Bodog Affiliate Program Resources - General Write Ups

One of the more successful places for driving signups on affiliate sites is through a review section.  Before a player opens an account they want information about the different options that are out there, and consider things such as safety, customer service, deposit options.  By providing that information on your site players won’t have to search the rest of internet, and you won’t potentially lose a customer.  Bodog offers write ups to our affiliates highlighting the features of each of our product channels, in different lengths to fit your page. Be sure to sign in with your affiliate account number to add your tracking to the links imbedded in these write-ups.

About Bodog:

Bodog is one of the world’s most successful and well-established digital entertainment and online gaming giants with a well-deserved reputation for being safe and secure while offering top quality customer service.

In 2007, Bodog signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) of the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada, making MMGG the sole operator of the Bodog online gaming brand in North America. MMGG is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission of Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada.

It all starts; however, with a superior online gaming experience featuring exciting poker action, the best horse racing from around the globe in our racebook, an industry-leading sportsbook, thrilling games of skill and luck in the casino and, in 2008, Bodog announced its newest innovation, a mobile casino client that puts Bodog’s top casino games in the palm of your hand.

Beyond gameplay, Bodog has always provided its players with chances to live the good life. Whether that’s giving away amazing prizes, awarding huge jackpots or flying hundreds of online poker players to Vegas to play for millions at the World Series, Bodog knows how to play hard.

With all of the above considered, the key to Bodog’s success is the importance placed on quality customer service – players are never more than a mouse click or a phone call away. Bodog makes it easy for players to request information, services and support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Today, Bodog continues to grow at an amazing pace, fed by the ever-increasing popularity of online gaming and digital entertainment. And Bodog is never far from the headlines: Whether due to Founder Calvin Ayre appearing on the cover of Forbes magazine’s 2006 "Billionaires" issue or offering a provocative bet that made headlines around the world (for the record, Heather Mills, Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, did not lose her prosthetic leg during the taping of Dancing With the Stars), Bodog is everywhere.

About Founder Calvin Ayre:

Not many people make the jump from the farmlands of northern Canada to membership in the global billionaire’s club, but that’s exactly the storyline of Calvin Ayre’s dream life.

Born to farmer parents on May 25, 1961 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan–a small town on the 53rd parallel that he says is colder than a well digger’s belt buckle–Ayre founded online gaming giant Bodog with just $10,000 in 1994. Since then, the company’s grown from a small online gaming startup into a multi-faceted global entertainment brand.

Although he’s always maintained the hard work ethic of his upbringing in the frigid Canadian climate, Calvin’s now hotter than one of the lavish, bikini-littered Antiguan pool parties that he’s been known to throw.

"It’s safe to say my life’s changed pretty substantially since those days on the farm," says Ayre. "A private jet, a few houses in the tropics and many, many more beautiful women."

The ambitious entrepreneur was named one of Star Magazine’s most eligible billionaire bachelors, one of People Magazine’s hottest bachelors and graced the cover of Forbes Magazine’s best-selling 2006 billionaires’ issue. "Being named one of Star’s hottest bachelors isn’t too bad for the reputation," says Ayre, "but being on the cover of Forbes? That’s like winning the Super Bowl for a business man."

Calvin’s pioneering success in online gaming has branched into areas like television and music, with signed artists like legendary hip-hop act Wu–Tang Clan and production of some of the largest events in mixed martial arts history. In fact, Bodog Fight: Clash of the Nations drew a sold–out crowd to St. Petersburg’s Ice Palace, an audience that included Russian President Vladimir Putin who invited Ayre and the Bodog fighters back to his residence after the event.

"It’s been a long, strange trip these last few years, but that one was a real honor," says Ayre of the invite from Putin. "It’s not every day that you get to go to dinner at the home of a head of state."

In more recent years, Ayre’s focus has shifted toward international expansion. In 2007, Bodog began to enlarge the staff of its European operation and hired a general manager to construct a plan for expanding into Asia. To coincide with its expansion in Europe, in December 2007 Bodog’s European website went live at www.bodoglife.co.uk.

Ayre is also a committed philanthropist, donating countless hours and dollars to the Calvin Ayre Foundation (www.calvinayrefoundation.org), which, among other things, focuses on global issues such as the environment, improving the health and educational conditions of under–privileged children and fighting the horrors of bear bile farming and evils of animal cruelty.

"What’s the good of being successful if you can’t share it and have a little fun in the process?" Ayre says.

In 2008, Ayre funded the creation and distribution of a graphic novel called Ayre Force. The graphic novel brought the plight of bear bile farming to the forefront and raised awareness of an issue that is largely unknown by the general public. All materials used in the creation and distribution of Ayre Force were environmentally friendly and all proceeds from the sale of the graphic novel went towards putting an end to bear bile farming once and for all.

Recently, the Calvin Ayre Foundation helped finance an upgrade to a school on Ayre’s tropical island home of Antigua, and he says he’s happy to give back to the island.

"Bodog’s global head office and gaming operations are run from Antigua," says Ayre. "Antigua is heaven. I probably sound like a broken record because I’ve been telling everyone I meet how great things have been since the move to this tropical paradise, but it’s the truth. I’m not sure how I can ever repay the Antiguan people for what they’ve given me."

In the spring of 2008, Ayre officially announced his retirement from Bodog to focus on the works of his charitable foundation, though he doesn’t plan on giving up his bad boy lifestyle anytime soon.

"With the global expansion of Bodog in the last few years, I’ve spent so much time traveling the world that I’ve rarely stayed in one location for more than a few weeks at a time," says Ayre. "Now that I’m retired, I plan to take full advantage of living in the tropical paradise that is Antigua. The sun, the beaches, the girls... It’s amazing."

About Morris Mohawk Gaming Group:

Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG) is the exclusive licensee of the Bodog brand for online gaming services in North America and is led by Alwyn Morris, Olympic gold medalist, Order of Canada recipient, noted Canadian sportsman, First Nations leader and former Associate Director for the Mohawk Council of Chiefs in Kahnawake.

MMGG is located in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake – part of the seven communities that make up the Mohawk Nation – just outside Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission to offer gaming services from Kahnawake to users worldwide. Bodog has entered into a license agreement with MMGG to allow this group to use various elements of the Bodog brand within North America to market MMGG’s services.

About CEO Alwyn Morris:

Alwyn Morris’ leadership, determination and conviction have won him Olympic gold as an athlete and the Order of Canada for his work with drug and alcohol prevention programs; now he leads one of the most important business ventures in his community’s history.

Morris is the CEO of the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group (MMGG), the company that holds the exclusive license to use the Bodog brand within North America to market online gaming services.

"This position allows me to go beyond what I was doing as a bureaucrat, and I feel that is my responsibility to my community," says Morris. "In essence, we have a deal that allows the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group to utilize the Bodog brand name in North America that will result in the creation of both jobs and opportunities in Kahnawake."

Morris is the former Associate Director for the Mohawk Council of Chiefs in Kahnawake which made him a principal advisor for the Council in many forms of government and third party negotiations. He met the billionaire founder of Bodog, Calvin Ayre, through mutual friends, and shortly thereafter, the two began laying the groundwork for the brand licensing agreement that is in place today.

"We started talking over dinner, expanded on the discussion afterward, and all of a sudden it became a reality, "says Morris. "It was the right time, for the right people, for the right deal."

Morris was born of the Turtle Clan in Kahnawake, a key territory of the Kanien:keha’ka or Mohawk First Nations located just outside Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Kahnawake is home to both the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) and Mohawk Internet Technologies (MIT). KGC is a 10-year-old world-renowned provider of regulation and security for the online gaming industry, while MIT houses nearly half the planet’s online gaming company servers. The MMGG licensing agreement with Bodog, however, is one of a kind.

With his experience as a community leader and gold medalist at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Calif., Morris feels he is perfectly positioned to take on the role of CEO of the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group.

"Athletics and business are very similar: commitment and focus on a goal and making it happen," says Morris. "The other art is having fun with it. You don’t just get in to business or international sport because it’s a job. You have fun with it. If you have fun with it and enjoy it then everything else seems to fall into place."
