Former CEO Calvin Ayre became the face of the brand and was featured in Forbes magazine’s 2006 Billionaire’s Edition. Today the book is licensed and regulated by the The Kahnawake Gaming Commission in North America and in June of 2009 it celebrated the sign up of its 3 millionth customer. 

Betting Options

Bodog’s market is mainly small to medium sized bettors so, like many books, their focus is on straight up bets for the major North American sports like football, basketball, hockey and baseball. However, you can also bet parlays, teasers and most other basic bets the majority of bettors are looking for.

There is a big variety of non mainstream sports too like tennis, golf and a host of European sports. Leading up to some of the big entertainment events like the Oscars, Bodog also offers a list of entertainment props and even offers “weird wagers” if you’re looking for something a little more unconventional. 

One common complaint used to be that Bodog’s lines were released late for more obscure sports like hockey, golf and tennis. This is an area in which the book has shown a big improvement and you’ll find odds on sports like these available early most mornings.

In addition, Bodog is one of the best one-stop betting shops available on the Net. They have a fantastic casino and one of the best poker rooms you can find, not to mention a pile of horse racing options.  

Payments

Bodog has been on the cutting edge of payment methods for years and it’s been a mandate of the book to make funding your account and receiving payment as easy as possible.

They were the first sportsbook online to use the Instant eCheck method and you’ll currently find just about any method available to fund your account and receive payment including credit cards, Neteller and wire transfers. Another nice touch is that Bodog typically takes care of the transaction fees so you won’t be juiced out before you even place a wager.

Bodog is also known for its easy to follow bonus structure and features an industry leading 1x rollover. The average sports bettor generally loves this feature and doesn’t have to scour through fine print to figure out how the bonus system works.

Reliability

You’ll be impressed with Bodog’s 24/7 customer service. The company is widely known in the industry for treating its employees at a first class level and training them thoroughly to ensure all players’ needs are met.

The book has an excellent reputation for fast payouts and ease of use, which is why millions have made it their betting shop of choice. Bodog has also never missed a payout and you can be assured your money is always safe.

Overall

Bodog has one of the best site designs of any sportsbook and its ease of navigation makes it that much more appealing. You’ll find excellent customer service, lightning payouts and you’ll find everything else you need like a top rated casino and poker room.

Simply put, it’s one of those books where you can’t go wrong.
