Offshore Sportsbook Bodog Hit With Manitoba Court Injunction
An overseas sportsbook has actually formally been told to knock it off by the Canadian legal system.
A judge for the Court of King's Bench of Manitoba approved an injunction on Monday versus Bodog, an online gaming operator based in Antigua and Barbuda.
The computer registry states the injunction was given and signed in court. Reasons are to follow at a later date.
Monday's injunction was effectively sought by the government-owned Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corp. (MBLL), which alleged Bodog was operating unlawfully in the province. MBLL also declared that Bodog was diverting company away from its online gambling platform, PlayNow.
PlayNow is the only authorized iGaming site in Manitoba, and its owner, MBLL, wants Bodog to stop marketing and operating within the province. On Monday, that is what the court told Bodog to do.
"This court orders and states that the Respondents have no lawful authority to provide online gaming product or services, whether through bodog.eu, bodog.net or any other associated follower or replacement websites, or to promote such online product or services to individuals located in Manitoba, as such activities contrast areas 201, 202, and 206 of the Criminal Code," Monday's order stated.
- Government-owned Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Corp. has acquired a court injunction against Antigua and Barbuda-based Bodog.
- The Crown corporation is attempting to stop Bodog from marketing and operating in the Canadian province, declaring the overseas sportsbook and gambling establishment gaming site is breaking the law and diverting company far from MBLL's PlayNow platform.
- The injunction is a possibly precedent-setting advancement for Canada, which has a huge "grey market" for online gaming.
