introduction:
Bodog is a well established name dating back to 1994 created by the billionaire Calvin Ayre. Originally they started out offering casino games and it was only until 2004 that they offered Bodog Poker. Bodog has only recently offered a good deposit bonus in the past it has been as little as 10% which is probably the reason as to why the traffic on Bodog isn’t as high as other sites, the advantage to this is that the site offers very soft competition. Bodog got a boost of advertising with their claim to fame having their own player Jamie Gold winning the World Series of Poker's main event in 2006.
graphics and the look:
The software for Bodog is ok, definitely a lot better after the recent updates and with an added funky feature of being able to upload your own avatar. The whole look and feel of the rooms and lobby flow a lot better now, it still has a simplistic look to the graphics but it works to its own advantage that it’s easy to get around. It has all the usual characteristics of statistics and basic settings and other than the avatars it really is a No Frills version of online poker but it does exactly what it says on the tin, you can play poker online. A good thing about having stripped down graphics is the speed of the program, they are exceptionally fast which is great as there is nothing more annoying than having to wait for your system to play. All in all the software is good could be worse but could be made better.
the games and tournaments:
Bodog offer the usual games of Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 5 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo – most available in Limit, Pot Limit, No Limit, Scheduled Tournaments and Sit'n'go Tournament options.
Bodog Poker have a huge range of buy–ins and types of games so you can always find the right game. They have a big range of skill levels playing at the tables so you never have to get in over your head – you can either find a challenge if that is what you are after but you don’t have to feel intimidated, you have a wide choice.
The tournaments are great and plentiful, you can always find a tournament to play in. They start every minute, and range from freerolls all the way up to big, $500 buy-in tournaments.

Bodog has its head office, and is licensed in, the Caribbean nation of Antigua. They offer support via email and phone, the email support responds to you within hours and is of high quality.
