Bodog Goes to Antigua

With the United States’ “War on Internet Gambling” many companies have been seeking refuge in other parts of the world to do their business. One of those companies is Bodog Nation, who has found a new home in Antigua. Calvin Ayre says he was looking for the perfect place to move his business when he found the lovely Antigua and he knew he was home.

Ayre finalized the purchase of BetCorp PLC in November of last year, and now they are operating from there. He says that he couldn’t have picked a better place to operate his online gaming company as the Federal Gaming License that he got is as “strongly regulated as anything that exists anywhere else in the world.” He says they were also just endorsed once again by the World Trade Organization, which only adds to their strength.

He said obviously the country cannot license everyone, and that they are going to have to be careful who they do license, but he has found his heaven for his company. This arrangement has been good for Antigua as well as they have been fighting with the US for online gambling disputes which has cost them millions of dollars. The industry has lost a minimum of 400 jobs since it all started, and with Bodog Nation now on board they can hope to recoup some of those losses.

Bodog has been operating out of Antigua since December, and they say it is the best thing that could have happened for them. They are going to have a significant impact on the island economically both with the online gaming sector and the other aspects of the company such as their Music and TV channels.
