Bodog is one of the biggest names in the online gaming industry, especially among US players who are welcome at all Bodog sites. The Bodog brand was founded by Calvin Ayre, who has been featured on the cover of Forbes’ Billionaire issue. Bodog Sports, winner of the 2009 Jackpot Finder Best US Sportsbook award, offers a complete, professional online sports betting service to players around the world, and comes backed by a strong reputation and a lot of industry experience. Plus, with $125 in free bets offered to new members, it’s hard to stay away!
Software
Bodog Sports uses an online interface that loads up in your favorite web browser. The interface is very well designed, and mixes good looks with simple functionality. It’s a lot more graphics oriented than many of its competitors which means it’s just a little bit slower to navigate, but this is not a big tradeoff for fans of Bodog’s smooth style. All bets are accessed using a simple menu system on the left of the screen, combined with drop-down menus in the main screen. The result is an un-cluttered and intuitive sportsbook that is easy to learn and use.
Event Coverage
Bodog Sports offers bets in all major sports. Categories like football (both European and American), cricket, golf, tennis, and baseball are all covered very thoroughly. Some smaller events like darts, racing and snooker also see strong coverage. Specials are also offered on occasion, giving punters a chance to bet on television events, politics, entertainment, and other non-sports categories. All in all, Bodog Sports sticks to the basics, keeping their coverage of the most popular events strong and not spreading things out too thin.
Bet Types
The range of bet types available at Bodog Sports can sometimes be limited, and many events are only covered by outright win odds. Fortunately, Bodog gives punters endless ways to combine bets into basic multipliers like doubles, trebles, and accumulators, plus special named multipliers like Trixie, Yankee, Lucky 15, and Goliath bets. Bodog Sports also offers Live Betting, giving punters more fine-tuned control over how they wager their money. In the Live Betting section, be sure to explore the special Single Click mode which makes it easy to place instant bets while the action happens live.
Bonuses and Promotions
While many online sportsbooks don’t offer much in the way of welcome bonuses, Bodog Sports is a big exception. A huge starter package is offered to all new members, giving them up to $125 in free bets just for signing up. This is a two-part bonus: first, players get a 10% match up to $100 on their first deposit, then get a free $25 bet after placing 5 single $10 bets. Beyond this introductory offer, few bonuses are available, though special promotional bets are offered from time to time giving players a lot to look forward to.
Customer Support
The customer support team at Bodog Sports is available around the clock to give members assistance on everything from sorting out banking issues to understanding betting options. Members in the US can contact the support team via a toll-free telephone number, but for the rest of the world only one number is offered, and it’s in Antigua. Email support is also provided, and Bodog tries to answer all queries within 20 minutes. Lastly, a Live Chat system provides quick and easy help at any time of the day or night.
Banking
The cashier at Bodog Sports accepts most of the major banking methods for deposits, including Maestro, Switch, Solo, and Delta Debit Cards, Visa, MasterCard, Click2Pay, MoneyBookers, PaySafeCard and NETeller. A minimum $20 deposit is required for whatever banking method you decide to use. All transactions at Bodog are encrypted and recorded, and are fully secure. Bodog never charges fees for depositing or withdrawing funds.
Conclusion
Bodog Sports is, in some respects, a very basic sports book. Their bet coverage does not extend beyond the most popular categories, and the range of bets offered on each event is much smaller than some of the other big online sportsbooks offer. Bodog is still a unique place, however, due to its excellent reputation, it’s visual appeal, and its interesting history in the world of internet gambling. It is well suited to casual sports bettors around the world, but most especially in the United States.
