Bodog Poker announced Wednesday night it will no longer be servicing players in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe.  Earlier this summer the company closed off accounts of those living in much of Eastern Europe. 

Bodog claims it is focusing on the ex-pat market throughout Asia.

This was a notice sent out to affiliate partners of the site:

Dear Partners,

In response to the press release made last week by the Bodog Brand on behalf of BodogUK (http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bodoguk-to-target-missing-millions-with-asia-optimised-website-171123011.html) we have the following changes to Bodog.co.uk

Bodog.co.uk

  • Bodog.co.uk is no longer accepting any new player registrations
  • Bodog.co.uk will remain in operation as a standalone Casino brand and will accept new signups in the future when its new Asian-optimised website is launched
  • As such, the Bodog.co.uk Sportsbook, Racebook and Poker Room features will be removed this Friday, October 5th
  • Players will have the option to request a cash out or continue playing on the casino product as usual

There are also changes to Bodog.eu as the Bodog brand will use the site to redirect the relevant players by region to a Bodog operated licensee:

Bodog.eu

  • Effective immediately Bodog.eu is no longer serving players directly but, where applicable, will redirect to the relevant Bodog licensed operator  
  • Bodog.eu players will have their balances paid out in full
  • If you have players who registered under Bodog.eu who sign up or continue to play with another Betting Partners brand you will still earn commission

Links and banners pointing to both of these operators should be removed immediately.

All legitimate commission payments for these partner brand sites will continue to be paid in full and this has no affect on our other partner brands in any way.

We thank you for your co-operation during these changes and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your account manager or support@bettingpartners.com

Best Regards,

Betting Partners

 

Bodog will reportedly continue to service online casino clients across much of Europe and the United Kingdom.  Sports betting will also be prohibited in these regions.
