Bodog Sportsbook Review
At Bodog Sportsbook you will find betting on all major sports such as: Boxing, Football, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Tennis, Horse Racing, Motorsports, Golf, Rugby, Cricket, Olympics and much more.
Bodog was established in 1994, making it one of the most well known, oldest and trusted gambling sites on the internet.
Bodog Sportsbook is a part of Bodog Entertainment, which was founded in 1994 by Calvin Ayre. Bodog Sportsbook has licenses from the United Kingdom, Antigua and Kahnawake. I like the functionality of the lobby of Bodog Sportsbook. The emphasis is on providing information and odds on the forthcoming sporting events. Since Bodog Sportsbook covers a wide range of sports and events proving information in an easily accessible manner helps the bettors.
Bodog Sportsbook is run on software provided by Digital Gaming Solutions Inc. Gambling Online Magazine has continuously awarded this software in multiple categories and that is good enough for me. Bodog Sportsbook has won the gold medal for the Best Sportsbook Software. Sportsbook software needs to be very fast because odds are changing continuously and my experience has been that the quick and easy interface of Bodog Sportsbook’s software registers the wagers well in time. I would like to point out that the software ensures quick payouts and the fact that Bodog Sportsbook has won the Quickest Sportsbook Payout award several times is evidence of this.
Bodog Sportsbook covers all sporting events. The sports are listed alphabetically in the lobby and that has helped me navigate through the site. American football, European football, American basketball and American baseball are the more popular sports at this Sportsbook. But what I like is that even the lesser-known sports such as cricket find a place. Bodog Sportsbook offers different types of bets such as single, multi-single, accumulator, cross-sport accumulator and buying points. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Sportsbook offers odds on celebrity, business and political events as well.
If the excitement of betting were not enough, Bodog Sportsbook offers some great bonuses. The sign up bonus has no upper limit. It is 10% of the initial deposit subject to a minimum deposit of $20. The bonus needs to be rolled over once before a withdrawal can be made. Bodog Sportsbook has a Refer A Friend Bonus as well. Though not strictly a promotional feature, the sports betting articles at Bodog Sportsbook is definitely an attraction. The articles provide not only the latest news but also expert views that have helped me crystallize my bets on many occasions.
Bodog Sportsbook offers a wide range of banking options. These include debit cards from Maestro, Solo, Switch and Delta and credit cards from MasterCard and Visa. The usual e-wallet options such as NETeller, Click2Pay and Moneybookers are also available. Usually the payout method has to be the same as the deposit method. Bodog Sportsbook does not charge any fees on deposits or payouts, which is great. However fees are charged by some payment providers and therefore I recommend that players check with their payment providers as well before making a deposit. Bodog Sportsbook uses both SSL encryption and firewalls for security of financial transactions and customer information and hence I advise players to forget security concerns and concentrate on the betting.
Bodog Sportbook has one of the most comprehensive Help sections I have come across. It is divided into Financial, Technical and Sportsbook and has FAQs and glossaries. With this kind of detailed information the need to contact customer support would be minimal and I think that is how it should be.
Additional information on deposit and withdrawal options is provided in the frame to the right. To learn more about the bets that can be placed scroll to the bottom of the page.
