Bodog Hits Asia

October 9, 2012

Bodog, or rather its UK derivative, BodogUK has just announced that it is ready to enter the Asian online gambling market. Bodog is one of the largest, most well established online casino operators in the world, and has recently made inroads in to getting back in to the USA. So the fact that Bodog is also entering Asia means it is expanding incredibly quickly.

Bodog originally started out as a sportsbook site, and still retains a huge chunk of the sportsbook market, and will expand its sportsbook services in to Asia. Bodog will also be launching its online poker service, as well as a range of live dealer games in Asia.

Managing Director of Bodog Asia, Robert Gustafsson, has stated that, “(in Asia) you have more than just a niche market but one that has been ignored by other operators despite being far and away the largest consumer group of casino games on the planet.”

We cannot argue with this statement, there is no doubt that there is billions of dollars of online gambling revenue ripe for the picking in the Asian online gambling market. However, farming this cash will come at an increased cost in the form of higher transaction charges, and the probability that financial transactions will be harder to process in Asia.

However, consider the Asian propensity to take online gaming to extremes. We have all read reports of World of Warcraft players dropping dead in an internet café after a 72 hour gaming session. Or one friend murdering another over what happened in an online game. So we think that a good online gambling site, such as Bodog online casino, could really cash in on the crazy Asian addiction to online gaming. We will definitely revisit this topic in a few weeks once Bodog has launched its online casino in Asia, and see how things are panning out, we are sure it will be interesting news.
