We've run Free Bet contests like this before, but this was the most exciting prize we've offered," said Bodog Operations Manager Rob Gillespie. "One shot at the College Hoops final game - for free - is every player's dream! We're really happy for the winners."

"I am very pleased with the customer service at Bodog. They're very courteous and helpful. I was first impressed when I signed up and was offered a freeplay bonus...and now, winning the contest, that was a complete and pleasant surprise."- 2nd Place Prize Winner, Ed D.

Gillespie was also pleased that the contest allowed many players to score a 10% Re-load Bonus in time for the Final 4, and introduced many to Bodog's ground-breaking new Direct Bank Transfer payment method. "It was a slam dunk for players - they got a chance to try the fastest payout method in the Sportsbook, Casino and Poker industry on one of the most exciting sports weekend of the year... and then scored a 10% Bonus for good measure. Direct Bank Transfer is quickly setting a new standard in this business, and we've heard nothing but good things from our players who have registered to use it. All in all, it was a great week for us at Bodog!"
