How Does Bodog Work
Current American players now find that when they log into their Bodog accounts they are automatically shifted to Bovada.lv, a site that has the same exact look and feel of other Bodog properties. Anybody in the US going to the original Bodog site (bodog.eu) is now being transfered to Bovada.lv.
- Bodog also supports bitcoin cash (BCH). This is a different crypto-currency than bitcoin sv (BSV), which Bodog does not support. Depositing in BCH works the same as it does with bitcoin (BTC). You can likewise deposit any amount using this method. Bodog payouts are available in your choice of paper check, bitcoin or bitcoin cash.
- Do Bodog Account for Problem Gambling? They also use their expertise to combat problem gambling and work closely with Gamblers Anonymous, NCPG and Gambling Therapy, with information and resources readily available in the responsible gaming section of their website which is easily found at the very bottom of the page via a simple link.
- At Bodog, experience the thrill of world-class gaming at its pulse-pumping finest. Turn up the adrenaline.
Bodog has always been a safe and trustworthy place for online sports betting and we don’t see any reason why that will change with a new name. After all it is the same group operating Bovada that operates and runs Bodog. The major difference (besides the similar name) is that Bovada is only open to US players, which should not affect anything.
How Does Bodog Sports Betting Work
Background: I have used Bovada since 2004 (it was Bodog from 2003-2011 on Bodog created Bovada to handle their US customers) and I only had 1 problem in those 10 years. In March 2011 (I actually looked the date up in my email!) I had a check payout bounce. Years of work and satisfaction of customers resulted in the hike of Bodog. It is the only authentic site that has been for so long in the sports industry, which offers highly reputable and trustworthy money handling options with a wide range of gaming facilities.
Bovada = Bodog in the US
Bodog = Bodog for Europe/UK and Canada
What is Bovada?
The Bovada name is a cross between BOdog and neVADA and even uses the LV domain extension to try and give it some Las Vegas feel. When you go to the site, you will even see a picture of Las Vegas from the desert, with the Stratosphere standing out most. What’s the catch? The domain name has absolutely nothing to do with Las Vegas. The “lv” stands for Latvia. This is where Bovada Poker is based. It’s also operated by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Commission.
How will this affect sports betting?
It does not appear that Bodog’s sportsbook will be any different on their new Bovada.lv site, with sports betting, poker and casino games still available. The new site went up Decemeber 14, 2011 and has not been running long enough to fully judge if it will have an impact on online gaming, but other companies are sure to be watching closely to see if this approach will help thread the needle of federal online gaming regulation.
I live in the US, does my Bodog account still work?
If you currently bet or play poker at Bodog, you have nothing to worry about. Everything will be transferred to Bovada without you having to do anything. This includes username, password, cash balance, points balance and preferences. They want it to be a smooth transition. If you like to play more than poker, you can also access a sportsbook, casino games and horse racing from the site.
First time patrons of Bodog should make sure they collect their bonus when signing up with the sportsbook. The process is simple, beginning with signing up for an account with the service. Before claiming your bonus, you’ll need to make a deposit into your account, which will determine the amount of additional funds you receive. Their 100% sports signup bonus involves an extra deposit worth up to $250, matching the initial amount you put into your account.
Similar to most sportsbooks, the deposit is subject to rollover requirements. For Bodog, bonuses have a 5X rollover on the combined initial deposit and bonus before you’re able to withdraw the winnings. Losing bets count the entire risk towards the rollover, while winning bets contribute either the profit or the bet amount, depending on which is lesser.

Players should also note that withdrawals that occur prior to the rollover results in the loss of the bonus and any associated winnings. Referral bonuses result in up to $100 added to your Bodog account, with the same rollover requirement. When your friend clicks the referral link you send, you receive a 100% bonus on their first deposit. This promotion runs indefinitely, which means you can earn unlimited bonuses as long as you keep referring new customers.
