As seen in other threads here at the GPWA, the U.S. Department of Justice has seized more online gambling domain names, the biggest of which is DoylesRoom.com. However, the DoJ has not seized what is one of the most recognizable online gambling brand names around: Bodog.com.
The DoJ won't get the chance to seize Bodog.com, because as of today, the domain is no more. Bodog.com is now Bodog.eu.
From Gaming Intelligence:
Kahnawake licensed online gaming operator Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) has dropped its Bodog.com domain licence agreement in favour of Bodog.eu, in a move which the group claims will aid its expansion into Asia and Latin America.
According to BodogBrand, Bodog’s global brand owner and licensor, MMGG took the decision to expand internationally in December 2010 and has already started work on one new country. As part of its expansion strategy, MMGG chose to replace dot.com with Bodog.eu because it represents a “more global domain”.
