The talks about Bodog leaving the US market come January were flying all over the internet, but the real story isn’t so much that Bodog will be leaving the US market; but that the NAME Bodog will be leaving the US market. Bovada is the new option for United States based gamblers, and what’s interesting about the new site, is that it’s actually almost the EXACT same as Bodog, just with a new name. This new site is up and running for US players, and even if an online gambler from the United States attempts to go to Bodog, they will be re-routed to Bovada, and have a message explaining why this happened.
The site is under Bovada.lv, and the .lv stands for Latvia. No one is exactly sure as to why they didn’t choose to go with the popular .co or .ag that US players have found themselves used to seeing after Black Friday occurred. Possibly the best part about Bovada is something that we’ve already mentioned, that they will still have the exact same promotions and games available for their players. What this means is that players can still do all of their sports betting, play online poker, and play at the casino tables the same way that they did on Bodog. The feel of the site is the exact same, but overall players will feel incredible comfortable and confident playing at this new site.
So for any United States based players who are looking to continue their action or simply looking for a new online gambling site that offers it all, head over to Bovada (or just go to Bodog and they’ll re-direct you automatically) to get in on the action. Overall, Bovada is simply a new name, but is the same excellent gambling options for players out there.
The real question that many people are asking is why Bodog decided to make this move. The easiest answer to that is the answer that many other online gambling sites used for making changes, and it’s simply because they want to avoid run-in’s with the US government, or find themselves involved in any issues such as Black Friday.
