Deliver Us From Swedish Furniture

Bodog.com, NewBodog.com - but hey, what’s in a name!

A quick update, it appears that the problem stems from a dubious patent infringement claim. Bodog, not being a US company, did not respond to it as they felt it was outside the juristiction of the court, so the judge awarded the name to the patent holder

So, Bodog are having some ‘issues’ with the Bodog.com name. According to their release there is a legal issue around the ownership affecting them. They really are not having too much luck over the last year or so, I mean who would have thought that after sponsoring lasy year’s World Series of Poker winner, Jamie Gold, you would get so much negative publicity….who said there is no such thing as bad publicity

Good luck to them though, I honestly hope they sort it out soon. I live in the UK where we can play poker online, where it is regulated. This means they are policed, aren’t laundering money and you are pretty damn sure you are going to be able to get your money out (I should point out that Bodog are licensed over here) which sounds like the sensible way to go about things. I mean you’ve seen those casinos in Vegas? Something must have paid for those, something good for the economy? Don’t hear too much about gangsters running the place these days, maybe something to do with the regulation and legislation in Vegas? However for some reason Bush and chums still seem to think that prohibition is the smart way to go and are doing everything they can to stop US based folk playing. I know some people have gambling problems, but some people have drink and mental health problems, it does not mean that you ban drink or brains….ahhhh, now I understand where George is coming from
