“Illegal online gambling through the CEZA.
Weeks ago cops raided the Makati call center of Canadian
fugitive Calvin Edward Ayre, one of America’s ten most wanted.
The operation, one of billionaire Ayre’s three huge offices in
Makati and Quezon City, allegedly offered illegal online gambling
to Filipinos and foreigners. Everything’s done via Internet, which
recognizes no national boundaries. Ayre – a notorious media corruptor –
has been fleeing U.S. feds and hiding in the Philippines for the past
12 years. He functions domestically by virtue of a franchise from the
CEZA-based Cagayan Entertainment & Leisure Corp. Santiago quoted
columnist Ramon Tulfo as exposing the CEZA connection. Years back the
CEZA also caused a stir when its jai-alai franchisee began accepting
off-fronton bets nationwide. Only state-owned Pagcor owns a gaming
franchise in the land. By what authority does the CEZA issue gaming
licenses, and is Enrile linked to it? Interior Sec. Jesse Robredo was
investigating just that when he died in a 2012 plane crash, says Justice
Sec. Leila de Lima.”
Is it true that a lot of Bodog’s live dealer girls are now transferring to
other casinos, due to lack of stability. At the same time, gamers are having
terrible difficulty with their payouts, worse than the past years. Uh oh!
looks like Calvin Ayre and associates are in deep shit, as well as their loyal
gamers.
NO, this is absolutely NOT true. There are no confirmed problems with player payouts whatsoever, and as far as we know Bodog employees are not massively fleeing to work for competitors. All we see are a very few disgruntled ex-employees (of which I suspect you being one) spreading false rumors. That’s also the reason I’ve edited your post to leave out competitor names and hashtags. If you have a problem with Bodog and/or Calvin Ayre, I suggest you fight it out with them directly and don’t spread false information though our website.
