Reason #5 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
Intelligent Bonuses
Many online casinos offer huge signup bonuses, but there's a catch. Buried in the fine print is that play on the most popular games doesn't count towards earning the bonus. It's common for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and Jacks or Better to be excluded. Sometimes everything except slots.
And that's if you can even find the terms and conditions. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big flaming letters but make you hunt all over the site to find the rules.
But Bodog allows play on all games to count towards the wagering requirement. It's that simple. Just no opposite betting. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bodog about this. The bonus offer itself is simple too: on your first deposit, they'll give you an extra 10%. If you deposit $100, you'll wind up with $110 in chips or tokens.
Finally, in the unlikely event that Bodog feels you've been abusing their bonuses they won't seize your winnings, like some other casinos. In the worst case scenario they will politely tell you that they will not be offering you any future bonuses but you are welcome to keep playing and keep everything you have made already.

One click and you're in:
 No popups, no download, no registration, no B.S., just the game.

Gambling sites recommended by The Wizard of Odds
Last update: Aug. 16, 2010
I hand-picked these sites to share resources which I feel are truly outstanding. This is not the kind of free-for-all list of worthless sites that you typically see elsewhere. I also have a separate page to show which sites authorized to use my "Recommended by the Wizard" seal.
I don't trade
links. I picked the sites below because
they're quality sites, not because they might link
back here. I won't link to low-quality sites just
because they might give me a link back. I don't accept
suggestions for this section either, because when I did
that 99.99% of the sites that webmasters suggested to me
were worthless.
How to get a link.
You can't get your site listed here. I don't trade links, I don't sell links, and I don't accept suggestions for additions, because when I did that I was inundated with suggestions for worthless sites. If I run across your site on our own, and I like it, then I'll list it here.
