Bodog Poker Review

Bodog's player benefits are a pretty well kept secret, probably because the site suspended US television advertising in early 2008. Bodog management has advised us that TV advertising will be back in 2009, which might mean the end of online poker's best player bonuses. Who knows - in the meantime, there is no better value in poker, for both new players, and for long-term players.
 
For new players, Bodog takes the 100% match a step further, offering an extra 10% instant cash the second you make your first deposit. After that, every month you make a deposit, it will trigger another 100% match bonus - automatically. All poker activity works towards earning these bonuses: including ring games, Sit n Gos, and tournaments, so no matter what type of player you are, you see the cash rewards every month. If you go on a winning streak (and Bodog is one of the easiest places to win - very few pro players), and never redeposit, you will still earn big rewards just by playing. All activity (even play money) earns Bodog Poker Points, which can be converted into cash 24/7, or can be used to buy into daily tournament qualifiers.

The tournament value at Bodog is fantastic. It is the only site that has offered consistent overlays in daily tournaments, and Bodog is willing to add hundreds of thousands $$$ to its guaranteed schedule every month. If you are one of the lucky winners of any live event seat, Team Bodog is highly regarded for their VIP treatment of their players. Last year every WSOP qualifier got a free helicopter trip over the Grand Canyon thrown in on top of their prize package - that's how they roll.
 
Bodog is also the only US friendly poker site to run its own poker software while offering sports betting. Not a sports bettor? Don't ignore the value of playing against them - Bodog is a place where casual money hits the tables during every big sports event, and makes for better action than any grinder site – our casino and horse bettor players too.
 
Based on the math, Bodog poker offers exceptional value for both recreational and semi pro players.
