Bodog.com is Live

[Richard-Bodog]

Today is an exciting day for Bodog.

On April 20th, 2009 Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (North American licensee for the Bodog brand) settled a long standing patent dispute with 1St Technology, gaining control of the Bodog.com domain. As of today we are back to business as usual at bodog.com and bodog.co.uk. We’re all very excited…this is just part of what's shaping up to be an extremely successful year for Bodog and its partners!

I wanted to start a thread to answer some questions that may arise from this community. Firstly, we are encouraging all affiliates to switch their links to bodog.com, as that’s where our site now lives. Essentially all you need to do is remove the “life” portion from any link that you have on your site; bodog.com is a complete mirror of bodoglife.com (including subdomains and deep links). For example a link such as "poker.bodoglife.com/welcome/AFFCODE/" simply becomes "poker.bodog.com/welcome/AFFCODE/" (where AFFCODE is your personal affiliate ID). This also holds true for any of the widgets or feeds that you are using including our xml feeds, sports matchups tool, embedded casino flash games, direct poker download link etc.

With respect to banners, for those of you that use our ad-server Connextra, we will take care of the changes on our end (this should take effect on Thursday). Those of you using the banners from our Affiliate Resource site (bodogaffiliatelife.com), you will be able to pick up new banner code on Thursday (or simply replace “bodoglife.com” with “Bodog.com”). The affiliate resource site will not be transitioned to it’s new url (bodogaffiliate.com) until Thursday.

As with any major development project (and the fact that users have multiple browsers and individual settings) there may be some minor bugs, if you come across any, please let us know.

To celebrate the transition back to bodog.com, we will be hosting an exclusive Freeroll for partners on June 28th with over $1000 in cash and prizes. The only requirement to be eligible for prizing is to ensure that you’ve updated your site – it’s that simple. Details will be made available in a special newsletter that will be sent out on Friday.


Cheers,
Richard
