but for those who want to know, it's all at G 911. Mark my words!

Bodog’s Fall From Grace Continues

Submitted by Payton on Fri, 10/24/2008 - 00:33.

BodogLife.com - once the envy of online gambling operators everywhere - continues to struggle and perhaps nowhere is this more evident than by checking their stats at PokerSiteScout.com.
Bodog will not live and die by its online poker room. After all, the company started out as a highly successful sports betting operation and later became Real Time Gaming's top online casino brands. They eventually grabbed the RTG source code. During this time, Bodog also entered the world of Internet poker and almost immediately enjoyed success in that realm as well.
The company got into online poker at the height of its popularity and pre-UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act). Actually, the UIGEA forced some of the most prominent poker rooms out of the US market and one would have thought Bodog could capitalize on this trend. They did for a while.
But Bodog found itself in quite the legal quagmire.
From Casino Times UK:

A judgment was handed down requiring Bodog.com to pay $50 million in a lawsuit settlement to 1st Technology LLC. This relates back to Bodog.com violating software contact agreements with 1st Technology LLC. The online gaming giant was given the opportunity to have their day in court. However, there were no representatives for Bodog.com in the courtroom. Therefore the judge was left with no choice but to automatically find in favor of 1st Technology LLC.
In addition to the large scale judgment amount, the two main operating domain names of Bodog.com and Bodog.net were ordered to cease operations as well. Bodog operations responded by creating a new domain name from which to continue daily operations. The new domain name of bodoglife.com was launched and an appeal of the judgment was filed.

Bodog continues to struggle in finding its identity these days following drastic management changes and massive layoffs. The company's founder, Calvin Ayre, is nowhere to be found following his abrupt (and some say "forced") retirement last spring.
Bodog Poker is having trouble paying players. They've bounced a number of checks and it is obvious they are losing market share in recent months. The site had previously peaked at number 10 among "real cash players" and gradually they have dropped down the ranks to number 15.

Legal Documents Obtained Related to ZIP Payment Online Gambling Solutions


Submitted by C Costigan on Sun, 11/02/2008 - 21:57.

Gambling911.com has obtained legal documents filed by the US Government in cases against ZIP Payment Solutions founders, Edward Courdy and Michael Gardone. Both operated a payment processing company that catered mostly to online gambling establishments, the most notable being Bodog Sportsbook. A criminal investigation was launched by the District Court in Maryland.
Courdy is said to have transferred over $2 million from Dublin, Ireland to the state of Nevada and then to the state of Maryland "with the intent to promote the carrying on of specified unlawful activity, that is conducting an illegal gambling business in violation of Title 18 of United States code section 1955."
Gambling911.com sources have revealed that the US Government is in the process of building a case against Bodog (BodogLife.com) and its founder, Calvin Ayre. That company had $24 million of its funds seized through ZIP Payment Solutions.
"They want him (Calvin Ayre) badly," our sources reveal.
Bodog affiliates and anyone who has conducted business with the company could be subpoenaed.
The Sept. 29 filing the of Courdy and Garone charges coincides with the date that Courdy and ZIP Payments filed a claim in forfeiture proceedings involving $9,869,283.05, which was seized in July from several bank accounts tied to Courdy. Courdy and ZIP Payments, through their California attorney, Stanley I. Greenberg, are seeking the return of the seized money. Also filing a claim that day was 1st Technology, LLC, which recently won a $46,597,849 Nevada court judgment against Bodog and is seeking to collect part of the money by intervening in the ZIP Payments forfeiture proceeding.
Bodog has had trouble paying customers since the seizure, however, in recent weeks many of the firm's customers have reported receipt of payouts.

Malta-based companies abetting illegal Internet gambling operations
by DAVID LINDSAY

Malta has served as a payment distribution base for the multi-billion dollar Bodog gambling empire, which is embroiled in an American Internal Revenue Service investigation into illegal Internet gambling, which has already seen $24 million seized from US banks.

With Internet gambling illegal in the US, Bodog, according to US investigators, allegedly found a way to circumvent regulations so as to make payouts to American winners, who make up the bulk of the operation’s customer base.

The scheme involves a foreign payment processor wiring funds for US winnings to an American money processor, which, in turn, distributes winnings by cheque or electronic payment to winners with no indication that the money involved was the proceeds of Internet gambling.

According to court filings presented as part of the IRS investigation into the Bodog internet gambling empire, which takes in some $6 billion in bets a year, at least one of the several Malta-based companies owned by Bodog has played a central role in processing such illegal gambling payouts.

One such company is the Malta-based Stratham Finance, of which legendary Canadian Bodog tycoon Calvin Ayres is both a director and sole shareholder. Among the raft of evidence presented by the IRS, an unnamed “cooperating individual” – a certain highly placed person at MPS Processing Ltd located in the United Kingdom – gave evidence to the effect that the company he worked for was processing payouts on behalf of Bodog, and that Stratham Finance was the financing company for Bodog.

Moreover, the individual revealed that MPS Processing had received funds from the Ta’ Xbiex-based Stratham Finance, which would then be transferred to an American money processing company.

The US company would then, according to court filings, print and mail payout cheques as directed by invoice from Stratham.

When the story that the US authorities had clamped down on Bodog broke at the end of summer, and when the Malta-based Stratham Finance had been clearly implicated in the scheme, the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority had felt compelled to issue a public notice.

The notice simply stated that neither Bodog nor Stratham were in possession of any licence, permit or any other form of approval from the authority to “operate, promote or abet gaming services in Malta or from Malta”.

But while the processing of illegal payments destined for US winners clearly constitutes abetting, so could the fact that the Bodog websites are also registered to companies in Malta. The US investigation, however, is still in progress.

While the Bodog operation’s bases are on the Caribbean island of Antigua, and Costa Rica, it operates under the jurisdiction of the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve in Canada and its finances are thought to be largely run from Malta.

Moreover, Bodog’s gaming websites – bodoglife.com and newbodog.com – belong to two companies registered at the same Ta’ Xbiex address as Stratham Finance.

Curiously, also registered at the same address are, in addition to Stratham Finance and the companies hosting the websites, eight other financing companies – Aragon Finance, Brompton Finance, Esser Finance, Kiel Finance, Lyon Finance, Milburn Finance, Savoy Finance and Sutherland Finance.

A company called Bodog Music (Europe) Limited is also registered at the same address.

While it is not clear if the other companies at the address form part of the illegal payout puzzle, all the companies’ directors and shareholders are either Bodog’s flamboyant billionaire Calvin Ayres or his partner James Philip. Philip, according to Canadian press reports, is a Vancouver chartered accountant who serves as chief financial officer of El Moro Finance Ltd – a British Virgin Island company that figured prominently in Bodog’s early development.

As for the flamboyant billionaire himself, Calvin Ayres is said to be avoiding the US, where he would most likely be placed under arrest on arrival and where he is the centre of an exhaustive investigation featuring witnesses, informants and former employees after several undercover operations showed that Bodog was illegally taking US bets.

Since the investigation came to light, Ayres has transferred ownership of Bodog to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, of the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve, and retired from the company. In the meantime he is reported to be residing in various countries in Africa and Asia that do not have extradition treaties with the US.

Bodog Poker Loses Largest Market Share in 2008

Submitted by C Costigan on Mon, 01/05/2009 - 22:22.

According to PokerSiteScout.com Bodog Poker was the biggest loser of 2008. That online poker room lost 34 percent of its overall market share. That company has had a terrible time processing payouts over recent months though there are some signs of a recovery.
AbsolutePoker.com got off relatively scott-free considering the disastrous PR this company has had to overcome during the past year, losing just 30 percent of market share. Absolute Poker has held its own and is now integrated with UltimateBet as part of the Cereus Network.
The biggest gainers in 2008 were PokerStars (65 percent), Entraction (65 percent) and Cake Poker (52 percent).

Federal Judge Orders Forfeiture of $10 Mil From Bodog

Submitted by C Costigan on Thu, 02/19/2009 - 20:13.

A U.S. District Judge out of Baltimore last week signed an order allowing the federal government to keep $9.67 million of the $9.87 million seized from Nevada bank accounts of Bodog, one of the largest online gambling companies. Federal authorities seized the accounts last July. $200,000 would be returned to a credit card payment solutions company, the order stipulated.
The forfeiture order was the second big one involving proceeds attributed to Bodog, according to Forbes.com. The first, involving some $14.2 million seized in early 2008 from accounts in banks in the southeastern U.S., was finalized last year. The once dominant Internet gambling and poker firm has fallen on rough times over the last year. Its colorful founder, Calvin Ayre, remains in hiding after abruptly retiring from Bodog last spring. The firm's poker room barely maintains a top 15 position among all leading "real cash" sites. And while Bodog seems to be slowly getting its act together in terms of proper payout structuring, the company has had a difficult time taking in new deposits.
From Forbes:
A Forbes cover story about Ayre in 2006, when he qualified for the Forbes list of the world's billionaires, was titled "Catch Me If You Can." Legislation President Bush signed later that year strengthening online gambling prohibitions shredded Bodog's giant $6 billion-a-year operation and Ayre's fortune.
It's not just the federal government that is going after Bodog, as Forbes points out. Las Vegas software maker 1st Technology filed a claim seeking to collect on a $46 million judgment it won against Bodog in a suit alleging that Bodog had infringed on its intellectual property.
It was unclear whether Bodog had since settled with 1st Technology, believing they were backed into a corner.
1st Tech's CEO, Scott Lewis, told Gambling911.com in December that Bodog would have no other choice but to pay monies owed in a complaint.
"1st Tech's $50M judgment (now $52M with growing interest) was reaffirmed by the U.S. Federal Appeals Court in early Oct. 2008. As you also know, Bodog requested last May that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) reexamine our core gaming patent, U.S. Patent 5,564,001 (the '001 patent) as part of a blackmail attempt to get us to settle for a pittance - an attempt I rejected. The goal being that if all of the claims of the '001 patent were disallowed by the USPTO then they could (which we dispute on legal grounds) get the $50M judgment reversed. Well and behold, we received in November the first official office action from the USPTO in the '001 reexam -- and they ALLOWED four of the claims! Allowance of only one claim makes the patent reaffirmed by the USPTO - independent of the result of the other claim examinations (which we are working diligently to show were novel vs. the prior art.) Since the default judgment against Bodog was pursuant to a broad '001 patent infringement complaint - Bodog now faces a valid $52M judgment affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals pursuant to a lawsuit on a patent affirmed as valid by the USPTO - this makes our judgment about as strong as you can possibly get to take this judgment for collection against assets in the U.S. and around the world - legally, it's now "game over" for Bodog."
Bodog was abruptly yanked from the Gambling911.com website last summer after it was unable to send funds, requesting instead to pay out in increments. The world's leading sports odds and handicapping provider, Covers.com, also followed suit.
"They just didn't have the money," explains Gambling911.com Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien. "If they are having trouble paying us how can we trust they are going to pay our readers?"
Since that time Bodog has made some inroads on the payout front but sources within the company are still working to develop new means of deposit methods.
"This is not a bad company by any means despite losing much of the talented staff that helped build the brand," said O'Brien. "We've enjoyed a long relationship with Bodog. They just need to get their act together. Obviously, these latest revelations are yet another setback in the ongoing saga of Bodog."

Bodog Faces Civil Contempt Charges in Las Vegas Court

March 5, 2009, exactly 11 years to the date that 21 online gambling operators were indicted for violation of an obscure 1963 "Wire Act" and it is this day that Bodog officers will need to appear in a Las Vegas courtroom where they must answer to a costly civil complaint.

Our sources reveal that "What is particularly important is that the order applies to named officers like Bodog Entertainment Group S.A. President Mr. Umana, but also Bodog's finance manager David Ferguson, and any other Bodog officer, which means anyone who has acted as an officer for such actions as leases and other legal agreements - for which we have found evidence that others representing Bodog in an official legal Capicity for that group."
