Bodog Poker Review

About Bodog Poker

Even though the Bodog name has been dragged through the mud recently, by lawsuits surrounding the domains they had their site(s) on, and has been moved around from one domain to another, the brand remains a successful one. More and more players flock to Bodog’s tables and if you take a closer look at the operation, you’ll immediately realize why.

Bodog runs some of the best and most generous promotions directed to beginners and low-budget players, while in the same time keeping their high-rollers busy as well. Their sign up bonus is also a rather unique and attractive feature. They’ve updated their software not so long ago and the new soft undergoes regular upgrades.

Bodog Poker Games

The new software brought about a totally new attitude from Bodog towards game variety. Nowadays, Bodog features Holdem, Omaha, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud and most of the tables host plenty of action. The Texas Holdem tournament list is always huge, there’s always something going on, regardless of the limit you’re interested in. Their Specials and points tournaments offer great value for players and there are plenty of private freerolls or real money buy-in tourneys running as well. Don’t come looking for Razz or Pineapple if you play at Bodog though.

Bodog Poker Offers

As I stated above, Bodog’s success is largely due to its excellent promotions system, as well as great sign up bonus. From what I know, Bodog is the only online poker room which features STTs and MTTs custom tailored for rookies. These tourneys feature more money positions than regular ones, dividing the prize-pool for more ITM positions. You may win less if you reach the money, but you will reach it much easier.

Bodog is also one of the few poker rooms out there which run some well prize-pooled freerolls, without imposing any sort of restrictions on the players. Their daily $1,000 and $500 guaranteed freerolls are absolutely free to enter, all one needs to do is create an account.

Bodog Poker Sign up Bonus

Their sign up bonus is a 10% match on your first deposit, without a set maximum. (if you sign up through this site you might just get a better deal than that). While the 10% itself may not seem overly generous, the good news about the bonus is that it hits the player’s real money account right away. Of course, it needs to be unlocked to be cashable, but the redemption process is also relatively fuss-free.

In addition, playing poker at the poker tables earns you more bonus money. For every 10 poker points you earn at the tables you’ll receive an additional $1 in bonus up to 110% of your initial deposit (up to maximum of $500 USD and up to 30 days from making your first deposit) – that’s a 110% bonus!

Bodog also offers a very cool reload bonus of 110% on your consecutive deposits. There’s never been a better time to start playing than now!

Pros/Cons

The above mentioned promotion schemes and sign up bonus should weigh in heavily in the “pro” section of Bodog’s room analysis. The great traffic that they get, and the looseness of the competition are also a couple of ticks for the “+” column.

On the downside: multi tabling only supports up to three tables, so if you’re set on letting your edges work at several small stakes tables at once, you can forget about it.

Grade

The final decision: 8. Bodog is a good poker room, but it still has some catching up to do in several respects when one compares it to a site like Full Tilt.
