Online Casinos Cutting Job?
Recent reports about the Bodog gambling group indicate that the company could be
on the brink of folding thanks to some events in the United States. Apparently
Bodog is cutting jobs at the company’s Canada operations and has additionally
lost millions of dollars thanks to investigations and actions by the US
government. The Bush Administration has come down hard on the online casinos and
related companies that continued to offer gambling services to US gamblers
despite the passage and implementation of the UIGEA. The reports are all over
the international online casino gambling industry media that the company could
be in the final months of operation as the US government closes in on the
company’s financial channels.
Bodog has gained a reputation because of the founder and former CEO, Calvin Ayre.
Ayre left the online casino poker gambling company just last year and has moved
on to new philanthropic endeavors – but in the wake of his departure Bodog is
entertaining some very serious allegations and reports from the mainstream
media. The current CEO of Bodog, Alwyn Morris, has painted a very rosy picture
of the state of affairs at the Bodog online casino gambling group, but the
reports of job losses and continued US investigation persist.
Analysts within the online casino gambling industry assert that this could be
the slow crumble of the company as the US investigation continues. Reportedly,
the US government confiscated more than $24 million from the company’s US bank
accounts. Other reports indicate that the company has laid off as many as 200
employees. |
