Room: BOVADA - Sports

Bovada is the continuation of the popular Bodog brand under a new name – with branding and services which will be familiar to anyone who has bet at Bodog before. Unusually, they only allow customers from the U.S., which means worldwide sports bettors can’t open a betting account here and they must go to bodog.eu.

Bovada is owned by the Morris Mohawk Gaming Corporation and licensed out of the Kahnawake territory. With a history going back more than 15 years, this trusted brand provides easy payment options and generous promotions.

Sports Covered by Bovada

As you’d expect at the US-only book, the focus is on providing lines for the big North American sports. Football, Basketball, Hockey and Baseball lines, props and live betting is offered. You’ll find plenty more sport coverage including Tennis, Golf and College Football. You can also bet on popular international sports including Soccer. Horse racing is popular enough here to get its own dedicated section of the website – with further tabs for regular races and the big events.

Site Usability at Bovada

The familiar Bodog-brand black and red design looks and feels very professional. The website is well laid out compared to many other Sportsbooks. The important pages have tabs across the top, while you can find the list of sports and lines available on the left hand side. Featured lines based on current events are easy to access, and there is a dedicated results tab too. The betting slip is on the right and updates dynamically as you add bets. This is tabbed, allowing you to view singles, parlays, teasers and round-robins separately.

Bovada have made their website fully compatible with Apple and Android mobile devices via their responsive in-browser version. You do not need to download a dedicated app to use this feature, which will adapt to your screen-size automatically.

2016 Bonuses and Special Offers

New players get a free bet matched at 100% of your first deposit amount. This has a very easy 5x play-through requirement, in fact I can’t think of any other sportsbook that has less than 5x. Most books have a 6x-10x rollover on bonuses. Once you turn over the deposit plus bonus amount 5 times the bonus is yours. There are weekly rebates for horse racing bets in addition to this bonus.

It is the regular one-off promotions which keep your bankroll topped up at Bovada. These change all the time based on which sports are in season. They range from free bets to bonuses for completing certain requirements (making three different types of bet on Baseball for example). I recommend you keep a close eye on www.bovada.lv to make sure you do not miss out on the latest deals.

You will also be offered additional bonuses – some of them also very generous – to try out the different gambling games at this site. This includes online poker and a casino packed with the latest slot and table game titles.

Depositing and Withdrawing From Bovada

Payment processing is a strong area for this Sportsbook. They have a range of easy options and a support team who specialize in getting deposits from US customers through. This team is available around the clock 365 days a year to help with any queries.

Your main options are credit cards, with Visa and MasterCard often getting through first time. Pre-paid Visa cards which can be used for International purchases are also accepted. You can also try the virtual MasterCard solution of MyPayLinQ. Western Union’s ‘Rapid Transfer’ can also be used at Bovada, who will refund fees incurred if you deposit more than $300.

Paper checks are the most popular withdrawal method. Rapid Transfer withdrawals also possible, I recommend you speak with customer support to arrange this.

What Makes Bovada.lv Stand Out From Other Sportsbooks?

The main difference here is the focus on US sports fans. Their selection of sports bet, payment methods and promotions are all 100% dedicated to bettors from the United States. You get the familiarity and trust of a long running brand at Bovada, who have more than 15 years in the business.

Add to this live betting, a great selection of prop bets and some generous and entertaining promotions and you’ll understand how this brand have remained so popular for so long.

Horse racing fans will appreciate the clean layout of this area of the site. You’ll have access to races from all over the US. Big events including the Breeders Cup and Triple Crown have their own selection of props and head-to-head bets.
