Matched Betting
What is the "Matched Betting Value" listed above? This is the amount of profit that you can make from the sign-up offer through a technique called matched betting. In short, it is a mathematical approach to sports betting that guarantees profit by hedging your bets. This allows you to cover all possible outcomes and secure a profit no matter what happens in the game. This is different from gambling because there is no risk of losing.

Bodog is a long-running gambling brand, founded in 1994, that offers a sportsbook, online casino, racebook, and a poker room that shares traffic with Ignition and Bovada on the PaiWangLuo network. The Bodog brand exited the U.S. market in 2011, with Bovada serving U.S. players and Bodog focusing on Canada and selected international markets.
Availability and Legality
Bodog does not operate under U.S. state licenses and is not available to U.S. residents. Historically the brand has targeted Canada and some other jurisdictions. Recent Canadian enforcement has tightened. In May 2025, a Manitoba court granted a permanent injunction ordering Bodog to stop operating or advertising in ways accessible to Manitobans and to implement geoblocking for bodog.eu. Ontario has its own regulated market and third-party guides note Bodog is not available there. Always expect geoblocks where regulators act.

MLB House Rules
Each sportsbook has its own House Rules which determine how a bet is graded. These rules cover unlikely events, such as what happens to your bet when a game is canceled.
Usually, the different house rules across sportsbooks do not have an impact on matched betting. However, in Major League Baseball (MLB), there are notable exceptions. A simple example is when a game is postponed due to weather. Read our House Rules Comparison guide to learn more.
For MLB it is also important to understand what defines Action.
