Anyone tried Bodog? What a load of toss@@s. They apparently offer a ten percent initial bonus but insist that you bet twice your initial deposit before you can have it (although it appears in your account balance). What happens if you deposit a thou and lose it then? They won't let you access your bonus because you haven't bet twice your initial stake? They haven't a clue really. Their website is crap and their Customer Relations workers are idiots. They also have a few automated messages which get sent out and then hours later an apology follows saying that the message wasn't correct. Stick to Stan, Will and**

Was a good site back in the day before they split the operation into usa and uk.
Beware of them dealing dual lines though. If you bet more underdogs than faves, they start to skim a halfpoint on their lines on american sports.

Read the terms and conditions, states it pretty clearly.
The .com site had a cracking 10% unlimited bonus, with no WR, eg deposit £10000, get £1000 bonus. Bet once on lowest odds, jobs a good'n.
Decent little site, odds not brilliant but do have a few out of line odds on football and some yank sports. UK can only register with .co.uk now I believe, think it has a £125 sign up offer.

Had 2 bets and got restricted to 10% myself. The max bet when non restricted was only £20 and £50 to boot, so 10% of that is total pony.
Sad to hear. I got restricted just after the split and thought it might be to do with them just sifting through who they should have banned years ago. Seems like it's a site-wide policy to be just as bad as other uk bookmakers. They weren't bad as an American facing bookie :(
I think they just operate on a very low cost basis....no odds compilers, no unique markets, low stakes, take no chances, copy others and offer mid point prices that Virginbets (who lasted a few months) and other mickey mouse outfits that have no USP or heritage. No PR or marketing dept. either by the looks of em as I'd never of heard of them were I not a pro. Mebbe they are big news in Peru
Interesting story about the guy who set that up. He became a billionaire.
Surrounds himself with stunning girls in his Costa Rica mansion.
their success is purely based on marketing
They were a top five sportsbook in terms of lines , limits etc for a long time. Their live action lines were pioneering and the best of their kind for a long time. Decent limits and an owner who was prepared to take on the US govt.
They might be cack now but it's harsh to say they were successful due to marketing, they were top drawer in their day.

I do recall them before they had a UK arm and they were betting the worst odds I'd ever seen before or since - a line with a 1/2 fave and the whole book still over 200%. Wrote them off as a total waste of space.
Saw their UK arm were top price or joint top on something I wanted to back (which was an absolute miracle) earlier this year so forced myself to open an account. Think it was actually £30 I was allowed but seeing as their account facility only goes back 14 days it is impossible to check.
