Following the loss of their primary domain, Bodog released a statement that Morris Mohawk Gaming Group were now controlling the company's business in the US market. In an effort to regain ''Bodog.com'', they appealed the initial court decision on the grounds that the domain was no longer owned by [[Calvin Ayre]] or [[Bodog]]. The appeal escalated to Washington but failed.

The loss of ''Bodog.com'' lead to a decrease in site traffic built on years of prior advertising campaigns. The company switched to ''BodogLife.com'' but suffered financial difficulties with the loss of new customers. On April 23, 2009 Morris Mohawk Gaming Group settled the lawsuit with 1st Technology LLC and regained control of ''Bodog.com''. Site traffic increased, and the company decided to expand into international markets. Sportsbooks launched in Canada (''Bodog.ca''), United Kingdom (''Bodog.co.uk''), and Asia (''Bodog88.com''). The brand continued to grow, including sponsoring English Premier League teams Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion.
