Bodog is our top choice for online poker. This is a superb all-round room that offers everything from top quality software to excellent regular promotions. The bodog company was established in 1995 and it has only been over the last few years that the poker room has really started to take off. The room is now rapidly growing due to successful advertising campaigns and its ability to retain large amounts of players that sign up. The room has also kept its doors open to the US which has attracted many American poker fans and increased the amount of player traffic that the room receives. The room offers all of the popular game varieties including Hold'em, Omaha and Stud.
If you are looking for a room to start playing online poker with, or looking to improve the online experience, we highly recommend the Bodog poker room. |

| The software loads quickly and runs smoothly at all times. It is very rare to experience any glitches with the software and most people never do. The lobby is set out well and allows for easy navigation around the wide range of games and tables on offer. The table layout is simplistic and effective, but it is by no means dull. You are able to upload personal avatars (pictures) that will be displayed next to your
name whilst you play, or alternatively you can choose an avatar already available on the software. The game runs at a healthy pace and every action is very clear. The room also has a number of features such as four color deck and 'picture in picture' which is very useful when multi-tabling. |

| Bodog has a large number of players which continues to grow rapidly as time progresses. Due to the fact that Bodog still accepts US players, the room has managed to achieve one of the highest player volumes in the industry. The quality software and promotions helps to attract new players whilst retaining players that have already signed up, which results in an incredibly high player traffic. There are always enough players connected at all times of the day so that you will never be stuck waiting for new tables to open up before you can play. |

| Bodog hosts some of the worst players of all the online poker rooms, which is due to the company running a popular casino. This results in casino players drifting over to the poker room ready to gamble with their money more than your average poker player. Therefore the room is an ideal destination if you are looking to grind out some money from the tables on a daily basis. |

| The customer support at Bodog is of a very high standard. e-mails are responded to quickly (usually within 15 minutes) and address any problems that you may have very efficiently. There is currently no online live chat available, although there is a phone service, and the prompt response you receive from e-mail queries more than makes up for the lack of a live chat feature. |

Bodog offers one of the best sign-up bonuses out of all the online poker rooms. Bodog offers an unlimited 10% plus a 100% up to $500 match sign-up bonus on deposits over $20 ($50 by phone). The 10% bonus will automatically be credited to your account within 30 minutes and can be gambled with at the tables without the need to redeem the bonus through playing any number of raked hands first. The additional 100% up to $500 bonus can be redeemed through generating rake at the tables. You are eligible for this bonus if you visit Bodog through the links on this site as no bonus code is required.

The only stipulations are that you are unable to withdraw the 10% bonus from your account until you have acquired 3 bodog points for every $1 of bonus you received. So if you deposit $500 and receive a $50 bonus, you will have to accumulate 150 bodog points before the $50 bonus can be withdrawn from your account. However; the original $500 can be withdrawn at any time, but you will forfeit the bonus if you withdraw the original sum before the bonus is eligible for withdrawal (So you can't make a deposit and immediately withdraw it, then play with the bonus money left over). To receive the additional $500 bonus you must accumulate 10 bodog points per additional $1 of bonus within the first 30 days.
You will receive a certain number of bodog points depending on the rake taken in each hand. The table below displays the structure:
| Rake |
Points |
| $1-00-$3.00 |
1.00 |
| $0.50-$0.95 |
