Resumen (Rated 8 out of 10)
Bodog is one of the few sites where US players are accepted. Therefore at almost any time of the day, one can find what he is looking for. The good game selection, the wide variety of players, the very stable software and the clean design outweigh the very small 1st deposit bonus of only 10%.

Selección de Juegos (Rated 7 out of 10)
Combining the games and stakes offered, Bodog is a great place to play a lot of poker. The possibilities vary from Full-Ring through Short-Handed up to Heads-Up tables at a lot of stakes. Also a huge tournament section is offered, featuring Sit-n-Go´s (unfortunately only NL and PL) on single and multi-tables, regular tournaments, plus satellites to big cash tournaments and even to the WSOP. This makes it easy to find the game best suiting your skill level and of course your bankroll. The only "bad" thing is that there are no tournaments offered in Limit Hold'Em.

Calidad de Jugadores (Rated 6 out of 10)
Bodog is a good fishing pond, at least at the lower stakes. There seem to be a lot of players trying their luck at the tables, originally coming from the casino, bingo, or sports-betting part of the Bodog network. At the lower stakes you’ll see a lot of these fishy players cold-calling, chasing unprofitable draws or calling-down with very weak hands. Nevertheless it is absolutely necessary not to loosen up too much!
Climbing up in the stakes, players are becoming better but the competition is still quite soft, comparable to sites like Party Poker. Overall it is a perfect place to build up a solid bankroll which can grow very constantly if you are a "good" player. On the other hand it is not a place to learn a lot, due to the lack of good and experienced players.

Software (Rated 8 out of 10)
Downloading and installing the software is pretty easy, as is the registration, deposit and withdrawal of funds. The only negative point is that there are not that many options to deposit or withdraw funds (just wire transfer, Neteller and Moneybookers), but most players are using these methods anyway.
The software is one the best in the industry. The lobby is clean and has a very structured layout. The playing tables make it easy to find the desired games and the ability to use the window-in-window-mode can be very useful, at least when playing slower games. The user also has the ability to use their Quick Seat option, by just entering the desired type of game, stakes and minimum number of competitors. It is also fairly easy to keep track of your cash, Bodog points and tournament points with the ability to print stats. Software updates are offered regularly. It is fast and stable, without using too many resources.
There are two weaknesses in the software. There are no hand history files stored on the local computer. Also, it is impossible to use poker software such as Poker Office.
back to top
Grafika (Rated 8 out of 10)
The graphics on Bodog are ultra-clean, only giving you the ability to change the felt color- nothing more, nothing less. There are no chairs or player icons, but it is possible to choose an avatar and set up a biography, although this feature requires the flash player to be installed. The player always sits in the lower middle of the table, which makes it very easy to play.
back to top
Rentabilidad (Rated 8 out of 10)
Bodog is the place to play, when you want to bring a solid increase to your bankroll. The soft competition outweighs the very small 1st deposit bonus of only 10% up to $100. It is fairly easy to fulfill the PokerSavvy requirements, even at the small stake tables. Compared to other big sites, there are a lot of fish in the Bodog pond, so make sure you bring your fishing net to the tables!

i like this site since the bonus is nice and the players are quite bad on NL25SH. Took some time to clear because only 3tabling is allowed. really liked the table layout there which makes it comfortable to play.
not my favorite

The games were mostly good and somethimes even grazy and the opponents were really bad but the thing that annoyed me very mutch was the lack of multitabling. Since there was a possibility to play only three tables at the same time I was getting really bored and tiltes a lot. Still the software was pretty nice and the tournaments were good.

Bodog is a great place to play. A lot of week players, very good sofware. But there are some cons-you can play only 3 tables same time and to save hand history you must buy external software.
I have cleared points in 2 weeks playing NL25 1-2 hour a day.

First of all, that bonus is quite easy to clear if youre doing 100NL.
The software is ok but you can only play 3 tables at the same time.
Thats the only thing i dislike about bodog.
It took some time to get news from bodog and it shows that i havent been tagged correctly first.
Bodog Support is very good and retagged me so i can enjoy my savvy points now!

As mentioned before, sit'n'gos practically don't exist, but there is always a ring game to join. It took my hours playing 3 0,25/0,50 NL tables to clear the requirements.

Thank you PokerSavvy for giving us some SavvyPoints for this promotion! The Bodog site is nice, it's just sad that you can't play at more than three tables at once!
No Sit'n'Goes, but still an easy bonus...

This bonus was pretty easy to clear. It only took a few hours playing at three $0.50/$1 tables at once. Unfortunately, you rarely see a full Sit'n'Go table, so you'll have to play cash games to clear this bonus.

This bonus is really easy to do, 350 Bodog Points can be earned in their play money games with their 'Paid to Play' promotion, their Sit'n'Goes are soft and I love the structure.

This bonus was not the easiest to clear, but the tables are loose and have lots of fish which should help you make a tidy profit while clearing the requirements of this bonus!

Bodog's software is a bit odd at first sight, but when you get used to it, it's okay. You can only play at up to three tables at once, which is a bit bad. There are quite few players at Bodog, so you have to play during European prime time hours to get some action. I would say the players there are very loose, but a bit more aggressive than most gamblers. Expect some swings on your bankroll.
Just another poker room...

At Bodog you can play Hold'em, Omaha and Stud poker. You can play no-limit, pot-limit and fixed-limit cash games. Limits start at $0.05/$0.10 to $10/$20. There are also a lot of Sit'n'Go and multi-table tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $1 to $220. There are a lot of players, so you don't have to wait a long time to find a free seat at a table of your favorite limit. You can only play at up to three tables the same time. I don't think Bodog is a special poker room, but it's nice to clear the PokerSavvy bonus!

I can really appreciate playing at this room!! The staff is very good and the cash-out was very fast. I really advise playing at this room if your game is short-handed low-limit Hold'em!! It's great to begin with... If you are beginner, the skill level of the other players is not so high and you can really enjoy yourself. Of course, if you play low buy-in tournaments, this is not the right place for you!! I really advise that you only play cash games at Bodog.
Excellent!!

At Bodog Poker it is easy to make a deposit, but I had some problems with my withdrawal. The graphics look good. Players are very bad and sick. I had a good time there!

Very loose games at Bodog. Their software allows you to multi-table up to three tables at a time and is a bit different then other poker room softwares, but it's nice. Four Stars because the bonus takes some time to clear at $25 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em with only three tables.
Easy bonus with bad opponents!

The requirements for earning the SavvyPoints bonus are very easy to do. The software is ugly, but the opponents are really bad so I guess I can put up with it.

Bodog is a really nice site. The software is great and there are bad players everywhere you look. The Royal Flush bonus is awesome. A friend of mine got it twice in one month. The bonus you get is the pot you won multiplied by 100! The only bad thing is the maximum of 3 tables open at once.
Great place to play!

Easy-to-use software, good traffic, lots of fish and a good range of games make Bodog a great place to play. The required Bodog Points are fairly easy to clear out, even at lower stakes.

I didn't think it was that great of a place for internet poker. You can only multi-table up to 3 tables at the same time. The software is okay, but there are not many players around.
Strange software.

I managed to complete the bonus but I had problems with the software which was freezing randomly... I don't know if it was specific with my computer but be careful, I advise you to test it first in play money mode! ;)

Offering both a Sportsbook and Poker, it's nice to have it all in one site. I'm not really fond of their software, but the advantages far outweigh this small drawback.

Bodog is okay. The sign-up bonus and SavvyPoints are super easy to clear, but you can't play more than three tables at once, they don't have shorthanded $50 max buy-in no-limit Hold'em tables and the 10% sign-up bonus isn't very big. It's still worth giving it a shot, competition is virtually non-existent.

The bonus is hard to clear at lower limits, and you can only play at up to three tables at once. But, there are a lot of bad players at the tables.

I didn't like the software very much. Cards are very small and you have to click on the chips to see the size of the bets. You only can play 3 tables at a time, I wish you could have more tables open at once. The welcome bonus is okay, however.

The Bodog interface looks quite smart and is also easy to handle. The traffic on the site is okay - most of the people playing there are Americans. At the lower limits and on the so called "Beginner Sit'n'Gos" (where the first 5 people are paid) the players have very little skill. I have made big profits at these limits. The only bad thing at Bodog is that you can not play more than three tables at the same time, because the software doesn't allow this.

I registered through PokerSavvy to test the waters at Bodog Poker. Registration itself was quite clear and easy, no problems. Even the Bodog website looks quite classy. I made a small $60 deposit using NETeller (I'm European) which gave a bonus of a mere $6, it came directly to the account though (with some cash out restrictions). Played mostly micro-stakes No-Limit Hold'em, site is open for US players, so lots of them there. Micro-stakes No-Limit games are quite loose and aggressive. I think the games were quite loose compared against some other sites. Didn't like the table view though, the card graphics are quite small. But in total, easily recommendable site.

Bodog Poker is a pretty good place. Other player's skills are below average. Of course, that also means lots of bad beats. Pots are also usually very huge when you play $1/2 Limit Hold'em.
