How do I know my financial information is secure?

Bodog works hard to ensure your account information is secure. While online banking and e-commerce is very safe, as a general rule you should be careful about giving out your personal financial information over the Internet.

To ensure any emails received from Bodog are genuine, look for a proper Bodog greeting. Bodog emails will always begin with your last name and Bodog account number. Emails will be sent from Bodog.ca, and newsletters will be sent from press@reply.bodog.ca.

When signing in to your Bodog account, avoid using any hyperlinks that you receive in suspicious emails or newsletters. You should always manually enter the URL as www.bodog.ca.

You may be requested to fax documentation to us to verify personal or financial information used in your Bodog account. However, you will never be asked for your personal password. If you are suspicious about an unsolicited email that asks for documentation, sign in to your Bodog account. If the email is legitimate, a copy of it will be included in your account messages. If no message is waiting for you, or if you are suspicious of any requests concerning your Bodog account, call our Financial Services Department at the number listed below. If the request is legitimate, a representative will authenticate it. Also, do not fax requested documentation to any number other than the fax number listed below.
