Bodog Poker Review
: Accepts USA? Yes
Bodog Poker has been an industry leader for a number of years but recently, has fallen off the tracks some what. They are now looking to climb back up the ladder and are making huge improvement with faster cash outs and less player problems.
They are hosted on their own independent software which is well built to provide players with a fast paced game of poker. They also offer solid promotions and a great first time deposit bonus. Visit Bodog Poker
Bodog offers an enticing 110% first deposit bonus up to $500. After your deposit Bodog instantly credits your account with 10% of the bonus. Then in the 30 days after your deposit, for every 10 points you earn you will be given $1 of your bonus until the other 100% is released. After the 30 days the bonus will expire and you will be unable to clear any more of the money.
You can earn a maximum of 1 point per hand, depending on the amount of rake taken from the hand, which means the bonus is fairly easy to clear. You also earn 3 points for each $1 you pay in tournament fees and they even credit you with 1 point for every hour of poker you play! Visit Bodog Poker
Bodog doesn’t host a wide range of promotions but the available promotions on offer are fairly rewarding for the player. The biggest arguably being the tournament leader board in which the winner plays a professional poker player, such as David Williams and Evelyn Ng, heads up for the chance to win $1000. Runners up receive additional prizes such as tournament credits and tournament tokens.
There is also a monthly leader board in which each month’s winner receives entry into a 2 table SNG. The prizes for the top two players are entry into a live event of the player’s choice.
Bodog Poker also offer a 100% reload bonus, which works the same way in which the second part of the initial deposit bonus, bad beat bonus, royal flush bonus and refer a friend promotions. Visit Bodog Poker
Bodog are well known for their hugely popular multi table tournaments. They offer a wide range of daily tournaments including player point tournaments and huge guaranteed prize pools.
Their biggest tournament is the weekly $100k. The tournament runs each Sunday at 4pm EST and has a buy-in of $100 + $9. Players can also satelillte their way to the tournament from just $1. The tournament often attracts so many players that the prize pool goes over the $100,000 which is guaranteed. These offers more value for your buy-in however there is no overlay value on offer.
Bodog also run yearly “Bodog Poker Opens”. The games have huge prize pools and qualification tournaments are running now! Visit Bodog Poker
Although Bodog is not as heavily trafficked as other sites, they have a decent amount of players and stakes up to $10/20 are normally well populated. This means you can always find a game below those stakes at any time throughout the day.
There is plenty of soft competition to be found at Bodog Pokers ring games and as the lower limits attract the most players; this is where you will find the worst players. Players per flop % are, on average, around 50% at lower limit games and you can find exceedingly high percentages at limits much higher. Visit Bodog Poker
Bodog Poker runs on their own independent software and it is well accustomed to offer players exactly what they look for in a poker site. It is highly user-friendly; although at first navigation may be a bit tricky.
Whilst on the poker table it shows players their stats on a large column to the right of the software. This allows players to concentrate more on their game then having to look around for their stats. Players can also edit the colour of the poker table to fit their personality. This increases the usability of the site as players can choose a colour which allows them to be perfectly comfortable whilst playing. Players can also display their own personal avatar, which can be uploaded from the software. The design of the poker table is quite unique as they have ditched the old fashioned poker table and opted for a “floating carpet” style.
Bodog recently updated their software to allow players to resize tables. This has enabled easier multi tabling although the biggest drawback to the Bodog software is the ability to only have 3 poker tables running simultaneously. This is a huge problem for players who prefer to player several tables at one time.
Players can also customize options such as displaying avatars, enabling animations and turning the sound on and off. Visit Bodog Poker
Currently, Bodog only offers support via their contact page and through phone. Whilst on the contact page, players must fill out a form fully describing the nature of their problem. The question is then passed on to a member of staff best qualified to answer. Visit Bodog Poker
Bodog Player Traffic Review
As we have mentioned Bodog Poker has ever increasing amounts of traffic. Currently it has 2,400 ring game players online at peak hours and 9,000 tournament players online at peak traffic. Although the numbers are not great, you should never struggle to find a game running which suits you and when it suits you. Visit Bodog Poker
