Bodog

Bodog is a sportsbook that aims to keep betting fun. The company sees itself as a premier provider of a top-shelf gaming entertainment experience.Bodog knows that this can not be accomplished if gamblers are struggling through the betting process, so the emphasis is put on simplicity and ease of use.

 Established in 1995, Bodog was the first sportsbook to offer the Instant eCheck method, and has since continued on to be one of the most innovate and fastest growing sportsbooks the industry has seen. A player doesn’t have to look very far before coming across one of the many sportsbooks that have cloned Bodog’s written policies, web pages and advertising campaign, hoping to bottle some of Bodog’s magic.

Although Bodog’s growth is largely attributed to their talented in-house marketing team, every successful bookmaker will agree that bringing the players in is only half of the battle. In a time when most sportsbooks were nickel-and-diming players, Bodog was creating ways to make bonuses automatic and absent of fine print, while offering payouts free of charge.

Almost everything on the Bodog website is set in the model of simplicity, making the CS clerk’s job easy as well. Each account action made online results in an automated email sent to the client. When calling Bodog, the player feels as if his call is in the united states as no accents can be heard through a state of the art telecommunications system. Few sportsbooks can compete with Bodog Sportsbook when it comes to offering a fun and hassle-free experience to the small to moderate sized gambler.
