BodogLife.com Poker Review

Bodog Poker.com is one of our favorite poker rooms, in large part because we play lower stakes in general, and BodogLife poker has a larger than usual population of "fish". (Bad poker players is where the money is.) The Bodog poker software is good but not great, but their customer service is some of the best in the industry. Bodog Poker.com is endorsed by poker pros like Evelyn Ng, David Williams, and Josh Arieh.

Bodog Poker Software

Bodog Poker.comBodog Poker requires a software download in order to play. This is not unusual, and almost all online poker rooms do require this, so it's not a drawback for most poker players. The BodogLife poker software runs fast and offers some unique functionality not available at other online poker rooms, like the ability to play three tables from the same window. (Most online poker rooms allow multitabling, but you're limited to one table per window.)

While Bodog supports PokerTracker for ring game play, tournament play is not supported for PokerTracker. This is a minor drawback in our opinion, as most PokerTracker users are ring game players anyway.

Bodog poker software offers note-taking ability so you can keep up with your opponents' tendencies. The software also tracks your play, so you can see what percentage of the flops you're seeing and how often you win.

The BodogLife poker software download takes up 31.8 MB.

Bodog Poker Bonus

In an online poker environment where some online poker sites offer bonuses of $600 or $2000 just for signing up and depositing, Bodog Poker is unusual. They only offer a 10% signup bonus as opposed to the 100%+ signup bonus offered at a lot of other poker sites. To be eligible for this bonus, you must deposit at least $20 if you deposit online, or at least $50 if you deposit over the phone.

There are perks to Bodog's 10% signup bonus though. One perk is that the 10% bonus has no maximum. If you deposit $5000 on your first deposit, then you get a $500 signup bonus. (Keep in mind that depending on what deposit method you use, there might be a maximum that you can deposit though. But that max is based on the deposit method; it's not a max from Bodog.)

Bodog's poker bonus also has the easiest rollover requirements of any online poker bonus. For every 3 player points you earn, $1 of your signup bonus is released into your account.

The signup bonus can also be used toward sports betting or casino betting if you like, although the wagering requirements for that kind of betting is different.
