Bodog conference canceled

[Justin]

Kind of surprising...

Dear Conference Subscriber,

Due to the uncertainty created by the U.S. Department of Justice's recent actions, the decision has been made to not proceed with the Bodog.com Marketing Conference at Atlantis in December.

With all the attention our industry has garnered in recent months by certain officials within the U.S. government, a number of speakers and attendees have communicated their apprehension about participating in an industry event of such magnitude. It is in light of these concerns, and with the best interest of all delegates in mind, that our decision to not proceed with the conference was made.

In an effort to bring together the elite of the online gamblíng industry, Bodog will continue hosting world-class WSOP-style Bodog-parties at various main events.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Be assured our decision was made with careful consideration for the safety of everyone involved.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
Calvin Ayre

Wow. Guess he didn't even feel safe in the Bahamas.

I wonder if Calvin is hiding under his desk right now. Seriously... the man has to be afraid to travel just about anywhere.

I actually hope we get something decided as far as law soon, because the U.S. government seems to almost be using the tactic of "arrest now deal with it later" mentality. It almost seems like they have more leverage now with it just up in the air. I'd like to see a fair and concrete law put into place. Obviously allowing online operators to live here, be regulated and be taxed would be the best.

The thing is, bookmaking is illegal in the US and that's what all of these guys are being arrested on right now.
