In other news, the entertainment and online gambling giant announced this
week that it would be pulling all gaming advertising in the U.S. in order to
focus its efforts on expansion in international markets, and that it had moved
its headquarters from Costa Rica to Antigua.
"Though the online gaming environment in the U.S. seems to be headed down a
path toward eventual regulation, the current climate calls for even more focus
of our gaming-related advertising dollars into markets that face Europe and
Asia," said Bodog founder and CEO Calvin Ayre in a statement. "We couldn't be
better positioned to build upon our current success and growth and to continue
our aggressive push toward international expansion into markets such as Europe
and Asia."
About the Antigua move, he commented:
"This is another step aimed toward strengthening our business model," said
Ayre. "This accords our gaming division a license in a safe, reliable and
well-regulated jurisdiction and Antigua is also the right jurisdiction from
where to run our European expansion."
