US-facing offshore sportsbook and casino group. Michigan, Louisiana and Tennessee name Harp Media B.V. (Curaçao, no. 144943) as the operator of Bovada, and the Massachusetts Attorney General wrote to Harp Media B.V. and Hove Media, "collectively known as Bovada". Bovada was launched in December 2011 by Kahnawake-based Morris Mohawk Gaming Group, which had run the US business under the Bodog brand since 2006 (Bodog press release, 2011). A 2023 Kentucky class action named Morris Mohawk Gaming Group together with Harp Media B.V. as defendants. No public record shows who owns Harp Media today. In 2016 Bovada sold its poker business to Lynton Limited, the then owner of Ignition (GGB), so Bovada is kept apart from the Ignition / Café Casino / Slots.lv network. Not licensed in any US state.
