Reason #3 why the Wizard likes Bovada:

Excellent Odds

In my opinion many online casinos are too stingy when setting the odds on their games. They think they will make more money that way but I believe they are misguided, because when players lose too quickly it’s not fun, and those players might not come back.

Bovada is one of the few casinos that understands this. They offer generous odds to let you play longer and get you a better chance of winning. Among their generous offerings are Full-Pay Jacks or Better returning 99.54%, six other video poker games paying over 99%, single-zero roulette, and my favorite, Pick ’em Poker, returning 99.95%!

Kudos to Bovada for not being afraid to give their players a good gamble.

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.
