Bodog founder running scared - again
Bodog.com cancels its conference again
Bodog.com has cancelled its second attempt at putting on a conference in Nassau, Bahamas during the month of December.
Bodog Founder, Calvin Ayre, issued a statement Tuesday night.
“Due to the uncertainty created by the U.S. Department of Justice's recent actions, the decision has been made to not proceed with the Bodog.com Marketing Conference at Atlantis in December.
With all the attention our industry has garnered in recent months by certain officials within the U.S. government, a number of speakers and attendees have communicated their apprehension about participating in an industry event of such magnitude.
It is in light of these concerns, and with the best interest of all delegates in mind, that our decision to not proceed with the conference was made.
In an effort to bring together the elite of the online gamblíng industry, Bodog will continue hosting world-class WSOP-style Bodog-parties at various main events.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Be assured our decision was made with careful consideration for the safety of everyone involved.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Calvin Ayre
Bodog.com Founder “
Bodog.com cancelled its original conference in Las Vegas following the much publicized arrest of British online gambling CEO David Carruthers in the US. Carruthers served as the head of BetonSports.com prior to that company shutting down and terminating its detained CEO.
The Casino Affiliate Convention held in Las Vegas last week witnessed a huge decline in attendance following yet another arrest of an online gambling exec. Peter Dicks was picked up at a New York airport on a Louisiana State arrest warrant but was later released.
CAC anticipated close to 1000 attendees but when all was said and done, approximately 300 actually showed up. A large percentage of online gaming exhibitors pulled out at the last minute.
