Reason #4 why the Wizard likes Bovada:
One-Stop Shopping
Bovada offers the triple crown of gambling: casino, poker, and sports. Many other casinos have tacked on poker as an afterthought, and many poker rooms have tacked on a casino as an afterthought, and the lack of attention shows, sometimes painfully. And very few of these sites let you make sports wagers.
But Bovada doesn’t just offer all three, they do each one well, and everything’s integrated. It’s easy to play all three off one deposit, off just one account.
Another nice thing about Bovada is that you don’t need a separate account to play casino games with fake money. In fact you do not even need an account for that at all, you can just click over there and play. Finally, Bovada usernames are only six or seven characters long making them possible to remember. By contrast some competitors’ usernames are extremely long and cumbersome.

I'm very picky about whom I recommend. Any casino advertising on this site must meet my strict standards for quality, and I've outright rejected about half the outfits which have tried to advertise here. My gambling directory is a list of information-oriented sites which are hand-picked by me; I don't participate in link trades.
But even among casinos approved for advertising and sites I list in the directory, not just anyone can display the "Recommended by the Wizard" logo on their site. That privilege is reserved for a very, very select few. Below I list the sites who are approved to use this logo. Any site displaying the "Recommended" logo which is not listed below, is doing so without our permission. Wherever you see our "Recommended", make sure it links back to this page, and that the site in question is indeed listed here. If you find a site falsely claiming that they're recommended, please let me know.
This page is brand-new as of Oct. 2005 so I'm just starting to add sites to it. I'm proud to announce the very first site to earn the use of the Recommended logo:
Bodog Online Casino. Bodog is one of the most reputable online outfits around. Their customer service is friendly and competent, and I've never heard of any complaints about payouts. I have personally met several of their key staff and visited one of their customer support call centers. It doesn't get much better than this online.
