Bodog Poker is a quality site for casual and hardcore poker players
alike. Founded by now mega-billionaire Calvin Ayre originally as Bodog, now Bodog.com, the site has been in
operation for several years with their current poker software. Along with
being the top sportsbook in the world, they now have been getting great
praise for their online poker room. With traffic hitting great numbers,
sportsbook players moving over money into the poker room, and having a lot
of top professional poker players endorse their product, this room will be
a force to be reckon with for years to come.
Bodog Poker offers a very unique 1st deposit bonus, which gives new players
a 10% INSTANT match on your first deposit up to $1,000.
UPDATE -
Bodog Poker just announced a limited time
special 100% deposit bonus just for poker players. This is in addtion
to the 10% upfront deposit bonus for a total bonus of 110%! The great part
about this is that you get to
start playing with the 10% bonus right away as the bonus will be placed in your
real money account within 30 minutes of the deposit. You will need to earn
3 times the amount of the bonus in “Bodog Player Points” before you can
withdraw any of the bonus money. The special 100% deposit bonus (up to
$1,100) is earned at a rate of $1 for every 10 Bodog Poker points you
earn during the first 30 days after you make your initial deposit.
Bodog Poker is open to players
which is one of the big factors in their amazing growth over the last
year.
Bodog Poker has recently upgraded their software as well, which now
supports multi-table play with no glitches. The play at the tables is also
very easy to follow with some really good graphics. The one thing they are
missing is the “average hands/hour” statistics in the lobby. The software
is usually very fast so this shouldn’t be an issue though. The software
includes the following games; Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card
Stud, & Card Stud Hi-Lo and 5 Card Stud. Each game is offered as low as
$.02/$.04 all the way up to $100/$200.
There are around 10,000 players logged in during peak hours. When the site was known as Bodog, the traffic was decent, now that they have switched to Bodog Poker, the traffic is great. The Texas
Hold'em tables receive a majority of the players but you would be
surprised to see how many active Omaha tables are running around the
clock. The different Stud variations usually have a handful of active
tables even during off hours. The added player base makes for loose action
as well. The flop percentages at Bodog.com are some of the highest you
will find at an online poker room. I am not just referring to the small
stakes tables; even at the higher stakes it is easy to find a very soft
table.
Bodog, when compared to sites like Full Tilt Poker and
PokerStars.net,
obviously has less poker players and action. However, there are always
enough players online to find a good poker game at the stakes you enjoy. The best time to play at Bodog.com is Sunday after the sports bettors collect their winnings and head to the poker room to have a little fun.
The customer service at Bodog.com is fast and knowledgeable. You can
contact them through email and by calling their toll free telephone
number. Email support usually responds very quickly and if you choose to
call support instead the wait times are very low.
Bodog - AKA Bodog Poker - gives out many seats to major offline events like the World
Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. There is also a $100,000
guaranteed tournament with many satellites and feeders so all player can
have a chance to play. Bodog.com receives many new players from the casino
and sportsbook that are connected with the site. These inexperienced
players create a very loose playing environment at the tables.
You can deposit funds at Bodog.com via Visa, Mastercard, Instant e-Check,
NuCharge and eWalletXpress. Bodog Poker is one of the only poker rooms that
offers e-checks to players. This is a great alternative to credit
card deposits.
