−
=== 1997-2000: Cyberoad ===
 
−
 
 
−
Established in 1997, Cyberoad was a software company specializing in providing online betting systems. In 1998 their technology was used to launch numerous early internet sportsbooks including MayanSports.com, TheBigBook.com, GrandPrixSports.com, and TheSportsMachine.com. These betting sites offered credit card deposits and e-check withdrawals through the use of the eBanx payment processor. This allowed these sportsbooks to stand out as most of the industry were still relying on Western Union and cash payments.
 
−
On November 29, 1999 Cyberoad completed the purchase of eBanx.<ref>[https://www.bnamericas.com/en/news/Cyberoad_Completes_Ebanx_Acquisition "Cyberoad Completes Ebanx Acquisition"], ''bnamericas'', Costa Rica, November 29, 1999. Retrieved on 2019-09-17</ref> After raising money to go public Cyberoad shut down in 2000.
 
  
−
=== 2000-2001: El Moro and eSportz ===
+
As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, [https://bettingwiki.org/homepage/Bovada Bovada] is only available to residents of the United States with exception of those living in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,  and Nevada. Visit those respective pages for a list of available betting sites.
  
−
El Moro Finances acquired Cyberoad's assets on July 20, 2000.<ref> [https://www.lawinsider.com/contracts/3LgJ8B4fXaSvtQW595FMzb/cyberoad-com-corp/agreement/2000-07-20 "TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP"], ''Law Insider'', June 20th, 2000. Retrieved on 2019-09-17</ref> These were allocated to eSportz, a subsidiary of El Moro Finances. TheBigBook.com purchased GrandPrixSports.com and continued operating using the software distributed by eSportz. Other betting sites previously working with Cyberoad were left out of service, including MayanSports.com.
+
[[File:Bovada_Available_States_Map.png|center|400px]]
  
−
eSportz created their own betting site [[Bodog]] which was set to operate out of the same offices as [[The Big Book]]. Customers of [[Mayan Sports]] received e-mails informing them that their account information had been transferred over to Bodog.
+
== Deposit Methods ==
  
−
=== 2001-2003: Kazootek ===
+
The most common deposit methods are VISA, MasterCard, and American Express. Credit card deposits have no fees and must be between $20 and $1,000 USD. Users may also fund their accounts through cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are accepted and have no limits.
  
−
Both Bodog and The Big Book were using Kazootek Technologies as an accounting firm, who also managed the eBanx payment system. On June 15th, 2001 two employees of Kazootek Viktoria Zazuolina and Tatiana Kostiouk began embezzling money from company clients. They recruited Greg Tanner, a new employee, to assist them in starting a new company using technology and money stolen from Kazootek and their clients. The Big Book had agreed to use their services, and allegedly began planning to steal source code from eSPortz betting software. After an investigation began in 2003, Viktoria Zazuolina resigned from Kazootek. Bodog announced the termination of it's partnership with The Big Book, and decided to become the sole betting site using eSportz software.
+
Customers may also transfer their balance to their friends instantly through the voucher system.
−
 
 
−
=== 2004-2007: Bodog ===
 
−
 
 
−
In October of 2006 Bodog purchased WorldWide TeleSports for $9 million dollars, which was at the time one of the most reputable betting sites serving US markets. Following the purchase Bodog moved their offices from Costa Rica to Antigua, and absorbed WorldWide TeleSports existing staff members.
 
−
 
 
−
Calvin Ayre continued building Bodog's brand name.
 
−
 
 
−
=== 2007-2009: Domain Seizure ===
 
−
 
 
−
Bodog's primary domain (Bodog.com) stopped working on August 28, 2007. Founder Calvin Ayre e-mailed customers informing them that the site would go back online as soon as possible. Bodog.com was seized by 1st Technology LLC, whom held a patent regarding the transmission of information over a network with reduced bandwidth. 1st Technology LLC begun contacting Bodog in July 2005, and escalated to a lawsuit in September 2006 after not receiving a reply. Bodog representatives failed to appear in court, resulting in the judge issuing a default judgement in March 2007, citing patent infringement. Bodog was ordered to pay $48,937,456 in order to retain their domain.
 
−
 
 
−
Following the loss of their primary domain, Bodog released a statement saying that Mohawk Morris Gaming Group were now controlling all company business involving the US market. In an effort to regain control of Bodog.com, they appealed the initial court decision on the grounds that Bodog.com was no longer owned by Calvin Ayre or Bodog. The appeals escalated to Washington but were unsuccessful.
 
−
 
 
−
The loss of Bodog.com decreased site traffic obtained from years of prior advertising campaigns. Bodog switched to an alternative domain BodogLife.com until Mohawk Morris Gaming Group eventually paid 1st Technology LLC $48,937,456 in April 2019. Bodog regained control of Bodog.com, greatly increasing website traffic.
 
−
 
 
−
Bodog began expanding to international markets. Sportsbooks launched in Canada (Bodog.ca), United Kingdom (Bodog.co.uk), and Asia (Bodog88.com). The brand continued to grow, including sponsoring various English Premier League teams including Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion.
 
−
 
 
−
=== 2011-present: Bovada ===
 
−
 
 
−
Following a successful international expansion, Bodog decided to distance their brand name from the potential liability of the US gambling market. On December 14th, 2011 Morris Mohawk Gaming Group renamed the US sportsbook to Bovada. Existing players were notified of the change and assured that their account information was transferred over.
 
−

On December 14th, 2011 Morris Mohawk Gaming Group announced that it had ceased operating all Bodog branded websites.

Bovada is known as a [[square]] sportsbook. Betting lines are adjusted to make the square side worse to bet on relative to a high limit market. Consequently this yields a larger advantage on the opposing side. Observant bettors benefit from this by betting against the adjustments. Square markets are frequently (but not limited to) popular favorites and overs.
 +
 +
Numerous users on internet message boards have reported being dealt [[dual lines]] from Bovada. They observed that they no longer have access to the square lines available upon signup and are instead dealt odds resembling the broader market.

Users can watch a video stream of a human dealer running the game while results and betting options appear on screen.

Casino game outcomes are kept fair through the use of a pseudo random number generator. An algorithm produces a sequence of numbers and symbols which are used to determine game results. These sequences are completely random and fair for all users.

Retrieved on 2019-09-24</ref> This decision came two weeks prior to the rebranding of the US site. Anonymous tables favor casual players as it prevents experienced users from gathering information using tracking software. Many online poker players monitor the play-style of their competition. With this they can profile them (tight, loose, aggressive, passive) and change their betting style accordingly.

The casino features over 350 different games. The slot machines, table games, and video poker run on a modified version of Real Time Gaming (RTG) software. Recently Bovada began offering live dealer black jack, roulette, baccarat, and Super 6. Users can watch a video stream of a human dealer running the game while results and betting options appear on screen.

Casino game outcomes are kept fair through the use of a pseudo random number generator. An algorithm produces a sequence of numbers and symbols which are used to determine game results. These sequences are completely random and fair for all users.

The poker client can be downloaded for both Windows and Mac computers. Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, and Omaha Hi/Lo are the supported variants. No limit, Pot Limit, and Fixed Limit cash game tables are available as well as Zone Poker, Sit and Go, and regularly scheduled tournaments.

Anonymous Tables

On November 30th, 2011 Bodog poker room director Jonas Ödman announced the removal of screen names from the table interface.[1] This decision came two weeks prior to the rebranding of the US site. Anonymous tables favor casual players as it prevents experienced users from gathering information using tracking software. Many online poker players monitor the play-style of their competition. With this they can profile them (tight, loose, aggressive, passive) and change their betting style accordingly.
