How big is Bodog / Bovada?
With over 3,000 players at peak times Bodog is currently the #3 largest online poker network, and #1 for poker in the US. Americans play in a playerpool including Canada.
Is it good value?
While Bodog doesn't offer rakeback or VIP rewards there is a large deposit bonus, MTT guarantees, freerolls and a bad beat bonus on offer. The best incentive however is the simply the easy competition thanks to Bodog's global advertising and the many recreational players brought in from the casino and sportsbook brands. The tournament schedule is also the most extensive of the US facing poker rooms.
Bodog Poker Rakeback
VIP information on this page is accurate as of Bodog’s 2015 updates
Currently Bodog is only open to signups with an address and bank account in Canada or the United States (where the network is known as Bovada). Those players can still log in to play if traveling abroad.
Bodog and Bovada offer no rakeback or VIP program however they are home to the highest traffic of all US poker rooms, and winrates are high in the games.
The standard of play is kept on a level playing field thanks to all anonymous tables – tracking software is not supported with the exception of one self-tracking HUD for Bovada.
Tournament guarantees of up to $100k also help to bring in recreational players.
Bodog Poker promotions are infrequent, the sportsbook and casino run more regular promos however and some of those players inevitably stray over onto the poker tables.
