despite domain dispute
For Immediate Release
August 28, 2007
Bodog is encountering DNS issues related to several of its websites and is directing customers to an alternate site (
www.newbodog.com) with little or no interruption to service.
“We are having difficulties related to our DNS registration but in little more than 12 hours, nearly all aspects of the website have been updated to reflect the environment our clients are accustomed to,” says Bodog founder Calvin Ayre. “We are working to resolve any of the minor remaining glitches on the alternate site, but other than that it is business as usual.”
According to Ayre, the problems result from a dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name.
“We are fighting this dispute and are confident that we will win,” says Ayre. “I sincerely apologize to any customers affected by our interruption and will continue to provide updates
