Bodog casino

[skiny]

After 2 deposits at Bodog casino I've had the worst payout percentage by far than any other RTG casino, in fact probably than any other casino using any software I've ever seen. 2 deposits in a row totaling roughly 50 dollars wagered down to zero almost entirely on 20 cent wagers and not a single bonus feature anywhere to be seen. Very few hits of more than 2x my wager and almost all zeros. My RTP according to the casino over both deposits is less than 50%. Neither deposit lasted more than 10 minutes. I played all the games that I've played for years using this software with the lowest possible variance. Nothing helped.

My conversations with support were less than fruitful. After talking to three different people it became quite obvious that support at this casino consists of a single text file that everyone copies and pastes from. I had to ask a dozen different ways if this casino thought this was acceptable and in the end I was finally told that it was. Basically I just got a "tough luck" attitude. I did get told that if I wagered over $5000 I would be eligible for 5 bucks next week as compensation. Of course to wager $5000 I would have to deposit about $3500. Not really worth the 5 bucks.

My recommendation, leave RTG alone. Use some other software. If you must play RTG then play where the casino and support are more player friendly and are at least a little concerned that a player can't make a deposit last more than about 8 minutes. There are many RTG casinos with better bonuses and better staff.

Actually if you were to compare there software to all the other RTG software casinos out there. It's not really RTG anymore.
It's bodogs own mix of different software providers to make there own casino software. This has been discussed in another thread. So basically to compare it to other RTG based brands isn't really fair honestly.
Personally I already had one great experience with BoDog. Deposited I think like 4 times at most. Never made a deposit above $30 and ended up getting a rather nice pay day out of them. The check arrived in a matter of days and everything seemed to work just fine.
Remember when gambling online. Even though you think your RTP should be in par with something around 95% or better. You have to remember the software doesn't have make a 95% return to you personally. As long as someone along the line gets a better return on there investment. Then the software is right in line with what its suppose to do.
Anyways, not trying to defend bodog in anyway or form. Becky can pretty much stand on her own, but remember bodog doesn't use RTG software. They have purchased the code and rewritten it to there liking versus using the standard cookie cutter solution.

Well, that's all fine and dandy but how is anyone supposed to know any of this? RTG shouldn't be letting anyone rewrite the code. When you play RTG games you should be playing RTG games.

I remember when RTG almost guaranteed a few hours play on a small deposit. I rarely withdrew anything but at least I got to play for a while. For some reason my old brain keeps remembering that and every few months I come back to it. Then I get reminded that now if you get 15 minutes out of a small deposit you're lucky. So far Bodog is the worst. 50 bucks got me about 16 minutes worth of 20 cent spins.

They also tried to tack on a 10% bonus on my first deposit automatically which would have given my deposit and bonus a 15X WR. Took me a half hour to get that removed before I started playing. In fact my first deposit took about an hour from the time I went out to load my card, made the deposit, got that silly 10% bonus removed and started playing. Then 8 minutes later I was broke.

The second time it happened I asked support what's with the 30% RTP on these games? They told me my payout percentage was 49% not 30 and it's all random so tough luck.

By the way, I uninstalled the casino. Tough luck.

I have unistalled Bodog several times. I reinstalled them because there was a nice post about them..However, my experience was just like yours, Skiny. I deposited 50.00 and it lasted about 12 minutes..Tried again, this time I tried 'their' games, that lasted about 9 minutes...So, off to the garbage can again, and this time it is staying there...

skiny, are u referring to canadain bodog?
i did not check it presently but when i downloaded it the first time, it looked extremely boring. I read many good things about non canadian bodog though.

also i may be wrong but i think i heard that bodog changed the back-end so it not RTG any more. again, not sure.

If I closed every account I didn't get playtime at after 2 deposits I wouldn't have any casinos left to play! Which might be a good thing actually!

My last few deposits at ClubWorld, iNetBet, Jackpot Capital, and multiple MGs have all been eaten pretty quickly. Ray won a $75 top prize in a tourney at 32Red and played the whole thing in a bunch of different games without once getting ahead or getting a bonus round in any of them. Sometimes it just sucks, it's gambling.

I don't know the difference. I got the link from the top of the accredited list.

Ya, but it never used to suck for so long or so often.

I hear you. But actually last summer was kind of the same - for me anyhow. Then in the fall and winter I started recuping a bit. Hopefully that will happen this year too. And if it does, next year I'll remember and just quit playing over the summer.
