![Software]()
Bodog casino is powered by a combination of its own proprietary software and that of Real Time Gaming, Rival, and Betsoft Gaming. The state-of-the-art software is continually updated to take advantage of the latest technology. While there is no indication of eCOGRA certification, the games have been independently tested for fairness by Technical Systems Testing and Gaming Associates.
You can no longer download the Bodog casino app on your computer, but you can select the no download version for Canadians. You can also access the games on your smartphone or tablet app.
The software is very reliable and it nicely incorporates a surprising amount of games, some of which have 3D graphics and high-end details.
Canadian online gamblers who also enjoy poker, sports betting, and horseracing will especially like the added convenience of the Bodog single wallet system. You can go back and forth between the different parts of the site as often as you wish, drawing on money from the same account.
![Banking]()
Bodog accepts Visa and MasterCard, debit cards, and wire transfers. It is also one of the few Canada online gambling sites that accept Bitcoin. Banking is a simple enterprise. Deposits are available immediately and withdrawals take around seven business days. Withdrawals may be made through credit card, e-transfer, courier check, or direct bank transfer.
Banking is an area where Bodog Casino definitely needs improvement. The methods for both deposit and withdrawal are extremely limited compared to what is typically offered at many other online casinos. In fact, only three withdrawal methods can be used: Direct Bank Transfer (1-3 days), Visa (about 5 days), and Check by Courier (about 10 days). Hopefully, the casino will work on this problem and resolve it soon so that players can have more convenient and faster access to their money.
Since the online casino was created by a Canadian citizen and aimed at players from the country, the main currency is Canadian Dollars.
![Mobile]()
If you're into mobile gambling - not to worry - Bodog Mobile Casino is here! The casino is now fully optimized to operate on your smartphone and tablet. Both Apple and Android users can relax in their armchairs or on the go and take advantage of all the special offers and promotions that a PC user can. If you're using one of the older devices, like an older version of the Windows Phone or BlackBerry, you may be out of luck when it comes to the downloadable apps but you can still enjoy the full range of mobile online gambling provided by the casino directly in the browser.
Players can very easily play the versions HTML5 from a smartphone regardless of its operating system as long as it has a compatible browser. Google Chrome is recommended since it will make for faster loading times and a smoother experience overall. Apps that can be installed on a mobile device generally have games which fit better with the screen size and controls so it is always best to have both options available.
All in all, Bodog Mobile Casino has a decent amount of games and most of them are modern slots which keep their graphics very well when switching between platforms.
![Sports Betting]()
The Bodog sportsbook offers betting on all major sports, including soccer leagues and tournaments around the world, football from various leagues, and basketball from around the world. Every major league in the world is represented. If you're an avid online sports bettor located in Canada, you'll be able to access Bodog from anywhere you may be via your mobile device or tablet.
Other sports that may be bet on include ice hockey, boxing, tennis, MMA, baseball, Australian Rules football, rugby, and more. Along with sports, bettors are able to wager on the latest events in e-gaming, entertainment, and politics. There are thousands of games offered every day. A full list of futures is also provided.
All standard wagers, such as moneyline, point spread, over/under, and three-way bets, are available. Plus, most games include a wide range of props, with some individual games offering 60 or more such betting opportunities. Proposition bets include first team to score, manner of scoring, various types of points and players totals, and more. Plus, you can easily adjust spreads on games.
Bodog Sports gives those who enjoy live betting a lot of action. Soccer, football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and other sports may be wagered on in this mode. The live action is ongoing. Make standard wagers, prop bets, and participate in live betting all on the same game.
What you won't find at Bodog Casino is anywhere near the 500+ games that some online casinos offer. What you will find is a nice variety of around 250 top games that will appeal to slot players and table game players alike. This keeps the focus on the spinning reels so more than 200 of the titles are in the slots category, covering classic, video slots, the Real Series, five reels, and 3D slots as subgroups. Some of the progressive games are a lottery, and can go up to a huge amount and even exceed one million dollars with a touch of luck. The best way to browse the full list of slots is to check out titles for free. After clicking on the 'Play Now' button on the game, the casino will ask if you want to play for real or practice. The latter is done with demo credits and is a great way to see the games in action. Additional information is provided for every slot machine by clicking on 'Learn More'.
To make sure that gaming options are not limited, Bodog Casino has table games, video poker and specialty games as well. All of the bets can be made in Canadian Dollars without any problems.
Whatever game you decide on, you're unlikely to go wrong because the casino reports an exceptionally high average payout for all games combined of over 96%. It would be nice, though, if the website would include some independent verification of these statistics.
![Table Games]()
If you prefer table games, you won't be disappointed with Bodog Casino Canada either, since not only are all the traditional games available, but different variations of those games as well. For example, you can choose from many varieties of blackjack, including single and double deck blackjack, European blackjack, and Zappit Blackjack. You can also play Perfect Pairs and Pontoon.
If roulette is your game, you can choose between American Roulette and the more favourable to the player European Roulette, as seen in the online gambling review. Or you can play baccarat, craps, or tri-card poker, as well as various other table and specialty games. If this is your first time playing a game or if you need to brush up on rules and playing strategies, the casino provides a game guide that you might find helpful.
The Bodog Poker room, which must be downloaded and installed, includes a solid assortment of games. Poker games offered include Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Stud. You'll find sit-n-go, cash, multi-table tournaments, head-up tables, and short-handed tables. Limit, no limit, and pot limit games are all on-hand.
Cash games include a bad beat award, which, at its maximum, is worth $1,000. There's also a royal flush bonus worth up to $200. The site offers a $100K Guaranteed Tournament, $5K Poker Points freeroll, and $100K New Player Qualifier tournaments.
If you want to eliminate the time between hands, play Zone Poker where your competitors rapidly change. Mobile and tablet play is supported. The poker room features anonymous tables which also work for mobile online gambling.
Most Canadian online casinos offer just one Welcome Bonus for everyone, but if you don't like to play the Bodog Casino slots then you may struggle as that is what the bonus is focused on. Or, they will offer some concession to table players by offering a different bonus (typically smaller with heavier playthrough requirements) just for them. Bodog Casino, however, lets you take both bonuses so you can mix up your play. In both instances, rather than the bonus being tied to making a deposit, you put up your share of the money by buying casino chips.
![VIP and Extras]()
At Bodog online casino, the more you play, the more you receive back in loyalty rewards. From day 1, all of your slot play earns you 2 points for every bet of 10 Canadian Dollars and all of your play on almost anything else earns you 1 point for every $10 bet. (Single and double deck blackjack require a $25 bet to earn 1 point.) Every 500 points is worth $5 that the casino will give back to you. Every other Friday, your points, if you have enough of them, get converted into credits to your account; otherwise the points are carried over.
The 94 Club is for VIP players from Canada who qualify. They receive personalized service, double comp points, extra bonuses, exclusive offers, and invitations to special events. This applies when betting from mobile devices too.
You don't have to be a high roller to have Bodog roll out the red carpet for you. In fact, besides all of the special seasonal promotions being offered, there is a little extra something happening every day of the week.
For starters, you can always refer a friend and get a bonus of 200% of the first deposit they make, up to $100. Also, every Tuesday the action switches to the table games where players who bet on blackjack, roulette, and other games in the category can receive $10 for free.
The Hit and Draw promotion is popular among players from Canada and it is available on the blackjack tables, where users can get entries to the random draw for $210 in casino bonuses.
![Customer Support]()
Customer support is solid, and the lines are open 24/7. One of the drawbacks with the service however is the lack of a live chat option in the online gambling review. Players can choose to send an email by filling out the contact for or give the support team a call on the listed number. Granted, having a phone option can be better than live chat but most users nowadays prefer having all three options available.
Before even having to get in touch, Bodog Casino provides a lot of useful information on its Help page. This is where the common questions are answered in detail and the guides can be great at solving minor problems.
With reliable gaming software, from multiple developers, and all independently verified for fairness, Bodog not only offers Canadians an enjoyable online casino experience, it crucially offers a legitimate and safe one too.
There aren't quite as many deposit methods available to Canadians, and no eWallet ones as yet, but it's still possible to transfer money in Canadian Dollars using card payments, so this doesn't really present a problem.
The loyalty scheme that all new members are automatically enlisted into upon registering a new account, automatically rewards you with points that can redeemed in real cash bets on the site, which is a brilliant perk just for playing. While cashing out isn't as quick as elsewhere online, payments are still processed relatively quickly, and at least with Bodog's 24/7 customer support Canadian players can be confident that any issues will be raised and resolved in record time.
