BODOG TO ENTER EUROPEAN MARKET

15 June 2007

Restricted US market triggers the need for wider horizons

According to reports in eGaming Review this week, the Antigua-based online gambling and entertainment group Bodog.com has confirmed it has ambitious plans for a push into the European market "within months." Asked for comment by InfoPowa, Bodog PR said that "soft launch" planning was in progress and that further information would be made available soon.

The company hopes to launch its poker product in Europe in the autumn, with a full sportsbook offering to follow by the end of the year.

Despite the US clampdown on Internet gambling financial transactions, Bodog and its founder Calvin Ayre have been at the forefront of the US-facing online gaming industry, first out of Costa Rica and latterly from the company’s new hub in Antigua.

In recent years Bodog has increasingly diversified into TV and music entertainment, and the European launch of the Bodog gaming products will likely be accompanied by news of the Bodog Music (Europe) signing of the Wu Tang Clan.
