KAHNAWAKE, CANADA – On April 21, 2009, Morris Mohawk Gaming Group officially announced that it had reached an agreement resulting in the settlement of all pending patent litigation against a then defunct supplier company, which also resulted in the return of the world-renowned Bodog.com domain. After much discussion and careful consideration, it was determined that the Bodog.com domain is simply too valuable an asset to be used solely as a geo-targeted redirect. As such, it is with great pride that Morris Mohawk Gaming Group announces the official return of Bodog.com. Starting today, Bodog.com will once again become the center of operations for the Bodog brand’s United States facing business!

“Gaining ownership of the Bodog.com domain was a moment of immense pride for me, it felt akin to taking ownership of a piece of Bodog’s history,” says Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. “As the exclusive licensee of the Bodog brand for online gaming in the United States, we are overjoyed to not only be a part of the return of one of the industry’s most prestigious and recognizable domains, but to also be the driving force behind the brands operation in that market. Bodog.com is back and here to stay!”

Even though the Bodog.com domain will house the brand’s U.S. facing business, the return of the domain will be beneficial for all of the brand’s global licensees as, regardless of a player’s location, going to Bodog.com will automatically redirect that player to the appropriate licensee for their jurisdiction.

The official return of Bodog’s U.S. facing business to the Bodog.com domain is another addition to the growing list of achievements and milestones that’s making 2009 a banner year for the Bodog brand, and one of the brands best years to date. Best of all, the halfway mark of 2009 has only just passed, and there are sure to be more big announcements from the brand before the year is out!

On May 22, Bodog announced Bodog.com was on the verge of hitting its 3 millionth sign-up milestone, and they’re happy to announce that Charles C. of AZ is Bodog.com’s lucky 3 millionth sign-up! Along with being the only person able to boast about being the 3 millionth sign-up for one of the world’s top online gaming companies, Charles was rewarded the exclusive 3 millionth sign-up prize package, and he knows just how he’s going to use it.

The exclusive 3 millionth sign-up prize package consisted of $100 in BodogLive credits, $100 in Casino chips, $25 to be used in the Racebook, and a $109 buy-in to one of Bodog.com’s Sunday $100,000 guaranteed online poker tournaments.

Elizabeth Fairview, a writer for Bodog.com’s blog, the Bodog Beat, had a chance to talk with Charles about becoming lucky number 3 million, and his plans for the exclusive prize package.

Charles, primarily a Football and Racebook bettor, when asked why he chose Bodog.com, said “I came to Bodog for the convenience of betting live versus driving 30 miles to place a bet,” and place a bet he did. After placing a few singles and a Quinella Box on the ponies, he was contacted, given the good news, and awarded his exclusive 3 millionth sign-up prize package. When asked how he plans to spend his new found bankroll, he said he’ll be putting his $100 in BodogLive credits towards some in-game action on his favorite NBA team, the L.A. Lakers, in the finals. He plans to take his $100 in Casino chips to the dice tables, and may even jump in on some Pai Gow action. But what’s got our lucky 3 millionth sign-up more excited than anything else is this weekend’s 141st Belmont Stakes, where he’s picked Derby winner “Mine That Bird” or “Chocolate Candy” to take down the race, and the upcoming NFL season, where he’ll be rooting for his favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings, to have a big year!

With Bodog.com’s 3 millionth sign up announced, and the exclusive prize package awarded, it’s time to look ahead to even bigger milestones, like our 4 millionth sign-up and the 15 year anniversary of the Bodog brand. Big things are in the works for the Bodog brand, and 2009 is going to truly be a banner year for the brand. Don’t miss a minute of the action and excitement, visit www.bodog.com!
