1st Technology Needs Recourse

In an ongoing saga concerning the online casino industry, 1st Technology was awarded control over Bodog Entertainment Group’s U.S. domain names. Once 1st Technology had control last week, the technology development company discontinued bodog.com without warning to Bodog players. Bodog has failed to comply with U.S. rulings concerning patent infringement – a judgment of $48.6 million dollars to 1st Technology. Once Bodog failed to pay the damages, 1st Technology took the case to an enforcement court that awarded 1st Technology the company’s online casinos domain names as a way to recoup damages.

Only when 1st Technology was awarded the domain names did lawyers and representatives from Bodog begin to take notice – but even the discussions have not yet been satisfactorily concluded because 1st Technology chose to close down the Bodog.com site just last week. Unfortunately for 1st Technology though, a Bodog online casino Web site reappeared the next day under a new domain name: Newbodog.com.

Despite the fact that Bodog has another online casino gambling site up and running so soon, the decision to shut down the main Bodog Web site has prompted further discussions between 1st Technology and the Bodog Entertainment Group. Bodog has not yet publically commented on why the company chose not to appear for the two court dates, but a lawyer for the group did comment on the alleged patent infringement. Basically, a Bodog lawyer noted that proper and legal service would be an essential ingredient in proving the $48.6 million default judgment. In general, Bodog is seems to take every opportunity possible to thumb its hypothetical nose at the U.S. government and attempt by the U.S. to enforce legal action against offshore online casino gambling companies.
