The only countries affected are: the Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, the Hungary, Israel, the Kazakhstan, the Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, the Romania, the Russia, the Serbia, the Slovenia, the Ukraine and the Uzbekistan. We prefer to concentrate on our strengths in order to offer the best quality of service possible.
The Bodog brand is recognized for its sense of customer service; Moreover, stay on as many small markets began to become difficult logistically speaking. Bodog.co.UK has decided to focus on existing growth markets.
In short, as you will have noticed, Bodog abandoned the Eastern Europe (market which seems to be the less lucrative for them).

We must also remember that Bodog is withdrawn from the Spanish market at least last March, just before the legislation of the poker online in Spain.
In this regard, Bodog turns to the East market. A few months ago, in June, the Bodog Poker network was sold to Bodog88 that represents Bodog in Asia.
