Bodog Poker Review

Bodog Poker is one of the largest independent online poker rooms and is steadily ranked in the top 10 of all rooms when it comes to real money traffic. The weaker competition and steady stream of guaranteed tournaments are the two largest draws for this popular room.

Traffic

Bodog is a mid-major room, and the busy lobby reflects that. You’ll find strong no limit and limit traffic up to 5/10, with higher games running at peak times. The omaha lobby has a pretty good variety of available games , but the stud lobby (like most rooms) is generally empty.

As far as tournaments go, you’ll find a pretty strong MTT schedule with literally thousands of dollars in overlays on a daily basis. When it comes to tournament overlays, Bodog is far and away the industry leader. The SNG lobby is busy at lower stakes, but games are a little slower to fill once you hit the $100 buy in level.

Aesthetics

The table layout will seem slick to some and a little busy to others. Regardless of how you feel about the layout, the game play is smooth and the action options are well-designed. The lobby is pretty standard, although it lacks the sorting options of some other rooms. Players can upload a small image to serve as their avatar.

Deposit and Cashout

For deposit, Bodog offers Credit Card, NUcharge, Click2Pay and eWalletXpress. Physical check is available for cash out.

Support

Bodog support is generally solid in terms of quality and quickness. You have access to their support team via email or phone, and the professionalism of their team is far above the industry average. Complicated support requests take a little time, but issues are (in our experience) always resolved to the satisfaction of the player.

Unique Pros / Cons

The limitation to three table play and lack of resizeable tables will be annoying for some, but there’s no reason why that alone should stop you from playing at a room.

The seemingly unending string of guaranteed tournaments that don’t make, equaling money added for the player, is a major bonus for players at this room.
