Well, who hasn't heard of Bodog yet? They've been huge in the online casino industry since forever. Their website and games are very attractive and accessible, and they have a lot less fine print than some other popular gaming sites.

Bodog is the big dog of online casinos, however some gamers feel they have grown too big for their britches. We won't take the word of any single reviewer that we read on the web as verbatim, and we've never had a deal-breaking experience with Bodog ourselves. However, with that said, there are some unhappy ex-Bodog-gamers out there.

Due to seeing more negative reviews than we could possible ignore outright, and mediocre bonuses, we place Bodog at the bottom of our top ten list. However, for excellent customer service response time, straightforward terms of use, and fantastic help bringing newbies into the fun, it does remain in the top ten list.
