    That suggests to me that the 1st Technologies patent has wide application, and that the current issue is not a case of RTG (or Bodog's "tweaked" version of RTG software) being a target in isolation.

    I would think that Bodog is, however, a vulnerable and high profile target well suited to getting the message out that these patents are strong enough to stand and will be enforced.

    Bodog probably has more to lose (and to pay) in this game than RTG itself, given the relative commercial standing of the two companies, especially since Bodog's alleged mysterious sale and move to Costa Rica.
    Yep. Much more to it. I just had a conversation which leads me to think the US government does have a hand in this.

    Bodog has now moved to Antigua, where, ironically, there is talk of ignoring US patents over the US failure to comply with the WTO ruling.

    Here's an interesting new development - could this be Bodog's next move? Something to ponder - what is the likely strategy behind this?


    St. John's, Antigua - Bodog Entertainment, the international entertainment powerhouse founded by noted Canadian Billionaire Calvin Ayre, is pleased to announce a brand licensing agreement, including the use of all Bodog domains and the Bodog trademark, with Morris Mohawk Gaming Group for operations and marketing of gaming in North America.

    Morris Mohawk is headed by noted First Nations leader Alwyn Morris, who is revered for winning two medals in kayaking in the 1984 Olympics and raising the symbolic eagle feather to honor his ancestors during the medal ceremony. For his Olympic accomplishments and his work with youth in the Health and Welfare Canada Native Drug Abuse Programme, Morris was made a member of the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honor in 1985.

    Since then, Morris has been involved in numerous sport, civic and business endeavors to forward the position of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. He is currently Director of the Council of Chiefs for the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake located in Montréal's South Shore.

    "We could not have found a more perfect partner than Alwyn Morris and Morris Mohawk Gaming Group. Morris is a true Canadian hero," says Ayre. "We are confident that Morris Mohawk will be able to give our North American customers the quality experience they have come to expect from Bodog."

    "Our deal with Bodog is another great addition to the business community that has developed in Kahnawake," adds Morris. "Working with the top brand in the industry will further solidify the extensive experience, knowledge base and importance of this vertical."

    Bodog continues to evolve its business model, and moving into a licensing agreement with Morris Mohawk Gaming Group for all North American gaming activities is in line with the company's plans for international expansion.

    About Morris Mohawk Gaming Group

    Morris Mohawk Gaming Group is located on the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, part of the seven communities that make up the Mohawk Nation and is licensed to offer gaming services to users worldwide. Morris Mohawk Gaming Group is led by noted Canadian sportsman and First Nations leader Alwyn Morris. The Bodog brand is operated for gaming in North America by Morris Mohawk Gaming Group under license. For more information please see www.MorrisMohawk.com.

    @ Mousey

    Reference your query on RTG and LVFH: If memory serves me well RTG at one stage licensed their poker offering from LVFH - I seem to recall that the relationship did not work out and was subsequently abandoned.

    Whatever might be said about this Morris guy, the Kahnawake Mohawk's are for the most part a band of criminals in Canada, involved in not only some phony gaming "licensing" scheme, but in cigarette and dope smuggling along the New York Quebec border. It's sort of like announcing an agreement with the Gambino family.

    It looks like part of the exit strategy for Calvin.

    I did just get an email from someone who is positive that there was an announcement a few months back that Bodog had bought out RTG. Anybody able to confirm that?

    You could always play at Bodog. The question is...why would you want to?

    i checked out their site once, and i swear it said canada was not allowed to play there. and i may have wanted to because the wiz pimps bodog exclusively and here at cm they seemed to garner a lot of praise. not so much post-uigea, but every casino has went downhill since that bomb dropped. unlike you, i have not known for years of calvin's crookedness, and in fact it might have been appealing to at least be losing to one of my countrymen. and obviously given what's happening in this thread, i'd have thought it obvious the "goody" comment was meant in jest. take care,

    Not sure about an announcement - we certainly didn't see one - but there was a rumour that Bodog had bought out RTG which no-one was able to confirm - the companies involved ignored emails asking for confirmation.

    And Bodog was not the only company rumoured to have bought RTG.

    Certainly Bodog was reported as having gone a step futher in licensing RTG software by buying the source code and developing it for their own unique version. But that was some time back.

    When the more recent news that RTG had sold up and was relocating to Costa Rica broke, I spoke to a couple of RTG guys who had elected not to make the move from Atlanta to CR and who were subsequently let go with generous deals.

    Both confirmed that RTG CEO Mike McMain was going to CR...and both said that they did not know who had bought the company, but that there had been some "suits from Curacao" on the premises during the negotiations and transitionary period.

    But this is all hearsay, and I have yet to see credible confirmation.

    Cool Calvin transmits Bodog's herpes to the Mohawks

    I think it is a safe bet that this Alwyn Morris is putting his Order of Canada award at risk, and further tainting the Mohawk's reputation, by climbing into bed with Calvin Ayre. Everything this guy touches these days seems to leave someone with a rash.It should be clear to anyone with more than a passing interest in online gambling that Bodog will headline the next list of indictments handed down by the DOJ.
    I hear a lot of speculation on the forums about how the DOJ is digging deeper into Ayre's recent trip to Russia and that would probably explain the delay in Bodog being taken out of the picture.
    Bodog has been in a death spiral for a long time now. I hope when it finally, and mercifully, crashes, that no one on the ground gets hurt. By that, I mean all those who are unaware of Bodog's legal woes, and still have money with Bodog!
    Does anyone know if this NewBodog is operating? I can't access it.
