Bodog Review :
Bodog poker opened for business in 2004. However the sports book at Bodog and its casino were online in back in 1995. The same people who run the sports book and casino are also in charge of the poker room. Bodog‘s poker room grew very fast from the beginning thanks to a massive advertising campaign. They have a nice interface that allows people playing multiple tables to place several games on the left hand side of the screen. This leaves the main game open while still allowing you to easily monitor your other tables.
As a plus the casino at Bodog also runs very smoothly and is entertaining if you enjoy casino games. Bodog also earns credit for being a poker room that refuses to be bullied by the US government. Despite the Unlawful Gaming Enforcement Act of 2006 Bodog has continued to offer poker games to customers worldwide including the Americas.
With a 110% sign-up bonus up to $1100 Bodog has yet another great reason for players to win a join up. $100,000 in tournament prize money is also offered every Sunday with satellites starting at one dollar. Extra cash money is also added to the prize pool thanks to Bodog‘s frequently offered value added tournaments.
Bodog has one of the best customer support programs available today. I recently made an inquiry to Bodog concerning my password. The 800 number offered on their site connects you to a real person in a short time period. My problem was resolved with minimal effort and with and no ridiculous requests such as sending in my driver’s license or other documentation. For those who prefer not to deal with customer support over the phone Bodog also offers e-mail support.
Bodog offers a variety of poker games including their very popular Sit and Go tournaments. Most of these games have a very low buy in below $10. While you may find much larger stakes most of the tournaments are agt the lower levels. One odd thing about Bodog‘s Sit and Go tournaments is the fact that some of them pay down to fifth place as opposed to the top three that most sites tend to do. This means less prize money for 1st-3rd place.
Bodog also offers daily $500 free rolls. This is a great way for a new player to begin building up their bankroll without risking any real money. It is also easy to find very soft games were a knowledgeable player can gain an edge over his opponents. While players on the Bodog site are a little bit sharper than they used to be is still quite easy to find beatable poker games.
Bodog also offers players one free check per month for withdrawal. This will save you quite a bit of money if withdrawing by a check is your only option. Many sites incur a transaction fee for every withdrawal made by check for as much as $50. Deposits can be made by CLICK2PAY, eWalletXpress, Maestro, MasterCard, Moneybookers, NETELLER and Visa.
While it is a great place to find a beatable game Bodog poker is not the busiest site on the Internet. At peak times you will find an average of about 2000 players. It’s best to play during peak times in order to maximize your game selection and find the greatest number of recreational players.
