Bodog Brands’ In Agreement With IOC For Integrity Of Vancouver 2010 Olympics
The Bodog Brand which holds the global rights to license the Bodog brand across all sectors, including online gaming, music, and other entertainment properties, has announced in a press release that the two licensees of the Bodog Brand that are accepting wagers on the Vancouver 2010 Olympics have reacted to a request from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to safeguard the integrity of the 2010 Winter Olympics and report any suspicious betting activity.
In a letter from Alwyn Morris, a gold medallist himself in the Summer Olympics of 1984, and CEO of the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) who operate Bodog.com, to the IOC, he confirmed; "MMGG understand and support the IOC position and are keen to assist. 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."

Betfair Poker to sponsor Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT)
Betfair Poker, which is a part of Betfair, the world’s biggest online betting community that pioneered the first successful betting exchange in 2000, has announced an exclusive headline sponsorship of Season 4 of the Amateur Poker Association & Tour (APAT). The tour has enjoyed rapid growth in its three seasons to date, becoming Europe’s largest amateur poker organisation, boasting over 20,000 registered members. Season 4 will see APAT host twenty eight live tournaments in total, in both the UK and Ireland, and as an exciting addition this Season’s tour, three events in mainland Europe. Betfair Poker will be the exclusive online qualifying home for APAT, and will also host the APAT National Online Championship and League fixtures.
While Betfair Poker has traditionally sponsored high-end Poker events, such as its headline sponsorship of the World Series of Poker Europe, this partnership recognises its commitment to poker whatever the stakes. Betfair Poker will offer APAT members the added value chance to win 33 seats to the GUKPT main events, as well as 23 seats to APAT Professional events. In addition, APAT’s leading amateur and professional player at the end of the Season will each win a £20,000 APAT sponsorship package for 2011.
Des Duffy; Managing Director, commented “APAT launched the UK’s first national poker tour in 2006 and it has become a proving ground for new and developing players, with members winning WSOP, EPT and GUKPT titles, amongst many others. This partnership with Betfair Poker brings a well-known and respected brand to APAT, as well as a tremendous amount of additional value and opportunity for our members”.
Matt Mowlam, Head of UK Poker for Betfair Poker added,
“Our tie-up with APAT signals our commitment to grass roots poker. APAT are a professionally run, fun tour, and one that has been keenly contested by thousands of players in the three seasons to date. This partnership offers something to all players from across the Poker spectrum, who previously may not have been able to enjoy Betfair’s famed Live Event hospitality. It’s great for both parties and I'm looking forward to another record breaking season.”

$5 Million Touchdown: A slot game befitting the Super Bowl event
Vegas Technology's 5 Reel and 20 payline video slot game $5 Million Touchdown has been chosen by the Silver Dollar Casino as the game of a tournament called Super Bowl XLIV, obviously to cater online casino players, especially those from America, who are also fans of American and Canadian football and are waiting since weeks for the kick-off of the duel of the giants between New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts on February 7. The highlight of this vodeo slot is the bonus round where you get a chance on a football field to touchdown unless you fumble on your way to the end zone.
However, you may end up winning $5 Million even if you fumble in the bonus round, provided you manage to get 5 Scatter symbols on the screen.
