Thank you Blowjob Becky, bodog.com belongs to you according to your site. We don’t care about your ill minded parties fuelled by black money and butt of all jokes.

@David, sorry you feel this way, but I stand by my original post.

If anyone would like factual information about Calvin, the Bodog Brand, or any of the Bodog Brand licensees, please take a look at bodogbrand.com or the wikipedia pages for Calvin Ayre and Bodog. For more on Calvin, he’s got plenty of original work at CalvinAyre.com along with igaming industry news and entertainment.

Regarding the 2009 Budapest conference, Calvin decided not to deliver a regular keynote speech and to spice things up a bit by delivering a “bodog style” mini-party. Love it or hate it, everyone was talking about it and it still comes up in conversation today…Calvin likes to keep things fun and outrageous.

On that note, I recommend that you don’t miss our upcoming party during the iGaming SUPER Show in Dublin, the 1 year CalvinAyre.com anniversary party and Calvin’s 50th birthday. This is going to be the biggest event the industry has ever seen.

@Becky: you are a funny girl. Are you paid by your boss to post all this whitewashing nonsense over the internet? Do you get extra cookies for that? Bodog.com is not sold, it is one of your ”licensees”. That’s what you say on your own sites. No one’s dumb though, this belongs to Calvin Ayre. It’s just a way to pretend he has nothing to do with it all anymore, to avoid going behind bars, it’s a revenue share deal of some sorts. And no vanity? Calvin Ayre is the biggest ego maniac there is in the online gambling industry. He did say catch me if you can, only regretting after wards inventing whatever. Brand building? Like when he got to the Budapest conference totally shit faced muttering gibberish? What brand is that? Or when he calls you ”Blowjob Becky” all over his site? Are you proud to work for that? You must really be starving for money to endorse such a company. I pity you.

Just to set the facts straight, Calvin Ayre did not own bodog.com when these seizures took place…he sold bodog.com to MorrisMohawk.com after the passing of the UIEGA and Alwyn Morris has released press stating that the money did not come from him…industry rumors say that the money grabbed was mostly from one of the big poker companies and another Sportsbook in CR. Also, Calvin was never on 60 minutes, or even in discussions to be on 60 minutes, and what he does is lifestyle brand building (similar to what Richard Branson does for Virgin), its not vanity at all, and many things attributed to Calvin in the media are just invented by the media…for example that “Catch me if you can” title was the reporter’s spin, and in fact, Calvin said the exact opposite, he felt that under international law what bodog did was entirely legal.

Also, the money seizures have continued and recently have been targeted entirely at the big private poker companies who still let US residents play. There is no evidence that Alwyn Morris’s bodog.com is any different than any other product in that market, and this entire situation has no bearing on other bodog branded licensees operating in other markets globally.

Thank you,
Becky

He did not have anything to do with that title “Catch me if you can” that was totally Forbes doing. He did not even know about that title until the magazine came out.
