Bodog Horse Racing

Founded in 1994, Bodog.com is one of the more popular sports books / online casinos for U.S. players if only for the reason that they still accept U.S. players. But this alone does not distinguish them. Bodog is a great resource for the horse racing bettor. On a daily basis, this book has each major and minor track entry posted (over 80 different tracks from around the world), along with the current odds the horse is getting. They also offer a multitude of betting options with an easy to use wagering system. You can bet in this manner right up to post time. Different bets are separated by tabs at the top of the betting section. Simply check the box next to the horses you wish to select for your particular wager, name your bet size, and then wait for the results.

One of Bodog’s top selling points is their bonus structure. By betting on featured races, you can receive occasional rebates based on your betting activity. They always have a 10 percent signup bonus for new members, along with occasional promotions and bonuses for bettors that wish to reload their accounts. You can also receive up to a $100 bonus if you refer someone to the site and they deposit money into their account.

Opening an account with Bodog is a simple process. You can fill out the paperwork online, or call their 800 number. Bodog accepts Visa and Mastercard from U.S. players. Prior to any payouts you must fulfill their credit card verification process, though. This involves a photocopy of a government-issued identification card such as a Driver’s License, the front and back of your credit card, and a photocopy of a secondary ID card.

For those who wish to look at past races, there is a results archive available for your perusal. The data goes back about a year, and it is all available for free. Current results and payouts for each available wager type are usually posted within ten to fifteen minutes after race completion time.

For those who wish to branch out from horse racing, Bodog features a poker room, a full online casino, and a sports book. Bodog’s customer service is also one of the best in the business. They are based out of Antigua.
