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.

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.

Interesting they hammered out a deal but then didn't finalize it.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.

like BnP pointed out, this domain has been seized since 2012. Weird for this to pop up again now.
So the 4k I have spread put on bovada this week are pretend bets or is there sister still alright?
calvin ayre is a drunk bloated orphan
free yEBSITE
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.
Yep, its been seized.

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.

Summary:
A federal indictment was returned by the United States District Court of Maryland charging one business and four members of an online gambling and money laundering conspiracy on charges in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. 1955, Operating an Illegal Gambling Business and Title 18 U.S.C. 1956(a)(2)(A), Money Laundering. AYRE was one of the individuals indicted in this case.
Warning:
Do not attempt to apprehend any subject. If you have information about the whereabouts of these fugitives, immediately contact your local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office or call the national hotline at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE as soon as possible!
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.
shit just got real....
