Bodog Poker review

Bodog Poker is an independent online poker room which keeps accepting US traffic to this day. It had more than its fair share of problems in the past. The DoJ had its mind set on fining Calvin Ayre, Bodog’s ex-owner, then domain trolls got their hands on Bodog’s URL. It took a while to settle the issues, but now Bodog is back in the saddle and it’s moving along better than ever. Due to the fact that it accepts US players, the traffic numbers are excellent. The only problem is that beginners seem to be the majority at the tables: games are extremely loose but there seems to be a shortage at the higher stakes.
Bodog does have a world-famous sportsbook and an online casino too, and players do float over from those operations so the fishiness may be sustained by that migration too.

The bottom line is, Bodog is an excellent destination for more than one reasons. It has some excellent promotions, a decent weekly guaranteed MTT and some of the best value freerolls available anywhere. Indeed players can just register for these freerolls off the street so to speak, as there are no prerequisites they need to fulfill to be alowed to join.
Bodog is also quite probably the only online poker operation which gives its players full value PPs for time spent at the play money tables.

Bodog’s sign-up bonus is pretty quirky too: it gives players money upfront. Of course the remainder of the bonus has to be unlocked through real money play.
