The Bodog Brand is licensed by the government of Antigua. However, it cannot accept players from the US due to legal restrictions.

About The Casino

Currently, the only online brand in the Bodog Entertainment stable is the Bodog Casino. Arguably one of the most well-known online gaming portals in the world, it offers players a combination of remarkable Betsoft, Real Time Gaming and proprietary game titles. Further, this casino provides players with a poker room that hosts different kinds of tables. Casino players at Bodog can also enjoy a rich selection of video pokers, table games, slots and other exceptional specialties.

The Bodog Group has put a high priority on its customer support services through providing online casino players with a professional team of support personnel and a cashier department that is on call 24/7. This system is set so to make sure everyone can easily access assistance in a timely fashion, plus ascertaining that payment processing is without any niggling delays or other hiccups. These customer support services are availed to customers via phone, live chat, as well as through email.

The Bonuses

The Bodog Entertainment group deliberately desists from putting too much weight on complex bonuses, unlike a host of other online casinos. Every new player can, naturally, claim a simple player match bonus based on their initial deposit, which comes with easy-to-understand betting terms in addition to minimal game restrictions. Moreover, players are rightly eligible to claim a table game coupon or a slots coupon several times on a weekly basis.

Not unusually, the attendant terms and conditions that come with these bonus offers are different from each other, and so players are always advised to read through and understand the terms.

Rewards Program

Bodog Group puts greater emphasis on loyalty rewards even more than seeking to regularly offer big bonuses to all its online players. Players can make wagers in virtually any type of game the casino offers, which all go to earning comp points. These accumulated comp points are then convertible into casino chips and into cash at a rate determined by the casino. Players who accumulate enough points can also qualify for the casino’s VIP program which packs a slew of additional bonuses besides other exclusive benefits.

Licensed / Fair

Licensed and registered in the Caribbean Nation of Antigua, the Bodog Entertainment Group is regulated by the Antigua and Barbuda Financial Services Regulatory Commission. Its flagship casino is certified by Gaming Associates. Additionally, regular auditing of the Random Number Generator and other associated components is done by Gambling Associates in order to ensure fair play.

The Affiliate Program

The Bodog Entertainment group has combined with Bovada and crafted a single Affiliate Program known as Betting Partners. Anyone interested in signing up with the program may register an account with the Betting Partners program to promote Bodog through their own web portals. When players register and play through the online links that are provided on an affiliate’s site, the affiliate earns cash commissions which are based on the commission schemes offered by Betting Partners.

UPDATE

In July 2017, U.S. federal prosecutors dropped the felony charges against Calvin Ayre outlined in the story below. Ayre pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge of being an accessory after the fact to the transmission of wagering information. He was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and a $500,000 US fine.

The gambling website Bodog has been shut down and four Canadians indicted, including founder Calvin Ayre, for illegal gambling that generated more than $100 million in winnings, U.S. federal prosecutors say.

The website's domain name was seized Monday and the indictments, which were returned Feb. 22, were unveiled Tuesday in Baltimore, prosecutors said.

The indictments follow federal prosecutions last year of three of the biggest websites involved in online poker. More than 75 company bank accounts in 14 countries have been frozen, and authorities are seeking $3 billion in fines and restitution, in that investigation.

In addition to the 50-year-old Ayre, who was born in Lloydminster, Sask., prosecutors say the indictment names website operators James Philip, David Ferguson and Derrick Maloney.

Gamblers in Maryland and elsewhere were sent at least $100 million by wire and cheques from 2005 to 2012, the U.S. Attorney's office said, adding Bodog conducted a $42-million advertising campaign between 2005 and 2008 to attract gamblers to the Bodog.com website.

The operation allegedly moved funds from Bodog's accounts located in Switzerland, England, Malta, Canada and elsewhere to pay winnings to gamblers. The four Canadians each face up to five years in prison for conducting an illegal gambling business and 20 years for money laundering. Bodog.com faces a fine of up to $500,000 for gambling and money laundering. Initial appearances for the individuals have not been scheduled.

Marcia Murphy, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Baltimore, said the four are not in custody and no attorneys had indicated by Tuesday afternoon they are representing the four or Bodog. Spokeswoman Vickie LeDuc said later Tuesday that arrest warrants had been issued for the four.

Ayre posted a statement on his website Tuesday saying that his company did not take U.S. bets.

'Bodog UK, Bodog Europe and Bodog Asia have never taken bets from the US,' the statement said. 'The BodogBrand is currently consulting with its legal advisers with a view to having the domain returned.'

The statement also said the Bodog domain has not been in use since operations were switched from Bodog.com to Bodog.eu by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group and The BodogBrand.com revoked its licensing agreement with MMGG on Dec. 15.

In a statement on CalvinAyre.com, Ayre wrote, 'I see this as abuse of the US criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large US corporations. It is clear that the online gaming industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents it is also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion.'

An affidavit filed along with the warrant to seize the site said investigators created accounts with Maryland addresses and received checks in the mail for winnings. The affidavit also said investigators interviewed a former Bodog employee who named top officers and directors and said the company had hundreds of employees in Canada and Costa Rica handling day-to-day operations.

'Sports betting is illegal in Maryland, and federal law prohibits bookmakers from flouting that law simply because they are located outside the country,' said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. 'Many of the harms that underlie gambling prohibitions are exacerbated when the enterprises operate over the internet without regulation.'

Prosecutors say the investigation was led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations in Baltimore and also involved the Internal Revenue Service, Anne Arundel County Police and Maryland State Police. HIS agents seized the domain name on Monday.
