On May 22, Bodog announced Bodog.com was on the verge of hitting its 3 millionth sign-up milestone, and they’re happy to announce that Charles C. of AZ is Bodog.com’s lucky 3 millionth sign-up! Along with being the only person able to boast about being the 3 millionth sign-up for one of the world’s top online gaming companies, Charles was rewarded the exclusive 3 millionth sign-up prize package, and he knows just how he’s going to use it.

The exclusive 3 millionth sign-up prize package consisted of $100 in BodogLive credits, $100 in Casino chips, $25 to be used in the Racebook, and a $109 buy-in to one of Bodog.com’s Sunday $100,000 guaranteed online poker tournaments.

Elizabeth Fairview, a writer for Bodog.com’s blog, the Bodog Beat, had a chance to talk with Charles about becoming lucky number 3 million, and his plans for the exclusive prize package.

Charles, primarily a Football and Racebook bettor, when asked why he chose Bodog.com, said “I came to Bodog for the convenience of betting live versus driving 30 miles to place a bet,” and place a bet he did. After placing a few singles and a Quinella Box on the ponies, he was contacted, given the good news, and awarded his exclusive 3 millionth sign-up prize package. When asked how he plans to spend his new found bankroll, he said he’ll be putting his $100 in BodogLive credits towards some in-game action on his favorite NBA team, the L.A. Lakers, in the finals. He plans to take his $100 in Casino chips to the dice tables, and may even jump in on some Pai Gow action. But what’s got our lucky 3 millionth sign-up more excited than anything else is this weekend’s 141st Belmont Stakes, where he’s picked Derby winner “Mine That Bird” or “Chocolate Candy” to take down the race, and the upcoming NFL season, where he’ll be rooting for his favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings, to have a big year!

With Bodog.com’s 3 millionth sign up announced, and the exclusive prize package awarded, it’s time to look ahead to even bigger milestones, like our 4 millionth sign-up and the 15 year anniversary of the Bodog brand. Big things are in the works for the Bodog brand, and 2009 is going to truly be a banner year for the brand. Don’t miss a minute of the action and excitement, visit www.bodog.com!
