BodogLife Poker

BodogLife Poker (formerly known as just BodogPoker) is a quality site for casual and hardcore poker players alike. Founded by now mega-billionaire Calvin Ayre, 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.

BodogLife offers a very unique 1st deposit bonus, which gives new players a 10% INSTANT match on your first deposit up to $1,000.

UPDATE -  BodogPoker 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 $500) is earned at a rate of $1 for every 10 BodogPoker points you earn during the first 30 days after you make your initial deposit.

 BodogLife is open to all U.S. players which is one of the big factors in their amazing growth over the last year.

BodogPoker 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. 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 BodogLife 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.

BodogPoker.com, when compared to a site like Party Poker, 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 is Sunday after the sports bettors collect their winnings and head to the poker room to have a little fun.

The customer service at BodogLife 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.

BodogLife 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. Bodoglife 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 Bodoglife via Visa, Mastercard, Instant e-Check, NuCharge and eWalletXpress. Bodoglife is one of the only poker rooms that offers e-checks to U.S. players. This is a great alternative to credit card deposits as they are sometimes declined by U.S. banks.
