In a world with high rollers and average Joes, there are two casino experiences. One is fraught with lineups and tokens, while the other has red carpets and personalized service. The latter is something we all strive for because let’s face it: life is better as a VIP.
When you rise up the ranks of a casino’s VIP program, you enjoy many perks along the way. At Bodog Casino, we have a special class of VIP players who have access to top-tier services and products, including higher transaction limits, faster withdrawals, exclusive VIP offers, premium customer service, and, in the case of our loyalty program, richer redemption rates for rewards points.
Reaching VIP status at our online casino can be achieved by anyone who plays enough games at high enough stakes to get noticed. We send out VIP invitations to players who display this high level of gaming on an ongoing basis.
As for our casino loyalty program, it starts at the ‘Bronze’ level when you first sign up for an account. As your subsequent sessions are logged, you’ll move up the tiers that include Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and lastly, Black. Any of these higher tiers are VIP worthy, and once you reach them, you lock it down, proving that once you become a VIP at Bodog Casino, you’re always a VIP.
In this Strategies for VIP Casino Players guide, we look at the benefits of being a VIP here and beyond for casino players. So, let’s roll out that red carpet and mix a martini—it’s time to enjoy the good life in the casino world.
Sign up for Loyalty Program/Membership
The first step to becoming a VIP anywhere is to sign up for the venue’s loyalty program. The only way a casino will know you’ve put in the volume of a VIP is if you’re part of the membership/loyalty program. This is free at most places and simply records your deposits and withdrawals. If you make enough of them, you’ll be eligible for perks based on your level of play.
At major casino chains in Las Vegas, people refer to “comps” as the perks offered by casino management. That could mean free or discounted stays at the hotel, concierge service, concert tickets, and even limousine pick up and drop off services. It all depends on the size of the venue and your level of play.
Perks and player rewards are also available at online casinos. At Bodog, we have a loyalty rewards program and a VIP club (bVIP) and you don’t need to sign up for either of them. When you first create a Bodog account, you’re automatically signed up for the loyalty rewards membership, starting at the default ‘Bronze’ level. As for the bVIP membership, eligible players are automatically invited to join at our discretion.
We find new VIP members monthly, based on the action in their account. If you play enough games to prompt an invitation to bVIP, you’ll get to transition to the red-carpet online casino experience.
Redeem Bonuses
Becoming a VIP is all about putting in the volume, and that’s easier to do when you’re starting with a big beefy bankroll. Sure, you could fund it independently, but why not take advantage of some bonuses to really get it boosted?
Anyone signing up for a new account at Bodog is eligible for a Welcome Bonus. The popular match bonus goes far in helping new players take their game to the next level. A player’s initial deposit is doubled with this 100% match for up to $600 in bonus funds to use in our casino. Once you work through its 25X rollover requirement, you’re free to withdraw it, along with the deposit connected to it, and spend it however you want.
Bonuses don’t stop after the welcome one. Take advantage of our referral program and pocket a 200% match on your referred friend’s initial deposit (up to $200 max); this is an ongoing program aimed to reward people for sending likeminded players our way.
Keep an eye on our Promotions page and your inbox to watch for fresh new offers that pop up occasionally. Every bonus helps get you up to VIP status.
Anyone who’s invited to become part of our Bodog VIP club gets even more impressive bonuses, including a welcome one tailored to VIPs, when they join the club. You won’t know what it is until you join, but it’s worth the wait.
Enjoy Priority Service
A VIP never waits in line. Whether you’re flying first class on a commercial flight or enjoying box seats at the Super Bowl, VIP service attendants are very responsive.
That is certainly the case with our 24/7 Customer Service queue. Anytime you need to speak with someone from our Customer Service team, you’ll be prioritized as a VIP. The quality of support is tailored to support this high level of care, creating a personalized touch. Say good bye to all the time wasted waiting for someone to pick up the line and help. You’ve got better things to do with your time.
Get Superior Transaction Experiences
Moving money around should be easy. Over the years, advances in retail point of purchase machines have eliminated the nuisance of having to keep cash on hand or key in lengthy passcodes with a debit card.
Online casino transactions aren’t quite to that level of ease, but there has been considerable improvement over the last decade.
At Bodog, you can deposit and withdraw funds according to the limits outlined on our Transaction page. The maximum deposit amounts vary between $500 and $1,500 with our traditional deposit methods that include Interac e-Transfers, Direct Bank Transfers and certain credit cards (Visa, MasterCard).
As for the maximum withdrawal requests, these are capped at $3,000, unless you want to be paid with a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
When you’re a VIP, however, these limits don’t apply. You’ll enjoy higher transaction limits overall, and get paid sooner than what’s possible with the average player. Save time and eliminate unnecessary transactions thanks to the higher limits that go along with being a high roller.
Exclusive Offers
We talked a little bit about the importance of redeeming bonuses to support the level of play needed to become a VIP, but these standard bonuses pale in comparison to what’s available to players who are either part of bVIP or are in the upper echelon of our loyalty rewards program.
After all, only the very best offers attract the attention of these high-achieving players. For that reason, we customize the offers that go out to VIP members, ensuring they exceed the value of our standard offers. You can be certain that as a VIP, you will receive only the very best offers crafted by our casino experts. No junk mail.
Better Rewards Redemption Rates
This perk is for the Bodog Casino players who are part of our loyalty rewards program. The crux of this program is to reward play with points that can be exchanged for casino bonuses. While the type of game you play will dictate the volume of points you earn, the tier you reach (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Black) dictates the value of the points.
Each tier has a unique redemption rate that improves as you move up. For example, the initial Bronze tier allows you to redeem points at a rate of 2,500 points per dollar. The Diamond and Black tiers offer a superior redemption rate of 1,000 points per dollar. Players move up these tiers as they earn points and maintain their status even after redeeming them.

Event Invitations
It’s no surprise that VIP players get to attend all of the best events in the casino world. Invitations are sent out to the top-tier players, who pick and choose which ones they want to join. These perks are typical whether you’re part of a land-based casino program or online casino.
At Bodog, we offer invitations to exclusive events and parties to all of the members of our bVIP club. These invitations distinguish you as a Bodog VIP; you can expect other VIP players to also be in attendance at these events that take place all over the world. Now that you know the perks that come along with reaching VIP status in the casino world, you can decide if it’s worth pursuing. We always recommend simply playing at the level that works for you, and if that is sufficient for garnering a VIP invitation—congratulations. We’ll see you at bVIP Club, where you can enjoy an elevated online casino experience.
