Bodog launches poker network

[The Buzz]

Bodog has been in the news quite a bit lately (including the latest edition of the GPWA Times Magazine) and the online giant is at it again. Bodog is launching the Bodog Network, with former Ongame Network CEO Patrik Selin on board.

The Network's player base will consist of Bodog Europe, the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, and Haydock Entertainment.

From Poker News Daily:

The newly forged network plans to incorporate non-Bodog domains starting in 2010. A gaming license for the European Union will also be unveiled next year. Selin commented in a press release distributed by Bodog, “I intend to build one of the largest and most reputable poker networks in the world. We are building a model that is founded on security and integrity, and Bodog Network partners will never need to disclose or put their customer databases at risk. The initial discussions I’ve had regarding potential candidate partners have been overwhelmingly positive.”

Very interesting, curious to see how this pans out.

This way they get the EU license. Wasn't there an issue with them getting one earlier?
