Bovada is the new re-branding of Bodog for North America, which was established in 1994 and has become a dominant brand in online sports betting, poker and casino games. In business for over 15 years this is one of the most well respected and reliable online gaming giants in the business. Although it is a new name, it is the same management and owners as it has been.

Bovada offers good deposit options, and also being an online sportsbook credit cards work well here even for USA players. Cash Transfers like WU and MG are also available, and once you make a deposit by another method eChecks become available.
Customer Service here is outstanding. During our review we used the Live Chat feature and called the 1.800 number. All questions were answered accurately and operators speak very good English.
If you like more than online poker, Bovada is a one stop destination for all your online gaming needs. You can transfer funds between your poker account, sportsbook account and casino account freely.
