Bodog Review

What happened to Bodog

Bodog was one of the longest-running names in offshore gambling. Founded by Calvin Ayre in the late 1990s and live as a sportsbook from 2000, it spent close to three decades serving players outside the regulated markets. In February 2026 the owner of the brand chose not to renew the Bodog name with its gaming operators. The Canadian site went into overnight maintenance and reopened as Ozoon, which the company framed as a chance to relaunch under a fresh name.

For players, the change was mostly cosmetic. Accounts and balances migrated to Ozoon, and existing customers sign in with their old Bodog credentials. Two parts of the business split off: Bodog Poker’s Latin American players moved to Ignition Poker, carrying over their funds, payment methods and bonuses, while the Bodog name lives on in the United States as Bovada. The rebrand also followed regulatory pressure in Canada. A Manitoba court had ordered Bodog to stop advertising and block players in the province because it held no local operating licence, and the new Ozoon brand withdrew from Manitoba.

If you are here to play today, go to our Ozoon review, which covers the operating company, the Tobique Gaming Commission licence, the current bonuses and banking. The review below is preserved as an archival record of Bodog as it was, and its bonus and offer details no longer apply.

The original Bodog review (archived)

Bodog is one of the most enduring brand names in the world of online casinos and even gambling in general. It has been around for over 20 years, something that is quite rare in the business, and continues to thrive because of its adherence to quality.

Targeted towards Canadian players only, Bodog is a trustworthy casino with the option to bet on sports and poker as well.

Security/Certification

The Casino is licensed by the Antigua Online Gaming Association and has built up a reputation for providing a stellar environment for the players to gamble in.

Banking methods

Unfortunately, the banking options are quite limited (refer to the table on the right) with Bodog and we highly recommend using Bitcoin for the fast processing time.

Welcome Bonus

This totals up to $600 over its two parts with the first one for slots and the second one for ‘other’ games. The first part of the welcome bonus is a 100% match bonus of up to $400 with a 25x rollover.

The second part offers a 100% match bonus of up to $200 but has a 40x rollover.

So that means that players will have to bet 400 x 25 + 200 x 40 = $18000 for them to be eligible for the full welcome bonus. The playthrough requirement of 25x is welcome because it is less than the industry standard but the total amount of bonus is definitely a little underwhelming.

Cash Back

Every bet that you make on Bodog earns you points which are converted into cash after an accumulation of 500 points by the casino. These continue to get accumulated on their own and offer a nice little bonus to help reduce some of the losses or add to your wins without doing anything extra!

Mobile Bonus

Your first bet of $100 or more on the mobile casino will earn you a $10 casino bonus which has a 20x rollover attached to it. Considering the growing popularity of the mobile casino, we found this to be an excellent bonus.

Hot Wednesday

This is an excellent offer for slot players. The casino offers 5$ for every $100 that you bet up to a maximum of $15 in one day. Unlike a lot of other casinos where you are forced to play on certain slots, this offer is available to players playing on any slot machine.

Thursday Double

All deposits made on a Thursday will get a 100% match bonus up to $250 for slots and $250 for other games. The bonus comes with a 25x playthrough requirement.

Refer A Friend

If someone you refer to Bodog makes a deposit, then you get a 200% bonus of that deposit up to a maximum of $200 which only has a 5x sportsbook, 5x racebook, or 40x casino playthrough requirement. There is no limit to the number of friends that you can refer.

There are several other bonus specific to certain games which can make playing at the casino very attractive.

Mobile Review

Bodog has ensured that all of its software is compatible with mobile browsers without any other extension or downloading involved. All players need to do is to log in to their mobile website and they are set to go.

This is one of the best mobile casino experiences that is available to players today.

Summary/Bottom Line

Bodog is among the best options available for people looking for a reputable name with a wide selection of games and sports betting options. The reputation for fairness and reliability is hard earned and well deserved by this casino. Making withdrawals can sometimes be a pain because of the time involved (unless using Bitcoin which is almost instant) in processing but they are certain to come through.
