Bodog's poker room has really gained in popularity over the couple of years. This is partly due to one of their own poker players, Jamie Gold, taking poker's top prize in the WSOP Main Event in 2006. Partly due to the fact that Bodog still allows US players, and partly because the Bodog site offers a decent range of poker games with easy deposit and withdrawal methods, efficient and user friendly software, and the fact that Bodog Poker offers around $5 million in guaranteed prizes every month, including a very popular $100k prize pot every week!

For United States residents Bodog offers the following safe and secure deposit and withdrawal methods - Visa, MasterCard, eWalletXpress, and NuCharge with minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts of $20.

The level of competition in the Bodog poker rooms is fairly soft which opens up opportunities for skilled players to take advantage and make some long term profits. Bodog may not be the last word in the selection of poker games available (Hold 'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 card stud, 7 card stud Hi/Lo, 5 card stud) but they have plenty of busy Texas Hold Em tables with lots of tournaments and freerolls on a daily basis. Cash games range from $.05/$.10, right up to $30/60 limit games. There are cash games available almost 24/7, filled with players across many time-zones and plenty of low level games give newer players a chance before they step up to the bigger money tables and tournaments.

There are many tournament options at Bodog with Multi-Table Tournaments, Freerolls, Bodog Poker Point Tournaments, Satellites, Multi Table SNG’s (sit and go), and Re-Buy Tournaments. Ranging from $1 up to $300 buy-ins there is a tournament to suit all budgets. A special $100,000 guaranteed prize pool tournament with $100 buy-in is featured every single week.

The Bodog Poker software is easy to follow and does not seem to suffer any time lags even when site is busy. Perhaps lacking in some of the advanced statistics offered by competitors, however all the basics are there such as average pot size and frequency of flops. You can play up to 3 tables at once, and can have multiple windows for playing different tables or smaller table views attached to the lobby.

The Bodog poker room is always busy and regularly hits 5,000 to 7,000 players and can even get as high as 15,000 during big tournaments. The site continues to grow steadily as many other poker rooms are refusing to accept deposits from American players.
