Calvin Ayre Stepping Down From Bodog to Focus on Charitable Affairs.

April 21, 2008

Download Bodog today!Calvin Ayre, the controversial billionaire founder of Bodog, is stepping down from the empire he created to focus on his charitable efforts involving the Calvin Ayre Foundation.

Ayre started and built Bodog from just a small online sportsbook and turned it into one of the most recognized online gambling brands in the world. He has seen his company grow in ways he never could’ve imagined, and his marketing campaigns have only been rivaled by those at PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker.

The face of Bodog has already relinquished control of his company to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, which houses its operations in Canada. And though Calvin Ayre will no longer be involved operationally, he still made sure he had put into place a very competent and level-headed team of people to handle Bodog’s future in Europe, Africa, and eventually Latin America.

In an official statement, Ayre said that “while it has been great fun to live my life in front of the world’s cameras and online though my blog, I am looking forward to a more private and meaningful period of giving back and working to support the Calvin Ayre Foundation.”

We wish you the very best Calvin…
