What Is Bodog

Bodog is an online gambling company that was created in 1994 by Calvin Ayre. Many online gambling websites were created and ran legally by the company up until 2008. There were originally two other arms of Bodog that had nothing to do with gambling including BodogFight which was a mixed martial arts promotions business, and Bodog Music which was a record label. Both ceased to commence business any longer in 2008.

As of that year, Bodog no longer had any operations with gambling websites directly, and licensed its name to another company to run its prior websites. The new business has BodogBrand.com allowing other companies to license the name and run their own websites as well. This is true for the largest main licensee the company has, Morris Mohawk Gaming Group which runs the original site Bodog.com. The company only runs this site in the United States, but the CEO of the main licensee’s company is a recipient of the Order of Canada, Mr. Alwyn Morris. Morris Mohawk is situated in Kahnawake in Quebec, required by the online gaming license it holds that is granted by the Kahnawak Gaming Commission.

Bodog has a branch in Europe that is run by Haydock Sports, while Bodog also has sites in Canada. Some of these sites include Bodog88.com, Bodog.co.uk and Bodog.ca. The fourth brand name purchase came from Ongame Poker Network CEO Patrik Selin in 2009. This company has rights to use the source code for the proprietary poker products from Morris Mohawk, Bodog Europe and Haydock so that they were able to join in the network.

Many professional poker players such as Evelyn Ng, David Williams and Justin Bonomo are all members of Team Bodog, and play on a regular basis in the Bodog poker rooms. Jamie Gold who won the 2006 World Series of Poker was a member of the team at the time of his win. At this time Bodog.com offers members the chance to play many types of casino games. A member can bet on horses or sports games through the site, as well as play poker or many different casino games. Unlike many types of online gambling websites, there are no signup bonuses, free shots or ways of playing without paying. Bodog requires that a possible member fill out the join form, place funds into their account and then they are able to play or bet.

Some of the types of gambling offered by Bodog include NHL Hockey bets, NBA Basketball, College football and basketball bets as well as sports live betting. For poker, flight club tourneys, poker tourneys, instructions on how to play poker as well as rules for Texas hold’em and even strategy and tips are available. The online casino section allows for download or mobile casino for cell phones. Members can play variations of blackjack, slots and roulette through this site. For horse betting, bets are taken for the Kentucky Derby, Breeders Cup, Triple Crown and offers handicapping and racing news. There are always up to date articles offered to members on new sports betting information as well as poker strategy from the pros and new poker information.
