    Here is a report about it.

    Haley Hintze believes that this seizure is "for show" and is simply meant to pressure Calvin Ayre to make a deal with authorities.

    It should also be noted that Bodog has been using bodog.co.uk and bovada.lv for its operations since April 2011, so bodog.com isn't really used very much anymore.

    It's also going to be 'for show' when he spends the rest of his adult life in a cage.

    The .com url has been seized for a long time now but they still have the .eu.

    Not sure the exact date it was seized but this is an article back in 2012 I found from a quick search.

    Legal to stop your car and pull a gun on a fellow driver.

    Legal to sue a soda company for not giving you wings.

    Legal for politicians to accept billions of dollars in donations from big business companies who expect the favour to be returned - with interest.

    Legal to keep prisoners for years on end without charge.

    Legal to spy on its own citizens emails.

    Illegal to fire up your laptop and play a game of poker with your OWN hard earned reddies.

    Last week, the U.S. District Court in Maryland said in a filing that a deal had been reached with Ayre and other Bodog executives in July, but was not finalized, and as a result, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Kay is "pursuing extradition."

    Ayre, along with James Philip, David Ferguson and Derrick Maloney, have been accused violating the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act for accepting money from U.S. gamblers to make bets after the law was passed in 2006.

    A previous version of this story stated that U.S. authorities had recently seized the Bodog.com domain. That seizure actually occurred in 2012.
    Interesting they hammered out a deal but then didn't finalize it.

    like BnP pointed out, this domain has been seized since 2012. Weird for this to pop up again now.

    Haley says it was given back to them at some point, but just re-seized recently.

    It might have but I've accidentally loaded up the .com page a few times over the last year or two and always saw the homeland security logo anytime I loaded bodog.com.

    Regardless, as you said in the original post the dot com url has been worthless since shortly after Black Friday.

    The Wayback Machine does not back up this claim, and Haley's looking into it.

    How much money was Bodog.com worth?

    Calvin Ayre spent million advertising it and I remember some guy was able to steal the domain for a few years because attorneys for Bodog didn't defend a case in court.
    They even advertised the Bodog logo on the video game Scarface:The World is Yours.

    Now the U.S. government wants Calvin Ayre extradited to face federal charges.

    They have been using bovada.lv for years now - bodog.com was gone long ago. Stop running at the mouth you mental midget.

    LET'S NOT FORGET HERE THAT CALVIN AYRE IS GOD!

    He's been playing the same game of catch me if you can with the US government for years.

    According to a fast Google search they claim Ayre is worth about $1 to $1.5 billion dollars. It's hard to say but with all the years they were operating not just poker but a sportsbook and casino that shouldn't surprise anyone. If you got a billion invested places with even a lower risk profile and make 5% a year it's nice $50 million per year in interest to screw around with. The rich will always get richer obv.
