April 21, 2008 - Calvin Ayre, the internationally noted billionaire playboy founder of Bodog, will be retiring from his largely ceremonial role as the face of Bodog.

Additionally he will no longer be involved in Bodog operationally. In mid 2007 he successfully transferred ownership of the Bodog brand in North America to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group. Internationally Bodog has put in place a very competent and significantly European executive team that is already managing Bodog Europe and Africa and plans to further expand to Latin America.

Ayre will be taking some time to himself in his home in Antigua and will continue to support charitable opportunities through the Calvin Ayre Foundation.

Ayre noted that, “While it has been great fun to live my life in front of the world’s cameras and online though my blog, I am looking forward to a more private and meaningful period of giving back and working to support the Calvin Ayre Foundation.”

About Bodog

Bodog has its head office, and is licensed in, the Caribbean nation of Antigua. Bodog (www.bodoglife.com) offers online gaming, which includes Poker, Casino and a host of other gaming products. Bodog does not offer ‘for money’ gaming services within North America. For more information, contact Media Relations at pr@bodoglife.com.

NOTE FROM TONY GEORGE: Although there has been a shift from the management standpoint at BoDog, and I know Calvin personally, I can assure all my clients who have accounts at BoDog, they are safe, secure and well funded. I have had accounts at BoDog for 6 years with never an issue. A change at the top does nothing but enhance this giant of a company in offshore gaming as well as Canadaian gaming where there main operations are now running.

Between Bodog and Bet US, you have 2 of the strongest, most ethical gaming outlets on-line in the USA on my site. I would strongly suggest reporting all winnings made from on-line outlets that you receive in the form of 1099's being filled out in order to comply with federal tax regulations in terms of reported income.
