Bodog Casino Details

Software / graphics (9)

The software, as mentioned, has either a download application or an instant play application. When you enter the Bodog Casino, you are hit with a very simple and functional interface. At the bottom are all the categories of games, from which you can select the game you want. Then the game has to download. The graphics are fine. And players controls allow you to adjust the sound and speed of the games along a scale, so you can have many different levels to choose from. Dealer voices are available too. It's your choice. Rules for most games are available through a tab on the left-hand side of the interface, once you get into the game. To get back to the main "lobby," simply click "Back."

Game variety (10)

A decent variety of games, which is compiled of all the "standards," plus a healthy array of slot games. But the list can not be considered incredibly extensive by any measure. In particular, we recognize that some players like to see different variations on their favorite games like blackjack or even video poker, and it can not be said that this is the kind of variety that is available.

Sign-up bonus (9)

For simplicity, it might grade high. After all, it is very straightforward, in that the player can get a flat 10% on the initial deposit. But the reward is not very high, and it doesn't sound like there was a lot of creative thinking that went into it. All in all, somewhat disappointing from a company that has a reputation for being very innovative in its marketing.

Promotions (9)

There is not a tournament schedule, as far as we can find, but there is a straight 10% cash bonus for the initial signup, plus a "Refer-a-Friend" program that pays you if you refer people to the casino. Poker players are probably in much better shape as far as the promotional menu is concerned, which is not a bad thing since the customer can sign up for one account and play it across all of the platforms - casino, poker, sportsbook, racebook.

Wagering requirements (9)

The bonuses that are obtained from check depositors require a play-through of 10 times the bonus plus deposit, while bonuses that come as a result of other deposit methods require a 15 times play-through. This is not only reasonable, it is extremely favorable when compared to its competitors.

Progressives (9)

There are a number of progressive jackpots available, in Caribbean Stud, Let "em Ride, and slot games like Mid-Life Crisis, I.R.I.S. 3000 and Crazy Dragon. The progressive jackpot are adequate, though not all that staggering.

Banking options (9)

Bodog allows United States players to deposit funds through eWalletXpress and credit card. Non-U.S. players can use credit cards, Click2Pay, NETeller, MoneyBookers, PaySafeCard and SpeedCard, along with eWalletXpress. Players can get paid through a check in the mail or by courier, credit card (if that is the way the deposit was made), NETeller, MoneyBookers or through the Speedcard account. You have to dig a little to find these banking options.

Customer support (9)

Customer service is available 24 hours a day. Customers can e-mail Bodog at any time to address a problem, and there is also a toll-free telephone number that is accessible for players 'round the clock (1-888-263-0000). We did not detect a live chat apparatus for players to speak to customer service representatives.

Payout percentage (10)

We couldn't find exact payout percentages, but Bodog uses Technical Systems Testing (TST), a highly-respected firm in this capacity, and according to the "Certification" page on the website, "The RNG (random number generator) generated results which were uniformly distributed and statistically independent."
