The move into the Asian market comes 18 months after Bodog announced a licensing agreement for their brand in North America with Morris Mohawk Gaming Group. Based on the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Morris Mohawk is headed by noted First Nations leader Alwyn Morris, who is revered for winning two medals in kayaking in the 1984 Olympics and raising the symbolic eagle feather to honor his ancestors during the medal ceremony. For his Olympic accomplishments and his work with youth in the Health and Welfare Canada Native Drug Abuse Programme, Morris was made a member of the Order of Canada, the country's highest civilian honor in 1985.
Point-Spreads.com believes the structure of the deal is similar to the licensing arrangement that Bodog currently enjoys with MMGG, which offers online gaming services to users in North America under a exclusive licensing agreement with Bodog which is based in Antigua.
