　　NEW ASIAN POKER SKIN JOINS THE BODOG POKER NETWORK

　　A new online poker site that is targeting the Asian market has just joined the Bodog Poker Network. The new brand in question is TLC88, which is accepting players from various Asian countries, including China.

　　The relatively new and unknown online poker operator TLC88 has just announced that it had joined the Bodog Poker Network. TLC88 is an online poker operator that is focusing on the Asian online poker and sports betting markets.

　　The website of TLC88 is at this moment only available in Chinese language. The operator functions under a Philippines Cagayan license and claims itself to be "the leading creative online gaming website in Asia."

　　TLC88 CEO Nick Lee commented the following regarding joining the Bodog Poker Network:"Poker is in its infancy in Asia but unlike most Western focused games lends itself well to the concepts of sharing and community that are so familiar to Asian gamblers".

　　Chief executive officer of the Bodog Poker Network Jonas Odman explained that he always felt that the best place for the network is Asia. This is clearly reflected by the fact that most of the player base of the Bodog Poker Network is at this moment made of Asian players.

　　Bodog has indicated throuoght the year that its biggest focus will be on the Asian online gambling market. As a consequence, Bodog has shut down its .com website which later was even seized by the United States Department of Justice.

　　Bodog relocated all its non-American players to its Bodog.co.uk website and opened up a new brand called Bodog88 that specifically focuses on the Asian online poker and casino market. After this move, the prime focus of the company became the Asian Bodog88 brand.

　　Just about a week ago Bodog announced the complete revamping of its European bodog.co.uk brand. The move further signalized the decreased importance of Bodog's European business as the operator has decided to cease all online poker and online sports betting services on its .co.uk brand.

　　Instead the new bodog.co.uk brand will only offer online casino games to UK and European players. Bodog also indicated that the new European online casino will adopt an Asian style and imagine, among others, with actual Asian live dealers.
