are there any problems withdrawing money from bodog? or is it a pretty legit operation

thanks!

It is legit. You can withdraw once by check each month with no fee - and they send it via Fedex very quickly.

I withdrew via WU last week and had a name in 90 minutes for pickup, fees are steep though.

I don't like to mess around with lots of different online casinos, mainly because most of them look like they're run out of some guy's basement under a godaddy domain name. However, I've used Bodog for about 7 years now, and wouldn't use anyone else. That's not to say there aren't other good sites, but as far as the whole poker/casino/sportsbook combo, I think they're the most legit, well-put-together operation (at least for U.S. players). Good game choice, excellent sportsbook, and SUPER fast couriered check payouts.

Now if only they'd add Chinese Poker!

This is great to hear- thanks so much for the feedback- I will send it straight to the decision makers on my side!

ooh! and Pai Gow Tiles! and hey, I think you should look into adding a bonus bet to your Pai Gow Poker. I know Fortune Pai Gow and Emperor's Challenge are both proprietary games in brick-and-mortar casinos, but would there be any way for Bodog to add a bonus bet to their Pai Gow poker game?

I put 100 in bodog and won 1200 on 3 card poker.no lie hit a straight flush with25 on bonus bet

OP; bodog is legit...everytime i ask for a check i get one a few days later

What are the fees for a WU withdraw?

bodog is very legit. ... never had a problem with their cashouts

I would never say that, and have never heard anyone say that, about bodog's sportsbook ever. The lines are up very late and they lack variety.....

They also limit you very quick and have 20 cent lines.... no thank you... not a good sportsbook at all.

Will they pay? yes.

Is there poker room very fishy? yes.

but good sportsbook? no way.

Try betting live lines. See if you get paid then. (You won't.)

Isn't that right, Becky?

played their casino bj several years ago along w/ several others. theirs seemed rigged.

Did you get screwed?

i've never been screwed by bodog. i can't say anything about their poker because i don't play with them. i just use their casino from time to time and bet sports with them. my last payout came via fedex within 3 days of my request, no problems. $40 is a bit steep for a withdraw fee, but if i'm up kinda big, i'll just have a buddy change my password for me until the 1st of the next month so i can get my free payout and not be a degenerate and lose it all (which i assume is what bodog wants to accomplish by limiting you to one free payout per month). just ran $40 to $446 in a couple hours of craps, bj, and roulette. doesnt seem fishy to me!

Ask about bodog's rep in the sports Betting forum.

Aside from all of the other garbage with their sportsbook, they deal dual lines. You can ask the Bodog rep 10 stupid questions about payouts, what casino games they offer, etc and she'll reply promptly but when you ask if they deal dual lines, you'll be met with complete silence. Dealing dual lines is illegal in Nevada and presumably many other licensed jurisdictions, but Bodog does it with impunity.

For the non-sports bettors, dual lines means they change the line on you after you log in unless you're a complete square. Say the Lakers are on the road against a bad team and the line is Lakers -6 everywhere. Bodog will show a line of Lakers -6.5 bad team +6.5 on their public line feed and when you aren't logged in (or if you delete the cookie that remembers your preferences.) Anyone with a minimal clue that's isn't new to Bodog, after they log in, will see the line change to Lakers -6 bad team +6. New Bodog users will be given that -6.5/+6.5, but if you bet bad team +6.5 a couple times they will switch you to the dual line set, so the only people who get the -6.5/+6.5 are the squares who just want to bet the Lakers at any price and don't mind playing -6.5 when just about every other book in the world would give them -6.

They also pull some other shady crap, one other example is that they are lazy about adjusting their prop lines. They put most reasonably skilled bettors on a delay of over a minute and change the line a substantial portion of the time when you try to bet a prop. Essentially they use their customers to set their lines for them without actually letting the customer bet. It's the equivalent of showing up at a Vegas casino, asking for a line, being told the line is 100 to win 120, saying "I'll take $300 to win $360" and the clerk saying "I'm sorry sir, the line is now 300 to win 300, would you like those odds?" Then you try to make 3 more bets and the same thing happens. It's possible that could happen once in a while due to coincidence (where someone bet the same side as you in the short period of time between the clerk reading you the line and you saying which side you wanted) but when it happens 4 times in a row it's obviously not a coincidence.

As I said, these policies are completely illegal in Nevada. I'm sure Vegas sportsbooks get away with this crap every once in a while but not as consistently as Bodog, who do it all the time. Think of it this way--if Bodog's sportsbook was on the up and up, why do they refuse to acknowledge that they deal dual lines and put many people on long prop delays?

I don't know anything about their casino but I considering all of the shady crap they do in their sportsbook, I wouldn't touch their poker site or their casino site with a 10 foot pole.

A game that has been proven mathematically to not be beatable and you can't beat it... seems like whatever is supposed to be happening is happening

They are legit.

Deposited $50 on poker, ran up to $116.

Lost it all on Craps.

played their casino bj several years ago along w/ several others. theirs seemed rigged.
Amen. I have never run so bad at blackjack. IT is a house game but the edges are very small and in theory you should be able to get a cheap gamble but I dropped 100+ units in under 500 hands there. So sick will never do it again

There is not beating it....and then there is getting crushed like a egg. After awhile you start adding up the likelyhood of running that bad. And alarm bells go off.

been using them for 5+ years now, never had a problem cashing out. ive had couriered checks arrive in 3 business days before.

I was down $400 bucks at pokerstars but had a deposit limit there and was tilted. I signed up and put $100 on bodog blackjack and turned $100 to $450 in a couple minutes hitting like 2 blackjacks out of 5 hands. Then I try to withdraw and the process seems a bit harder than most sites so i decide to try to get to $500 to make it more worthwhile (lol) and lost like 5 hands straight to lose $500.

what was it you had trouble with? their withdraws are pretty self-explanatory....

Just how you had to print off that form and make an outline of your credit card then send a photocopy of that sheet in. I already have copies on bank statements and my passport on my computer that works on most poker sites so it was a hassle to do all that when I dont have a printer or photocopy/scanner. Doesn't matter though i never did get to withdraw
