To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker is offering No Juice on the Atlanta Hawks @ Indiana Pacers game (Sunday, March 17 @ 2:30 pm ET), and 1/2 Juice on the Dallas Mavericks @ L.A. Lakers game (also Sunday, at 9:30 pm ET).

These two games were chosen to showcase the NBA's two marquee "Irish" players : Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal, and are available to Bodog players in addition to the other bonuses currently available (see below).

"We wanted to our offer our players something fun for St. Patrick's Day," explains Rob Gillespie, Bodog's Operations Manager. "What could be better than an NBA bonus featuring Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal?"

To receive either the No Juice or 1/2 Juice bonus (or both), Bodog players simply need to place a pointspread wager on either the Hawks-Pacers and /or the Mavs-Lakers game on March 17th, and they will not have to pay the standard 10% Juice on winning bets.As March Madness gets set to tip off, Gillespie offered a reminder of some of the other specials currently available at Bodog. "This is the best time of the year to become a Bodog player," he says. "There are currently more ways to earn bonus cash than ever before, and now we've also got a better, faster way for players to collect their winnings."

Bonus Madness!

"We're offering a 20% Bonus for a new player's first deposit, and currently there's another 10% Bonus for all Western Union deposits of $100 or more. With the crazy NCAA tournament schedule, plus NBA, NASCAR, PGA and NHL all at full speed, these bonuses should make this March our busiest month ever." Gillespie predicts that the madness of March will continue into April, when Baseball, NBA & NHL playoffs and the Masters get the spring season underway... and more new Bonuses are launched.
