BodogLife.com Professional Review |
| By David Kukoff |
|
Bodog First Impression
BodogLife.com wastes no time in trying to "wow" its readers. Right off the bat, BodogLife.com users are offered extensive links and resources that provide substantial credibility to the website's operations. The "About Us" link opens a new website that is dedicated entirely to information on the company's operations, industry news, endorsements, relevant links, player testimonials and much more. BodogLife.com archives a weekly newsletter that provides updated articles on current affairs in the industry and opinion columns to boot. One feels that BodogLife.com is geared towards the gaming aficionado and to that effect, it succeeds admirably.
Bodog's Design
BodogLife.com's website layout, however, is fairly cluttered and offers a disorganized, albeit comprehensive, collection of links on every page and in most text blocks. BodogLife.com's sitemap is not entirely intuitive and one has the tendency to get lost amongst the pop up windows and redundant page openings. Fortunately, BodogLife.com features an informative "Help" section that is comprehensive and well-designed.
Bodog Sports Betting Options
BodogLife.com sports betting focuses on the four major American sports as well as international favorites such as Tennis and Golf. BodogLife.com also provides a non-sporting events section that offers wagers on events such as the Emmy Awards in the U.S. Users are also encouraged to participate in BodogLife.com's casino rooms, where table games and slots options are offered. Notably, BodogLife.com features a twice-weekly casino rebate on losses, where BodogLife.com's managers assess a gambler's performance and issue rebates to his or her account; this is not a feature one is bound to find on too many other online sportsbooks.
Managing Your Bodog Account
For managing one's account on BodogLife.com, the website promotes the use of Direct Bank Transfer as the preferred method of transaction. BodogLife.com offers several promotions to that effect. However, only U.S. Bank Accounts are entertained for many of their Withdrawal & Deposit options. Additional methods involve the traditional Credit Card and Bank Wire transactions, as well as the online payment service NETeller. Fees are nonexistent for most methods and BodogLife.com attempts to reimburse standard processing fees depending on the amount transacted.
Bodog Customer Service
Customer service at BodogLife.com can be reached via e-mail and toll-free telephone support. The toll-free number is answered immediately and the BodogLife.com support representatives were extremely polite and professional in their approach. The representative with whom we spoke was forthcoming with extensive details on BodogLife.com sports betting options and lines and was patient and detailed when asked about sports betting basics. A short conversation with a supervisor further substantiated BodogLife.com's professionalism and expertise in the arena of online gambling and sports betting.
Bodog's Bottom Line
BodogLife.com is clearly an established industry leader in the online gaming industry and its sportsbook services stand out in comparison to that of competitors. BodogLife.com's design and ease-of-use could be improved upon drastically, but the wealth of resources and data available to users is a definite attraction for serious and recreational online gamblers alike. |
