The prominent online and land-based gambling news website at CalvinAyre.com has reportedly shut down following almost twelve years in business as its billionaire owner continues shifting his focus to the nascent cryptocurrency and Bitcoin marketplaces.
According to multiple sources, the site was launched by Calvin Ayre of Bodog Entertainment fame in 2009 as a way for the Canadian entrepreneur to publish pieces that were a little less deferential to some of the industry’s biggest corporate players. The Saskatchewan-born pioneer also felt that his service could serve as a more authentic source for readers eager to receive news on the latest trends and opportunities being offered by the ever-growing iGaming sector.

CalvinAyre.com will remain live but publish no further news for the global gambling sector.
Yesterday, website founder Calvin Ayre published a statement confirming that his self-titled website would no longer be operational.
Ayre, the founder of Bodog Entertainment, launched CalvinAyre.com in 2009 having relinquished all active roles within the online gambling sector.
“I launched CalvinAyre.com due to my dissatisfaction with the news sites that then dominated discussion of the gaming sector,” Ayre’s statement read.
“I found their coverage too deferential to the established giants of the day and too oblivious of the changes I saw looming on the horizon.”
