Survey indicates Bodog's Direct Bank Transfer a success with players

Over the past month Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker's Player Development Department conducted an extensive survey of it's players on Direct Bank Transfer, the revolutionary deposit and withdrawal method exclusive to Bodog.

"The only way to really tell how well something works is by talking to the people who use it on a regular basis," said Rob Gillespie, Operations Manager. "Our players responded unanimously that Direct Bank Transfer is by far the most pain-free withdrawal and deposit method in the industry."

Direct Bank Transfer allows clients to make deposits and withdrawals with their personal bank account without having to use a third party or pay any fees. Of the 1000 clients that were surveyed, 52% rated Direct Bank Transfer as a 10 out of 10. Another 19% rated it a 9 and 14% rated is an 8.

"85% of our client base graded Direct Bank Transfer as an 8 or higher," said Gillespie. "We're very happy with the results but will continue to make improvements that will have 100% of clients rating it as a 10 out of 10."

What the players are saying:

"I would give it a rating of 9. I'm very pleased with this method of cash transactions. With the banks tightening the availability of credit card transaction relating to gaming, this method has proved to be very effective. And best of all no transaction FEES," said Steve H., Auburn WA.

In the past two months Bodog has made changes to the program which has seen it's popularity rise. Signing up for Direct Bank Transfer can now be done over the phone or Internet and takes no more than five minutes.

"With a quick phone call players are signed up and ready to go," said Gillespie. "Then you're set up and can have easy access to your winnings."

Players can now also make up to four separate $500 deposits per month.
