Bodog.ca offers Canadian players access to world-class sports betting, a thriving and dynamic poker community, and a full Vegas-style casino with more than 80 web-based and downloadable games.

Bodog Europe offers its players a simple, feature-rich sports betting product, offering a vast selection of sports betting opportunities across all major leagues and featuring live betting and an 80+ track Racebook.

McDonnell revealed that Bodog Europe had originally secured the rights to the “Bodog” brand for use in Europe only. However, when he learned of BodogBrand.com’s willingness to entertain proposals to license the brand for use within Canada, he was quick to act, and secured the exclusive Canadian license.

It is not clear how the arrangement with Bodog Europe affects the Mohawk Morris group, which also has interests in the brand.
