bodog becky where are you? 15 year customer, no complaints, always quick payouts, no hassles, but now the vig isn't good enough for them anymore, they want 4.9% on credit card deposits. Calvin's party must have set him back this year! time for a new sports book! They haven't offered a bonus in years anyway. How is wager? Guys?

Pretty soon Bodog is gonna ask for your first born son to deposit.

You are looking at a minimum of 7 dollars in fees by the time you are done with these bastards.

And on top of that they may screw up your deposit. Happened to me a couple months ago. Paid fees out the ass only to have my money temporarily stolen and tied up for OVER A MONTH.

Maybe they are looking to close down so they are getting as much as they can out of their customers. This is one book I wouldnt recommend to my enemy.

Bodog are shite, low limits and now this crap, glad I closed my account long ago. I only bet 3/4 things a year when the odds are massively in my favour, don;t even bet small on anything

From finance, written for me when the fee was introduced:

We are not pleased to be introducing a new fee and apologize for the inconvenience. This decision was made completely as a result of the challenges faced with credit card processing in the United States. It is more and more difficult to do business with companies that can successfully accept credit card transactions on our behalf and to keep the costs of this service down. We know that this is an industry wide issue and have worked hard to introduce new non-credit card deposit methods in an attempt to reduce this impact. Our strong recommendation is that you switch to one of these new deposit methods as they are a more stable and lower cost alternative to credit card.

Of course you will! If for some reason you ever have trouble receiving a payout please send me a PM so I can get the facts and look into the situation.

Thank you,

They should take away your fee for saying something nice about bodog. That's rare.

I had an account at bodog a few years back and they never not paid me ......... in fact, that was when they took the money right out of my checking account and then put it back in when I won ..

They are a good book IF YOU PLAY THE UNDERDOGS ... AND OR MIDDLES with underdogs
