Warning: Bodog recently went through a series of downgrades on our Sportsbook Rating Guide. They are having major payment processing problems and are under heavy scrutiny of the US DOJ. We are pulling for Bodog and hope they’ll be able to work though these issues, but at this time we suggest avoiding them.

Bodog is almost a house hold name these days thanks in part to their televised poker tournaments and mixed martial arts events. While Bodog and its founder Calvin Ayre are popular for many different reasons their core product remains their online sportsbook. This sportsbook has been in business since 1995 and has processed billions of dollars in wagers.

In terms of spread and total bets Bodog offers the same product that most American front books offer. The distinct advantages and reasons to have a Bodog account; as far as games and lines offered is concerned are as follows: Bodog has great dog lines. If you bet a lot of underdogs you’ll often find the best value at Bodog. Another reason to have a Bodog account is to bet into all the exotic prop bets they offer. Bodog puts some bets on the board that are HUGE +EV in their entertainment and future props section.

Also somewhat unique is the fact Bodog only charges -110 on 3 team 10 point football teasers and 13 point 4 team teasers. Many other books, including reduced juice books offer these as high as -120 and -130.

Important Warnings: Bodog only offers Americans withdrawals via check. This method is very reliable but it takes around a month for the Fed Ex guy to show up with the check. These checks are drawn from a major US bank and once in hand they cash rather quick.

Note: The official Bodog URL is now bodoglife.com

Bodog Geographical Restrictions: Canadians are not allowed to wager on the Bodog website.

Bodog Bonuses and Promotions

Sign up bonus: Bodog offers a 10% instant bonus on clients first deposit. The best part about this bonus is that it only needs to be rolled over one time prior to cash out.

Promotions and Incentives: Bodog offers a free March Madness Bracket Buster Challenge each year and has other promotions focused around fantasy sports and poker.

Reduced Juice: Bodog does not offer reduced juice but will often shade the line in the direction of the favorites. This leads to some real great underdog lines. Several times per week there are games where Bodog’s line on the underdog is the best available when shopping all online sportsbooks.
