Bodog Poker.com

Bodog Poker Games What is now known as Bodog Life was originally a sports betting venue featuring horse betting as well as Vegas-style sports book -- operating since the mid 90s with a few casino games thrown in along the way. Bodog added poker in 2004 and since that time, Bodog has seen a sizable year-to-year growth in both membership and popularity. Bodog is the poker home of 2006 WSOP Main Event champion Jamie Gold, and boasts of this kind have become important in the world of online poker, where competitors can invoke traditions like Poker Stars "three in a row" run on the WSOP.

As the name suggests, Bodog Poker is part of an entire Bodog chain of services. These include BodogCasino, which offers players the ability to play online slots, along with a Sportsbook and Racebook. The company originally was Bodog.com, but due to a legal dispute, the owner, Calvin Ayre, was forced to give up the domain after the domain expired and was stolen from beneath him. The Bodog brand is now under the domain Bodoglife.com. Even with a name change, the Bodog product remains the same.

Bodog Account Information

If you're a gambler, your account at Bodog will be valuable -- it can be used at any of the Bodog sites or platforms. This allows a player to bet on horses or an NBA game at the same time they play a session of poker. This sounds like exciting news, like maybe Bodog is on to something, like maybe this is the premier poker site in the world – but in the world of the aforementioned Poker Stars (among other contenders) the sheer number of tournaments presented at Bodog is not remarkable.

Bodog $100 K Guaranteed

The flagship tournament here could be the weekly Sunday tourney - every week on Sunday they host a $100,000 guaranteed tournament featuring qualifying ability or buy-in direct. The pot isn't as masculine as that offered elsewhere on the web, but regulars swear by the site's bonus system and other perks and they keep coming back. New players can take advantage of the Bodog sign up bonus using referral code"1366355" to receive a 100% match up to $500 in free BodogPoker chips PLUS an instant 10% cash bonus.

Bodog Poker Game Limits

The games played here lean towards the traditional online games of chance offered elsewhere. The popular cash games are $10, $25, $50, and $100 maximum tables. Each limit game usually seats about 10 full tables of players. I have found that if you can't find any games open for play, it is easy to sit down and start your own game. Bodog Life also offers a few higher stakes games -- $1000 and $2000 max tables with around 3 full tables of each limit. These games do not feature the apparently "soft" play found elsewhere at the site. Then again, what thousand dollar limit games DO feature soft play?

Texas Holdem on Bodoy

Bodog offers Texas Hold-em in many of its variations -- no limit, pot limit and fixed limit. They have Omaha with the option to play Hi or Hi/Lo, also three Stud games that were all but empty on my last visit. There are usually a couple tables of Omaha to look through, but this game is not as popular as Hold-em and it shows here.

Bodog FAQ

Bodog offers a comprehensive FAQ on the website (bodoglife.net) along with e-mail support 24/7 who responded in just minutes to my first query. They have a toll free phone number for any other customer service or technical issues that may arise. The website brags of "award-winning customer service", and admittedly the staff I spoke to on the phone as well as via email was friendly and well-informed -- and they got my problem fixed for me before I had time to fret over it.

BodogLife Review

In summary, BodogLife.net features a well-known poker room with some room to grow. The Bodog poker website is attractive without being flashy. The Bodog poker software is successful but lacks the polish of more poker-specific sites like Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars. But the software isn't Bodog poker's selling point anyway; Bodog's many novice-filled games are what separates Bodog poker from other online cardrooms.
