OVERALL VIEWS ON POKER AT BODOG
Bodog Poker offers fast and ultra-simple, no frills poker play with 35,000+ players online at peak times. Bodog accepts players from around the world with USA based players directed to a specialty poker and gaming site powered by Bodog called Bovada.
Both Bodog and Bovada are fun, safe sites that offer lots of bankroll building opportunities.
Licenced in Antigua, the UK, and Kahnawake, Canada, Bodog Entertainment is one of the world's fastest growing online media and digital entertainment companies.
BODOG POKER SITE LOOK & FEEL / PLAYABILITY
Bodog Poker's software is ultra simple and plays very quickly. It offers some good features but despite offering multi-table play at up to 3 concurrent tables Bodog would not be my choice if you like to mas out on multiple tables. (I'd play CarbonPoker.com). Picture in picture or Multi-window table views are available though. Good features include separate dealer announcements and chat, Quick Seat in the lobby gets you into a game ultra-fast, the folded hands display shows what would have happened, Bodog gives good table stats for analysis and the ability to tag and annotate players for future reference (Screen shots of BodogPoker tables below)
SOFTWARE & SYSTEMS AT BODOG POKER
Designed specifically for Bodog Poker the software on which you play is a download of about 31.8MB (about industry average). A brand new Flash based poker client is now available. Suitable for Mac users. The single wallet across sports/poker/casino, etc is fully integrated and you can retrieve your eCash balance, deposit, cash-out or change details anytime. Bodog's Bovada Poker is specific to USA players. NEW: Rabbit Cam (what the next card would have been), Anonymous tables

WITHDRAWALS - Bodog covers the fees for all payouts and will process money back to the method you used to deposit. Some providers however may charge you to receive your funds (but that's between you and your bank!)
POKER RAKE, SECURITY & GAME AUDIT
Bodog Poker 's rake is about average for the industry - they rake a maximum of 5% or $3. A no flop, no rake policy applies. Bodog Poker, Casino, Sportsbook & Racebook uses SSL encryption for online security and their back office processes protect access to your personal and financial data. These guys are pros and have run successfully for over a decade so security (and anti collusion/anti fraud) measures are important to them - and protect you.

BODOG POKER PLAYER COMPETITION - 'THE FISH FACTOR'
Player skill varies considerably but in general Bodog attracts lots of 'fish' (money making opportunities) as the sports betting, martial arts and digital music sides of the business draw in novice and loose players. This is common knowledge though, so there are lots of better players cashing in on this. Tag and annotate players to be selective!
BODOG POKER BONUS & PLAYER COMPS
Get a 10% bonus on your first deposit - uncapped! (So if you deposit big you get lots of extra chips!) - or a 110% deposit match to $1100. More info on the Bodog bonus below.
SUPPORT & GETTING STARTED AT BODOG POKER
Bodog Poker provides lots of onsite 'getting started' tips. Simple poker game rules (so if you're sick of Texas Hold'em you can try Omaha...), cheat sheets, hand guides & a few interesting tips from professional poker players. There is always something new worth a look. Downloading the software is quick and hassle-free, support is available 24x7 with live chat online or email and phone options. Play for free or for real - this is a well established & well run poker room that you can have confidence in.
What we LIKE about Bodog Poker
1. The Bodog slogan: Poker. Play Hard. It just somehow appeals and fits the whole
atmosphere of this up beat poker room.
2. Easy to play software - hassle free (but not the prettiest on the net)
3. Single wallet across sports betting, casino, poker and other stuff
4. Great reputation. These guys have provided SAFE, secure, fair online gambling for over a
decade and know their stuff.
What we DO NOT LIKE about Bodog Poker
1. Bodog Poker software is still a little "plain pack" - it plays far better than it looks.
2. You can play at only 3 tables simultaneously...(but at least now you can move the windows)
