Newbodog.com representatives insist that Mel Molnick is the man behind the legal action since Molnick has admitted to going after a number of other online gambling enterprises including Dr. Stanley Ho's Internet casino and Sportingbet. 

Mel Molnick has been successful in using the American legal system to coerce other operators to pay a form of ransom to get their name back.  Earlier this month a Seattle judge handed down a judgment to the amount of circa $49 million in the case against Newbodog.com in favor of Mel Molnick. 

Newbodog.com ignored the lawsuit because they where not even based in the US and didn’t think anything would happen to them.  Rather, Molnick, who filed this suit through his 1st Technology limited-liability corporation, believes that Newbodog.com had infringed upon his 'process'. 

In the meantime, other than the change in URLs, it is business as usual," said Calvin Ayre, Newbodog.com Entertainment founder and CEO.  "We are fighting this dispute and are confident that we will win,” stated Newbodog.com Entertainment Founder.

Yet Molnick has had some success with his patent by reaching pretrial settlements with several Web casinos, according to court documents.  Newbodog.com brand joins a long list of other internet gambling related domain names that have been targets to Molnick including Ladbrokes.com, Sportingbet.com, Betsson.com, BetInternet.com and CasinoWebCam.com
