Bodog Sportsbook & Casino Review Contents

Bodog Sportsbook & Casino Category Review

Bodog is a dynamic betting site with an online sportsbook, casino, racebook, and poker room that gives equal attention to all facets of its platform. The site has a simple design with a red Bodog logo that stands out against the black backdrop.

There’s a lot to like about Bodog. For example, you can place live bets in the sportsbook and play live casino games with a real dealer. The poker room offers cash games and tournaments with big jackpots, and you can use a poker bonus to extend your bankroll. Furthermore, the racebook has all the popular tracks; you can even watch select live races.

Additionally, there’s a well-rounded selection of bonuses, including crypto offers. My personal favorite is the $300 bitcoin bonus. I like it because you can use it in the sportsbook, racebook, or casino. The only thing Bodog needs is digital wallet banking methods – but there are plenty of other options, including credit cards, crypto, courier checks, wire transfers, and more.

Bodog uses a variety of software providers — which is great because it means there’s a lot of choices. All of the providers are reputable and use random number generators to ensure the outcomes of the games are fair and random and never rigged. Each of the providers offer something unique. Bodog uses these six providers:

Bodog is a safe and secure gambling site that has entertained gamblers since 1994. It has a valid gaming license from the Antigua and Barbuda Financial Services Regulatory Commission. It uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology that encrypts any data sent to Bodog’s servers. Another security measure Bodog uses is account verification, which protects customers from identity theft.

In addition to all these safeguards, Bodog requires a photo ID as part of the account verification process. It ensures legal gambling age and verifies credit card ownership and payout transactions. Bodog recommends checking with customer support if you have doubts about the validity of an email you receive.

Bodog’s sportsbook has 25+ items to bet on, including mainstream major league sports, niche sports, motorsports, horse racing, virtual sports, e-sports, entertainment, and also politics. Within those lists, there are more items like leagues, countries, and futures.

The best sports betting sites have a variety of betting types — and Bodog is no exception. It offers standard betting lines, featured betting lines, player prop bets, prop builders, and live betting odds are all available. Plus, you can wager on totals, futures, singles, parlays, round robins, moneyline, and point spread; in addition to all these features, a sportsbook Cash Out option rewards you with part of your sports wager before the final result is in. 

You can bet on these sports at Bodog:

• Available Sports

  • Basketball
  • Soccer
  • Hockey
  • Tennis
  • UFC/MMA
  • Baseball
  • Aussie Rules
  • Boxing
  • Cricket

  • Football
  • Futsol
  • Golf
  • Handball
  • Rugby
  • Snooker
  • Table Tennis
  • Volleyball

Racebook

Bodog’s racebook has an easy-to-use interface with everything you need readily accessible. The next five races, virtual racing, and popular tracks span the top of the page, and the left side rail features trending events. In addition, the bet slip and open bet tool reside on the right.

You can place several types of bets: Win/Place/Show, Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, Daily Double, and Pick 3. Plus, there are 20+ tracks to bet on, so you always have options.

Bodog has 300+ online casino games, including slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, video poker, and specialty titles. Like most online casinos, the largest concentration of games is slots. You can test any games for free in Practice Play mode, and you don’t have to have an account. In fact, if you are logged into your account, Practice Play is unavailable.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to mark your favorite games, but it does keep track of the games you play the most and the ones you last played. There’s also a search feature, so if you know the game’s name, you can easily find it. Before you play a game, you can read a brief description, review the rules and instructions, and view the pay table. This information is in the left-side rail and the game’s menu bar.

Bodog also has a live dealer casino with blackjack, roulette, and baccarat tables.

Slots at Bodog Casino

There are 200+ slots to play at Bodog. The selection is diverse and includes the following variations:

I sampled slot titles Treasures of Aztec, Dragon Hatch, and Wolf Night in practice mode.

Treasures of Aztec

Treasures of Aztec is a treasure hunt game with five-reels and nine paylines. The Aztec King is the wild symbol and replaces all other symbols creating winning combinations. My favorite part of this game is the bonus feature, which triggers when three or more gold statues appear. During the bonus round you get to choose from one of five statues that reveal cash prizes.

Wolf Night

This game is a hold and win slot with four jackpots and 25 paylines. I chose this game because it has a grand jackpot of $10,000! The mountain symbols are scatters and award free spins. The full moon symbols offer the most value and trigger the hold and win re-spin feature that can help you win the grand jackpot of 2,000x your wager.

Dragon Hatch

An enormous dragon towers over this 20-payline, five-reel slot game with wilds, scatters, free spins, and a bonus game. The wild symbol is the dragon — which triggers the bonus round, and the scatter symbol is the egg. If you land three or more eggs, the free spins feature kicks in. Even though I didn’t get to the bonus round, I did win 16 free spins! My favorite part of the game is the video clip of the enormous sleeping dragon that guards the reels.

Hot Drop Jackpots

Bodog also has Hot Drop Jackpots. These slot games are similar to progressive jackpots but have bigger payouts. There are three types of Hot Drops: hourly, daily, and super. The hourly jackpot drops hourly and averages around $1,000 per payout. The daily jackpot hits every 24 hours and has an average payout of $25,000. The super jackpot drops before it reaches its max value of $250,000. Here are three of the nine Hot Drop titles at Bodog.

Bodog Table Games

There are 20 table games at Bodog casino. The collection includes roulette, baccarat, poker, craps, and an assorted variety of other card games. It’s a decent offering in comparison to other online casinos. Here’s a sample of what you can play.

Craps

War

Teen Patti Rapid

Andar Bahar

Roll the Dice

Baccarat

Blackjack

Bodog features eight blackjack variants. The casino has a basic strategy guide of how to play the popular game of 21 which includes the rules, and must know information on splitting, doubling, and dealer soft 17. I sampled these three games in practice mode:

Perfect Pairs

Zappit Blackjack

European Blackjack

• Blackjack Games at Bodog

  • Blackjack
  • Classic Blackjack
  • Classic Single Deck Blackjack
  • Double Deck Blackjack
  • European Blackjack
  • Perfect Pairs

Roulette

There are four variations of Roulette at Bodog — American, American Classic, European, and European Classic. The primary difference between American and European roulette is the numbers. For instance, there are 38 spaces on the American roulette wheel; 1-36, 0, 00, and the European wheel has 37 numbers; 1-36, 0. The additional 00 on the American wheel equates to a higher house edge.

Bodog Casino Live Dealer Games

Visionary iGaming is the software provider for the live dealer casino at Bodog. Live dealer games offer an immersive experience where players can interact with each other and the dealer. The games stream live 24/7 and feature a real person that runs the game. Bodog’s live dealer games include blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. I was happy to see the wide range of betting limits at Bodog. For instance, blackjack bets range from $5 up to $10,000. So, no matter the size of your bankroll, you can play any of these casino classics as long as a seat is open.

Specialty Games

Bodog has a sizeable specialty game selection. It has 12+ titles, including Keno, bingo, scratch cards, and arcade games. Here’s a list of everything available in the specialty category at Bodog:

• Specialty Games at Bodog

  • Amazonia Bingo
  • Bingo Catarates

If you enjoy variety when playing poker, Bodog has multiple options. They have an extensive poker room with cash games and several opportunities for tournament play, including the following:

The poker room also has these poker series for members:

To participate in Bodog’s poker room, you can download the free poker software to your desktop or access it via your smartphone without downloading anything. One of my favorite things about Bodog’s poker room is the comprehensive guides on how to play. Even if you are a seasoned poker player, it’s worth reviewing the information provided. Bodog does an excellent job of breaking down everything from online poker etiquette to instructions and rules of play for the multiple games and tournaments it offers.

Live Poker

Bodog’s live poker offers consist of 24/7 cash games. Buy-ins range from $2-$2,000, and there are free play tables for members to practice. Unlike the scheduled tournaments, you can join or leave a game anytime, blinds are fixed amounts, and the game continues as long as someone plays. You can play limit, no-limit, and pot-limit for these games:

Casino Poker

Bodog’s casino poker games reside in the table games category. These are an entirely different group of poker games you can play for practice or real money, and they are not part of the poker software download. Unlike the tournaments or live poker cash games, these games are solo play — just you against the computer. Here’s what’s available:

• List of Table Poker Games at Bodog

  • Tri-Card Poker
  • Classic Tri-Card Poker
  • Pai Gow Poker
  • Caribbean Jackpot Hold’Em
  • Caribbean Jackpot Stud Poker

Video Poker

There are nine video poker options at Bodog including 1 hand, 3 hand, and 10 hand games. Compared to other online casinos, the selection is mid-range — I have seen casinos that offer a wider selection and a smaller selection. The good news is, many mainstream favorites are available, like Jacks or Better and Joker Poker. There is a comprehensive guide on how to play the different titles, video poker basics, the differences between table and video poker, odds, payouts, and returns. These video poker titles are available at Bodog:

• Video Poker Games at Bodog

  • Bonus Deuces Wild 1 Hand
  • Double Double Bonus Poker 1 Hand
  • Jacks or Better 1 Hand
  • Jacks or Better 10 Hand
  • Jacks or Better 3 Hand
  • Joker Poker 1 Hand
  • Joker Poker 10 Hands
  • Joker Poker 100 Hands
  • Joker Poker 3 Hands

If you’re looking for a broader selection of video poker games, DuckyLuck Casino has 15 variations including Aces & Faces, Tens or Better, and Deuces Joker.

Bodog has a variety of bonuses and promotions available for new and returning customers. There are two welcome bonuses, a poker promotion, two crypto offers, and a referral bonus. In addition to these great offers, Bodog also has a loyalty program with opportunities to redeem points for cash bonuses and new bonus offers.

200% Refer a Friend Bonus

Spread the word, tell your friends about Bodog, and reap the rewards. With the Refer a Friend Bonus, you receive 200% of your friend’s first deposit of up to $100. If they deposit with cryptocurrency, you receive an additional $25.

Bodog Rewards

The Bodog Rewards program awards players points for wagering in the sportsbook and racebook and playing in the casino and the poker room. The tiered rewards program grants a designated number of points per bet amount. The higher your level, the more rewards you receive. I like that you can check your balance and cash in at any time without any restrictions.

There are nine banking methods available for deposits and withdrawals at Bodog. Choices include Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, Tether, Bank Transfer, Interac e-Transfer, player transfer, and Check by Courier. The only banking method that is missing is digital wallets. But overall — Bodog does an excellent job of providing a variety of options.

Deposits

All deposit methods are free and in your account within 15 minutes. Minimum deposit amounts range from $5-$60, which is great for casual gamblers with a small bankroll. But if you want to make deposits over $5,000, that’s not an option at Bodog.

Payouts

I was impressed with the payout options at Bodog for several reasons. For starters, most withdrawal options have zero fees and no limits on how much you can cash out. Plus, payout times are speedy. For instance, cryptocurrency withdrawals at Bodog take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, and Interac e-Transfer and Player Transfers only take 15 minutes. The only exception is Check by Courier — it has a $50 fee and can take up to 15 business days to receive. However, $50 is a nominal fee considering there’s no limit on the withdrawal amount.

Bodog has a simple black and red user interface. Both the mobile and desktop version is easy to navigate and well organized. Each page has the main navigational menus at the top of the screen, the drop-down menu to the right, and the footer. The casino and sportsbook have search features, but the racebook and poker room do not. The racebook would benefit from a search feature. But the poker room offerings are smaller, and a search feature is unnecessary.

Everything on mobile is the same as the desktop version. For instance, when I used Bodog on my Android smartphone, the sportsbook, casino, and racebook all had the same live betting features, gameplay, and racing options as the desktop. Plus, all the bonuses, promotions, and banking methods were the same; the only difference was the screen size.

Bodog has a comprehensive help center and instructional how-to videos. If you still can’t find the answers you need, select no at the bottom of the help center topic, and three customer support options appear that you can choose from — email, chat, and a forum where you can ask questions and share feedback. I was disappointed there wasn’t a phone option, but you should be able to get the help you need with the other support choices.

Email

Bodog’s email support is a contact form with a drop-down list of topics and a space to type out your message. I used the feature to enquire about a rollover requirement on a casino bonus and had a reply within 72 hours.

Live Chat

If you need help and have already searched the help center, live chat is the fastest way to get a response. I had a question about limits on crypto payouts and had an answer within minutes. The reply was thorough, and the agent was friendly and knowledgeable.

VISIT SITE

Bodog is a gambling platform with a bit of everything. It offers a sportsbook, casino, poker room, and a racebook. I like the variety of banking methods and the fast, no-fee crypto payout options. The only thing lacking is a digital wallet, but that’s not a deal breaker. The bonus with the best value is the $300 crypto offer. You can use it in the sportsbook, racebook, or casino, and the rollover requirements are attainable. One of the many things Bodog does well is it provides comprehensive game guides that are quite detailed. My favorite Bodog feature is the poker room — I love that you can play cash games like Texas Hold’Em and Omaha 24/7. Overall, Bodog is an excellent choice for any gambler.
