Bodog is one of the biggest names in online gambling, and it offers a wide range of services, including a sportsbook and casino. For legal purposes, Bodog recently underwent a rebranding where the US-facing aspect of the business became Bovada (Bodog + Nevada = Bovada!) The services are still essentially the same, and Bodog and Bovada mirror each other.
While Bodog is the long standing brand that’s well known throughout the world, Bovada is new and developed specifically for residents of the United States. However, they are both owned and operated by the same management group so you can expect the same high level of integrity, trust, and security, not to mention fun!
Bovada/Bodog are RTG-powered casinos that mix in some other software to create a unique experience. They boast a huge game library and have earned a reputation for fast, reliable withdrawals.
Software
Bodog/Bovada Casino uses the Real Time Gaming (RTG) software, but also mixes in some proprietary software and additional third-party software. The primary way to access Bodog Casino is via the software client. The client is downloaded and installed and only supports the Windows operating system. Bodog Casino also has an instant play library of games that are accessed via a web browser, but this selection is relatively small compared to the greater library.
