To this end we will amend our Terms and Conditions to enable us to communicate any irregular gaming activity relating to the Olympics from Bodog.com and will pass on details of activity deemed to be irregular.”

Bodog Europe, the licensee who operates Bodog.co.uk and Bodog.ca, regulated and licensed by the gaming board of the UK Government-approved jurisdiction of Antigua, have also offered similar sentiments to the IOC.

Keith McDonnell, Managing Director of Bodog Europe, stated; “Bodog Europe is absolutely committed to ensuring that any irregular betting patterns are identified quickly and communicated to appropriate bodies, not just for the Winter Olympics, but for any sport upon which Bodog Europe accepts wagers.”

the 888 deal with Harrah’s proves that being in the USA market before the passing of the UIEGA won’t always be an impairment to future US-facing possibilities.
