Bodog Poker Review

Bodog Poker is a medium large online poker room with around 1,500 real money ring game and 7,500 real money tournament players during American peak hours. If the bulk of the online poker community realized how amazingly soft their games and Sit and Goes are (even at high stakes), we have no doubt this room would be much larger. Perhaps their games are so soft because of spillover traffic from their fully integrated sports betting and casino products, or perhaps it has to do with their marketing appeal or other factors but honestly it doesn’t matter the reason, the point is: Bodog Poker offers some of the softest and easy to beat real money poker games online.

In addition to soft games there are plenty of other reasons to play at this poker room including a 110% up to $550 sign up bonus, a monthly loyalty bonus plan, tournament leaderboard promotions, free cash outs via money transfer and much more. To take advantage of these soft games and generous promotions visit the Bodog Poker website to get started.

Bodog Poker Software Review

Bodog Poker has recently undergone several major software updates and is now not only up to par with the latest industry innovations such as resize-able tables, advanced multi-table support, easier to access hand histories etc, but now also offers a more unique gaming experience. The first thing you’ll notice about the software is that it is lightening fast. This does take away a bit of the life like poker experience some online poker rooms focus on, however winning players should love this feature as it allows them to get in a lot more hands per hour.

Bodog also offers a 3 table view feature that is quite unique. The way this works is that one main table will be show on center screen, while the other two are shrunken to mini view and moved to the left sidebar. Its easy to toggle between which site is in the large view as a simple double click on one of the tables will move that one to large view and move the previous large view over to mini view. While this layout takes a little while to get used to once you are used to it it comes in handy for getting a better view of tables where a tough decision might be brewing while playing the easier hands in the background.

Overall we give the Bodog software a B-. The negative aspects are no player search, no player to player transfer, and the adjustment period required to get used to its uniqueness. As far as reliability, functionality and security is concerned we give the software a solid A..
