Ayre's Future Plans

With his plans confirmed not only on his blog but via a company press statement, CEO and founder of the Bodog online casinos gambling group, Calvin Ayre announced that he had transferred ownership of the company to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group located in Canadian region Kahnawake. Despite widespread speculation and skepticism, it seems that this latest announcement is in fact true. Ayre has made international news within the online casinos gambling industry over the past year as a result of an ongoing patent dispute between Bodog Entertainment SA and 1st Technology. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice is interested in questioning Ayre in relation to a 2006 Act that effectively banned offshore online gambling transactions with U.S. players.

Among all of this, Ayre has apparently decided to step down as owner of the company by transferring his ownership in an effort to have more time for other pursuits. Bodog’s latest statement quoted Ayre as saying, “I am looking forward to a more private and meaningful period of giving back and working to support the Calvin Ayre Foundation.”

Ayre has put all of the emphasis of his decision to transfer ownership on a desire to work more closely with his charity. For those who heard the media reports and maintained skepticism, Ayre notes posted the news and his rationale for the change on his popular blog. “You’ve likely heard the rumblings and rumors….and for once…..it’s true…I’m packing it in! Well who am I kidding, if you’re reading this now you know that for the past few years I’ve been pretty focused on jetting around the world to exotic places and filming crazy sh** for this blog. I was really more of a brand ambassador for Bodog the past while anyway – but it was fun while it lasted.”

Ayre has been the key force in creating the Bodog brand and image over the past decade but current online casinos gamblers at the Bodog poker and gambling sites can be sure that the company will go on to offer the same great services and products in the coming years. After all, Ayre admits that his position as CEO of the company was largely ceremonial.
