As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, [https://bettingwiki.org/homepage/Bodog Bodog] has become one of the most commonly used betting sites among Canadian residents. This popularity can be attributed to the company's frequent radio and television advertising campaigns. [https://bettingwiki.org/homepage/Bodog Bodog] offers sportsbetting, casino games, poker, and horse racing.

In the years to follow Bodog founder [[Calvin Ayre]] continued to develop the brand through sponsored events and advertising campaigns. Ayre capitalized on the rise of online poker's popularity following the 2003 [[WSOP]] by sponsoring David Williams and Josh Arieh, the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the following year's tournament. Bodog aired commercials advertising free-to-play poker on their alternative domain ''bodog.net''. This allowed them to avoid United States gambling advertisement restrictions while still promoting the brand name. Players looking for the free-to-play poker on a search engine would find the real version first as the main site ranked higher.

=== 2007-2009: Domain Seizure ===
On August 28, 2007 ''Bodog.com'' went offline. Customers were sent an e-mail informing them that the site would return as soon as possible. [[1st Technology, LLC]] had seized the domain for violation of a patent on the transmission of information over a network with reduced bandwidth. The company had first contacted Bodog offices in July 2005. A lawsuit was filed in September 2006 after not receiving a reply. Bodog representatives failed to appear in court, leading to the judge ordering a default judgement in March 2007. Bodog was required to pay 1st Technology, LLC $48,937,456 for patent infringement.

Retrieved on 2019-09-22</ref>]] Following the court loss Bodog announced that Morris Mohawk Gaming Group were now operating the brand's business in the US market. The court decision was appealed on the grounds that the domain ''Bodog.com'' was no longer owned by Bodog or [[Calvin Ayre]]. The appeal reached Washington courts but ultimately failed. The betting site was forced to switch to a new domain ''BodogLife.com''. The loss of site traffic built on years of prior advertising campaigns lead to financial difficulties. On April 23, 2009 Morris Mohawk Gaming Group regained control of ''Bodog.com'' after settling the lawsuit with 1st Technology, LLC. This restored site traffic, allowing the company to expand into international markets. Bodog launched new sportsbooks in Asia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The brand continued to grow overseas through the sponsorship of English Premier League teams West Brom and Arsenal.
