Bodog Poker Review
Established long ago back in the '90s, Bodog started out as an online Sportsbook and then later opened its poker and casino operations. I say long ago, because not many online gambling sites were operational in the 1990's. Bodog has a really attractive website and attractive poker platform to play on. The Bodog poker website offers alot of help for the new player to improve their game or just get to know the basics like the rules for each game and basic strategy. However, you won't find that true unique edge on their website. You will have to read about advanced poker play elsewhere. Which is fine because its not the poker site's job to provide that kind of advanced training. Check out our strategy section for more information on the subject.
Software/Graphics
Bodog Poker's software is unique with its red rich colors and spotlight that goes over each player's hand when its their turn to act. Try the quick seat feature which is a convenient way to find a game. During the day you will need the quick seat because the poker room is not that busy. However, at night it picks up with Americans who are done working their jobs and gets a large amount of European player traffic. With most poker sites sharing network's and sharing the same software manufacturers, there are only a handful of unique poker software programs and Bodog is one of them.
Game Selection
Bodog Poker's game variety includes all the best and most popular games like Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud, 7cs Hi-Lo, and 5cs. These are the games that most people play for serious money. As well as scheduled tournaments, Bodog Poker also offers heads up tournaments also. People who like the semi-exotic varieties of Poker like Razz and Badugi or even HORSE, won't find it at Bodog Poker. Bodog Poker does have free poker games though and lots of lower limit tables available.
Bonuses/Promotions
The bonus for first time players at Bodog is 110% up to $1100. You get 10% instantly on your first deposit without clearing any real game play yet. Then after that you clear the bonus by way of earning points by playing real money hands. Every 10 points earned equals $1. So 100 points equals $10 and so forth and so on. You also earn points for time played on Bodog. Every 60 minutes played equals 1 point. However, the bonus is one thing, you can also continue to earn cash back by earning points and cashing them in for real money. Its sort of a poker VIP program which is sort of a rakeback program.
Payment Options
Deposit options at Bodog are credit cards like Visa and MasterCard of course. eWalletXpress, MyPayLinQ are the ewallets available to US customers. Check and wire transfer is also an option. If you deposit via an eWallet you will receive your cashout to that method. If you deposit via check, wire transfer, or credit card, you can expect to withdraw by check or wire transfer.
