Bodog has been around since the mid 90’s and can be considered an established and trusted online brand. Orignally an online sportsbook, they made the move into online casino and finally into online poker in 2004. Although not part of a network, the traffic at Bodog is decent enough. And, as a lot of the players have come through their online casino or online sportsbook, you can expect a decent number of below average players!! A special mention must be made regarding the customer service at Bodog – without question on of the best there is at any online poker room.

 

The Software

 

Bodog have aspirations beyond their current level, and they probably have the software to do it. Perhaps not the very best out there, but certainly no complaints about the speed, playability and functionality. Most of the tried and tested poker room features are there and the lobby is well laid out and easy to use. Muli-tabling poker players may be frustrated by the maximum number of tables, but there are more than enough positives to make up for this.

 

Overall an attractive, easy to use and functional platform that will keep most online poker players happily amused.

 

The Games

 

As most of us have come to expect from the larger online poker rooms, Bodog offers a wider selection of poker games than just Texs Hold ‘em. You’ll also find Omaha Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud.

 

There is a decent range of stakes available and a good range of Sit ‘n’ Go go tournaments and Multi Table Tournaments. Some of the guarantees available in these tournaments are well worth a look!

 

Bonus and Rewards

 

There is a decent sign-up bonus at Bodog – 110% of your first deposit up to $500. Unusually, 10% of this is released straight into your bank roll for immediate use. This makes a bonus much more valuable to a poker player and Bodog is one of the few online poker sites to do this.

 

All your play at Bodog is rewarded with Bodog Points. These are awarded if you contribute to the rake during cash game play or for fees paid in tournament entries. You also points just for time spent at the tables! These can be exchanged for cash or used to enter satellite touraments.
