Overview

Bodog Poker is a top rated poker room for more reasons than just a sign up bonus. Bodog was established in 1995 and at the time was only involved in sportsbooking. Since this they have released a casino and poker room among other involvements in the industry. Bodog has a solid record spanning over ten years for providing top of the line financial security, fair gaming and ensuring player’s needs are met at every level. This can be proven through the awards and nominations the company has received from accredited gambling magazines like Online Gambling Magazine and Casinomeister. Bodog offers some incredible overlays, WSOP, and WPT satellites and has become a favorite room for US poker players.

The competition at Bodog.com is still loose with a lot of action seen at the micro tables. Some of this can be due to the casino and sportsbook players turning to the tables, but another factor can also be that they are one of the few rooms remaining that allow US players. Since the UIGEA came into effect the traffic at Bodog has increased at a steady rate. Whatever the reasons may be the loose games are present and can be profitable.

Poker Tournaments

The first thing worth mentioning as far as tournaments go is the overlays. Bodog still offers an impressive $100,000 GP which has a substantial overly. You can buyin directly for $100 or win your way through daily qualifiers. Other games include daily $10,000 and $20,000 guaranteed tournaments among re-buys and freezouts. Bodog offers the opportunity to play with their own team of professional players (David Williams, Josh Arieh, and Evelyn Ng) in a leaderboard challenge or winning a seat to a live event where you will play for Team Bodog. Tournaments are featured in Texas Holdem and Omaha format with re-buy, GP, freezouts all available. Tournaments are offered for as little as $1 and you can usually expect buyins not to exceed a few hundred.

Bodog Ring Games

The ring games are only available in standard format such as; Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Five-Card Stud. Bodog Poker stakes start at 0.05/0.10 and climb into some fairly high stakes, although you won’t find a lot of action past the $10/$20 NL. The majority of the traffic is geared towards the No Limit Holdem tables with some Omaha during peak hours. The room is not on the large end of the scale when it comes to player base but there is enough ring players to keep the tables going. On average you can expect to see 2500+ during peak hours. Bodog Poker takes a fixed rake at 5% and capped at $3.

Bodog Software

The software was recently updated and Bodog implemented some new features that have long been over do. These things include better layout to the tables along with customization of backgrounds. Players seated at the tables are now highlighted with a timer when it is their turn. The button dealer has been resized along with the avatars. All of the changes that have been implemented are not required to be used. You can still use the previous version of the software if you would like to. Bodog Poker offers a clean and easy to read lobby with in menu stats such as pre flop percentage, average pot size and player stack. They also support tagging of players along with grading them. The software allows for multi table play with up to three tables simultaneously with easy to use options such as mini view, full view or a combination of both.
