OVERALL view on Bodog poker
Bodog Poker offers fast and ultra-simple, no frills poker play with 20,000+ players online at peak times. Bodog's decision to continue to accept US players and it's wide range of online entertainment offerings (poker, sports betting, casino, digital music and more) means Bodog's customer numbers are growing rapidly. It is a fun site and, for poker players, offers lots of bankroll building opportunity!
Licenced in Antigua, the UK, and Kahnawake, Canada, Bodog Entertainment is one of the world's fastest growing online media and digital entertainment companies. (yes, that includes great online poker, casino games and sports betting...)
Bodog Poker's software is ultra simple and plays very quickly. It offers some good features but despite offering multi-table play at up to 3 concurrent tables Bodog would not be my choice if you like to play multiple tables. (I'd play CarbonPoker.com). Picture in picture or Multi-window table views are available though. Good features include separate dealer announcements and chat, Quick Seat in the lobby gets you into a game ultra-fast, the folded hands display shows what would have happened, Bodog gives good table stats for analysis and the ability to tag and annotate players for future reference (Screen shots of BodogPoker.com tables below)
Designed in-house, Bodog Poker software is unique. The download is 31.8MB (about industry average). No Instant Play version is available. The single wallet across sports/poker/casino, etc is fully integrated and you can retrieve your eCash balance, deposit, cash-out or change details anytime.
DEPOSITS - The minimum amount you can deposit is $20. Deposit by Instant Check, NETeller, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, Speedcard, eWalletXpress, PaySafeCard, NUcharge, Credit Card (Visa or Mastercard), Debit cards: Switch, Solo, Delta, Maestro, Checks, Checks (FedEx or Mailed)
WITHDRAWALS - Bodog covers the fees for all payouts and will process money back to the method you used to deposit. Some providers however may charge you to receive your funds (but that's between you and your bank!)
Bodog Poker 's rake is about average for the industry - they rake a maximum of 5% or $3. A no flop, no rake policy applies. Bodog Poker, Casino, Sportsbook & Racebook uses SSL encryption for online security and their back office processes protect access to your personal and financial data. These guys are pros and have run successfully for over a decade so security (and anti collusion/anti fraud) measures are important to them - and protect you.

money matters at Bodog POKER
Bodog Poker is 'stand alone' - no poker network sharing player traffic. They are one of the largest & fastest growing poker sites and offer reasonable traffic 24x7. Best player volumes occur in peak US times with around 4K real money ring game players and up to 20K tournament players seated. No wait for tables, lots of choice at most stake levels, esp no limit Texas Holdem.
The games offered are: Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Five-Card Stud. No-Limit, Pot-Limit, and Fixed-Limit game options too. You can play Full-table games, short-handed or at heads-up tables.
Player skill varies considerably but in general Bodog attracts lots of 'fish' (money making opportunities) as the sports betting, martial arts and digital music sides of the business draw in novice and loose players. This is common knowledge though, so there are lots of better players cashing in on this. Tag and annotate players to be selective!
Get a 10% bonus on your first deposit - uncapped! (So if you deposit big you get lots of extra chips!) - or a 110% deposit match to $550. More info on the Bodog bonus below.
Bodog Poker provides lots of onsite 'getting started' tips. Simple poker game rules (so if you're sick of Texas Hold'em you can try Omaha...), cheat sheets and hand guides as well as a few interesting tips from professional poker players. There is always something new worth a look.
Downloading the software is quick and hassle-free, support is available 24x7 with live chat online or email and phone options. Play for free or for real - this is a well established and well run poker room that you can have confidence in.
1. The Bodog slogan: Poker. Play Hard. It just somehow appeals and
fits the whole atmosphere of this up beat poker room.
2. Easy to play software - hassle free (but not the prettiest on the net)
3. Single wallet across sports betting, casino, poker and other stuff I'm yet
to get into like music downloads, mixed martial arts and digital TV....
4. Great reputation. These guys have provided SAFE, secure, fair online
gambling for over a decade and know their stuff.
5. US player friendly - this site has a huge US player base - and all
the bigger tournaments play in "US friendly" time zones
1. Bodog Poker software is a little "plain pack" - it plays far better than it
looks.
2. You can play at only 3 tables simultaneously...
3. No Canadians can play at Bodog Poker due to licencing
