Bodog has had a long and successful career since it was established way back in 1994. It is licensed by the Antigua and Barbuda Regulatory Commission and is one of the top Canadian online casinos.
Bodog Casino is the place to go for Canadians wishing to bet on sports or horseraces, play against peers in a dedicated Poker room, or try the luck in a variety of casino games. The operator has opted for a highly functional site rather than a visually exciting one. Newcomers will get no less than four welcome bonuses to choose from, including a bonus on Bitcoins, which is something not found everywhere.
Software & Games at Bodog Casino
Bodog’s portfolio which counts close to 300 games might seem a bit modest. BetSoft games were sadly removed due to a series of scandals a while ago, but one can still enjoy those developed by Rival, RTG, Spinomenal, and a few lesser-known providers such as Makitone Gaming and Revolver Gaming. All games are accessible online and feature free-play options.
If slots are not your first choice, not to worry; the operator has included a range of table games, namely European and American Roulette, several Blackjack variants, Baccarat, Craps, Caribbean Stud, Hold’em, Tri Card and Pai Gow Poker. You can additionally pick among 20+ video pokers, good many Bingo games, Keno, Sudoku and Scratch Cards.
Slots
Rival being a versatile developer ensures you’ve got plenty of both simple and unique classics to choose from, diversely-theme video slots, and what they’re most known for, a good many interactive i-Slots. Not-to-miss titles include Costume Party, Cirque du Slots, Rock on!, Reel Crime series and A Switch in Time.
RTG’s range is represented by some older but still very popular slots like Aztec’s Treasure, Cleopatra Gold and Ronin (all part of Reel Series), but also newer releases such as El Luchador and Hercules the Immortal. If you’re looking for an easy and (potentially) quick way to get rich, there are plenty of progressive jackpot games available; Food Fight is nearing one million in jackpots, and Shopping Spree has already gone above $3 million.
Banking
The operator has offered three kinds of payment methods for players wishing to fund their casino accounts – credit cards, Interac e-Transfer, and Bitcoin. They all come with $20 minimum limit, and whichever one chooses, Bodog will charge no fees.
Withdrawals, on the other hand, can only be made via Bitcoin and Check by Courier, and while the first is always free, every cash-out by Check other than the initial monthly one comes with a fee of $50. Withdrawal requests will be processed in up to 48 hours, and the Casino will let you collect a minimum of $20 and up to $4,000.
Bodog Mobile Casino
The site has been fully optimised to operate on Android and iOS devices, as well as a Blackberry. Its HTML5 version allows you to play online whichever of these mobile devices you use, and gain access to same functionalities as in the desktop version. Collection of mobile games includes 100 slots, 30 or so table games and video pokers, and about 15 specialities – more than enough to keep you entertained while taking a bus ride or waiting in a queue.
Customer Support
The operator traditionally does an excellent job of building an FAQ section which is not only well organised but has also managed to answer every single question we had. Just in case you encounter an issue at some later date, we’ll tell you that direct assistance is available via Live Chat, phone and email, and customer service agents working round-the-clock to make sure your problem gets resolved as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, Bodog is active on both Facebook and Twitter so you’ve got two more communication channels to pick from.
Final Verdict
Let’s be honest: Bodog is not the most modern online casino out there. The team has clearly found a winning formula and sees no reason to start fixing something which is not broken. And with 20+ years of experience, who are we to argue?
Functionally the site performs extremely well, games portfolio is diverse and caters to different tastes, and the same goes for welcome offers letting us choose in line with our preferences. However, the number of games is a bit too small, and other than the rewards program, the vast majority of ongoing deals are linked to Poker.
Banking options are very limited. Perhaps it goes to show how important trustworthiness is in the online gaming world; Bodog’s impeccable reputation has kept them going for a long time and probably will continue to for quite a bit longer.
