PARTING OF THE WAYS FOR GOLD AND BODOG

2 February 2007

World Series of Poker champ and online betting group call it quits

Poker-focused media report that the endorsement agreement between World Series of Poker 2006 champion Jamie Gold and online gambling group Bodog has been ended prematurely.

Reports said that a senior media executive at the offices of Bodog marketing company Riptown Media had confirmed the split, attributing it to normal commercial imperatives in the United States, including the termination of non-Internet advertising rather than the recent public row between Gold and a television producer over an alleged agreement to split Gold's WSOP paycheck.

The Riptown spokesmen is quoted as saying: "In light of our decision to cease all offline marketing initiatives in the U.S., and instead refocus our efforts on growing our entertainment brand in Europe and Asia, Bodog has ended our business relationship with Jamie Gold. Bodog has enjoyed our association with Mr. Gold and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavors."
