Update: US Market Loses Bodog

However, Morris Mohawk Group announces the launch of a new brand in the U.S.

Facing the expiration of the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group's licencing agreement at the end of this year, Bodog has definitely announced its withdrawal from the U.S. market as of today, Dec. 14.

Still, there’s the solution for US customers who will be deprived of their favorite venue: Morris Mohawk Gaming Group has announced the launch of its own proprietary brand BOVADA, which will feature a new look, new name and exquisite service range, and to which Bodog’s existing customers will be migrated.

According to an email from the group, "From today, December 14th, Morris Mohawk Gaming Group will continue to operate as it has for over 4 years, just under its new name, BOVADA, at www. bovada.lv

"Your account and balance has automatically been transferred to the new website and you are able to log in to the site using your existing account details and password.

“Bovada.lv is fully operational and the new website offers upgraded features that include a new flash lobby, upgraded navigation to purchase and cash out chips and a more user-friendly account section.

And although the.lv domain suffix is used as a country-code top-level domain for Latvia, it is Morris Mohawk's intention to use the domain "to remind our players of Las Vegas, the number one gambling destination in the U.S. We believe .lv reflects that feeling of fun and entertainment our players have when they visit Las Vegas and it's our hope for them to have a similar experience when playing with Bovada.lv.”
