Bodog Life Poker - BodogPoker

Bodog Poker

Bodog Life Poker is part of the Bodog brand which was created in 1998 and now provides a full online casino, online poker room and sports betting among other services. The poker room caters to online players through massive online tournaments with a weekly $100,000 guaranteed, a progressive leader board challenge and seats to live events. New players will receive a two part bonus which features an instant cash offer in addition to a match bonus, on top of the ability to redeem player points for cash back into your poker account. Located in Costa Rica, and licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Bodog Life Poker is endorsed by David Williams, Evelyn Ng, Jean-Robert Ballande and Justin ”ZeeZeeJustin” Bonomo, who can be found playing online daily. Bodog Poker accepts US players.

Bodog Poker Bonus

BodogPoker is offering all new players a $550 first deposit bonus, when you make an initial deposit of $20 or more. This bonus is slightly different than most other sites, in that you will receive a 100% match up to the $500 PLUS an extra 10% cash bonus which will be deposited into your player account immediately after your deposit has been processed. Both the match offer and cash bonus require that you earn a fixed number of frequent player points prior to requesting a withdrawal, with players needing to roll it over at least 10x. Points are awarded in any real money game at a rate of 1 point for every $1 in rake and another 3 points for every $1 paid in tournament fees. While you collect these points you will also be given the ability to cash them in for money back in your poker account. Reload bonuses are available on a monthly basis, and Bodog is known for providing additional incentives such as tournament coupons via email.

Ring Games

One of the biggest attractions to the poker room is still the number of high action and incredibly weak cash games. For the most part you will find plenty of casino and sports players making their way into the poker room to try their luck at the games. Often this attributes to the sites high flop percentages which can peak in the mid to high 50’s from the low limit games up to $5/$10 limits. Currently players will have access to Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, 5 Card Draw 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi Lo with stakes starting at $0.05/$0.10 up to $50/$100. Players who want higher limits can send a request to the poker room. Peak hours can see as many as 2,500 players online although Stud and Draw games are often inactive throughout the day. Bodog Poker takes a rake at a rate of 5% up to $3 per pot.

Bodog Life Tournaments

The tournament schedule is fairly impressive given that they have been able to compete with the top sites by providing players with huge events, such as their weekly $100K guaranteed and the newly release Bodog Open. Overall, Bodog Life Poker hosts over $4 million each month in guaranteed tournaments on top of their weekly leader board challenge. The leader board challenge is similar to other poker rooms, in that the points are earned based on your MTT finishes. The player at the end of the week who places at the top of the leader board is awarded with a heads-up match against one of the Team Bodog pros. This tournament has a minimum prize of $1,000 and should the pro win, that prize pool will be rolled over to the following week and continue to grow until a player has knocked out the pro. Another unique promotion is the Player’s Choice, which allows the winner to choose which land based event they wish to play in from any of the tournaments in the poker circuit up to a WSOP Main Event seat. The site also supports Sit and Go tournaments although these may have a longer than normal wait time for a game to fill then other sites.

Bodog Software

Bodog Poker uses proprietary software, which means that the program was created exclusive to them. The software was created to provide a simple approach to playing poker online, detailing lightening fast speed, a sleek appearance and easy to use interface. The simplicity in the design is one of the features that many of Bodog’s players prefer. Although the site offers no unique features you won’t find any lags or delays while playing which is an added bonus. The tables offer a flat background which will allow you to choose which color you would like to use, in addition to a spotlight which will rotate around the table to notify which player is next to act. Players will be able to take notes on their opponents, find your friends and perform player to player transfers. Bodog Poker supports up to four tables in play at once, with a newly added resizing tool, as well as their own custom multi-table layout to better adjust the games for you.

Support

Player support is one area that the company defiantly doesn’t lack in. Bodog features email and phone support with service available 24/7. The poker room has one of the most responsive and efficient support teams in the industry. Toll free numbers are available on the Bodog website if you need to contact them by phone.

Deposit and Withdrawals

The poker room supports a number of payment options although depending on which country you reside in these may be more limited than others. Current deposit options include; Credit cards, eWalletXpress, Click2Pay, Money Transfer, Viper Card (Prepaid phone card) and Rapid Transfer.
