For those of you who might not be familiar with the fact, the Bodog brand is one of the industry giants, and it’s been around ever since 1994. Just recently, in 2019 they’ve decided to branch out to the Indian market and so they did, introducing an online betting venue that offers both casino and sports book options.
Even so some of you probably couldn’t care less about anything any sports book can offer to a potential new customer, let’s just remind you that most Indians are CRAZY about cricket, so kudos to those who run the Bodog company, as they’d surely done a decent market research before opening their latest subsidiary.
It’s all happened when Archer Media BV has obtained a license from the Government of Curacao, as they’d decided they need a separate venue to cater to the needs of Indian and wider Asian market.
The whole concept of having one account that makes it easy for you to both bet at a casino and a sports book is very appealing to many Indian punters, especially if we consider the experience Bodog has.
Signing up is easy, as it only takes clicking on the “Sign Up” button that’s located in the upper right corner of the website. After that, you will be prompted to decide upon a username and password, and you will be asked to provide your email address as well.
Afterward, you will receive an email with a registration link. Once you’re through registering and logging into your account, you are good to go! Keep in mind that you need to be at least 18 to be eligible to open an account here.
Promotional Offers
Let’s just start off from the very beginning: all the new customers at Bodog India will be greeted by a hefty introductory package, which can help them score significant winnings.
First of all, you will get a 10,000 Rupee no deposit bonus, just for the sake of registering an account. They will not hand it out to you all at once, though – for the first five days you will be given 2,000 Rupee each day. This bonus comes with a 25x rollover before you can make any withdrawal, which we believe is a pretty fair offer…
…but that’s just the beginning!
They will match your first FOUR deposits, and here is how it works: 100% match up to 50,000 Rupee for your first deposit, 25% match up to 25,000 Rupee for your second deposit, another 50% match up to 50,000 Rupee for your third deposit, and finally 75% match up to 75,000 Rupee for your fourth deposit.
This will surely keep you entertained and occupied for quite some time, but please do keep in mind that the welcome offer is valid only for the casino portion of the site, and not for the sports book.
All those who make their first deposits within a week after they’d opened an account will be greeted by yet another surprise – a possibility of scoring the jackpot bonus of yet another 100,000 Rupee.
Referring a friend will never feel that good again! At Bodog India, you can refer all the friends that share the same passion as you, and each referral will bring you a 1,000 Rupee bonus. There is no limit to the number of friends you’d like to refer, and each one of them will also be greeted with a 500 Rupee bonus upon creating an account.
In case you’ve thought the fun stops here
…think again as there’s the daily surprise bonus which makes it possible to win up to 40% of your wallet balance. Still, you’d have to play at least 100,000 Rupee worth of games over a day so that you could qualify for this bonus. Let’s just say that it’s reserved for high rollers.
A much more amusing option is the weekly cashback. It will provide you with 10% of your weekly losses, but treated as a bonus. In a way, it makes you think that you’re winning even when you’re losing. In order to qualify for the weekly cashback, you need to play at least 10,000 Rupee worth of games for one week.
There is a weekly Poker Tournament, that’s characterized by a rather unique concept, as there are three different paths leading to the actual event. Winning a seat can cost you as low as ONE Indian Rupee, or you can choose to qualify for the tournament directly by means of the 100K Rupee Special Qualifier.
Since poker tournaments are EXTREMELY popular in Asia, there are events scheduled specifically for the Asian punters.
Unfortunately, there is no VIP club or any other type of loyalty program for the Bodog India customers. But we are sure that’s about to change since this is a relatively new venue on the Indian market.
Games
Yes…
…Bodog India is aimed at providing a comprehensive betting experience for Indian gamblers, but it also includes an extensive sports book.
Indians are obsessed with cricket, so it’s no wonder it is probably the main attraction here. Cricket betting is coupled with football and tennis, too, along with other sports, but these three are the main focus, as far as sports betting options are concerned.
Now that we’d gotten that out of our way, let’s deal with what the casino has to offer…
The games lobby surely isn’t among the largest in the world, but it sure does have its ways of spoiling even the most experienced players.
It’s easy to work your way around the lobby as there are only two available categories: video slots and table games, so without further ado, let’s check what they’ve got in store for us!
Slots
Always the favorite among punters everywhere around the world, video slots usually occupy the largest portion of a games lobby.
The selection here includes Cricket Legends, A Night With Cleo, Arabian Tales, Terracotta Wilds, Tycoon Towers, Surf Paradise, Spartan Warrior, Rock On, Secret Garden, Red Fighters, Roll Out The Barrells, Pistols And Roses, Mystic Wolf, Lost Secret Of Atlantis, Japan-O-Rama, Metal Detector, Hole In Won, Hockey Enforcers, and even several hundred more!

Supported Devices and Platforms
As it’s been established in 2019, it’s pretty much obvious that a site like Bodog India works well on most platforms, be it desktop or mobile.
As far as the desktop site is concerned, you can access it simply by using your usual internet browser, and there is no need for any additional downloads or plugins for an immersive gambling experience.
Still, if you want to download their exclusive and official Poker Software, you can easily do so. It is available for both Windows and Mac machines, and it is actually a full suite of different casino games. Included with the download you will have access to various anonymous tables, ability to play up to 15 tables at the same time, and downloadable hand history. What’s not to like?
If you’re among those who prefer to browse the net via their mobile phones, you will be delighted to hear that the site is designed with mobile users in mind. All the menus are well-positioned, and the whole layout leaves no room for any doubts.
Everything is very intuitive and all the menus, features and options are easily accessible in a matter of a few clicks. It only takes a few minutes of exploration to feel right at home while using the site.
As of this moment, Bodog India does not have any official iOS or Android apps available for download, so you will have to rely on your mobile browser for covering all your gambling needs.
Banking Methods
First off, we have to say that since this is a site aimed at Indian players, it will only accept Indian Rupee, no matter which type of available banking methods you choose.
Visa and Mastercard are at the top of the list of most popular banking options, in the form of credit cards, debit cards, and even prepaid cash cards for those who prefer to remain as anonymous as possible when money transactions are concerned.
If you prefer using the virtual AstroPay card, you are going to love it here, as Bodog India accepts this banking method as well.
EcoBanq is not known outside of India, so in case you haven’t heard of it before, it is one of the most widely used e-wallet services over there, and it is known for fast and safe deposits and withdrawals anywhere on the web.
At the beginning of this segment, we’ve mentioned that the Indian Rupee is the only currency accepted, but there is another option available…
Bitcoins have taken the world by storm, so it’s no wonder they are also included here among the available banking options. It’s worth noting that Bitcoin Cash is accepted, as well.
Bodog India has very high regulatory and security standards, you can rest well assured that all the cashouts and transactions are safe, due to a rather trustworthy network.

Customer Support
If you happen to fall into some trouble or simply can’t find something you’re looking for, we suggest you first try clicking the “Help” button that’s located at the bottom of the homepage.
Once you do that, you will actually be redirected to a rather comprehensive FAQ page that will surely provide answers to most, if not all of your questions.
Failing this, the only remaining option is to send an email to [email protected]. Unfortunately, there is no direct mode of communication with the customer support staff. This is a big shame, as oftentimes you will end up in a situation that needs to be handled by a live, speaking or typing, human.
The casino would benefit greatly if they’d only opt to include a live chat platform, especially if we take into consideration the sheer size of the Indian market. It’s tolerable to a certain degree not to include a direct phone line as a means of communication with customer support, but either of these two would surely be an incredible improvement over the current situation.
Licencing
As is almost common practice for online betting venues that cater to any portion of the Asian market, Bodog India proudly sports a license issued by the Government of Curacao.
