Anyone having trouble logging into bodog? and accessing their website?

#1 28-08-2007, 4:19 PM

As of yesterday noon, I can't seem to access bodog's software because of some connection problem. However all my other online applications are working just fine, with the exception of bodog. In addition, i can't access their website. I'm getting a "Server not found" both on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Please tell me it's now just me.

OK, never mind. This seems to be a redundant thread.

#3 28-08-2007, 6:25 PM

exactly the same thing is happening to me have you contacted them?

#4 28-08-2007, 7:19 PM

I've tried emailing them, but the email failed. Probably because of server problems.

#5 28-08-2007, 7:24 PM

You've got to be kidding me.....they change their software completely on the fly like that? I started the previous thread, it has been out since yesterday afternoon...I was in a tournament. So you're saying we have to download new software....Interesting. I have called them twice and haven't got that response, but I will try it.

Here's what I found on their website.....

Welcome to the new (temporary) Bodog. As you may know by now, Bodog.com is experiencing a technical issue impacting our players' ability to access our website.
This is the result of a legal dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name. We are fighting this dispute. We are confident that we will win, but until all is settled, I do not want our battle to interrupt your play.
So, I present you with newbodog.com. You won't notice very many changes: same website, same brand, same product, and same service. Just a new domain name.
We are working to resolve any remaining issues on the temporary site as soon as possible, and fully expect to have our original site back up shortly.
I sincerely apologize if you were affected by our interruption and assure you that I will update you soon.
Regards,
Calvin Ayre

Sounds like somethings up to me...anyone else?

Hi all,
Just found this regarding bodog and the domain issue:
Bodog Domain Move Due to Disputed Patent-Case Judgment

August 29, 2007
Amy Calistri

More light has been shed on Bodog's recent difficulties, resulting in their mid-week URL change. On Tuesday, Bodog's owner Calvin Ayre's disclosed that the company was involved in a dispute relative to their domain name (www.bodog.com) ownership, which had spilled over to DNS performance issues. Today it was learned that the dispute actually involves a case of patent infringement brought forward by 1st Technology Inc.

In a lawsuit filed in the state of Nevada, 1st Technology alleged that Bodog's software infringed on their patents filed in the US and elsewhere in the world. Bodog apparently failed to appear in court to answer the allegations and a default judgment was issued against them on

August 1, 2007. Bodog has been ordered to pay $49 million in damages. Also included in the judgment was the removal of all DNS servers associated with Bodog and Calvin Ayre. However, whether the patent infringement alleged actually applies to Bodog's online services remains a point of heated debate.

1st Technology is a leading technology licensing company with a specialized portfolio of multi-media patents for advanced gaming. A number of online gaming and interactive media companies have licensed 1st Technologies' patents including Chartwell Technology Inc., Excapsa Software Inc., and Playtech Ltd.

This is not the first time that 1st Technology has gone to the litigation well to secure licensing agreements in cases of patent infringement. In December 2005, SportingBet PLC and Paradise Poker entered into a licensing agreement with 1st Technology to resolve patent litigation claims between the parties. Likewise, NDS Group PLC and Orbis Technology also agreed to a licensing deal as a means to settle the claim against them for patent infringement in 2005.

Bodog is now operating under a new URL and according to the message on their now-moved website state that they are "fighting this dispute. We are confident that we will win, but until all is settled, I do not want our battle to interrupt your play."

Everyone within the entire internet gambling industry is starting to take notice today of how the Bodog.com domain name hijacking applies to their businesses. No matter if you are an operator or an affiliate, everyone needs to realize that what happened to Calvin Ayre and Bodog Entertainment can happen to any other internet gambling operator.

Point-Spreads.com has spoken to several operators that have expressed their concern over the incident. While most of his competitors are usually overjoyed in his misery, all that we have spoken to have been nothing but supportive of the situation Ayre finds himself in after his prized domain name was redirected due to a default judgment against his company for $48 million dollars.

"We are watching what happens with the Bodog domain name case very closely," stated a Bodog competitor. "What happened to Calvin can happen to anyone in the internet gambling industry and our legal team is already advising us on how we should proceed to prevent this from happening to our domain names."

Mel Molnick has a registered patent that basically says he invented internet gambling. I know the thought of this reminds everyone reading this article of Al Gore bragging about how he invented the internet. On the surface it does appear as if Molnick created internet gambling, I am not joking either, at least as far as the US patent office is concerned! Everyone in the internet gambling industry realizes however that people were doing various forms of gambling via the internet before Molnick’s patent was awarded.

Method patents are widely litigated and Molnick's internet gambling method patent can be challenged in court but the real question is:

What can a internet gambling operator do in order to avoid the opportunistic Molnick from holding them hostage?

1.) Change the ownership of their URLS around on a continual basis.

By changing the domain name ownership often, it will be virtually impossible to secure a court order against the specific owner of the URL because it will constantly be influx.

2.) Change the registrar of the domain name to one that is based outside of the jurisdiction of US courts.

While this does not 100% prevent a domain name hijacking from taking place, it certainly will make it more difficult, time consuming and costly for the party poker trying to acquire the domain name.

Point-Spreads.com has spoken to several affiliates this morning after reading our article about the Bodog.com domain name hijacking. The Bodog team was able to get a mirrored website up at NewBodog.com within 12 hours of the domain name being hijacked.

"Bodog was very reactive to my needs as an affiliate right from the beginning of the issue," stated super affiliate Bones McCoy of 1800-Sports.com. "I already re-routed the tracking codes to the NewBodog.com URL and it is business as usually as far as I am concerned."
